I love the vibe this establishment creates and how caring they are for their customers, not to mention how bomb the food is! I recommend this place to anyone and everyone around Spokane, YOU WILL NOT regret it. No better soul food in spokane, you won't find it !!! read more

Best red beans and rice I've had in a long time, cornbread was excellent as was the service. Chicken legs were huge and came from a tough old rooster, don't recommend. Mom loved the potato salad. Catfish was good. I was impressed by how clean everything was dining room bathroom and kitchen.Very friendly wait staff. Can't wait to go back and check out the gumbo as it's only served two nights a month, ;( read more

Get it, kids. This is the best fried chicken I've had in Spokane; the cornbread is sweet perfection, the red beans are smoky and hammy, and the apple pie? Transcendent. That coupled with their mission statement and I'm a believer! read more

Food was good. Service was excellent. Greens! Yes!! So good! Potato salad an Mac and cheese were pretty good too. Nothing great but good! My only negative critiques are the fact the only fried chicken they offer is legs. Period. No thank you. The ribs were very tasty but so fatty. I actually got a tummy ache. We will be back just try a different entree. read more

I found the menu unappealing. The chicken was overdone and dark from old oil. The catfish sandwich was served in a hamburger bun, no substance to the bun, should have been on a hard roll with more than just a dab of fry sauce, no lettuce no tomato, very boring, the potato salad was out of a tub like Resers. Should have been homemade. And the killer, no collard greens served at lunch. Looking at the table next to me, the person eating the ribs was struggling to get the meat off the bone. The owner needs to travel to New Orleans to see how it should be done. read more

Excellent personal service . Great food and barbecue. Collard greens !!!!!' The owner personally welcomed us there. Best hospitality . read more

This place was off the hook amazing. My wife son and I were looking for a good meal and we were surprised with an amazing meal. Hands-down the best ribs I've ever had. If you love southern cooking soul food here you go! read more

I've probably eaten here 5 times in the short time they have been open. Mr. Brown runs a heck of a team, always polite and friendly. Sandra runs the floor and always is there with a hug. The waitstaff are great, and the cooks wave and say hi every time. The food is DELICIOUS, the chicken is southern fried and bountiful. The ribs are HUGE and tons of flavor. The Catfish is my favorite and just tasty as can be. Every Friday I have my son run down the street for Gumbo or Jumbalaya which they rotate week to week, and that is always great. One of the best things I have noted, and eaten most is the burgers, just a plain old cheeseburger but MAN is it great. We are here to stay and love everything about this little place. It is WELCOME in our community. read more

Three friends and I went there tonight. Such a colorful interior, really good food and good prices. We had ribs, fish, chicken, potato salad, bbq beans, red beans and rice - all of it so good. I heard the cornbread was great too - definitely need to go back and try more of the choices. All of us were happy. The staff is great. read more

Finally had an opportunity to try Fresh Soul last Sat evening. Already sold out of Jambalaya (they need to have an adequate batch made as Gumbo and Jambalaya are Soul food staples and should always be available like the ribs and the chicken). Ribs were excellent and huge (purchased the 1/2 rib rack) ~ excellent, wet ribs. Same with collard greens. Collard greens need to be on the lunch menu as well. Also, black-eyed peas and ocra should be incorporated into the menu. Nice, friendly staff. I've been waiting years for this place to open replacing the Williams Family restaurant. read more

You need to try this fantastic southern food!! Great to have a yummy restaurant that is driven to make a difference in the community.

Finally good BBQ in Spokane! Even better it's a non profit supporting the area youth. read more

See all

I love what they bring to the community. But the food is just mediocre. I really wanted to love it. We waited months for opening. Been twice both times bland. This hurts to write. read more

Hello!!! Absolutely fantastic food!!! I was told about this place and did not believe for a moment that it could be as good as it is here in Spokane. I am a happy girl right now. My husband and I shared ribs, fried chicken, cat fish, greens, bbq beans and potato salad. Can I get an Amen!!! It was all deep down in your Soul Food. My heart is happy. Thanks to the amazing cook and the wonderful staff for a great experience. See you again soon!! I need that gumbo! :-) read more

