Didn't know this location was here until we stumbled upon it! Very pleased with the aesthetic, the food, the drinks, and the service. We ordered the Sol Sunrise and the Berry Delish - Both were not only good but strong as well. Our waitress was polite and offered some good recommendations on what to get. We ended up getting the Salmon and Waffles w/ "Homestyle Fries" (roasted potatoes). The Salmon was perfectly seasoned with a nice crunch to it. The waffle was fine - Didn't look or taste like a fresh waffle but again it was fine. Those potatoes??? 10/10 - I could've just gotten those and would've been content since I'm an avid potato lover! Also, got the Sol All Star Breakfast. Waffle, Eggs, Turkey Bacon, and "Homestyle Fries." Everything was cooked as expected and taste was good. It's a nice brunch spot right at the boardwalk. Great location placement for any type of group. read more

Walked into Sol'Delish with some friends on a Thursday night around 6:20. We were in the University City area for a conference and walked over to this shopping center from our hotel. The restaurant was busy but not overly so. They were able to seat us right away. There were lots of delicious items on the menu. My friends all got the salmon (two grilled and one fried). I got the crabcake because I just have to be different, I guess. They brought out cornbread muffins with honey butter that were delicious. They were really soft and cake-like and the honey butter topping was awesome. Two of us got side salads for our side and they came out with the meal, which isn't my preference but the food came out quickly any way so it was fine. The side salads were MASSIVE. Lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and onions (removed from mine) in a huge bowl. Probably could have been a meal to itself. The food came out and there was some confusion on sides that were mismatched and all of the salmons were grilled (instead of the one fried). Everyone really enjoyed their meal. I kinda wish I had gotten the salmon because it looked amazing and really well seasoned. The crab cake I had was good too. I think it had their Garlic Parmesan Cream sauce on top. The crab cake was big and had plenty of crab. I think I would have preferred a traditional tartar sauce on the side. I got their mac and cheese for my other side. It was super creamy and cheesy. It was also topped with the garlic parmesan cream sauce. Very tasty. Service was good. Not ton of visits to the table but I don't think we ever wanted for anything. My total with tip was about $40 and I think it was worth it for all the food I got. Would be a fun place to return too! Good job, Sol'Delish! read more

This was my time supporting this establishment. There was bit of a delay because there was an event going on. The food was very good. We had Paradise waiting on us long with a young lady shadowing Paradise. Awesome wait staff! The ambience was nice with black art throughout the restuarant. There was a DJ playing music. I will definitely be back. The food took to long. It was a table of four and one waited an extra ten minutes when it was a duplicate of another person's dish- chicken and waffle read more

Excellent first time dining experience here. Lovely friendly staff and service. A true treasure and a great dinner find. Came here for a farewell dinner to my time in Charlotte and what a way to end my dining story here. The gin and soda drink was amazing. My chicken wasn't plain. It was flavorful and not boring. The collards I gave them a try just too salty for me. And the fries just yum. read more

I came here at 9:05pm on a Saturday night with my friend. The first observation was that the interior is small. Our Waitress was Lee. We ordered "berry blast" and "giving me the blues" at 9:08pm. We ordered food at 9:12pm. We got salmon bites for appetizer. My friend got 2 bakes turkey wings with rice and seafood Mac. I got the 3 friend wings. Berry blast was delicious! I think our waitress made our drinks. 9:24pm is when salmon bites arrived. Food came at 9:39pm. We also got corn bread. The Food was DELICIOUS and fresh! Music was great! My friend was visiting from out of state and I was visiting from another part of NC. We were in the area for pride events. We both desire to return! We didn't have a single complaint regarding the food. Highly recommend! Also, I believe someone told me that they were moving locations to a bigger spot, which would be great! read more

Met a few friends for Saturday brunch. The line was long when I walked through the door. So I was very excited with anticipation of dining here thinking it must be great. The dining room was okay. Some tables were way too close together and the staff had to bump you or you had to move your chair for others to get out of their seating. I ordered the grits and salmon. The grits and salmon lacked flavor. I had to track down a salt and pepper shaker to make them worthy of eating. The strawberry lemon drop cocktail was amazing a nice balance of fruit and sweetness. The server admitted lunch and dinner was better. If I try again, it will be for dinner. Service was okay. Had to really flag them down if you needed anything else . read more

