“OMG!!! This place is the bomb, the inside of the restaurant is gorgeous, the customer service is phenomenal and the food is fantastic. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for some delicious soul food. I love the dressing, baked chicken, sweet potatoes and muffins. The portions are good, I had enough left over to take some home for a late night snack. Our hostess Ms. Lyn has outstanding service she made sure that my glass was full at all times and that I had everything that I needed. Her smile can light up a room, keep doing a great job and we will see you again very soon. If you have not been here RUUUUUUN‼️“

“You must try the vegan pizza. The worst part of becoming vegan was giving up cheese. I've tried vegan pizza at many places and did not like any of them until trying the vegan pizza at Soul Veg City. They also sale it by the slice. My favorite slices are the veggie, the plain cheese and the jalapeño and olive.“

“A southside soul food staple that has been in the Chatham neighborhood for a long while now. Lots of love goes into the food, portions are hearty and the rotation menu served is flavorful. Stopped in with a friend on Friday (Restaurant is only open Fri, Sat, and Sunday til 6pm everyday). We were greeted by a nice lil lady @ the door which directed us on how to order and pay. She then seated us after we got our food. I had a great lunch. Smothered Pork chops were so delicious. Black eyed peas and rice had that soul up in it. My only complaint was that the okra side could've had a lil bit longer in the pot. Everything else from the service to the food was fantastic. The decor is a bit dated tho but I'm fine with it. Thumbs up to this place and kudos to the staff for the experience.Vegetarian options: Sides??‍♂️. Nothing else is really vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: Soul food. U might get the Itis.Parking: The lot is small. Only big enuff for maybe 8 to 10 cars. U may have to pay to park. And yes, they do get busy.Kid-friendliness: There's space to move around BUT this place isn't a playground. It's a restaurant. Be mindful.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.“

The earlier the better because it can get crowded in the lounge. Food can also be bought here too while having a drink. I enjoy myself here everytime, so this is a nice place to try❤️“

“I’m a recent transplant from NC and sent my husband here because we are in the middle of moving and the last thing I wanted to do was cook. This food was AMAZING! I had the fish, Mac and cheese, collards, stuffing. The best fried fish I HAVE EVER HAD. It tasted home-made. Everything was fresh and good and I’d have taken a picture but I was too busy stuffing my face! My husband said the lady behind the counter was super sweet and offered suggestions and he (who does not eat fish!) ate half my fish!! The portions are HUGE for the price and I will be returning. Tomorrow probably.“

“I love the food here. The cooks are GREAT, and the hosts are very pleasant and helpful. My biggest complaint would be lack of parking and the mixed up orders I have received on more than 2 occasions. I had to come back to the restaurant to get my correct order and/or a full cash refund. I really want to continue supporting this awesome business, but the staff needs to slow down and do a better job of checking each paid order. Nobody wants to get all the way home, mouth all ready for their desired food, especially on a very rainy day, only to discover that they were given an order that doesn't belong to them. Boooooo!!!! Other than that, I recommend this restaurant for the very good food and service.“

“Me and my wife's 1st time trying this was a little disappointing ..the person behind the counter was not considerate of this being our 1st time. We had questions about the products that are offered and were responded with little no help. The atmosphere was great, and the food was really flavorful. Since this was our first time. We decided to try a different variety of items. We order two chicken wing dinners(including 2 sides), 2 gummies, 2 cookies, 2 beverages, and a bag of chips. You can add hemp to your sauces and beverages. Which is an added bonus. As far as the edibles and the beverages. Since I have a high tolerance, I ordered the highest level that they had to offer. With that being said, occasional cannabis users will most definitely feel the edible gummies, chips, banana pudding, and cookies. They all have great flavor, but I would definitely suggest this for people with low tolerance. Overall, the total was $116. There was a mistake with my order, but the owner came to the rescue and made it right. Even though there were pros and cons, I would most definitely come back again.“

“We arrived here after an overnight stay at the water park. My granddaughter had worked up an appetite and she wanted some Salmon. They didn’t have Salmon but they had catfish. We got a catfish dinner and a grilled wing dinner greens, yams, Mac and cheese. The catfish and greens were fantastic. She gave me a thumbs up, she ate two servings of greens and both fillets of catfish. I ordered the grilled wings but they wreaked of lighter fluid or chemicals, I was a bit disappointed, I ate the Mac and cheese and the yams and both corn breads but I am definitely going to sample it before I leave next time because I know they had to do know, if I’m not mistaken I think I saw the “grilled “ wings sitting in a gravy or something. Anyway we would definitely go back to give them another try.Update:I went back to give the baked wings a redo and they were the bomb as well as The greens, the Mac, the yams and the dressing but what stood out the most was the hospitality. That southern hospitality from way back in the day.. It reminded me of my trips to Mississippi when I was a child.“

“Now even though this place has changed from back then the heart and good food is still there. I really feel like people take the new ownership for granted. We could've had someone new and try to change the whole establishment with new food and staff. But they still tried and cater to all of us. The prices are way too cheap it's almost criminal. The food is wonderful for the amount you're paying. If people don't like change then stop coming. But appreciate for what it is and what it's tryna stay to be for what we had back then.“

The salmon was really good too but I felt like it needed some sauce since it was a little on the dryer side. The greens were salty and nothing special in my opinion.“
