I couldn't wait to check this place out! The line was long but it moved fast. Although the line moved fast it took a while to get your food. I didn't mind because the food was hot and fresh. I had their fried fish, yams and fries. Everything was cooked perfectly!

Cajun Turkey Wings
Richard R.

Came for the turkey wings, but fell in love with the oxtails. We arrived on the grand opening weekend of their new brick and mortar location to lots of activity and fanfare. There were balloons, music, dancing, a DJ, and tents! Two different flavors of turkey wings were prepared, regular in gravy and Cajun style (4 stars). Unfortunately they ran out of the regular before we reached the ordering counter, but the Cajun were still very good! To my surprise, the oxtails (5 stars) were some of the best I've ever eaten. Large, tender and soul forking good! We also ordered chicken wings (3.5 stars) with their famous mambo sauce and fried fish (3 stars). Both were okay, but the star of the show for me were the oxtails. Hope to visit again next time we are passing through Charlotte. Overall I would give them 3.75 rounded up because of friendly customer service and very respectable large crowd management.

I asked someone about recommendations of good soul food and SOUL FORKING GOOD was suggested. When I pulled up, the line was out of the door. It was around 4:20ish pm and they close at 6pm on Sunday. The line moved really quickly. There was a DJ outside playing some good music. I ordered the (large) Whole Chicken Wing plate with rice and gravy with collard greens. Six wings come on this plate along with Munbo Sauce and a roll. The cost was $23 plus tax. Food was DELICIOUS!!!! I will definitely be back!

Leftover Mac N Cheese from a day or so ago that was reheated
Malik C.

This was one of the worst food experiences I've had in a long time. What's advertised on their social media pages is flat-out misleading and does not reflect what you actually receive. The food online looks fresh, rich, and made with care. What I got tasted old, poorly handled, and reheated. The mac and cheese was clearly not fresh. It had that stiff, dried-out texture that only comes from sitting and being reheated, and it honestly seemed like they tried to cover it up by throwing fresh cheese on top. That didn't fix anything and it just made it more obvious. The flavor was bland, the texture was rubbery, and it tasted like leftovers being passed off as a fresh dish. The fried chicken was dry, tough, and completely lacking seasoning. It tasted like it had been cooked long before and reheated without any care. No crispness, no juiciness, no flavor and just disappointing. And the biggest issue of all: the candied yams were not candied yams. What I received was mashed potatoes. Not a different style of yams. Not a mix-up in texture. Literal mashed potatoes. That goes beyond a simple mistake and into either extreme carelessness or outright dishonesty. The restaurant was extremely packed which would explained why they can't keep up with the demands of making food fresh. The 2 sides were pipping hot like someone microwaved them and placed them in a tray. Also; there is nowhere to sit down in the restaurant. The serving lines were not cleaned, neat and presentable. Food service is also about cleanliness. I was incredibly disappointed for driving over an hour to support this black owned business. As a food service professional for over 20 years myself this experience was beyond the pale. I will not return and recommend to family and friends. I wish them all the best and hope things will improve.

Great spot for lunch, brunch, dinner! We love this place

I could eat here every day. I recently had the Season fish and macaroni and cheese. The collard greens were an add-on and they were so good. The plate was full of flavor and all took me by surprise. No wonder if this place is so viral and has lines around the block. This place is a must try.

Fried Fish

Located in a strip mall type of setting this is a food truck turned brick and mortar. The wait was long. About 45 minutes from the time we walked in until to we got our order. Small space. I would not consider it dine it but there were 3 small tables. We ordered the whiting dinner and the chicken wing/whiting dinner. Two pieces of cake and a lemonade. Our total was $77!! The fish was not hot by the time we got 5 minutes down the road to our hotel. The yams were too thick or something. The collard greens were not well seasoned. The cake was just okay. For that amount of money I was expecting to be blown away and I was not.

Went there with a friend on their opening week...Pork Chop and side was delicious and the place was packed ..Met the owner and another member of her family...Great staff and definitely deserve our support...Will try and make a return trip soon...Friends I went with had the Catfish and were quite pleased...I also heard the oxtails are off the chain..

Chicken wing large greens and Mac
Tasha S.

Ok yall this place is super good. When I pulled up I almost turned around because the line was out the door. We waited and the line moved pretty quickly. I ordered a catfish sandwich and a large wing dinner with collards and Mac. It's was wonderful the Mac was about a 7 everything else was a 10. O and I had hush puppies on the side too and they were a 10. Now the cons: Due to the door being opened so much it was a lot of flies in there. Hopefully they are working on a resolution for that. Lastly there is a machine in there that you can place your order on if you are paying with a card which is great in theory. The problem is it's in a bad place and you still are waiting in the regular line for a while to get to the machine. If that machine could be places somewhere else it would be great. Overall experience is 9/10 and I will def be back.

I visited SoulForkingForkingGood in Durham today after following them on social media for a while. I really wanted to love this place, but honestly, my experience was just okay. I spent around $70 for everything. I ordered the fish and shrimp dinner with two sides. The shrimp were fine, but the fish was very disappointing. It was a thin, dry piece that didn't taste fresh and looked nothing like what they show in their TikTok videos. I'm not even sure it was whiting because whiting is usually thick and meaty, and this wasn't. The cabbage had no flavor at all, but the yams were really good. I also ordered a small side of chicken wings, three for about $7.25, and those were delicious. The wings were seasoned perfectly and cooked just right. My husband got the jerk turkey wings with cabbage and yams. He said the turkey wings tasted great but weren't very hot, more like warm. The rice and gravy were very good, but again, the cabbage was bland. The restaurant itself was packed, and there are only a couple of tables inside, so we ended up eating in the car. The cashier was really nice and helpful, especially since it was our first time there. Overall, the service was friendly and the wings were the best part, but the fish and cabbage really let us down. I drove about 45 minutes to get there, expecting something amazing, and it just didn't live up to the hype. I'd give it 3 stars. I don't hate it, but if I ever go back, I'll definitely order something different.