Warning: you will wait one hour on your food. I had to talk my husband off the ledge of complaining about the wait. What made it worse, the couple seated next to us, that arrived later than the 2 of us, got waited on BEFORE US. It took 20 min. for someone to even come over to take our order. Not cool. Very unorganized. However, it was a Friday night at 8:30pm. Our waitress was really nice... even though slow. We received complimentary corn bread, but we had to remind her to serve it after waiting a really long time. If you can deal with the hunger, the food is good. The flounder was breaded and fried absolutely perfectly. Green beans, mixed veggies, and broccoli were very good. Corn bread was from a box and drizzled with honey... ok for free. The lobster and shrimp mac and cheese was good but greasy. Personally, I wouldn't get it again, but my hubby liked it. A few folks came to check on us after we received our food asking if all was ok. I assume one was a manager, one seemed to be the kitchen manager. The floor and lighting are swanky. There were folks with children. However, most tables were adults. There are 2 bars, one upstairs and one downstairs. Both were full. The restaurant was really busy. read more

We were super excited to try this, but the experience was not good at all. Our server was serving like he had a chip on his shoulder and never checked on us. The shrimp and grits were sooooo mid omg. The seafood omelette was not an omelette it was like a crepe with seafood on top. Oh and they brought our mimosa orange juice in a regular glass, causing us to spill it on the table. Lol. Crazy. Everybody talks about the dinner being good here I would not recommend for brunch. I hate to leave this review but I was so disappointed :( read more

I arrived with the intention of dining and departed without a satisfactory meal. My initial plan was to order the vegetable rice and salmon; however, due to an onion allergy and the information that all seasoned items contained onions, I opted for yams and macaroni and cheese. The yams were heavily coated in molasses and sugar, and the macaroni and cheese had an unappealing garlic flavor. Additionally, the Arnold Palmer I ordered tasted predominantly of lemonade. When the waitress inquired if I desired a to-go box, I expressed my dissatisfaction with the meal, to which she responded that I might not appreciate good food. I found this comment amusing. Despite the restaurant being busy, other patrons in our vicinity were also expressing complaints. We experienced a delay in receiving silverware and beverages, requiring a significant wait before these items were provided. Very unhappy with service and food. read more

Decided to give Sol'Delish a second chance because I always hear such great things about the food, and though my initial experience with them was TERRIBLE, I believe in second chances!! I'm delighted that I made the decision to stop in for lunch and give them a try, because the food was worth it. We went to their new location on the boardwalk, and it's much larger than their old location, we opted to sit outside since it was such a beautiful day, and the outdoor seating was such a vibe! I ordered the fried flounder with Mac n cheese, mixed greens, and yams! The fish was seasoned and fried to perfection! Chef's kiss!! You get two sizable fish filets with your order, the sides are kind of small but my meal was very filling! The meal comes with two sides and they upcharge on certain sides. The Mac n cheese was good, the greens were very vinegar forward, and the yams tasted like they had been refrigerated and reheated in the microwave. But again, the star of the show was definitely the fish, it was hot and freshly fried, great crunch to it and seasoned with love!! read more

I typically give places at least two attempts before writing a review especially when they are in my neighborhood. It took two hours to even eat here. One hour wait before sitting and another hour to order and get food. At one point glass scattered and shards flew onto our table. The food came out hot but way after people who were seated after us got their food. We didn't even get drinks until the food came out. The server did apologize and try to explain and the manager did comp us a percentage on the meal. Sadly I knew it was going to be like this when I walked in. It would be great if they had a staff meeting on how they can help each other stay organized and turn over tables quickly. read more

Sol Delish was amazing and our waitress Shannon was a 10/10. We had a table for 7 for my husband's birthday. We were in and out quickly. Drinks immediately came out and so did the food. Not to mention the ladies at the door who seated us was very pleasant. All of the food and drinks were good. I got the raspberry lemon drop and my sister got the mango lemon drop. Both very delicious. We shared a lamb chop plate. Our whole party enjoyed and the food was plentiful! Overall I would return! read more

