    FRIED CHICKEN, Candied Yams, Collard Greens, WHITING, Macaroni and Cheese, Candied Yams
    Jessica F.

    DELICIOUS, clean place & kind service. Some of the most perfect take out I've ever had. I'm from Staten Island and gonna have to come here every time I go to Walmart down the street hahaha. The yams were so perfect and Mac and cheese was UNREAL. Pounds of food, the portions were huge! Plate was overflowing & heavy!!!

    Fried WHITING

    I ordered dinner on GrubHub and my expectations were low. I haven't had great experiences with soul food in Woodbridge. But omgggg this food was sooooo good!! Fish was perfectly seasoned and fried nicely. The yams were the perfect sweetness and the collard greens were perfect...seasoning was great with a good amount of meat!! I can't wait to try other options on their menu!!

    I've been coming here regularly for a month and it is definitely consistent with tasty food and great service. They give big portions of everything. Some of my favorites are the bbq beef ribs, honey wings, smothered turkey chops, Mac n cheese, potatoe salad and whiting fish. Mike is the man.

    I've driven past this place many times and am glad that I stopped at this diamond in the rough! For starters, the fish was fried to perfection with a good amount of flavor packed in. As were the wings! I went with the sticky candied wings, which were indeed sweet but not super stinky (fortunately). As good as the wings and fish were, I'd have to say the Mac might've slightly edged them out to be the star of the meal. My son said it could've used a tad bit more cheese but we both agreed the flavor profile was still there and doing SUMMERSAULTS; I was good with the cheese ratio for the record. The greens were good but unfortunately they weren't the same temp as everything else, but again the flavor hit, so I won't deduct that from the experience being enjoyable. The sleeper were the yams tho, hands down; because based on looks, I had low expectations, but they were sweeeeeeT, thru and thru! I could taste da brown sugar in the glaze (pause), and each bite was more enjoyable than the last. Overall this was a cool find. The two brothas behind the counter were courteous and professional, and the inside was clean and presentable. I'll def be returning and suggesting this spot to others in the future!

    Candied Yams Mac and cheese WHITING

    I ordered the BBQ chicken and got the whiting fish instead. This is fine with me since I was debating between the whiting and the chicken. The fish was very flavorful, slightly dry to my liking, but the breading was crispy and stuck to the fish perfectly not falling off. Candied yams were amazing, not too sweet, perfect consistency. The Mac and cheese was also a hit packed with cheese and well seasoned giving a good complement to the fish and yams. Great little spot, that also has daily specials like brisket.would recommend for sure!

    Candied yams $6 delicious!

    was hoping to find a soul food restaurant in the Woodbridge area as we were going to be there today. We saw that the Florida Grove location soul food restaurant came up but we were like oh we don't like that place it's stinky (literally) BUT then we realized it has a NEW NAME and NEW OWNERS, and it's SO clean and smells delicious and it's called Sole Food BBQ. so you should run, not walk there and order some delicious food. We got the Whiting dinner with collard greens and mac & cheese. And we also bought the smothered turkey wings over rice with stuffing and collard greens, and one extra side of candied yams. when the smothered gravy hits the rice, it almost gives it a risotto texture, so delicious. Rich and creamy and delicious. The only small complaint is the collard greens are a little salty. But everything was nicely portioned. The owners are so nice on the phone and in person. Wishing them all the luck in the world. Be sure to ask for the daily specials. Today's was the smothered turkey wings. We also got the grandma iced tea, which my husband loved. be sure to stop at this family owned business and show them some love.

    Porkchop green beans and rice

    I have visited the location 4x now and i have to say i have tried.most of the meals and sides. I only have a few complaints. 1. The beef ribs sell out fast... call when they open ir you want to secure an order. They will save you some if you ask and its definatly worth asking for. 2. I have yet to try their turkey wings apparently they are really popular and they are always sold out when i try to order them. I have been told they are amazing and worth driving over an hour to purchase. 3. Corn bread... I dont think they offer it... but if they did i gaurentee its gonna sell out. The flavors and sauces are so good you kinda need a big piece of cornbread to collect the rest of the juices left behind after your meal... aside from those complaints. This is one of the best soul food spots in the state... the inside is small but what other options do you have when the place is full of flavor. Its definately wrth the trips. They also offer really generous portions for a really really good price and thats not c9mmon when you compare all that to the high quality of the meals. I have paid alot more and recieved a lot less.. here... you pay less... and get more... i will definately be back.

