Corn bread
Che C.

I happened to be in the area and wanted some soul food so I decided to give Soul Boat a try. Upon entering it's a little misleading. The store gives more of a Chinese food restaurant vibe than a soul food vibe but nonetheless I decided to order. I got a platter that consisted of fried chicken wings and fried shrimp and I chose mac and cheese and buttered corn for my sides. The chicken and shrimp were subpar. The corn tasted like it went straight from the can to my plate. No seasoning, no butter, just tasteless. The mac and cheese is the worst I've ever had sadly. I didn't even bother trying the cornbread. On a brighter note the cashier was really nice and the place was clean. I did notice a lot of people coming in and ordering fish sandwiches. Maybe that's the route I should have went.

Very blah to look on the inside so much so that I didn't even take pic of the inside. If you are looking for ambiance , "THIS AINT IT". Order your food and leave. They have a couple of table sitting on the side but it isn't very inviting so fast forward and get your food and leave. I have been here a few times. The food has been okay. I mostly like the whiting because it is fresh, I don't have to get my hands messy, or make my house smelly from the fried fish and grease smell. The fish is light and tasty just like I like it with a crisp. They have sides like string beans but they are canned so I skipped that experience. They also have mac n cheese, and more. It you can't do better or don't feel like cooking "soul food" well then you can get there sides for a quick fix. I happy with getting my fish. They are relatively quick and seem clean. They are not much for communication but they make sure to say thank you. That's it for now.

Food is always great fresh ans made with love. We had 6 platter pulled over to the side of the road and eat lol

Definitely a solid place for food and with good prices. The fish is always hot and fresh and the Turkey wings are tender a must try.

Great soul food. Great prices! I'm sure they own E.C Fish Market as well food & menus are very similar. Both are worth checking out if you are in search of good soul food & seafood

People love this place ... I say that because we were there late afternoon during the week and it was busy ... and it kept getting busier. I do understand why folks love it tho, because there's no other real seafood "shack" in the area specifically where folks can get their blue claw crabs. It truly does look and feel like a seafood shack because the wooden walls, brown paper on the table, paper towels on the table and overall decor scream "We are at the beach in a small southern town in the middle of nowhere where" lol Our server was great! She was very attentive and made recommendations... she was also very patient with us given that this was our first time here and we're a bit undecided on what we wanted to order. Now on to the food - this is honestly where I was underwhelmed. The broiled seafood had a whisper of flavor, the crab cake left a lot to be desired and the garlic buffalo shrimp were overwhelmingly buffalo sauce on top of fried shrimp. Now the clam chowder I had was amazing and I even ordered some to go. My friend enjoyed her crab legs meal overall and perhaps if we visit again that's the route I'll go. Oh and it's also a BYOB , so, be sure to grab your favorite bottle and bring it on in.

The clams were rubbery and tough. You do go to the counter to get your food yourself, but I figured they would clear the table for us, especially since I tipped them $10 but as I was walking out the door, the counter guy yelled at me." hey you need to throw away your trash!" it was very embarrassing, and I had neatly piled my plates and trash so that it was an easy cleanup and I figured they would have to wipe the table anyway, but now knowing how nasty it is in there, they probably don't wipe the tables. I do not recommend nor will I ever go here again. To top it all off I spent more time in the bathroom afterwards than I would like.

Walking in it was lively in the bar area because they were having a trivia night where you can win gift cards. They also have other daily events and happy hours which was great to know. We were immediately seated and our server arrived a few minutes later which was nice bc it gave us time to peek at the menu which is extensive but it was really fun because it's an actual little newspaper which was cute. We ordered the crab dip and a mango martini for me and a blood orange margarita for him of which all three were really good! So much crab dip that we took 1/2 home. And the bread and veggies they serve it with both hit! Entree wise we both ordered items we felt would tell us all we needed to know regarding whether or not they were a legit seafood restaurant - a fried shrimp basket and a broiled combo platter .... BOTH AMAZING! The fried shrimp were MASSIVE and the broiled platter was well seasoned and cooked wonderfully. We had no room for dessert but the menu sounded great. Oh our server was also wonderful! I wish I remembered her name, but she was a tall, blonde young lady with a great sense of humor. So glad our original dinner plans fell through and we finally wound up here - we will be back!

The decor inside was typical for a seafood place, fish, tackle and boat tools on the walls. They walked us to the back of the restaurant to seat us, I got the idea that is all that was open. We ordered the chowder to split and I had fish and chips. The chowder was just ok. There was a lot of pepper and not much of any other spices. The fish and chips was huge. No person would finish it and not leave uncomfortable. It was flaky, perfectly fried and very good. Once we got our food, the server never checked on us. We had to get another server to go get him, then he took a long time to run our cards to pay. The server ruined an otherwise good experience.