This place was amazing and Spokane was desperately needing a good southern comfort restaurant. We had the catfish with cornbread and Mac and cheese, and a side of fried green tomatoes. The Mac and cheese was probably the best I've had aside from my grandmothers. It was all so delicious and the owner was so incredibly friendly and we chatting about the right way to fry catfish (obviously cornmeal is the only way). We cannot wait to come back and try more of this amazing food that helps remind me of my southern fried roots. If your soul and belly are hungry I highly recommend eating here! read more

Great ribs. Slow smoked with actual smoke ring on the bones. Potato salad and beans were tasty and the cornbread was fantastic. Only complaint was the fried chicken had great flavor but was cold and a little lamp weary. We will definitely order again minus the chicken for delivery! read more

My in-laws took me to this place while I was in town visiting. I am from the North Carolina so I feel I know a bit about good BBQ. This place ok to be the northwest, so if you looking for good bbq and good people this is the place for you! Ask to talk to Mr. Brown he is the owner and is a great guy! read more

The ribs really bummed me out. They were overcooked, and the bones fell apart in my fingers. When the manager asked me about my meal, I mentioned that they weren't great. I explained why. He looked at me like I had a third eye. I held up a bone from my tray and mashed it like a soggy french fry. A woman in the kitchen hollered, "It musta been in the juice too long." Gross. read more

I don't usually leave reviews for the food I order on Uber Eats but this has to be some of the best food I've had in a long time. The ribs LITERALLY fell off the bone. The beans were spiced perfectly. Just the best food. Hopefully I'll be able to make it in person sometime soon. Keep it up. read more

I wouldn't care who it is menu online says 57 dollars for bucket of chicken how is that possible these people out they mind

Saw the sign and read up on the cause on their website. Really does good in the neighborhood and the food and service are outstanding! Authentic soul food and exceptional service! We will be back again..and again. Come check it out! read more

Seafood gumbo really good. Only available the first Friday of the month, get there early as they will be very busy. I've been there twice now every thing I have tried has been good. read more

Absolutely the best ribs and fries chicken in town. Awesome service and a great place for the community. If you can get there before its gone check out the gumbo on the first friday of every month. Make sure to check these guys out! read more

This place is an absolute delight! I hadn't planned on going here but I drove by, saw fried green tomatoes on the sign outside, and I just had to see how they were. I was not disappointed! The fried green tomatoes were phenomenal - I don't really know where else in the area you can get these, and they did such a good job I will definitely be back. I also got some fried chicken and red beans and rice, both of which were very tasty. I definitely will be back! read more

YUM!!! We stopped here before grocery shopping. This place is super cute and SO GOOD. The ribs were so tasty (loved the sauce). Don't get me started on the SIDES...baked beans were best of my life, greens were perfect garlicky and a little tangy not too greasy, mac and cheese PERFECT southern style, and red beans w rice cooked and seasoned perfectly. The sweet tea was not too sweet, but not too bland. And the prices were just right. Going back no question. Yay Spokane! read more

We stopped in today and was very pleased with both our meals. My friend got the catfish and I got the gumbo. I did taste her catfish and was very impressed. I'm a bit of a foodie and I'm always looking for new places to eat. We will definitely return. Mr. Brown it was very nice to meet you sir. Keep doing what your doing. You're definitely making a difference in this world!! read more

Great food, great spot. Staying in this neighborhood for work in Spokane and found this place. Got a mix plate - fried chicken, hot link, ribs, red beans n rice, tater salad, all great. They didn't offer collards as a normal side, so I got those too. Please let more folks get some greens :) - they were on - flavor, rich, spicy. If anywhere near this place - I'd do it again everytime. read more

We ate there tonight and it was well worth it! The portions are generous. I had the catfish and it was incredible! My husband had the chicken equalky as good. The mission of this business is awesome!!! Very friendly and courteous. I recommend it highly!! We will go often! read more

The food was good, and priced well. I liked their ribs, they were flavorful and cooked great. The fried chicken was delicious, juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The cornbread was amazing, I loved it. My daughter had a catfish sandwich and mac and cheese, and i tried them both and thought it was excellent. Would go again. read more

