    Three words: Country; Fried; Chicken. Wow…read more I decided to stop at this little local place while staying in town for the week based on some solid reviews (and the fact that I made some fried chicken of my own for my family last night but didn't really end up getting any before I left). I started out with a 101 Jungle Bird as I'm a rum drinker and liked the idea of a bourbon-forward one instead. I'll say that this was much more fruity than a Jungle Bird and without the bitterness (no Campari). It also didn't taste very strong but it definitely hit me pretty good. Definitely a tasty-but-dangerous one there. For food, I opted for the Country Fried Chicken. What a fantastic choice indeed. The breast was either butterflied or pounded flat but still thick enough to give a good bite. The outside was cooked to absolute perfection with a crunchy texture without being burned or underdone. The inside was tender and juicy. The whole piece was seasoned beautifully and that was even without any of the delicious white gravy. The Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes that accompanied were similarly well done with great flavor. And the cherry on top was that the portion size was PERFECT. Not a ton of carbs and things that left me feeling beyond full or guilty that I had a bunch of leftover food to likely toss. The seat at the bar was a great place to be. A handful of seats staring at nothing but a huge wall of bourbon. To your back are a series of large high tops and, unfortunately for me, on this night were full of a rather loud group. An unintended side effect of the close quarters but I'm sure not a regular thing. The place is otherwise quite cozy and comfortable and in line with the southern cooking motif. My bartender, Mike, was also very friendly and happy to chat a little about my travels and share our regional sports experiences. All in all, absolutely outstanding. Great food, wonderful staff, and an impressive drink selection. I'm looking forward to coming back here again.

    Our server was friendly and efficient and she got all of our orders and checks correct. I'm not…read morecrazy about their style of cooking - Southern, I guess, with lots of deep-fried food but that's me, not the restaurant. Everyone else was ecstatic with their food. I ordered Gumbo and Fried Catfish and Okra and I liked it. Also, their Happy Hour specials are incredible - they're $7 each plus there were two extras that were not even on the menu!

    Came in on a Friday night for an early dinner. We were promptly seated. Our server was a college…read morestudent that recognized my tee shirt (Birds Aren't Real) and commented that he did a research project on the same. Really nice kid. He also helped us with the menu. We both got the fried chicken BLT, the spoon bread and mac & cheese. The spoon bread is simple corn bread, but it was really good. The mac & cheese was homemade and delicious. The sandwiches were outstanding and huge. My daughter and I could have split one between us. Instead, we brought two halves home. Not sure what this place used to be. High ceilings with barn beams and an old style post office mail box layout, like you might see in an old hotel. Regardless, would not hesitate to come back.

    Love this place!…read more Came in here last weekend and sat outside for a warm spring evening. We did make a reservation somewhat last second, but were easily able to get an outdoor table. We actually got to the restaurant a little bit early and they ended up seating us outside, which was perfect. For food, I had the fried chicken sandwich with french fries and mac & cheese. My girlfriend had the chicken sandwich as well, so we each got a different side. The chicken was perfectly cooked without being overly greasy or oily. The french fries were delicious, and the macaroni and cheese was heavenly. Our server was very friendly and intensive to our needs. I felt like our food came out very quickly. Overall great time here and can't wait to come back. Love going to this place in Cincinnati as well, so I was very happy when they opened one up in Columbus.

    Sounded good on a cold day, and I was over this way. I've been meaning to come for a while, but…read moreit's just not on my usual route. 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.

    Starting off with the food, Ive been craving something for a while and I didn't know what exactly…read morebut once my food (lamb chops on mashed potatoes decorated with asparagus, the 1 pound chicken wing meal with the mac and greens as my sides) was placed in front of me and I took that first bite I told my boyfriend that this was exactly what I'd been craving! 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.