Whoa....settle down other reviewer......one star? Yikes. Granted, this isn't French Laundry, but…read moreit's decent seafood at a normal price. Let's break it down: JUST finished my meal from here. First of all, this place is new, and that's why its zinging the way it is. I literally had to leave last saturday when I was standing in the line that was outside the door, and found out that it was an hour before I could ORDER, then another before I'd get my food. Nah. SO, we decided to try a Wednesday, and although it was better wait wise, it wasn't by much. I still had to wait about 15 minutes to order, than an hour for the food to be ready. (Luckily I live close, and just went home until they called to tell me the food was ready. Something they do here, which is appreciated.) About the food; a mixed bag. Some good, some "meh," some bad. The Good: - My steamed platter (snow crab) was good. Nothing to write home about, but a tasty meal. It came with a cluster of crabs, 3 jumbo shrimp, a few red bliss potatoes, some broccoli and carrots, and a piece of corn. All of that was cooked in a creole butter garlic sauce, and then seasoned with some old bay type creole seasoning on top. The crabs were cooked properly (no flimsy shells), the shrimp were good, and a very good size, the potatoes, broccoli and carrots were also fine. - Collard greens were pretty good. - The sweet potato cheesecake was actually really good. I'm not sure it's almost $4 a slice good, and I have no idea if they make it or buy it from say, Costco, and then put sweet potato puree on the top, but it was tasty either way. The Meh: - Crab cakes. A lady in line Saturday told me that she was BACK to get the crab cakes again, as they were "the best she's ever had," but that lady must have never left Willingboro NJ. They weren't terrible, but they were small, not actual lump crab meat, and they were slathered with this sweet brown sauce that really took away from the taste. - Although the creole garlic butter sauce is good, I could've used a little bit more seasoning. - Serving sizes are a little stingy. The collard greens and fries were a little lite. The Bad: - The corn was POSITIVELY INEDIBLE. I was about to give it to my dog before my wife asked to try it, and she was instantly upset that she did. It was mushy and absolutely gross, but this is a common problem with crab boils when it comes to corn. - The side of fries was gross. One, for a large, it was a small portion, but that was ok, because they weren't worth eating anyway. I think the fries, and they way they prepare them might be ok, but it was obvious that our fries had been sitting out for quite some time. You know how a fry tastes after you have them bag up your burger at a restaurant, and you try to reheat them to eat the next day? Yeah, that. They also come with some creole seasoning whether you like it or not, so there's that. Overall, I'm not MAD at the meal I had, but I won't be in any kind of rush to go back. The people working there seemed really nice, and I did appreciate that they call to let you know your food is ready, so you can go do something for the insanely long wait that you currently have to endure. Again, they are BRAND new to this location, so maybe they'll get in a groove, but as it stands now, I'd say skip it for now, because the wait is no where near worth the food you'll get at the end of it.

Honestly, this is probably the only thing that I absolutely loved out of all the mails that we picked out.. The pasta literally lacks sauce as you can see it's more of meat and red sauce, but it didn't even cover all the pasta when you mixed it in. Which also like seasoning flavors. We ordered the pizza for our kids. Our kids were a little disappointed by it as they had more onions than they had of actual meat. A lot of of the onions was covered by the cheese.. The burger I feel like it lacks a description as I didn't know it came with two onion rings and by the time we got home, which is not even five minutes away, the cheese had already hardened. I decided on getting sweet potato fries. They were extremely soggy. They weren't fully cooked. The calamari rings were good however, the sauce is the exact same pasta sauce used for the spaghetti, which was a little bit disappointing. I was recommended this place as I was visiting the area and I love enjoying and trying new places however I try to keep it as honest as possible. There is room for improvement the presentation as well. The food looks aesthetically pleasing however, the lack of flavors is very offputting.. This was a pick up so the service was pretty quick.

The staff is professionally and helpful. The market is practicing COVID-19 protocols. It's a fish market, when you walk in, the first thing you smell is the fresh fish, it reminds me of fish markets I went to as a kid with my mom. Fresh caught fish is delivered a few times a week, here. When you place your order, you can have the entire order filleted on site! No matter how many fish your order contains.There is the onsite purchase or the call in purchase. There is a small waiting area to hang out while you wait. You can watch your fish order, get cleaned and prepared, while you wait. Once the order is completed, your receipt number is called, pick up your bag and head home! If you choose not to have the order prepared, onsite, you can do it yourself after you get home There is a nice selection to choose from. (Eg. Oysters, Snow Crab Legs). Check out their website, to see what is available. The prices wont empty your wallet. Not bad for fresh caught fish, prepared for you. This is not a restaurant, you cant order fish and have it cooked. Everything purchased is raw, you cook it at home. Cash/Credit/Debit are accepted forms of payment.

The greens had zero flavor which was surprising , and that Mac n cheese is just not for me. It tasty like Alfredo and not Mac n cheese. Too much garlic for my liking and it was a white sauce . I was looking for some cheddar Mac and cheese so maybe a little update on the description is needed there. Make sure people know it's not traditional Mac n cheese and it's Alfredo Mac n cheese. Not terrible but I just don't care for that flavor. The fish was typical frozen variety fried fish. So overall the ribs and rice are great and I would definitely go back for that but $9 for small rice was a little much. Doesn't come with cornbread or anything, I didn't know or I would have ordered that also. Overall portion size was good except for the $9 rice. Good spot for some quick eats !

Bottom Line: I'll continue to explore this menu and update accordingly...after the brisket mac n cheese!
