This is the second soul food spot I've tried recently, and hands down, Soul City was the better of…read morethe two. 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.

The most I've paid for a meal is $7, but of course that can go up or down depending on how much you order. I highly recommend the fried chicken here. Very moist, seasoned, crispy and far from oily! The veggies are typically seasonal. Spinach here is pretty great though. Other items you can find here are meatloaf, mac and cheese, hot wings, and various rice. For me it's conveniently located, and has become sort of my go to place. They also provide catering services. Highly recommended!

Although they don't add acv to their greens, I found the greens to be flavorful. I also ordered a slice of pineapple coconut cake. I will come here again and the service was out standing.

Everything came up to $16.88. The place is bright and clean. Food was good and seasoned well. My gripes are they served a person with no mask on. Had I not come so far I would have turned around. Also, I only got 1 one part of the wing with my dinner. I feel like the whole wing should be included which I expressed. Other than that I had previously spoken with one of the owners (wife) telling her my intentions to visit and she was really sweet and inviting. I will be back to try more items and hopefully add a star! Sorry forgot the menu pic.

THIS REVIEW IS SOLELY FOR THE UBER EATS DELIVERY PORTION**7/24…read more I ordered a large amount of fish and French fries. I know you are reading to find how the fish was, because the reviews on Maxine's on the Boulevard have really good ratings. Well, I can't tell you how the fish and fries were, because I used the Uber Eats app to order my food and I never received the food, even though the order shows complete in the app. I gave specific instructions and I even provided my telephone number so that the driver could call if he had problems, because delivery drivers will drop your food anywhere, IN MY EXPERIENCE! I gave a 20% tip as well. I called Maxine's on the Boulevard, and they say the order is out, if you have a problem call Uber Eats. I went downstairs to the salon, and they did not receive an order. One worker said that the guy was waiting for 14 minutes and no one showed up. Let me tell why the driver waited, he never followed the instructions. The delivery was a standard delivery because when you pay more the delivery doesn't arrive any faster. The order was made at 3:18 and with a 40-minute delivery window or at 4:00 pm. The app showed an ETA of 4pm. The driver arrives early and stood outside, not bothering to call the number provided. I will go as far as to say, maybe I did not hear the new delivery window alert. Why did he stand at the salon and not come to the apartment build? I remember that I used to delivery Uber Eats and I went to Red Lobster, delivered the food, told the customer to check the order before I leave. There was a problem. I drove back to Red Lobster to retrieve the missing lobster tail. Red Lobster said that they were closed, long story short, I drove back to the customer, lobster tail in-tow. I was not going to leave without the customer's missing item. I was representing a company, so I did what I had to do to make sure that the customer was satisfied. Not bragging but you don't get that service nowadays, some workers are unconcerned whether you get what you pay for or not. Do you know that I was salivating for this delicious fish and savory French fries, Crinkled cut at that! Frish on a Friday, you can't go wrong unless you do as I did and use Uber Eats. I am too hangry at the moment... Inspire more, Yelp more!
