| - After a much needed massage, Soul Central was on my radar, as it was just a few minutes from where I was and also had great reviews.
Not sure if I caught them on an off day but the food wasn't what I was expecting. Staff was great and prompt. The place was packed (good sign right?).
I ordered the wings (per some reviews), mac and cheese and cabbage. For my drink, an Arnold Palmer...TASTY! I'm not a fan of "super sugary" drinks and this Arnold Palmer was spot on, perfect. You can dine in, if you'd like. The place is pretty small, with 3 tables available. I opted to go home, which wasn't too far.
The chicken, super crispy (win) but lacked flavor. I ended up dousing it with Louisiana hot sauce. The mac and cheese was good and the cabbage was terrible (I hate to type this). It was spicy, from some type of orange pepper that was added to it but it had NO flavor. No salt, no nothing. It ended up in the garbage unfortunately. I should've gotten the greens. It was a toss up when I got to the register and I went with the cabbage.
I really wanted to like this place, based off of the reviews. Will I give it another shot, absolutely! But I won't be driving out of my way to try it again. I hope next time is better.
