The food is pretty good, especially the catfish, but the decor and customer service leaves a lot to be desired, plus the prices are a bit much. If you visit, get it to-go.
*Edit: Let me explain more fully. I first went to Soul Food Cafe two months ago. It was busy & I ordered fried catfish. The owner was working the register & she told me 20 minutes. I walked around the area while I waited & gave them an extra 10 minutes.
When I came back, my food wasn't ready. The owner told me the food would be right out. 45 minutes AFTER that, I was visibly annoyed because multiple customers came in after me and received their order before me. My food finally came & the owner gave me a complimentary dessert & $15 gift certificate for my next visit (meals are over $15, but whatever).
Cue my next visit. I ordered through the Eat24 app this time for pick up. It said 20 minutes. I arrived 30 minutes later and my food STILL wasn't ready. The server at the register was abrasive & the cooks were glaring at everyone in the restaurant.
I have NEVER had a good experience here & I will not return. However, the food is decent if you're really craving it. Just go at your own risk.
