    This is a hit or miss spot; take it from a NC native ; this is a New York version of NC soul food. Today was the last time I eat this slop. #1. Ribs were tough & as a NC native folks in Kingston know that BBQ is a NC speciality that requires slow aka 4-6hrs & low cooking temperature aka no more than 225 degrees & ribs especially “pork” ribs must to be cooked bone side up. I almost feel like I need a job here to help them get back to the taste the owner built his representation on. The Mac & cheese was a negative 10 on a scale of 1-10 aka it was bland barley no cheese & it tasted like it only had cheap mild cheddar; Mac & cheese is all about quality cheese. The greens were a complete shame ; tasted like water ; they might as well serve Glory greens they taste better. We spent $60+ for three meals only to end up throwing the food out. In NYC you can sell a lower quality of food but in NC this spot wouldn’t last a month with the way the quality keeps going down tear after year while the prices keep going up. When the OWNER is there the food is always right & he does NOT over charge ppl. To top it all off they sold us expired soda that expired in Oct 2021. Checking inventory weekly is key to ensure quality; first in & first out isn’t rocket science. And lastly the whiting fish was absolutely horrible. Xcellent Seafood located at Ralph Avenue has whiting that puts this spot fish to shame & they are proudly West Indian but the quality is definitely Southern. Lesson learned : cook my own soul food it cost less. And lastly the ladies that work here with the exception of the young lady are a complete disgrace to Southern Hospitality ; entirely too aggressive & loud. I truly miss the Old Seafood Caterers when the OWNER ACTUALLY COOKED THE FOOD. If my financial year goes as planned I’m going to support the opening of their competition because I’m tired of NYC versions of Soul Food. Can BK get at least one authentic soul food restaurant?. This food maybe ok for New Yorkers but Southerns know this food is worthy of the trash.

    I did not have a good time here. The attendant was rude and complained for no reasonable reason. Her attitude made me uncomfortable, and the food was not worth the price. I won't be back here.

    SAVE YOUR MONEY! This place used to be decent but it is now OVERPRICED and the food is not that good. I just paid $20 for 3 legs of fried chicken, a side of Mac and cheese and a side of potato salad. I think they're on their last leg! Not many choices to choose from and hardly any patronage

    I absolutely love this place. The food is fresh and down home delicious. The employees are cool and you definitely get your money's worth here with the portions as well. We recently used them to cater for 250 people, and the food was great and held the same quality.

    I brought a large plate of Barbecue chicken and rice and peas from this restaurant. When i got home and starting eating, the chicken was horrendous, i threw the food away. This place is under different management. The plate caused be 29 dallars. I would never eat there again. Their buiesness days are numbered.

    Smh so tonight I ordered shrimps & fries I get home it's fish. I take it back tell her it's wrong I want shrimp she constantly repeats "fish" I'm saying "No I want shrimp." She says "Ok". I'm starvin at this point so she brings it out bagged up.. Lmmfao now I'm staring at a extra thing of fish 1 being in a dirty tray. I used to eat here faithfully since it was on Fulton street I tried it back in February it didn't work out so I thought this would have been the redeemer but nope.

    I've been ordering food from Soul Food Caterers for years, even used them to cater a birthday party. Every item I've ordered was good. No complaints at all.

    I ordered two fish sandwiches from this place thinking I may have found a cool little fish place or soul food place…when I opened my sandwich 🥪’s there were two very very small pieces of fish on each sandwich…I wish I could send a picture. I will NEVER order anything from this restaurant again and I wasted money on this bullshit… the Uber driver was so sweet but other then that I would never recommend this spot to anyone.

    If you're looking for soulfood this is the place to be. I'm talking smothered turkey wing all the way down to collardgreens. Food never miss and always tastes the same "Great". I've been coming here a long time and don't plan on stopping.

    Took my mom here her old friend owns the place. She loved the food. Only downfall is they only accept cash, and our food came up to $80. Was inconvenienced but using the ATM. Not too many people carry cash.

    Walked in 3 people in restaurant not one even acknowledged I was there even though they all looked at me. There were no other customers either. I ordered fish and grits. Grits were so runny. I used a spoon to eat them. Fish was slightly salty. Ordered oxtail rice and peas String beans. Oxtail was under cooked so tough. Rice was dry even though I asked for gravy before and asked her after did she. She said yes. String beans were ok. Bottom line. Food is a no return for me. Also because looking at other foods in display. Banana pudding was dried up as well as potato salad. Unimpressed

    So so so good. The food SLAPS it's so good. The fried shrimp had this amazing seasoning and the Mac and cheese was gooey and delicious. I'll definitely be coming back for more!

    Staff are friendly. I have been here for Thanksgiving meals 2 years in a row. It does not disappoint. My favorite items: Mac n cheese, stuffing, yam. I'm not a turkey person so chicken or oxtail is my go to.

    Customer service is horrible! Didn’t even get a chance to order food because the mf who answered the phone had a nasty attitude! After I read the reviews I now see why 🥴

    The food tasted great not too crowded the day I went but I bought a good amount of food and went a long way and an expensive cab ride to get it and the main thing I went there for and got charged for didn't make it's way into my bag I'm sure it was an accident but I really wanted my yams 😊