Everything that I tasted was great and my 81-year-old uncle enjoyed his fried chicken wings, collard greens and macaroni and cheese as well. I would definitely recommend this place as an authentic soul food restaurant. Just remember, they have two locations within a three minute radius of one another. The location closest to the Boardwalk is dine in only and the other Location NEAR Insomnia cookies is to-go food only. As a southern cook myself, I would definitely, definitely recommend this restaurant!. The service at this location was also fast and the lady at the counter was very pleasant. Also, The dine in location has a beautiful ambience for those looking to eat inside. read more

Visiting the Charlotte area and looked on TikTok and this place popped up. It looked soo good so I had to come try. We were quoted and our wait and we went 10 mins up the street and on the way back for a text our table was ready. That was a pleasant surprise. I got the fried chicken and my sister got the turkey wings. We both said our food was really good! I would recommend this place. read more

Seen this place on TikTok and couldn't wait to see if it was great. We went to the take out spot first not realizing there are two locations. One is for take out and the other is for seated customers. The inside is cute and I love the art on the wall! The bar stools are very close to each other seem a little cramped. The menu is simple and there is something on there for everyone. We had the fried wings, baked turkey legs, greens, yams and Mac and cheese. The cornbread is jiffy, the yams were canned and the Mac and cheese was watery. Not sure if we will return. read more

The service was decent. The salmon was delicious and dare I say that mac & cheese, almost as good as my own mother's .

The Food is never an issue! BUT.... As a paying customer and a strong supporter of Black-owned businesses, I was very disappointed by my recent experience at your takeout location. I spent approximately $50 on a meal for myself and my daughter, who was ill at the time and urgently needed to use the restroom. We were denied access despite being customers, leaving us to go door-to-door in the plaza seeking help. I understand that businesses must maintain policies regarding restroom use. However, situations involving children require compassion and flexibility. This experience was stressful, embarrassing, and disheartening. I value supporting local Black-owned establishments and hope policies can be reconsidered so customers especially families are treated with understanding in urgent situations. Thank you for your time. read more

Came here on a Saturday around 3 they were packed for lunch so I had to come back for dinner time about 4:30pm this was my first time here and I loved these aesthetics also black owned. Once I was seated I was greeted immediately and sat customer service was so great and the food so bomb. I got the Mac and cheese, fried salmon and everything greens(collard and kale) first time having fried salmon and I do not regret this being my first time trying it here! I will definitely be coming back for brunch and dinner. Maybe it's just me but I did think $5 for a strawberry lemonade was a bit crazy other than that it was amazing experience. read more

I came on a tuesday and grabbed a seat at the bar. ( They have two!) De'Narius was my bartender and he asked for my name and introduced himself. He provided great conversation and recommendations! I ordered the lamb chops (7/10) greens (10/10) and the mac n cheese (10/10) and 1 chicken wing, i had to try it! (10/10). The land shops had a slight burnt taste to them like maybe the grill could've been cleaned off better before cooking them but they were prepared decently. I also ordered a Don Julio shot chill and a sol'drop which is basically their version of a lemon drop and it has raspberry purée in it. It was tasty. I would give it a six out of 10. The food came out within about 15 to 20 minutes and everything was prepared very well. It's a lot bigger space I hear then their old space so definitely come and try them out. Really good soul food. read more

OMG, where do I start? I won't say when the best time to come, because it would be crowded! Y'all would put in PTO so you could come during the week! The greeter/hostest was great. Our server Tela (pronounced Taylor) was attentive explained the menu, and was very apologetic when they didn't have a desired item. The food was amazing. Everyone complimented on ontheir items. I got turkey wings with BBQ sauce. For Forme the sauce was just sauce, but the turkey was awesome. Wish gravy was an option. The yams mac and cheese yummmy. The decor was nice and the paintings perfect. We will be back. You WILL have a long wait on the week ends. read more

Being a creature of habit I am often drawn to my favorite comfort foods. New can be exciting and fun but have to show love to our local businesses and support them. They need support and patronage more than the larger chain restaurants. I have enjoyed every meal whether in person dine in or take out. Food is nicely seasoned and hot. Had fried flounder, seafood mac n cheese that was delicious. Do check them out. read more

Sol'Delish - Crab and shrimp omelette with grits - Soul Food Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Every time I visit the Sol'Delish the service is top tier! I've never had an unpleasant experience there.

