    08/07/26 We had just…read morecome up from Grants Pass on our vacation and were browsing for food spots near our hotel when JoJo's came up. We instantly knew we had to check it out. By the time my uncle and I made it over to 'The Yard' Mr. Tukufu had already sold most of his food, it had apparently been a very good day for him, understandably so. Nevertheless, we ordered some leg quarters and he kindly obliged despite appearing to be worn out from the long day. When we came back around to pick up the food I was shocked at the size and weight of the take out bag that was given to us. Mr. Tukufu had certainly hooked us up and when we got back to the hotel we had an absolute feast. I am confident in saying this was the best soul food I have ever had. You could tell it was made with love and sincerity. Thank you to Mr. Tukufu for being so generous, it was not lost on us. We look forward to seeing him again the next time we are in Salem.

Not a really large serving, three pieces was the large, but it came with lots of fries and (I think, I'm remembering a few days later) hush puppies. Friendly guy behind the window.

    We stopped into Route 99 for lunch on Saturday, August 1st. It was not the first time we had been…read morethere, in fact it was probably the 6th or 7th time! This time, we were greeted by friendly staff as soon as we walked in. This is not unusual. We were seated immediately and our server approached promptly. Her name was Laramie, (super cool name), and she was friendly, happy, and very efficient. I had the smoked cheddar burger. This was the first time I had ordered it. It was so darned good!! It's a double patty burger with cheese, bacon, and all of the fixin's. It comes with a side of one's choice. I had the Jo-Jo's along with it. They were awesome too! They are wedged potatoes with a flavorful coating and then fried. Oh my goodness!!! So good! The restaurant is very clean, open spaces and decorated nicely. It's one of those places where you want to look around to see the fun things hanging on the walls. Nice but not overdone. Prices are good, right in there with many other restaurants and completely worth it for quality of their food and for the quantity that you get. I'm a big eater but I still had to take some home with me. I highly recommend stopping in for a great breakfast, lunch or dinner. You won't be disappointed!

My chicken fried steak was solid and easily enough for two meals. Unfortunately, my husband was pretty disappointed with his brisket. It was more like shredded pork, and he felt the flavor was off--he was expecting more of a smoky barbecue taste. Overall, a mixed experience depending on what you order.

    Immediately to the right when you enter the Killingsworth Station is Taste of Soul - now, you may…read morebe asking, isn't it kind of a grandiose name for a food cart? And to be quite honest, the answer is kinda. No offense. But, is the name justified? And the only answer to that question is a definite YES. Last, the main question you are probably asking yourself is, should I eat there? And the answer to that, Sarah, is yes. You should definitely eat at this food cart. Let me tell you why. Taste of Soul gives you just that, a traditional soul food experience. But, just from the one meal I ordered on a dreary, cloudy Portland day, I had more than a taste of soul. I had a whole flavor reset happen to my palate. My world grew sunnier and brighter with an infinite amount of temporary taste happiness. The sweet tender taste of the catfish coated in a dusting of cornmeal and spices fried to perfection danced on my tongue as the accompanying sauce gave a zesty kick to the already flavor packed fresh fish fillets. The chunky fries were pillowy and perfect, potatoes partitioned to particular flavor packed pieces and promises of pleasant tastes. Also, nicely seasoned - totally worth upgrading the regular catfish order. I did have to wait a bit, but the owners were so nice to give me a free lemonade for my wait and they were generally very kind. You could tell they loved being there and cooking up some delicious food for everyone. How often do you hear Portland and soul in a single sentence? Come try this place out!
