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 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!!

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.

The potato salad was disgusting a total disrespect to the ancestors. It was very creamy, had a lot of what looked like small celery seeds and it smelled sour.

When I called to inquiry, they told me I only needed to provide a deposit. I go to pay the deposit then they tell me I have to pay the amount in full because they needed to buy the fish.

I was so embarrassed. The fish was hard and lacked flavor. What a waste of money! I would never purchase food from this establishment again.

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. He sat down, he engaged, and accommodated us and my late guests. His energy is everything! 10/10 recommend when in NY!!!

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.

Will definitely be coming back.
