The slab of ribs was incredible! Fall off the bone succulent! Mac & cheese had a touch of smoky peppery goodness to it the green beans had smoked ham hock that was outstanding! read more

Well, any place that serves smoked meats and plays Teddy Pendergrass deserves five-stars in my book. But in all seriousness, just the smoke taste on my turkey sandwich was food for the soul. I only needed a small lunch, so I didn't try their ribs, but judging by the quality of their smoked meats, I'm sure they're phenomenal! For being so small, this place has some serious character, and is a welcome addition to Lincoln's (much-too-small) bbq scene. If I can find time to come back, I can't wait to try their ribs and two side combo! read more

SoulFULL Cocina - A Flavor Explosion with Heart! Wow, where do I even start? I had the absolute pleasure of dining at SoulFULL Cocina, and let me tell you, this place does NOT disappoint. I ordered the fried chicken, ribs, baked beans, fries, collard greens, and mac & cheese--and every single bite was perfection. The fried chicken was crispy, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. The ribs? Fall-off-the-bone tender with a smoky-sweet flavor that made me want to lick the plate clean. The sides deserve their own shoutout: the collard greens had just the right balance of tang and seasoning, the baked beans were rich and flavorful, the mac & cheese was creamy with a perfect cheesy crust, and the fries were golden and crisp. On top of the amazing food, the ambiance was just as impressive. The vibe is warm and welcoming, with a cozy, laid-back atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. It's the kind of spot where you can truly relax and savor the experience. They played some jams on the speakers for sure! The service was great, too! The staff was friendly, attentive, and made me feel like part of the family. And the prices? Unbelievably reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. If you're looking for comfort food that feels like a warm hug for your soul, served in a space that's both inviting and full of good vibes, you HAVE to check out SoulFULL Cocina. This place is above the top--10/10 recommend! read more

The Mac & cheese was an embarrassment. There's no way around it. It was dry, flavorless and clearly an old batch. Not acceptable to serve to customers. And our potato salad had a giant piece of undercooked potato. First impressions are the worst- my first and last time. read more

Small portions, food was bland and paid over $30 for what seems like sides more and then order a side of corn and it was gross the skin of the corn was kind of hard but got are food quickly read more

Was on a roadtrip from Norfolk Virginia to Oakland California... this place was so damn good!! Catfish was FIRE!! Ribs were FIRE!!! He told us he was from Covina which is right by my Papa in West Covina (I'm from Hawthorne ,Ca) . He said his bro had a spot in Sac called Blue Cue.. we were oh yea we gonna check it out when we get back........... nah blood. Nothing was hittin like the food in Nebraska smh.. the hospitality is unmatched at this place fr. The food feeds your soul! Wish it was the same for his bro spot. read more

I don't care how much it cost, it was excellent and that will bring me back. The ribs were succulent, meaty and full of smoke flavor, the result of thoughtful recipe and technique. The beans were excellent, but I could not eat many because of their sweetness. Cole slaw was typical Southern sweet cole slaw. Their counter girl was helpful and knowledgeable. Decor is tasteful and typical. If you like BBQ, you will like this place, and you will return. read more

First time here. I ordered the Cajun Soul chicken sandwich which came with one side. I selected the macaroni and cheese as my side. My husband ordered the BBQ Sundae and asked for an additional side order of Sweet Dill Corn. First, the sandwich is marinated in Sriracha sauce and pepper flakes and then breaded and fried. And the it's served on buns with Sriracha mayo and pickles. There may be more to it than that, but that's what I remember. I have to say that it was really delicious. It was dripping with juices and so, so yummy. The macaroni and cheese was very good as well. Quite satisfying. My husband really liked the sundae. And he gave me a bite of his corn and I've got to say that I regret not ordering that instead of the mac and cheese. The service was great. The guy at the register was very good at explaining everything and gave us a coupon for the next time we come in. I truly recommend coming here. If I could give 4.5 stars, I would. read more

Always great food, always well taken care of. Great ownership and worth a try. (Get the tri Tip)

I've wanted to try this place ever since they opened but haven't been able to make it over during business hours. Finally got to try a few things and so far very impressed, we had ribs, baked beans, Mac and cheese all very tasty, ribs were juicy and seasoned well, nice chunks of meat in the sweet and tangy baked beans, creamy Mac and cheese. I hear the catfish is really good so will be heading back to try that and a few more menu items.. read more

I had a great experience at Soulfull Cocina . From the moment we walked in, warm and inviting ambiance from the ower. The staff was attentive, friendly and helpful. I got a pull pork sandwich & yummy mac&cheese. Everything was plated nicely, cooked perfectly & of course bursting with flavor. Left with a tummy full & a smile Overall fell in love with the place will definitely be coming back! read more

Food definitely needs improvement. Catfish was dry and prepared improperly. They used a dry rub on pork, which is a big no no as it dries out an already lean meat. Mac and Cheese was old and the cheese was expired, most likely reheated from way earlier in the day or even from the previous day and they garnish their ribs with pickles. All around a terrible food quality. Do not recommend. They also have things on their menu that they do not actively sell, as they have never served them. When confronted about this blame was shifted to DoorDash. read more

I'd like to say that had been some of the best flavored catfish in Lincoln. Baked beans are nice sweet. Collard greens are on point. Great atmosphere also to boot. I recommend you check them out. read more

Homemade sides and smoked meats!!! The new restaurant in Havelock is a must try! Staff is friendly! Place is clean. Get in early, the daily smoked meats and fresh sides can sell out quick. I'll be back forsure! Can't beat those prices!!! read more
