My favorite was the Rasta pasta, I really wish I bought an order of it too. The wings were so crispy and that honey bbq sauce was top tier. The fried shrimp was lightly battered and the coating had so much flavor. The shrimps were HUGE!!! The honey butter corn bread was so light and airy but warm. I had to split my meal in half because I was full to the brim and needed a nice little nap after. Yes the drive is far out for me (drove almost 2 hours to try this spot from sunset park Brooklyn) but it's really worth it. The wait times are long but I ordered ahead on uber eats for pick up. It said it was about 45 mins for my order to be ready. The food is definitely fresh and hot!!!

I stopped into this cozy spot after passing it many times on the highway and finally decided to…read moregive it a try. The restaurant itself has a warm, inviting feel. The staff were friendly and attentive, and I had the chance to meet the owner, Bobby, who was very approachable and took the time to introduce himself. My interactions him and his team I would rate 5-stars. I value supporting Black-owned businesses, which made the visit even more meaningful. One piece of constructive feedback: I ordered fried whiting, and the fish I received did not appear to be whiting. The fish was okay overall, but I would have appreciated being informed if it was unavailable so I could have chosen something else. I'm currently avoiding red meat, chicken, and pork and eating fish only during this Lenten season, so I'm especially particular about my food orders. Because of that, not receiving what I requested was disappointing. For that reason alone, I'd rate the food 3 stars. Because the overall experience was pleasant, I will give a 4 star rating--as I do plan to return to explore other items on the menu. I might order the whiting again, but will confirm the order before leaving and will return to sample more of the menu, especially since my parents love barbecue.

The French toast was burnt, when asked how was my meal , I told the waitress my French toast was burnt, flat and tasteless. She told the cook, her response was " I didn't have the bread I normally use so, I used regular bread and I couldn't do anything about it (burnt). " ARE YOU KIDDING ME, you send out burnt flat Wonder Bread and I should be ok with that. Didn't ask if I wanted something different or adjust the bill or tell me you didn't have French toast. Any of that would have sufficed. I try to support but some make it really difficult. Oh, the shrimp and grits were good, that's what the two stars are for. DO BETTER PLEASE

The mac & cheese and candied yams were a perfect combination -- absolutely delicious together! It was also my first time trying collard greens, and I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty they were. Everything I tried was so good! I also have to give a special shout-out to Mr. Randy! He was incredibly helpful, friendly, and patient when helping me decide what to order. His recommendations made the experience even more enjoyable, and great customer service like that really makes a difference! Between the delicious food, Mr. Randy's outstanding customer service, and the great location, Village BBQ definitely left a lasting impression on me. I truly enjoyed my experience and would highly recommend giving them a try. I'm already looking forward to coming back!

The turkey wings were dry but the flavor was good. My family wants to go back and try other items off the menu. Wishing Village BBQ continued success!!

They were extra crispy on the outside and had great flavor. I had the bbq chicken which was good, and tender, the skin wasn't very crispy tho and I ended up taking it off which left me w/o much bbq sauce for the chicken meat. The other two people enjoyed their fried chicken. The waffle probably could've been cooked w bit longer. (He went w the traditional buttermilk but there are a few flavors you can choose from). There was so much food that we each had leftovers! Another table asked for the music to be turned down. Overall, it was good and I'd come back.

Once seated and prior to ordering, we received a lovely basket of sweet potato muffins and a buttermilk biscuit drizzled with honey. They were absolutely delicious! The very friendly chef came to our table to welcome us, and talk about these special muffins. We were also warmly greeted by the restaurant manager. As for our meal, we had 2 orders of the chicken and waffles, collard greens, and macaroni and cheese. The chicken was hot, crispy, and perfectly seasoned, and the waffles were light and fluffy. The macaroni and cheese was also delicious, but the greens were very heavily salted. Overall, the portions were generous. As for the live entertainment, it perhaps begins later in the afternoon, maybe after 2pm? Our reservation was at 1pm, and the guitarist arrived just as we were finishing our meal. My one critique is the reservation process. The only take reservations by phone, and during the limited hours that they are open. The person with whom I made my reservation made some errors. Fortunately, another staff member contacted me twice the day prior to my reservation to clarify the time and date. Having the ability to use an online reservation platform would have been easier and more accurate.

I get it, its almost closing time, but a smile goes a long way. The 5 stars is for the owner! When I tell you he is what a small business thrives off of, he should teach many others.

Since it was Sunday they were serving brunch all day, they had options such as waffles, pancakes, chicken, mimosas, Bellinis, tea, coffee and they had some main entrees as well. We didn't wait long for a table once we enter the place was almost packed they do have two floors of seating I'm not sure how the upstairs was but the downstairs was pretty much packed. We were greeted right away byvour server who was very nice. Decided to go with the shrimp and waffles along with the Fried Chicken which comes with two sides and a sweet tea which was pretty good. From the outside it doesn't look like much but it's very big inside and it seems to be a really popular spot in the neighborhood as well. I really enjoyed everything but my favorite had to be that candied yam! Will definitely go back to try their other menu items which is serve only Thursday Friday and Saturday as I really enjoy the food.

I purposely ordered the same exact meal I had at the last place, fried whiting, mac & cheese, and sweet potatoes, so I could really compare, and every single thing was better here. The whiting was crispy, well seasoned and cooked perfectly. The mac & cheese was really good, and the sweet potatoes were on point too. Honestly, the food itself was a 10/10. No complaints there at all. What brought my overall rating down to a 9 was really just the atmosphere. The restaurant is very small, which is fine, but it wasn't the cleanest. There were boxes in the waiting area and quite a few flies flying around, which definitely took away from the experience. The person behind the counter was really nice and polite, so no complaints about the service either. Overall, Soul City gets a 9/10 from me. The food was definitely a 10/10 and much better than the first soul food spot I tried. I'd absolutely go back, I just wish the atmosphere matched how good the food was.