We had the cringiest experience here today. My partner went in to get our food and came out excited, stating that they gave us free ribs. Which was really cool! So he went back in and gave them an extra $20, and then we found out how they work with local youth, which we loved! As we're pulling away, the owner comes out and stops our car "is that your food?" We were really confused? Yes we hoped it was our food. Then she reached in the car and said "you didn't order ribs, that's ours not yours" granted, I understand being frustrated by her employees giving us the wrong food, but during COVID, I'm pretty sure you shouldn't take food back from customers and then serve it to other customers. Then the cook, I assume the other owner, came out without a mask on. I'm hungry and a tad annoyed, so my partner goes back inside with both of them to get our food and both owners began lacing into the youth for making a mistake?? It was so cringe! You're supposed to lead these youth and help them, not scream at them and threaten to take $$ out of their paychecks because of a mistake? Shit happens, as a business owner, you have to OWN the mistakes, even ones your employees make. I really, truly hope that these youth do not have to continue to be subjected to this treatment. After reading other reviews, apparently this is common here?? What the hell? Even if the food was the best thing I had ever eaten, after seeing how you treated your employees, I'll never come back. Please be kind, it's truly what we all need right now. Especially CHILDREN. read more

My 12 year old, 3 year old and I all came in about an hour before close. There was plenty of seating. A few people came in after we did. We were asked if we were going to dine in or take out. I said we will be dining in... The man then walked away and started to clean up a table. He then walked the people behind me and my kids, to a table. So i asked if we should seat ourselves. He asked if we were dining in and i said yes...again... so he points to a table and we all go and sit down. I had already grabbed a couple menues since it was clear they were not going to be handed to us. Ill admit, i only had 25 bucks to grab a bite, but looking at the menu i knew we would be fine. I ordered a cat fish meal which came with 2 tiny pieces of catfish, 2 little sides (i chose mac n cheese and greens) and i think a soda. Or i paied for a soda which let me tell u they are kinda stingy with the soda too. I askes if it was free refills and the guy said yes. And when we did order our food, i ordered for me and my 12 year old n figured we would all share since my 3 year old has been known to waste food. Now being a server/cashier/bartender in a new restaurant myself, i know how to communicate with customers. So when somebody orders food for everybody but the little kid, i know better than to ask, "well whats the little one gonna eat". And thats exactly what this guy asked me. I wanted to tell him to mind his own business, but i didnt. Anyways, once we got our food, i had to get up and get us some silverware since the table the guy cleaned up was not restocked. He asked if there was anything he could get us n i said' " yeah, can we please get our soda." 5 minuets later, i sent my 12 year old for the soda. My 12 year old comes back about 3 minuets after that with no soda and says that they told him we have to pay for it 1st. so i go up to the counter and ask to PAY for our food and SODA. They guy is holding our soda(tiny cup) and says he was gonna bring it. I paid, we finished our food n then my son went to ask for a refill and the guy says, "Dang boy, how many refills you gonna get?". I got outta there quick cause i didnt want to get mouthy with an old man... The little food we got was good, but the service was shitty. If i eat from there again, ill call it in and take it to go... read more

Today my girlfriend and I stopped by Fresh Soul for the first time after hearing so many positive reviews. I gotta say before I even walked through the door the owner immediately made me feel like he knew me for years making casual jokes encouraging me to come in. I told the man I was gonna find a spot to park and I would be right in. Upon entering I found out that all food is prepped and they sell until they run out of supplies. By 2PM we ordered the last 4 pieces of chicken they had. Now to the part everyone really cares about, THE FOOD. I have to give them credit when it comes to the breading they made for the chicken it was full of flavor unfortunately this did not transfer over to the meat that didn't taste like it had been marinated or seasoned before being coated. My girlfriend however loved it. The macaroni and cheese honestly was subpar and the cornbread was more like a cake if you like it that way. I have to say the best thing I tried today was definitely their potato salad neither me or my girlfriend could come up with a bad thing to say about it and honestly is a strong reason we will be coming back out to try the rest of the menu. I always start with chicken when judging a place. After trying other things on the menu I hope to increase the review Over all I had a great take out experience. read more

Visiting Spokane and tried this restaurant. The food was good. The staff is very friendly and I love the scripture on the wall. I will definitely return when in the area. Got delicious ribs today next time I'm getting a dinner with a variety of food. Thank you for the great food and customer service. read more
