The Soul Spot

Y’all don’t understand HOW GOOOOOOOD this food is! My new favorite work spot. The ribs and mac & cheese are a 100000/10 — you can taste the love in every bite!

Ordered for pickup because it said delivery, 5 blocks away to my hotel, was too far. Food was done on time, but the lamb chop was the only thing that came out as expected. The black eyed peas with rice were more like Caribbean rice and peas vs the traditional style. It was hard to discern if it was in fact salmon in the croquettes because it was overpowered by sweet mashed potatoes. The jollof was okay but the stuffing tasted like they used the leftover cornbread, it was so sweet it could have been dessert. It was just totally not the style I expected when it said "soul" because we don't even have the words to say what was wrong with the green beans but I miss seasonings and flavor.

This is what they sold me for $16 out of my hard earned money. I just wanted a dinner meal not a plate full of oil, gravy. The meatloaf wasn’t even that grate, I bit into something in it. The whole experience was horrible. Rushed me to make an order and to choose.

I was really looking forward to this plate, but unfortunately I was disappointed. The flavor was decent, and the presentation looked good at first glance, but there was barely any meat on the bones. It felt like I paid mostly for bone and two sides rather than an actual portion of food. For the price, I expected a more generous serving with enough meat to actually enjoy the dish. I hope the restaurant considers being more consistent with portion sizes, because the taste had potential — it just didn’t feel worth it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Hidden Gem That Feels Like Home! Listen I originally walked in just for cornbread. I was in the area, looked the place up on Google, and thought I'd give it a try. The moment I saw the food, I started yelling to my friends (we were visiting from Toronto Canada) asking if they wanted anything because WOW. Every single bite was worth it. The food felt like it came straight from my Jamaican family’s kitchen homemade, flavorful, and full of love. That cornbread? Easily the best I've had in YEARS. No joke. I even bought two extra pieces to save for later... but ended up eating them because everything was just that good. I was so impressed I told my other friends staying at a different hotel to make the trip this place is worth it. Amazing food, great vibes, and warm service. Go suppo
