Since it was our first time at Pure Soul, the host gave us drinks on the house (we got Sweet Tea, Lemonade, and Root Beer). The tea and lemonade were on the sweeter side, but I enjoyed both. My sister liked the root beer, which was from Uncle's Scott's, a local NC brand. They also offer a discount for teachers, students, and veterans. For entrees, we got the: - Drumstix plate (BBQ, buffalo, or fried- included rice and a sauce): We chose fried- it was perfectly crispy, so tasty. Couldn't choose between hot honey and honey mustard, so they gave us both, again so nice. Rice was well-cooked. - Chicago burger (grilled onions, cheddar, pickles, tangy aioli): Classic! Enjoyed this overall. - Fried fish plate (includes rice, slaw & tartar sauce): This is funny, but this dish was a bit too fishy for me lol. But crazy how well they do their vegan alternatives. - BBQ plate ("pulled pork" in a sweet BBQ sauce, served with slaw): Probably my least favorite entree, I think the pork was too sweet for me, but it did balance with the slaw. We tried a bunch of sides, which from my most to least favorites were: Soul Mac (not too cheesy), Hushpuppies (crispy outside, pillowy inside), Rob's Favorite Cornbread (so moist), Sweet Potato Fries (classic), Bilbo's Greens, Blackeyed Peas & Veggies, and Nik's Candied Yams (too sweet for me). Ambiance is nice with both indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of parking available. 10/10 would recommend!

My Afro-Latina heart was so happy…read more I've been searching for really good Latin food since moving to North Carolina, and Boricua Soul absolutely delivered. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was on point. They were playing great music that made the whole place feel lively and welcoming, and I loved that you can choose to eat inside or enjoy the outdoor patio. My husband and I both ordered the Boricua Soul Bowl. He got the chicken, and I got the pernil. The pernil was incredible it was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The bowl came with arroz con gandules, collard greens, mac and cheese, and I chose the tostones. I had honestly given up on finding good tostones that I didn't have to make myself, but these were exactly what I'd been craving. Crispy, perfectly cooked, and absolutely delicious with the Guava Lava sauce. Since, I couldn't pass them up, we also ordered a side of maduros, and they were perfectly caramelized and sweet. The empanadas easily made my top five. Crispy on the outside, flavorful on the inside, and gone way too quickly. Also don't skip the watermelon lemonade, it was so refreshing and paired perfectly with everything we ordered. We'll definitely be back. There are still so many things on the menu I want to try, but I already know I'll be ordering the Boricua Soul Bowl. One tip for first-time visitors: if you're sitting inside and trying to get back outside , the exit is the same door you originally came in through on the far glass door. There is a sign, but we watched three different people accidentally try every other part of the glass first, so hopefully this saves someone a little confusion.

I ordered two empanadas--one mojo chicken and one beef picadillo. Both were crisp and well seasoned, but I think I'll get two chicken empanadas next time. My friend ordered the garlic shrimp sandwich with a side of mac and cheese. He felt like the sandwich could have had more garlic, but he loved the mac and cheese! He let me try it, and it was loaded with cheese and very good. Inside seating is limited, and we were lucky to find outdoor seating today. When you go, be sure to bring your card--they don't accept cash.

I chose the pork chops, candied yams, and macaroni and cheese. My mother selected the turkey wings, collard greens, and macaroni and cheese, while my cousin opted for the fish and candied yams. The serving sizes were unexpectedly large, and the candied yams were every bit as delicious as I had expected. The food was superb. I was so impressed that I requested the hotel to package my leftovers, which I then took with me on my return flight home. I didn't think to take photos until after we began to eat.

You must follow their IG page daily and wait for them to post their open times for the day. The menu changes daily. The owner only makes a certain amount of food for the day so when it sells out you are out of luck. If you want something specific get there early.

You're a restaurant with a website wasting a domain ... at least ATTEMPT to keep that accurate! Also, to clarify: If you check sanitation scores like I do - they used to be listed as KALE'S KITCHEN but are now listed as KALES AT JOE'S DINER. They do have a good grade though!! Just something to be aware of if you check places frequently like I do.

I ordered fish with two side and wings with one side. The only thing I had was fish and wings no sides. Got the sides all on one plate even though it was two separate orders. I got two pieces of small cornbread haphazardly thrown in a bag when I had to ask for it. Everything that I ordered was clearly on my receipt and they did not even reference it to make sure it was accurate. I gave it 2 stars because the fish was seasoned well and the yam soufflé was pretty good. The cornbread would have been better if it wasn't cold.
