    Quick BBQ lunch was on the schedule for the day and they did not disappoint…read more Patty, I think, asked lean or fatty when I ordered brisket and it was amazing. Definitely get the fatty if that's your thing. Place reminds me of so many Texas places I've been to - no frills and great food.

    My husband and I came in yesterday evening after seeing all the great reviews. Before coming, I…read moredidn't realize they don't offer the typical 1-meat, 2-meat, or 3-meat combo plates like most barbecue spots. The only actual plate option was the chicken. Everything else is sold by the pound, and the sides are all à la carte. We ordered quite a few sides: one spicy mac and cheese, one regular mac and cheese, green beans, two yams, and two beans. The mac and cheese could definitely use more seasoning. The spicy version mainly relied on whatever heat they added but still lacked depth of flavor. The other sides were decent and overall enjoyable. The meat itself was good, but we did receive some noticeably fatty pieces. What I can't get past is the price compared to the portion of meat you actually get. For what we paid, it just didn't feel worth it, and that alone makes it unlikely we'll return. One other thing that stood out was that all the hot food on the steam table and the cold items on ice were uncovered when we walked in and remained that way while we ordered. That really turned me off from trying the banana pudding and potato salad. The food wasn't terrible, but for the price and overall experience, it just didn't quite hit the mark for us.

    This business has changed its name to The Soul Kitchen and has relocated to a small, rental…read morecommercial kitchen located in Norco on Hamner. Same owners. They call it a "ghost kitchen". Warning, they do not answer their phone, but take online orders only using the Toast app. I had to use Google to find the link, new address, and place my order. I am unsure if this, the original Riverside location on Riverwalk Pkwy, is closed. I do not live near the original to confirm one way or another, however months ago the owner had said they were closing. The menu has pretty much remained the same. Their mac and cheese is insanely good!!!Orders can be placed using this link: https://www.toasttab.com/local/order/messi-soul-kitchen-riverside-ghost-kitchen-2-1434-hamner-ave#:~:text=1434%20Hamner%20Ave,Large%20Collard%20Greens

    Pro Tip: Open Thursday through Sunday, 1-7pm only…read more Well, this turned into a pleasant surprise. I had no idea there were any restaurants in this area, much less a Hampton Inn lurking nearby. It was making a delivery to Inn that led to spotting this Soul food spot. Inside it's a vibrant, inviting yellow themed front space and dining room. Very conducive to good moods. I decided that the mini combo, with one side and cornbread, was a good value at $13.99, whereas the full combo adds a second side and costs $17.99. Lots of choices, including several styles of chicken, the smothered pork chops both sounded, and looked good. I saw a plate being assembled before I ordered. And the oxtail also appealed. Future trips will expand the experience. Ultimately, it was the pot roast that I ordered, with rice (or not if you prefer), and the greens rounded out the side choice. I proceeded to devour the entire meal in short order. The pot roast was amazing. Killer gravy, melt in the mouth tenderness, and the greens were another pleasant surprise. Hard to say what I tasted other than absolute goodness! Well done, and the host and her assistant were also warm and friendly. Über Eats, and possibly Doordash can deliver to your door.

    amazing and friendly service. good and peaceful ambiance. even better food! the place is very nice…read moreand clean. we got the hawaiian house special fried rice which comes with chicken, beef, and shrimp as the protein. all rice plates come with sweet pineapple, corns, green onion mixed in. the plate was loaded and full of protein in each bite. for $13.59 you cannot beat it! great portion especially for the price. doesn't come with any sides but it doesn't need them. it is the perfect combination of sweet and salty. not too oily, not under seasoned, not cold, just perfect. we also shared the hawaiian bbq mix plate that comes with macaroni salad, rice, and steamed vegetables (under the meat) as sides. the proteins are bbq chicken, bbq beef, and kalbi short ribs and you get all that for $15.99!! the meat is all well cooked and seasoned. the macaroni salad was very delicious and not sugary or sweet like other places. it was the perfect salad...i just wish there was more of it haha! would be awesome if sides were two scoops or just a little bit more. the steamed veggies were also delicious. nothing ordinary about them because they are just places under the proteins so they soak up the juices and are perfectly steamed. rice is amazing too! even tasted better than just regular white rice made at home. employees are busy but ready to help if need be. they have self serve sauce stations which was very cool! i really enjoyed the curry sauce with the rice and the teriyaki with some of the protein (even though they are perfect without sauces also). they also have a poke bowl station which seems so yummy and fresh. it is also a good price at $13.95 for a small with 2 scoops, $15.95 for medium 3 scoops, and $17.89 for a large with 4 scoops. also a plus is that they gave free refills for dining in. only con i can think of is some of the meat being too tough/chewy. i think it was the beef. when i would get a piece with the rice it would be too chewy to eat but i think it was probably just connective tissue (?) it just made me spit out a lot of the smaller meat pieces. just part of eating meat i guess but my mom agreed it was a bit too chewy/full of fat. however, would love to come back and try the seafood plates, a poke bowl, and to have more macaroni salad!!

    Tried the poke today and loved it! I got the 3 scoops salmon, scallop, and shrimp and everything…read moretasted super fresh. Mixed with eel sauce and their poke sauce, it was so flavorful! I'm so glad they offer poke now, now i can try 2 foods in 1 place Love it!
