    Shrimp tacos
    Melissa W.

    Soul Flavor is a long time Carolina Beach favorite of ours. We always make sure to try the specials and have not been disappointed yet. The service was surprisingly a bit on the slow side this visit. We were sitting in the back in a corner table, and I believe our server had other big parties to tend to at the time. We get the best service sitting at the spacious front bar. All of the appetizers that we have tried here have been fantastic. My daughter always likes to get the beef strogonoff. I don't think you can ever go wrong with fish tacos at the beach. My husband enjoyed the flavorful jambalaya topped with snapper. Portions sizes are great. Both my husband and my daughter had leftovers to enjoy the next day. We will definitely be back next year!

    This was a 9/10 for me. Having never been here before, when you walk in it seems a little scetchy at first because of the ambiance, decor and yellowish brown dim lighting. But don't let that fool you. We were greeted with smiles and felt welcomed. We came on a Wednesday around 5pm. We were seated immediately. Our waitress was really friendly and we had no issues ordering and getting our food in a timely manner. The food here is ridiculously good! I opted for the pork belly with pineapple shrimp fried rice. The porkbelly was cooked to perfection with the crispy edge. The shrimp in the rice were plump and all of the flavors blended together well. The chicken wings had wonderful flavor. Personal preference, I like my wings fried with a crisp, these appeared to be baked and soft, but the flavors made them good nonetheless. My husband had the cajun fried chicken with asparagus. He enjoyed it, said the asparagus was the best he had ever tasted. I washed that down with a drink called the Chai Bella...umm, umm good, Vanilla vodka,chai,ginger beer and smoke. I'm going to try to make this at home. lol If I'm ever back in the area, I'll be back and I 100% recommend this place.

    Teriyaki salmon

    This was our third visit to Soul Flavor, and it continues to be one of our favorite dining spots. We arrived early and were able to skip the wait, which is a smart move, because this place is popular for a reason. The atmosphere is a fun and funky blend of rock-n-roll meets hippie, laid-back, vibrant, and full of personality. It's the kind of place that immediately puts you in a good mood. We started with the deviled eggs appetizer, which we've had a few times before and absolutely love. They're always a hit and served with a lightly dressed spinach salad topped with pickled onions. That little side salad adds a bright, tangy contrast that makes the whole dish pop. Oh so good. For my main course, I had the special: teriyaki salmon with pineapple and rice. It was fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. The original menu included bacon, but since each dish is made to order, I asked for it to be left off, which was no problem at all. It's always nice when a restaurant is flexible like that. The portion was generous and satisfying, so no room for dessert this time. The service, as always, was excellent. The staff is friendly, attentive, and seems to genuinely enjoy what they do. Soul Flavor delivers consistently great food, a cool atmosphere, and a team that makes you feel welcome every time. Highly recommend!

    Daily Specials are incredible, this is Blackened Shrimp Wedge Salad.

    Locals know the real deal and are gracious to share the info. Great cocktails, food was amazing and the staff is wonderful. I loved wondering around looking at the music themed artwork.

    Great find in Carolina Beach, that we wish we found sooner. They have weekly specials and the vibe is upbeat and cute. The service is top-notch and the food is absolutely delicious. We will definitely be returning often.

    We got to this place as a group of 6 people. It was over that 50 min till we got food on our table. (Not worth to wait) I feel bad writing this review, because I heard the owner is a very good person. I wish the service became better though! Am I mean the actual service, cause to say "sorry it took so long", "I will take care of you guys" with a smile it is sweet. But to forget the order.... Hm. So I asked dressing on a side, but got my Caesar floating in that sauce. We had to ask about straws. Table was sticky, which is one of the main reasons why I am sharing this review! I was wearing really nice long sleeve dress and I felt like in a cheap random fast food greasy place. The menu looked good though. And a waiting area with a couches and a bar. I've got special, scallops with a crab cake. I wanted to substitute the scallops, but our server said they usually don't do that but I will ask for you(she was nice saying that) But! She never got back with an answer and just brought the crab cake with the scallops. I was glad in the end coz scallops were good, and the crab cake was not my favorite at all! Also, not very fresh bathroom. I get it, it was dinner time, the end of the day. However, it feels like the owner doesn't want to hire more people, as he can't deal with all at once, obviously. Grateful for that experience. Don't dress up for this place. My cousin said the fries were good! Oh, and I had a bite of ribs from my father in law. Ribs were amazing!

    Was really excited about this place because I'd heard great things about it, and I was kind've disappointed. It was fine, but that was it. Average food and underwhelming vibes. Not a bad spot, but it was just decent. That's all.

    Margarita while I wait

    First off Parking - they have their own lot. There is an overflow right next to it. But be patient. If you have to wait for a table - the waiting area is nice and comfortable. Leather couches I could fall asleep in (I didn't, but could) For an appetizer, we had fried green tomatoes. It was the best I'd ever had. My wife said the same for her. For mains, I had Cajun Grilled Mahi Fillet, the rest of family had, Snakin with Poseidon (lobster), beef stroganoff, and the tofu tacos. Chandler, our server was great. Came to check on us at the perfect times. We ate here on our first night at Carolina Beach. Later, we heard from a few others - some locals, some travels - that we needed to be sure to eat at Soulfoods. Check! Fun atmosphere and great food.

    Fresh fish tacos with chips and salsa

    This place has an eclectic menu and a large board of daily specials. My husband had the burger royale, and I had the fresh fish tacos (mahi was the catch of the day). The food was incredibly fresh and delicious! I had a glass of wine, and my husband had a hard cider. We didn't try the desserts, but they looked great as they were served to other tables. Our server was one of the bartenders, and she was very efficient taking care of most of the room.

    Crème brûlée
    Malory S.

    This place was so with cute with a chill atmosphere. Our waitress was amazing and she did not stir us wrong with what to eat. We got the ribs, which fell right off the bone and had great flavor. We also got the salmon fillet dinner , which was to-die-for! Crème brûlée was delicious as well! We will definitely be going back to try other foods!

    Be ready to be surprised if you have not been. The daily specials are a must try. Take a walk on CB boardwalk for a night cap. Cheers.

    If you're looking for one of those places where everything just lines up--the weather, the food,…read morethe mood--this is it. Out on the pier at Tiki Bar & Ocean Grill, you've got a front-row seat to the Atlantic, and on a day like today, it doesn't get much better. Blue sky, sun hitting the water just right, and a breeze that reminds you why people have been coming to the coast long before fancy resorts showed up. Food Simple answer: they've got it dialed in. Fresh, well-prepared, and exactly what you want at the beach. No overthinking it--just good coastal food done right. That's how it's supposed to be. Service Friendly, easygoing, and attentive without hovering. The kind of service that makes you feel welcome but doesn't interrupt your view--or your drink. Atmosphere This is where they really win. Sitting out over the water with string lights overhead and waves rolling in? That's hard to beat anywhere. Now, yes--the beach itself has those big metal pipes running through for replenishment. Not exactly postcard material. But here's the truth: once you're up on that pier, looking out over the ocean, it barely matters. The view still does what it's supposed to do--makes you slow down and stay a while. Final Take Great food, solid service, and a view that carries the whole experience. Even with the beach work going on, this place delivers what a coastal spot should: good eats, cold drinks, and a reason to sit a little longer than you planned. If the weather's right, don't overthink it--grab a seat, order something simple, and enjoy it the way folks have been doing for generations.
