    Order to go --- ask for your protein ON THE SIDE-the salad had slide into a wilted room temperature  plate-- it's already 90 degrees outside
    Susan H.

    Well seasoned-- service --order on line carefully..the waitress with the red ponytail tail is a little impatient ( black capris).- she gives " unapproachable/ don't ask questions " The sweet potato pie -- looks amazing-- I should have of $12 to get a fair portion.. I will try again

    Build your own Meal Jerk Chicken

    Ordered for delivery online. Got the BYO bowl with jerk chicken, homemade Mac and cheese, garlic mashed potatoes, candied yams and cornbread. Food was STEAMING HOT Everything was perfect! The flavor profiles of everything was TOP TEER. The cornbread... when that hit my mouth... tears formed in my eyes I'll be a regular here before I know it.

    Fried fish dinner
    Rome L.

    Was looking for a back up place grab food with my mom, because the original choice was closed (shame on us), so after some yelping we landed on soul to go, in our searching there was no mention (or we SEVERELY overlooked) that this is a ghost kitchen and therefore takeout only. The location has a kiosk where you can order from all the kitchens in the building, but it seems that the apps are the primary order method for the places here. That being said there was a table in the corner by the window that we decided to eat at since our plan was to dine together. I got the fried fish dinner: perch, okra, red beans & rice. The rise was both stick and a little dry. The okra was basically one giant ball, and very gooey on the inside, and the perch was so salty it was difficult to eat. I did have a piece of my moms chicken which was solid. The person who prepared our very kind and checked on us as we waited for our food. Can't say that we'll make a return trip/follow up order though:

    Columbus Food Hall on Essex Ave.

    Located inside Columbus Food Hall on Essex Ave. No dine in. Smothered pork chops were tender with plenty of gravy, but cabbage seemed overcooked. Mac and cheese had parsley and a little cold so the cheese wasnt melted. Pound cake was moist. May order again if I want smothered pork chops.

    Awful.  Pulled jerk chicken, cabbage and collard greens.

    Unfortunately, the pulled chicken was mostly skin and bones, as you can see...and VERY SALTY. Greens were just ok, but eatable. The cabbage was super oily with a peculiar flavor. Very dissatisfied.

    Chicken rice with gravy baked beans and cream corn

    Let's just say that we will try anything once I really mean once So tonight we were on the hunt for dinner wanting to eat something new we jumped on yelp now I came across this place a time or two before but was wondering what they really like so tonight we thought it would be good for dinner let's just say never again I MEAN NEVER AGAIN we purchased 2 different build your own and got all different sides to try them out 1st meal was the lemon pepper chicken leg quarter with cabbage greens and Mac and cheese 1st what was the cabbage it was brown smelled like wine so it was old as all get out y'all should've kept that the Mac taste like box with chives tossed on top of everything I ask for no veggies on my green they placed them there anyway which didn't help the over bearing salt stalks and heavy oil that was also included 2dry sponge cake pieces of cornbread I paid 5bucks for when the box eggs milk cost less the 2nd meal was chicken rice and gravy bake beans and cream corn let's start on the corn did you use evaporated milk and cinnamon yuck that what it taste like and it was silky nooooo the rice was soggy a table spoon on gravy THE KICKER WAS I ASKED FOR MY FOOD TO COME SEPARATELY DO TO THE JUICES OF FOOD NOPE THEY PUT IT ALL TOGETHER WHICH MADE IT SLOPPY ESPECIALLY WITH THE SPOILED CABBAGE THEY SERVE SHAME ON YALL WILL NOT BE RETURNING

    Corn Bread

    Ugh, I cant even find the words to describe how good their food is. I got the build your own bowl with fried pork chops, Mac, cabbage, yams & corn bread. The pork chops are seasoned well, they give you TWO big pork chops, the Mac and cheese is amazing (im very picky about my Mac and cheese) the cabbage has a nice kick to it, the flavor of the yams!! Wooh! And my corn bread is so buttery. Listen, try it. This is my second time ordering, the first time I had smothered pork chops, which were so good, just a tad salty but nonetheless, im happy I ordered from here again! It's like thanksgiving on a random Friday in March lol

