This…read moretime the lady was nice but food, while tastes good, pales in comparison to my first visit - as do the portions of the side items. This time it's a bit salty - but a swig or 2 of water balanced it out. I'm cool w/ day old food - even the big boys do it - so while u can taste it in the pork chops - they are still good (red sauce is my own Franks Xtra Hot) and tender enough to cut with a plastic knife w/ ease! Rice and greens cooked perfect. Now that mac and cheese!! Baby!!!!!!! If you can - zoom in -I can't even describe how great it is! It reminded me of my granny's w/ the different cheeses & other secret goodies! I hope my next visit is Chef's Kiss - I know they are capable b/c that's what got me to come again! Oh and I had carrot cake- it's HUGE!! Worth every penny! The icing on the carrot cake tastes home made as well. Well done! See ya next time!

Today was my first time ordering from Soul Food Cafe. I had a craving for soul food and decided to…read moretry somewhere different since I usually order from Busy B's in Atlanta. Unfortunately, I should have stuck with Busy B's. This was my first order from Soul Food Cafe, and it will definitely be my last. I ordered the smothered pork chops with broccoli cheese casserole and macaroni and cheese. I also tried the cube steak, cornbread dressing, and fried chicken. Honestly, the entire meal was a huge disappointment. The rice that came with the pork chops was undercooked, which was surprising because no restaurant should be serving rice that isn't fully cooked. The cube steak and cornbread dressing were not enjoyable at all, and the fried chicken was bland and lacked flavor. I'm genuinely confused by all of the great reviews because my experience was the complete opposite. Based on the meal I received, I can't recommend this restaurant. Busy B's may be more expensive, but in my opinion, they're worth every penny because the quality and flavor are consistently there. Unfortunately, Soul Food Cafe was a complete miss for me. Based on my experience, I would give it 0 stars.

It's a very simple walk up/take out spot with one monitor that is the menu and where you place your order. I love how you can see straight through the kitchen.... Nothing to hide!!! 4 employees that I seen were all working!! Not on the cell phones or out front smoking! ( seeing that makes me turn around ) I was greeted by a man with a heavy and accent... AWESOME!!! All I remember is saying that I was good ( the food illustrations with big pictures had me HYPE-MO-TIZED !! The man came towards the counter and let me know about an item that said it was sold out was actually being prepared and back on the menu! So many options so I decided to get enough food for a couple days... the Mardi Gras pasta was awesome ! Absolutely packed into my container and just tasty as hell! My red beans and rice scared me at first .. ( all I seen was white rice in a container) all the goodness was under the rice!! I mixed it up and added a bit of hot sauce and it was ! Now the jambalaya egg roll is absolutely delicious!! Crispy but flaky egg roll packed COMPLETELY with its ingredients!!

Chiiiiiiild, do NOT go to this restaurant if you have anything to do afterwards. I was not…read moreprepared for the quality of food or service I received here. I found this restaurant online. I literally searched Black-owned restaurants in the area/going toward home. I was leaving commencement downtown and wanted to get something to eat. Walking in, there is a lot of open space and I needed to take the time to read their signage to see what I needed to do. They ask that you not be on your phone while in line. They have their menu posted and some chalkboards with other menu items at the start of the line. There is so much to choose from and everything looks fresh. The woman taking my order was helpful and kind. I was almost overwhelmed, but decided on the smothered porkchop with rice, candied yams, dressing, peach cobbler, sweet potato pie, and a sweet tea/lemonade to drink. I paid roughly $40 after adding the tip. I sat down to eat and enjoy my food. They were playing 90s R&B and it wasn't too loud so you couldn't hear yourself think. It was at an enjoyable volume that you could sing the words in your head and still talk to people at your table. The food tasted amazing. I was not able to finish it all and was ready for a nap after eating. Everything was flavorful. I LOVED seeing so many young people working in this establishment. Everyone I encountered was a young adult; even the young men working in the kitchen who made brief appearances at the front were young adults. They were all so professional and polite. You don't always get that, but that was my experience. I have already talked about this restaurant with my friends and family and we will make a trip back soon.

I purchased the oxtails for my mom with mac n cheese, cabbage, and peas/ rice ($26.99). My second visit was on Feb. 5th. I ordered the vegan meatloaf plate $22.99 and the vegan fried chicken plate $16.99. Each plate came with peas/ rice and two sides. The vegan fried chicken is fire! It's so crispy and flavorful and the jerk sauce was perfect! Definitely get it an order. Vegan meatloaf brings on childhood memories, and it's such a wholesome flavorful meal. Side are good but I prefer a little spice in my food so it's a little bland for my taste but they are good. It's a family business and service is 5 stars! Very friendly, warm welcome and you can tell they enjoy serving and cooking for the community. Also, the portions are very large. Each plate is enough for 2 days or enough for 2 people. Definitely a must and I will be back.