This is for the JW Clay new location Reservations are not available, but you can book a table in advance and we had to show up in person to reserve one. When we arrived, there was a 1-2 hour wait, so we decided to sit at the bar -- which honestly was a little lowkey ghetto vibe. The only positive part of the night was our bartender; she was nice and tried her best despite everything going on. Unfortunately, the food took almost two hours to come out. I ordered the Soul Pasta with a side of veggies and asked for extra veggies, but there were hardly any vegetables in the dish, and I never got the extra portion I requested. My partner ordered the crab cake with yams and mac & cheese -- her food came out cold. When we mentioned it, they offered to reheat the mac & cheese and then said they were out of yams. To top it off, when ordering drinks, the bartender asked if we minded cherries because she wanted to reuse the same shaker that had just been used to make an Old Fashioned to make our Lemon Drop. At that point, we just asked for the check and a to-go box for my food. Overall, I'd rate this experience a 1/10. I usually enjoy their food and often order takeout, but dining in this time was dreadful. SN my partner had to go to Dave's to eat because by this time it was 9:30 p.m. By far the worst and uncouth experience. read more

This is for the new location. The person at the door and hostesses were very friendly. We were there for Sunday brunch and it was an hour and a half wait which I expected since the night before was over two hour wait which made us decide to come back. We had a party of 6 and chose to sit at separate tables next to each other on the patio behind the valet parking check in to cut down on the wait. It was a beautiful day with a nice breeze. Our waitress was awesome. Although the wait was long she kept checking to make sure we were good. The brunch menu was delicious! If people have to wait, bring out good food and definitely delivered on that. This location hasn't been open long and they are still figuring out the logistics so expect a long wait but you will get good food at least from my experience. There's shops and an area to walk and occupy your wait time. If you're in a rush or don't like waiting, get take out or choose a different place.

Sol'Delish - Turkey Wings, Macaroni and Cheese, Sweet Potatoes - Soul Food Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

My Family members went to the Sol Delish restaurant tonight for the first time. I looked at the online menu and asked My sister to bring Me a ToGo order. I called the restaurant several times to ask questions and place a ToGo order. I could not get an answer. So, I sent the order to My sister to place the order and bring it to Me. I ordered: Baked Garlic Parmesean Wings Meal with Yellow Rice and Candied Yams $17.50(Online Menu Price) I asked for All FLATS and Extra Garlic Parm Cream CornBread Sweet Potato Pound Cake $5.50(Online Menu Price) As they were leaving, My sister advised My bill was $45.00!!!! I questioned WHY and she said I was charged a 20% Gratuity Fee because they were a 10 person group. Even with that, the cost seemed too HIGH. I asked did she get a receipt and she said the server did not give her one. She just did a tap payment. I asked her to cancel the order. She went back inside to return the food. They would not take it back. She asked for a receipt and had to wait for a manager to get one. The receipt showed two teas that were not ordered by Me that cost $8.00 total and the Gratuity was $7.05. So, I was charged $15.00 extra and never stepped foot into the establishment. When My sister questioned WHY I was being charged the Gratuity, she was told because the ToGo order was placed by someone with a Large Party. She was told I should have called it in. I advised I called several times and got NO ANSWER and that is why I asked her to place the order for Me. Now, to get to the food. I ordered the wings based on the picture I saw online with Parm Cream on them. It was the same for the Candied Yams. Both were a disappointment. The chicken had no Garlic Parmesean Cream. The Yams and Rice were both dry. Plus, the overall presentation was subpar. The CornBread was decent. However, the Sweet Potato PoundCake was a 5/5. The cake is why I rate this experience a 2. I do not see myself patronizing this establishment again. read more