    My first visit and I was a little apprehensive because I was the only customer. I have a motto,…read more"go where the people are," and there were no people. I looked at the steam table, and not sure what to get because I tire of spending my money and being disappointed. I ordered something that I thought would be a safe-bet...I ordered 4 fried wings, Mac and cheese, and candied yams. I started tasting my food when I got in the car. The wings were perfectly cooked -- juicy and tender. The Mac and cheese had a decent amount of cheese, not like some places that cover their Mac and cheese with some type of Velveeta sauce. I would have eaten all of my wings in the car, but I needed some hot sauce, which surprisingly the restaurant did not have. I finished my meal when I got home. The yams were delicious...not overly sweet. I will say that the wings and Mac and cheese could have used a little more seasoning, but that was okay...there are many times where I went to a soul food restaurant and had to toss food because it was way too salty. I would rather my food to be under seasoned than over seasoned. You can always add, but you can't take it away. I will definitely return, and try something else on the menu, and hopefully not be disappointed.

    Came here when my first choice nearby was closed for the day. I'd heard a ton of good things about…read moretheir other location, of course, and meant to go eventually but forgot this one was here. Tiny, carryout only, though there are a couple of tables to sit while you wait or maybe to eat a quick lunch. Super friendly staff. Fairly short menu; all the good stuff. I wasn't famished and didn't want to wait for chicken or fish, so I got an assortment of sides thinking that would be quicker. They fried up the okra right then, though, and had a steady stream of pickup orders coming through the door, so it still took 10-15 minutes. It was okay, though, smelling the amazing scents coming from the kitchen, talking to the staff and customers. I hadn't noticed they have ribs (just a picture, not on the menu) so I might've ordered those. Oh well. $20 I think, or they do combos with sides or fish and sides. Anyway. I got fried okra, and it was a big portion and absolutely amazing. No need for any sauces, tasty on its own. Perfectly crisp. Baked beans: my style, sauce so thick you can eat them with a fork. Slightly sweet, mostly savory, very good. Greens (collards) with turkey: outstanding. Tender but not floppy, nicely seasoned. Cornbread: soft, sweet, crumbly, topped with butter. Yum. Geechee rice: seasoned, bacon and sausage, very good. And black-eyed pea salad. I like black-eyed peas but had never had them in a salad. These were great: plump, with bits of tomato and cucumber and onion, in a vinegary dressing. Again, yum. Enough food for two meals. They gave me the side plate special, three sides and cornbread, which helped with the price. I was headed home and not thirsty so I didn't get a drink, but based on conversations with other customers I missed out on the lemonade and sweet tea. I'll be back for those and maybe a rib-fish combo. And to try the mac. Get here if you can!

The greens were well seasoned and the mac was nice and cheesy. Excited to have found this place.