Spicy Turkey Wings
Ebony H.

If you're looking for good soul food this is it. The plates oh my goodness. They give so much and very helpful since this was my first time.

Collard Greens and Mac N Cheese

Food was absolutely amazing!!! Service was very good, the cashier helped pick my meal by telling me whats really popular. Overall experience was great!! Everyone was working hard. Loved seeing my people doing great things!!! We will definitely be back.

I was in town for work and the shuttle driver highly recommended this restaurant. I was excited to get some home cooked food. The customer service was 10 out of 10 The food was 5 out of 10. Large portions for the price. I got the regular turkey/jerk turkey wings, greens, Mac and cheese, and yellow rice. The greens tasted slightly gritty, the Mac n cheese was not cheesy and salty, rice also slightly salty. Maybe it was a one off day for the cooks. I don't think I'll try them again.

Chicken Whole Wings

See all

The food was fresh and well seasoned. The price is reasonable and you get a good amount of food for your money.

This was my first time trying Amigo Papa after seeing an IG reel that hyped it up. I decided to…read moretreat myself to a birthday lunch and headed to the Miami Blvd location. I got there early and actually waited 45 minutes for them to open--only for them to open late. When I approached the counter, there was no greeting, no smile--just cold energy. It was obvious there was a language barrier, but instead of trying to help, both women behind the counter ignored me when I asked for a menu. They continued talking to each other like I wasn't even there for an additional 10-12 minutes. After the wait, the attendant eventually came outside to prop up their large floppy menu sign, but it fell down again. She saw it fall, rolled her eyes, and just went back inside the food truck. As someone who had never ordered from there before, I was really relying on that sign to decide what to get. When I mentioned it to her at the window, she refused to come back out and fix it--so I had to prop it up myself. The whole situation felt so unprofessional. Honestly, I should've taken that as my sign to leave and not spend my money there. Again, even after all that waiting, I had to wait an additional 10-12 minutes before they were ready to even take my order. I came specifically for the birria corn, which they advertised on their IG page for this location. The woman told me they didn't have any birria of any kind today. I also asked about the pineapple agua fresca--also unavailable. Mind you, three more groups of customers came after me asking for the birria too--and they were just as disappointed to hear it wasn't being served and it was another couple's first time visiting also. I even saw a man who appeared to work for them unpacking his car with food items to deliver to their truck, and he confidently told me, "Oh, they have everything." That was completely misleading and clearly not the case. I was literally the first person in line, and I still ended up waiting over 35 minutes for my food--with no crowd. On top of that, I was being stared at like I was a problem. It made me feel incredibly uncomfortable and unwelcomed. I left feeling completely disappointed, especially since I had been genuinely excited to celebrate myself. The service was unpleasant, the vibe was off, and the reality did not match what they promote on social media. Sadly, I won't be back. They seem to cater to influencers online, but don't show that same hospitality to everyday customers.

I saw several videos on Instagram about Amigo papas food truck and everything looked scrumptious. I…read moredecided to go and took several family members and friends. I had my mouth set on stuffed baked potato b/c ALL of the videos made my mouth water. However, my stuffed baked potato was very dry and nothing like any of the videos. The potato not chopped up (huge chunks of potato throughout) and I believe they forgot the butter). I asked for extra cheese and didn't receive it, matter of fact I couldn't taste any cheese at all. I don't think I'll be returning.

Pictures I saw online for their dishes looked fantastic. I really wanted something with shredded…read morebeef. I've never had empanadas or any of the other dishes that they make. So I thought I prepared well enough to know what I wanted. First strange thing was that as I'm standing at the truck wanting to place an order I was told I need to go inside to order. Right next to the food truck there's a small store that they own, where you can sit and eat and apparently where you have to order. There was a very nice lady inside helping me with my order, but I was totally confused. The empanadas did not mention shredded beef as a filling option so I asked her about that and she confirmed as far as I could tell that shredded beef was not an option for the empanada. She then flipped the menu over and said here is where shredded beef was an option and it was an $18 dish. I didn't need something that big and I couldn't tell what else came with it. I didn't know what the heck it was. At this point, I'm getting angry and disappointed. So I ordered the chicken empanada. Not what I wanted, but I do like chicken too. I also ordered a cheese stuffed bread appetizer. Second strange thing from a food truck is that she said it would be about 20 minutes. That seemed excessive, but I guess they make these from scratch. Now here is the third and most baffling: my father, who is with me, apparently ordered a shredded beef empanada, and that's exactly what he got. I didn't hear him order as I was trying to read the menu. I don't know where the disconnect was but they're definitely was one. I know outside the music was blasting but I can't remember exactly what was going on inside, but I know it was very loud because I had a hard time hearing her, in addition to the language barrier. The good news is that all the food tasted amazing. Maybe they're not interested in an English speaking client base. There were three other food trucks in this parking lot and none of them had a menu or anything written in English.