We visited Sol'Delish for lunch on Juneteenth (June 19) and, despite a few hiccups, had a memorable experience thanks to the incredible food. We arrived around 12:47 PM and were surprised to find a long wait--even though there was no special event happening at the time. The restaurant is very small, and seating is limited, so we ended up waiting about an hour to be seated. That was the biggest downside to our visit. Once inside, we were initially seated at a table near the front. However, shortly after sitting down, we were asked to move to a booth to accommodate a larger party. While the staff was polite, it felt a bit disruptive, especially after waiting so long. Now onto the best part--THE FOOD. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. Here's what we had: Fried Chicken Wings, Yellow Rice, and Collard Greens The chicken was crispy, perfectly seasoned, and juicy inside. The rice was flavorful, and the collards were cooked just right--not too bitter, with great seasoning. Smothered Pork Chops, Collard Greens, and Baked Macaroni & Cheese These pork chops were NEXT LEVEL. Tender and covered in a creamy, savory gravy. The mac & cheese? Baked to golden perfection, cheesy with just the right texture. The collards were a repeat win. Drinks We also had two cocktails (seen in the photos) that were fruity, refreshing, and came with sugared rims and lemon garnishes. They were a fun and tasty addition to our meal. Final Thoughts If you're visiting Sol'Delish, be prepared to wait--but the food will absolutely be worth it. The space is tight and may require some flexibility with seating. But if you're after top-tier Southern comfort food with soul, this is your spot. Pro Tip: Try to come early or during off-peak hours, and be patient--it's a small team making big flavors. Would I return? Absolutely. Just with a little more time and patience next time. read more

A great black own business with good food & amazing service. It truly was a great dining experience. Went there for lunch after hearing nothing but positive recommendations. They greet you with a warm welcome as soon as you walk through the door. Our server was a lovely young lady who was very tentative & knowledgeable about the items on the menu. I got the wing entree with broccoli and the house mac n cheese. The whole wings was nice size & fried to protection. We had cat fish bites as an appetizer which were good as well! I absolutely would come back. read more

I just finished a phenomenal brunch Sol Delish 9211-1 Tyron Street in Charlotte. This was quite refreshing because, it has been challenging to find a great restaurant with good food, good service and a good atmosphere, but I was able to find all three at Sol Delish. Our waitress/bartender was Mickey and she gave impeccable service with a smile! My sis, and I both ordered scrambled eggs with kale and collards, a ribeye steak, a side of grits with cheese, salmon and a flight of mimosas. The eggs were great, the grits were amazing, the fried salmon was seasoned perfectly with a nice crust on it, and the steak was perfectly cooked to order. Now to be totally transparent, there was a wait time to get into this location because it's rather small but "News Flash" the owner Bryce has already put a plan in motion to open up a new location that seats 150 people right near the boardwalk in Charlotte (8927 JM Keynes Dr Charlotte Suite 100). The grand opening is going to be 9/27/25. Now we will have breathtaking views with our phenomenal Breakfast! Oh yes, one more newsflash. The location on Tryon is still going to be open, but they are going to be solely a takeout location for To-Go orders. So we'll have the best of both world grabbing & go or sit down and chill at Sol Delish. read more

Good southern cooking and hospitality! I enjoyed visiting Sol'Delish for brunch. I went on a Saturday afternoon 20 to 30 minutes after opening. The inside is quite small so there was already a wait but they did have a nice outdoor patio with heaters. The heaters warmed the space nicely as it was February and I didn't get cold. It was also a fairly nice day out. I ordered the mimosa flight which was good. The lavender was a favorite. I did think the mimosas could have been a little colder temperature wise. I ordered the fish and grits meal. It was good and seasoned well. I would return in the future ! read more

Rating truly because they stated that they have a dress code, but it's not on the website. Also, the door man was wearing light colored jeans. In my opinion if you are going to enforce dress code, your staff should dress the part as well. I had a white tank top, but another woman was wearing white tank and the men were wearing white t shirts. So the dress code was very inconsistent, maybe state that the dress code is business casual perhaps ? read more