    First, if you're not from Columbus (like us), the place is inside the International Marketplace…read more Now with the housekeeping out of the way, let's get to the goody ... After a really rough day on the lanes, we were hongry (yes, I spelled that correctly) and wanted soul food. The soul food place we'd visited the last time we were in Columbus closes at 6pm. It's a little after 7. So trusting my fellow Yelpers, I searched out soul food and Kays was very near our hotel. They, the Yelpers, as usual, got it right. Those of you who know us, know that we go in hard. Especially when the place has good customer service reviews. Our fellow Yelpers did not lie. The place is a kitchen staff by Kay herself and a young lady whom I'm assuming is her daughter? Nonetheless, her booming personality and jovial demeanor made us not care about what was cooking in her kitchen! We wanted it. The hand written flipboard menu was nothing less than charming. Made me feel like I was at grandma's where she put a note on the refrigerator saying this is what's for dinner. Don't spoil your appetite before then. Not an expansive daily special menu, which was cool, because when you haven't eaten since breakfast, you tend to go hog wild at the mere thought of food, and typically can't settle on anything. Pimp had pork chops, rice and gravy, and greens. I had the catfish and macaroni and cheese. When I say the silence was palpable when Pimp started chomping that chop ... He completely left the building. Him, pork chops, rice and gravy were in a different ethosphere. He did wish there was more gravy though. Greens were tender and well seasoned. My catfish was rolled with hands that had done family reunion fish frys for a long time. Well seasoned, coated and fried to perfection. The macaroni and cheese had the creamy, stringiness that you like to play with before you fly it into your mouth. It definitely had personality. But the coup de grace was indeed the service. I am completely angry, because we need to eat in this woman's kitchen at least once a month, and Columbus is 3 1/2 hours away from Detroit! The Saraga International Market is interesting in and of itself, but I'll post a different review on that. Kudos Ms. Kay. We're looking forward to them oxtails on our way home tomorrow and to many visits in the future.

I have to admit that ever since moving to Columbus 6 years ago, I've felt that great soul food is hard to come by here, but hers is definitely the exception! Came on a Sunday afternoon and tried the stuffed salmon combo. You are allowed to pick how many sides you want, and the price increases accordingly. I opted for mac n cheese and collard greens, and the greens were some of the best I've ever tried at a restaurant. Also was given a huge portion well worth the price. She was kind enough to let me sample her turkey and dressing which were delicious too. I'll definitely be back!

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.

    Deeply disappointing experience. Won't return…read more We went to CJ's Soul Food yesterday around 2:00 PM, and the restaurant was nearly empty--three other parties total. With that few customers, we expected attentive service. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill quickly. Service: We waited 30 minutes before anyone even acknowledged us. Eventually, the chef came out, handed us menus, took our drink order, and mentioned that not everything on the website menu was available. That turned out to be a massive understatement. The website menu is wildly out of date. Items that are still prominently listed online--but no longer available--include: - Vegetarian Soul Roll - Fried Green Tomatoes (one reason we chose this place) - Aaliyah's Angel Eggs - Crawfish Étouffée (another reason we came) - Beef Polish Boy (another reason we came) On top of that, they were sold out of: - CJ's Soul Roll (the main reason we came) - Smoked Collards Dip - Banana Pudding (also a reason we came) If these items are gone permanently or frequently unavailable, the website menu should be updated or taken down. As-is, it's misleading. After another 15 minutes, our food order was finally taken. The food didn't arrive until 3:20 PM--80 minutes after we walked in. Once the food arrived, the service didn't improve. No one checked on us. Not once. My chicken tenders arrived with no sauce. I had to ask. A young boy brought BBQ sauce, with no options offered. The tenders were so overcooked and tough I needed a knife to cut them. My companion ordered catfish and wings. No sauce was offered or provided--no tartar, no cocktail sauce, nothing. He said the catfish and wings tasted good. The mac and cheese was thick and pasty, not creamy. Atmosphere / Operations: The owner's son was present and clearly old enough to help, but spent most of the time wearing headphones and on his phone while being repeatedly yelled at from across the room. If he's working, he should be engaged. If not, he shouldn't be in the way. We also watched three DoorDash drivers come in to pick up orders--only to leave empty-handed because customers had ordered Soul Rolls that weren't available. If an item isn't being made, update the DoorDash menu. This affects both customers and drivers. The photos show how empty the restaurant was. With so few customers, there's really no excuse for service this slow or inattentive. Bottom line: This place needs serious attention to basics: - Update the website menu - Update the DoorDash menu - Greet customers when they arrive - Check on tables - Plate food properly (or at least offer sauces) - Improve communication and front-of-house operations We won't be back and can't recommend it. Based on this experience, it's hard to see how this business can survive without major changes.
