Theres nothing like some good home cooked southern food! Continuing with the ambiance the atmosphere was something I didn't know I needed as well. It felt almost like home, so clean with a refreshing and smooth vibe. Not to mention the art that decorated the walls, and the track list, whoo we ended our lunch to some Stevie Wonder! And the service! Oh goodness I wish I could remember my servers name for the life of me, but she was a brown skinned women with golden locs and glasses and she was just amazing! She actually pointed me in the direction of the lamb chops and she made great conversation without hovering over the table at the same time! Ugh it's nothing like soul food or black owned, I plan on returning next Sunday and plan to frequent that location much more after that! Thank you Soul 2 Go!

The blackened salmon pasta (reminds me of Cajun pasta) and the honey soul with fried chicken and fried corn cornbread with honey...It was so delicious. The order was ready pretty quickly when I got there. You can also order from a kiosk when you walk in the door, but I did an online order from the local food app before going over there. It looks like a nice casual environment with bar seating available. Kind of small - It was very busy.

I looked at the steam table, and not sure what to get because I tire of spending my money and being disappointed. I ordered something that I thought would be a safe-bet...I ordered 4 fried wings, Mac and cheese, and candied yams. I started tasting my food when I got in the car. The wings were perfectly cooked -- juicy and tender. The Mac and cheese had a decent amount of cheese, not like some places that cover their Mac and cheese with some type of Velveeta sauce. I would have eaten all of my wings in the car, but I needed some hot sauce, which surprisingly the restaurant did not have. I finished my meal when I got home. The yams were delicious...not overly sweet. I will say that the wings and Mac and cheese could have used a little more seasoning, but that was okay...there are many times where I went to a soul food restaurant and had to toss food because it was way too salty. I would rather my food to be under seasoned than over seasoned. You can always add, but you can't take it away. I will definitely return, and try something else on the menu, and hopefully not be disappointed.

First, if you're not from Columbus (like us), the place is inside the International Marketplace…read more Now with the housekeeping out of the way, let's get to the goody ... After a really rough day on the lanes, we were hongry (yes, I spelled that correctly) and wanted soul food. The soul food place we'd visited the last time we were in Columbus closes at 6pm. It's a little after 7. So trusting my fellow Yelpers, I searched out soul food and Kays was very near our hotel. They, the Yelpers, as usual, got it right. Those of you who know us, know that we go in hard. Especially when the place has good customer service reviews. Our fellow Yelpers did not lie. The place is a kitchen staff by Kay herself and a young lady whom I'm assuming is her daughter? Nonetheless, her booming personality and jovial demeanor made us not care about what was cooking in her kitchen! We wanted it. The hand written flipboard menu was nothing less than charming. Made me feel like I was at grandma's where she put a note on the refrigerator saying this is what's for dinner. Don't spoil your appetite before then. Not an expansive daily special menu, which was cool, because when you haven't eaten since breakfast, you tend to go hog wild at the mere thought of food, and typically can't settle on anything. Pimp had pork chops, rice and gravy, and greens. I had the catfish and macaroni and cheese. When I say the silence was palpable when Pimp started chomping that chop ... He completely left the building. Him, pork chops, rice and gravy were in a different ethosphere. He did wish there was more gravy though. Greens were tender and well seasoned. My catfish was rolled with hands that had done family reunion fish frys for a long time. Well seasoned, coated and fried to perfection. The macaroni and cheese had the creamy, stringiness that you like to play with before you fly it into your mouth. It definitely had personality. But the coup de grace was indeed the service. I am completely angry, because we need to eat in this woman's kitchen at least once a month, and Columbus is 3 1/2 hours away from Detroit! The Saraga International Market is interesting in and of itself, but I'll post a different review on that. Kudos Ms. Kay. We're looking forward to them oxtails on our way home tomorrow and to many visits in the future.

I have to admit that ever since moving to Columbus 6 years ago, I've felt that great soul food is hard to come by here, but hers is definitely the exception! Came on a Sunday afternoon and tried the stuffed salmon combo. You are allowed to pick how many sides you want, and the price increases accordingly. I opted for mac n cheese and collard greens, and the greens were some of the best I've ever tried at a restaurant. Also was given a huge portion well worth the price. She was kind enough to let me sample her turkey and dressing which were delicious too. I'll definitely be back!

Turn in at the light, and be careful about which driveway you pick- I think it's the second driveway, near a daycare, and it winds around back to the restaurant. You can see the place from James. Pretty busy at lunchtime, a few dine in and some carryout. Served cafeteria style, so you can see what you want, and drool over it. Well, there's a clear shield, but you know what I mean. I got smothered pork chops, since I hadn't had them forever. Meaty, tender, covered in gravy and onions. So so good, especially as comfort food on a cold day. You can also get them fried. Plenty of other things on the menu looked good. And all of the sides sounded good. I ended up getting one that was a mix of cabbage and greens, instead of getting the two separately, so that gave me space for another side. I went with mac & cheese. Sweetie's mom's mac is the best in the world. I'm not kidding. This is not quite that good, but is a very good homemade version, loaded with cheese, and baked in a big pan. Service was excellent. Prices are a bit steep, but good for the quantity and quality. Canned pop. Cheap plasticware. I was leery, but the pork chops were so tender that even a plastic knife pulled them apart easily. Hardly needed it. The place is not fancy inside. Old, but clean, a few booths and tables. You're there for the food, not the decor. Or, come in and pick it up and take it home. And have better silverware... I will definitely be back. I loved what I got, and was enticed by some of the other things.

We do not have too many true soul food options in Columbus and I believe based on the smells from the kitchen.... Peggy's will hit it out of the park. Unfortunately, I came in just as they were setting up to open for the day and walked in an hour early before they opened to the public. Staff was welcoming. Owner let me walk about and take it all in. Very friendly group of people. I enjoyed how they spoke to each other with respect and joy and there was a playfulness in their tone that makes me certain when you eat here... you will not just get good food but will have a good time. Restaurant was spotless. It has a warm feel and you get a sense that they are are all about family and friends and making people feel seen and welcomed. It has a great vibe. Oh.... Aroma from kitchen was enticing me to stay and order one of everything. They have a nice stage blended into the dining area that they use during the evenings as the restaurant features DJs and bands during the night. I am coming back today to try the lunch menu as they were not open until 11 am and will update later tonight. Very excited to welcome Peggy's to the neighborhood. Come down to this new spot and experience what soul food is all about.aq Q

Honestly, I thought this place was out of business -- it's closed on Mondays, and I'm usually in the area on Mondays ;-) Note - this is take away only, but they do have a drive through.
