My husband was a regular visitor to Lola's Uptown and got wind of Soul Central's opening in Plaza Midwood last week. Since then, we've eaten there THREE TIMES. I would have gone a couple more times but we are trying to be restrained. (Ish.)
If you love soul food, this is the place. The owners and cook are extremely sweet and rightfully proud of their business. We had chicken (baked and fried- both fantastic), sweet potatoes, green beans, collards (I'm normally not into them, but love them here), mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, and some serious cornbread, with or without jalapeños. We also had the Saturday special: Trinidadian chicken curry (bones in the mix- watch out!) and the curried garbanzo beans. Excellent- and they will be doing oxtail every other Saturday.
Show them some love- they are a great addition to our neighborhood.
