Soul Food Restaurants near Mt Vernon, NY

“Great Food Great Prices Great Customer Service“

“First time eating here and they are good Mac n cheese could have seasoned but okay 2 star and more cheese. Shrimp flavorful and hot 5 star cat fish nuggets 4 star overall would come again. Make sure you get there early things run out fast and it is a black Owned company“

“The food here is scrumptious, well seasoned and ample portions. We got the turkey wings, collard greens, mac and cheese, peach cobbler and extra sides of collards and potato salad.You receive cornbread with your meal. Everything was packed up nicely for us and the restaurant itself is very clean.I realize some complained about the personality of one of the women. However, stay focused on why you’re there. A little crankiness is not a big deal… to me. Also, we never know what someone is dealing with. Honestly, my (customer care) experience was neutral for the most part. Shrugs.Parking: There are usually metered spaces out front. At the most, you might walk a half block.“

“Been to this place twice! Soon as we got off the bus, we headed here. Oxtail is so good! I'm not usually a persons who likes fat on their meat, but they cook and season it so well that u can't help to clean the bone. Mac & cheese is so good and the yams are so sweet! Love a sweet & savory combo. That tea was sweet & refreshing. They were out of the potatoes and chickpeas which was great last time so next time! Such a staple when touchdown.“

“OMG the cake is fabulous, taste like that cake grandma makes..big slices with homemade buttercream frosting!Okay the Catfish was fried to perfection. They had made the cabbage,very well seasoned.There frozen strawberry hennessy colada was good as well..yeah I am going back ?“

“Scrumptious food! And they're practicing and implemented covid-19 safety measures for their customers.“

“I had Kadyah's Soul food for the first time a week ago and I have to say that the flavor of everything was well balanced and pronounced. You never questioned if there needed to be more seasoning. For me personally, I love to simply eat meat, and all the meat that I have tried tasted amazing. Also, despite my meat comment, I loved the yams. Definitely recommend.“

“Great atmosphere, awesome music, prompt service, friendly staff and outstanding cuisine !!!“

“My first time here. It was crowded because of an event. But let me tell you.. it was worth the wait!! We couldn’t stop eating lol forgot to take a picture. Omg so delicious. I used to say there were no good soul food restaurants left it NYC. Notice how I said “Used to “.This food was absolutely delicious! We had fried whiting, fried shrimp, yams, Mac and cheese. Broiled shrimp and yellow rice. They sold out of collard greens so I know those were good! I will be back ! You have a new customer!! Thank you!!“

“Excellent service and Plenty of options! Everything was amazing!“

“A new restaurant and bakery to the neighborhood that services Soul and Creole food. Finally had the opportunity to try it out, i ordered the Jerk Chicken lunch and Oxtail lunch with seasoned rice, candied yams and mac & cheese. Everything was delicious - i love that the meat falls off the bone of the chicken and oxtail... also the candied yams were cooked just right (not overly soggy)i was expecting bigger portions but im ok to sacrifice quantity for quality... They have a bunch of baked goods and pies that i havent tried yet. Also, they may not have everything on the menu as they are still getting going - so worth calling to see whats available that day. Im looking forward to going back and trying other plates“

“I ordered takeout from here on Seamless and got the whiting and catfish with collard greens and Mac and cheese. The food was fire. The fish is super well cooked and seasoned and you get big meaty chunks of fish. All of that cost 28$ which I think is a good deal for what you’re getting. The people inside were sweet. Will def order again.“

“The food is locally sourced daily. They offer 4/5 delicious entrees with delectable sides. Service was warm & attentive. Can't wait to return!!!“

“I’m from the Bronx and I ordered from here on Uber. Happy to say that the food came to me still hot :). The Mac and cheese was good I loved the yams and the shrimps was good as well. I know if I would’ve had this straight out the kitchen It would have been way better! Loved my food thank “

“Roberta’s featured nice indoor/ outdoor décor, good food, a stacked bar and a live DJ doing a livestream keeping the place lively when I was there on a Friday night. It’s a place to go with or without friends, to meet people or on a lil dinner date. The service was excellent, and I love that it’s a Black-owned, family run business. I highly recommend it!“

“Hands ✋? ?? DOWN the BEST Jamaican food in the Bronx! Small in size, colossal flavors though, great selections, excellent customer service, and incredibly tasty food. The portions are insane in comparison to quantity, well beyond worth the money. Small plates to catered trays, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They're cooking on the premises, and it's magic ✨️ ?? Gotta be.. Pictured is a medium Whiting meal ??$14 ... a medium!“

“This restaurant has replaced my kitchen! It is at the end of my street and I have gotten take out from there several days a week. The food is fresh, well prepared, the prices are more than reasonable and the portions are huge!. I have tried mainly all of the chicken dishes and most of the sides; either by myself or with friends. The macaroni pie is amazing.! he food is also set out several times a day so it always is fresh .The owner/chef is a friendly outgoing man and his staff are also very friendly.It has counter seating and a buffet presentation. It is well worth a visit.“

“Devin braved the cold and wind with a smile on his face and cooked up crispy henny bbq wings(his mom’s recipe). The sauce on the wings were spectacular. The Mac and cheese with truffle oil( i think he said) hit the spot. I also had the skillet cabbage ?? my pallets was doing the happy dance. Please do your self a favor and go support him, you wont regret it.?????“

“speed of service, shrimp, catfish, whiting, sides and desserts“

“YOU NEED TO ORDER FROM MISS LORETTA ASAP!! I called at 5pm on a Thursday, this is a family owned business and is not a fast food spot. You WILL get a home cooked meal here.I was looking for a TRUE southern Mac and Cheese and that's exactly what I got. Miss Loretta informed me that a big pan had to be ordered at least a day before, and I didn't mind. But she did call me back to say she could accommodate me and it would be ready by 8 pm! Upon pickup it was super fast and efficient. The gentleman who delivered it to me was so sweet the whole experience was just wonderful. From the call to the last bite of the Mac and cheese.HONEST REVIEW: Mac and Cheese 10/10, every noodle was seasoned to perfection, and you can see the black pepper. The ingredients were balanced so well with SO MUCH CHEESE.What I loved it that you didn't get tired of eating it which tends to happen with some Mac and cheeses. Sometimes it all starts to lose its taste and honestly with every bite I was transported to flavor town.Pros:Family ownedBlack ownedSupport the community Cons: Might be hard looking for the building number but if you are parked right in front of the key food, just move up a little past keyfood and it's that first apartment building on the right“

“Nice partying place for gatherings“

“Their food is superb, and the service is quick and professional. It's the closest I've come to experiencing authentic Waakye and Jollof. With a wide variety of Ghanaian dishes, we were truly spoiled for choices. Will go there again next time I am in NY.“

“Food was very good. Our server was very nice, but absent for most of the meal. Had to work to get her attention at the end and ended up paying the book with someone else and tipping them for coming over to help us. As per most restaurants owned or operated by people under 50, it was entirely too loud. Music was blaring and the three of us were shouting to hear each other. The 20 year old at our table complained about the volume. It's not an age thing, it's a common sense thing.“

“We really liked the food, it tasted good and seemed like good quality. All five of us liked the food, even the vegetarians had a lot to choose from, the man working there was nice. The place is ordinary but if you want good food you can go there and eat or you can take the food with you.“

“Good food, good coustmure service safe environment“
