The food is so very good. The owner and rest of the staff is so gracious and pleasant. I had oxtails, rasta pasta and cabbage and was definitely pleased with the taste of it all, the portions and the price. My boyfriend has the sticky wigs, mac and cheese and fries and he is the most picky eater but said he loved it. He ate a bit of mine and liked it as well. Even the fries were cooked to perfection. I have since been back for the BBQ turkey wings and they didn't disappoint either. You have made a repeat customer out of me. read more

Was back in the area so had a 2nd visit. My daughter liked the catfish (fried well), cabbage and mac. I enjoyed my whiting again (just needed a few more flecks of salt), the rice was perfect, and the sweet potatoes were good to me as they weren't syrupy sweet like some soul food places prepare them. Paid $35 for both platters which was fare. Great customer service too ! I'll be back to try more from the menu 8/10 read more

Everything about this place is in the name. You will definitely be feeding your soul. I've been here twice so far. I usually like to review a place after I've tasted more things, but the whiting is so good, I had to order it again. I am a little salt sensitive, but I have no problem with the fish. Sometimes they sell out of stuff, so you should come before dinner time. Pros: good soul food, good price, and there is a lot! If you get a platter, it is packed with food. You will not be disappointed by the portions. Main course food is made fresh to order (little bit of wait time is worth it). Friendly atmosphere- everyone says hi, even the other customers. There's an open kitchen so you can see everything that's going on. Cons: It gets a little hot in there with all the frying air. If you can't take a little heat, get it to go. You can't place an order online (not a deal breaker). Great lunch and dinner place. read more

The chicken was falling off the bones! I can't wait to try everything in this restaurant! The owner was so friendly and genuine! I love supporting hard-working small businesses, and I can see he puts so much love into this business! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Go check them out! read more

Closed as it should have been very inconsistent with the open/close dates and quantity of food.

Food is delicious. Fish and shrimp is always fried to perfection. The sides are delicious.

While traveling we found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. The food was very good and the father and son who run the restaurant were very friendly and nice. The value of the meal was good especially since we were able to take some home. Very plain and simple dining room. A lot of the food is pick up but it was clean and, as I said, very friendly and welcoming. I don't live in the area but I might come back next time I am driving by read more

My wife and I were looking for a place to eat on the way to Newark airport and were lucky enough to find this spot.

We had great conversation with Barry and Aaron and they made the whole experience memorable. Would absolutely go back to this place next time we're in the area! read more

I stumbled upon FEED YA SOUL when a food truck I wanted to eat at was closed. Saw that this business was black owned & serving up some classics so I decided to give it a try. Mind you no seating is available because of COVID. Since I was in the area I decided to pop in and place and order, my mistake as they were getting phone orders every other second. I placed my order and was told it would be 30mins which I wasn't pleased about but from the amount these guys were hustling around I could tell they were BUSY. I order fried chicken, mac and cheese, and collard greens, which were phenomenal. That fried chicken was some of the best I've ever had. Very juicy chicken, fried and seasoned so well, I'd go back for the chicken alone. The sides were nothing to pass up either. To me it was as if I stepped into their grandmothers home and was fixed a plate. The food was rocking! The only issue I had was the amount of time it took for the order but again well worth it and most likely will just order ahead next time! Can't wait to go back! read more

Hear me out, I got something to say... I love this place and highly recommend them! I ate there 3 times in one week. There fried food is cooked to order, there portion size is more than fair, establishment is clean (open kitchen) and the owners energy is always high when you arrive! Definitely a good experience from beginning to end! * * Context - I had a gathering a while ago at my house which is not far. In deciding we were hungry my friend found this spot. We took a chance since we really wanted soul food and we were not disappointed. Since, I have been back multiple times. I am always invested in the food and forget to take pics until I am 1/2 done. * * This time I remembered. I ordered fried wings with a side of greens and yams! Wings were crispy and golden, Yams were sweet and the greens were good as well. Their food is not salty at all but seasoned well!!!! read more

Food is amazing. Customer service is amazing! Great family owned establishment. I always get the sweet heat shrimp and it never disappoints

Wheww I need to take a breather just to type. This is my first time at this establishment. I contacted them via telephone and was met with a warm excited spirit. I wasn't sure what to get except "Chicken", however I was helped with my decision. As you see, you get a big serving of food and it is delicious, hot and fresh!! When entering the establishment, I was greeted with same warm spirit as over the telephone. Also try the garlic fries, really good with the home made sauce !! I'd urge anyone to try this establishment and you won't be disappointed. I'm funny about food, wasting my money and customer service so this is a win/win!! I'm very pleased read more

FEED YA SOUL - Sticky wings, Mac n cheese and yams. - Soul Food Near Me - AVENEL, New Jersey

An awesome family owned business, cooking ethnic soul food dishes (the only one in in the area) that opened in Rahway/Woodbridge during the beginning of the pandemic and survived!! Love the customer service period,. A real greeting, conversation, attentive to your order and preferences! They remember their customers! There is seating available for eating in (could stand for decor of fake plants or potted green plants). I love the wooden tables that have feed ya soul, lightly burned engraved into the centers. Large wall chalkboard as soon as you walk in have a listing of dishes I take to be most sought after! Or daily choice! I have yet to try the catfish dish only because I'm not fond of catfish! The waffle and chicken is good , a lot of people complain of being wing pieces, works for me because I don't want the messiness of tearing wings apart ! Their string beans are tasty. The fried fish sandwich, is one of my favorites, along with the sticky wings ( which they have their own made up sauces by the son Aaron ) . And the sweet potatoes melt in your mouth. I meant to take picture but each time I remember only after I'm almost finish. Call for pickups are offered, they are not on Uber Eats ,I neglected to ask if they deliver! Wish they the best! read more

The food was absolutely delicious. The aroma before your enter the restaurant validates how good the food taste. Service of excellence. Cook to order, nice and hot,. Owner was very accommodating.

Sorry no pics, we immediately started eating because it looked and smelled way to go.. Wish this business all the success. Ladies from the BX. read more

Today my daughter my sisters and I tried this restaurant for the first time. Let me first say the owners are so pleasant. I love this black owned family business. So let's get to the food I had Whiting fish platter with cabbage and green beans, I loved the green beans, cabbage was just okay to me could've used some more seasoning but my sister enjoyed hers. The Rasta pasta was excellent, sticky wings sticky as ordered, yams was delicious. We also had a teaser, shrimp with the homemade FDA approved garlic parm sauce...absolutely delicious f read more

There's no other place I can think of is more appropriately named than "Feed Ya Soul," because that's what Barry & his son Aaron and their family do every time I come through! I legit had to ween my visits down from 2-3 times a week to once every other week (my stomach, waistband & diabetes thank me for that)! I've been a loyal customer for the past three years. I stuck with them through the pandemic, and I will be having "my soul fed" for as long as I'm a Woodbridge resident! read more