It doesn't feel crowded. I've been to El Viejo Fred twice and both times did not disappoint. The first time I accompanied my Dominican friend who ordered for me. The second time I was on my own, but the ladies were very helpful and we made it happen. Most of the food is behind the counter in a covered buffet-style setup. You let them know what you are interested in, beef, chicken etc, and they'll show you the offerings. You can't beat their lunch special at around $12-15. You get a giant portion of rice & meat, add on a bit of salad and you're good to go! The food is so delicious, the flavors are all there. I also had the chicken and cheese empanadas as well as beef and both tasted great, I liked the beef best it was very well seasoned. Another bonus? Tamarind juice!! Not many places have it so I'm always ecstatic when I see it on a menu. Both my friend and I really enjoyed the food we purchased from El Viejo Fred, and the friendly service we received, we will definitely be back!

We tried a plain pie and a buffalo chicken, and both came out hot with great flavor. Gina is always a pleasure and always provides excellent service to all her customers. The pizzas are thin enough that you can easily share a couple with the table, which is honestly the best way to enjoy this style. The edges had a nice crisp while the center stayed cheesy and satisfying. If you're a fan of bar-style pizza, this spot definitely delivers. Simple, crispy, and really well done. Will keep coming back for more!!

    DoorDash Pizza Diaries: Strawberry's Pub & Pizza…read more If I deliver it, I gotta try it. That's the rule. So after countless miles, red lights, and "leave at door" ninja drops, I finally grabbed a slice from Strawberry's Pub & Pizza--and yeah, this one earns its spot in the rotation. The vibe? Classic neighborhood pub energy. The kind of place where the TVs are always on, the locals actually know each other, and the pizza isn't trying to reinvent itself with truffle oil or an identity crisis. Just solid, honest pizza doing its job. The slice: thin but not sad, crispy where it counts, foldable without flopping like a bad screenplay. The sauce has that slightly sweet, slightly tangy balance, and the cheese? Just enough to stretch, not enough to slide off and burn your chin. Respect. As a DoorDasher who's eaten pizza in more parking lots than I care to admit, this is exactly the kind of slice you want mid-shift--satisfying, not greasy-bomb heavy, and absolutely worth the pit stop. Bonus points for fast service and a staff that moves like they've done this a thousand times (because they have). Dash Verdict: If you're ordering from Strawberry's--good choice. If you're dashing past Strawberry's--stop and grab a slice. If you're me--you're adding it to the "NJ Mom & Pop Pizza Approved" list. Until the next delivery... stay crispy.

The space is big, there's plenty of seating, and it's perfect for big groups. I love how lively it feels without being overwhelming. One of my favorite parts is the sauce and sides bar as there are so many options to customize your hot pot/bbq exactly how you like it. If you're someone who enjoys trying different combinations and flavors, you'll have a lot of fun here. As for service, it's been a bit hit-or-miss. The servers we usually get are kind and polite, but it can take a while to actually get helped. Our food often comes out before our drinks, which we totally understand, especially when the restaurant is busy, but even then everything just takes an even longer while to arrive in general. During our most recent visit, a few items we ordered were forgotten, including meats and rice. I tried re-ordering rice multiple times, but by the time our server finally asked whether we ever received it (we hadn't), I was already finished eating. He asked if we still wanted it, but at that point we had requested the check as we were ready to go. We completely understand that busy times can slow things down, but it was a little disappointing to have to repeatedly ask for something and never get it for multiple things. That said, I still really enjoy coming here. The food options are extensive, the experience is fun, and the vibes alone keeps me coming back.
