They had very little food at east 8 mile locatio. Had very little park they a bunch of no parking signs hanging over most of the parking spots on the lot. There is a car wash attached to the building. It looked like small amount of food that they had was prepared as soon as home instead of in the restaurant, there was no food at aroma whatsoever at the restaurant. I hope that the second location that they just open is better equipped with plenty of food that you can tell was actually cooked at the business and that is someone's home. I hate leaving a review like this because it is a Soulfood restaurant, and I know that in that business it's hard being a minority and trying to run a small business. However, this location leaves a lot to the imagination..

A group of us arrived for lunch, not knowing that this 8 Mile location is primarily carryout. Mz. Val was unphased, welcoming us with open arms, and we enjoyed a lovely meal together, seated at tables in the carryout waiting area. I ordered the perch, collard greens, and black eyed peas. Yummy. Go visit Mz. Val and her crew at Detroit Soul on 8 Mile!

A bunch of women from my church and I went here for lunch on a Saturday. We were the only ones there...for about five minutes. And then BAM! sooooo many people came to enjoy Detroit Soul's food. At the helm that day was Val, a vivacious, lovely woman, who took very good care of us. I'm a vegetarian, so I ordered the Four Sides option for about $15. I had the yummy yams, fries, coleslaw, and the mac and cheese. That mac and cheese, I'm embarrassed to say, beats mine hands down. Thank you, Val, and staff for a wonderful, delicious, and filling lunch.

The service was great. A Very friendly and clean environment. A very decent place to eat in. everything is new. The food is delicious! I will definitely recommend this to others. In fact, I already have.

After traveling (25) miles to try this place it was a trip that I probably should have taken a closer place for better quality...On 7/23/2023 I drove expecting a fabulous meal but unfortunately it was a disaster I ordered (2)Half slab Bar B Q..dinners consisting with (2) sides ..one Collard Greens and Candied Yams...see pics...Ribs were extra tough...Greens were loaded with vinegar ..the Yams were the best thing in the box .... I do hope this wasn't the norm...or the same quality that was presented on Tasty Tuesday.... I do hope that there other location BarBQue isn't like what I had...disappointed greatly

I finally get to this spot after hearing so many great things only to be UTTERLY disappointed. I ordered 3 meals and paid close to $80 just to trash the food. The pork chops were refried and the Mac and cheese was hard and dry. The service was stellar, but the food left much more to be desired. I certainly hope my experience was the anomaly and not the norm. I donated $80 because I certainly got nothing for the money.

Possibly the best fried chicken in the city , be prepared to wait a while on your order because everything is made fresh while you wait ...but the wait is worth it , I always get the fried chicken with Mac n cheese and greens , very yummy Excellent desserts too Best Soul Food in the city

I pulled into the empty parking lot, dark building with O and P lit on open sign. I get out of car leave door open thinking they can't be open, lite on in kitchen area, I tried door. It was open! I go back close my car door and go in. Little lady comes out of kitchen area, lites come on in dining area, she looks at me! I hate that! Just looks at me. I tell her I want a to go order of chicken wings, she says what sides I say dressing, greens and yams. She disappears back into the kitchen area for about 5 minutes and I'm on point now all alert.! This is not what I read on Yelp! In the meantime, a thirtyish year old man came out of the back from a door that I had not noticed and he stood to close to me. I stepped away from him to look at him to let him know he was invading my space! The little lady comes back with an overstuffed carry out box and a separate box. I asked her to open them it was 5 wings, greens stuffing and sweet potatoes in the separate containers. I paid her $22. I get home and to make a long story short it was the worst food I've ever had! The wings were not seasoned, dressing was stuffing and look like a large scoop of white pecan ice cream no favor of sage pepper nothing and the straight out of the can and warmed up, that's all. The green nothing! This place is off Dequindre I live off Telegraph! I drove this far for this!
The ribs were tasty but it appears that they were boiled or baked and not grilled or smoked. Someone told me they have a grill out in the warmer weather so I'll try them again. Looking forward to trying other dishes.

I was very disappointed with my unseasoned macaroni and cheese and chicken. The cheese wasn't fully melted or distributed throughout the dish. It tasted like something out of a box. The chicken was underwhelming and they most certainly didn't season it until the ancestors told them to stop. Everything was hot so I guess that's a bright side. My sister got the spaghetti, that tasted like something out of a can. The greens were decent but tasted like they were out of a can as well. The staff was friendly which I appreciated.

This was horrible refried chicken, over cooked string beans, nasty spaghetti. Franco American with some meat. Not cool. No flavor! Not again NOPE NOT ME.
