Soul Food Restaurants near Gloucester City, NJ

“One of my new fav places ! I done been here more than a few times & my food was good everytime. I don’t mind waiting 5-8 mins, especially when it’s just the owner! Now I would say just use a little less salt products on the chicken (high bp issues) other than that, no complaints ! Chicken not all big & soggy looking, it’s always crispy & juicy ?“

“OMG I was walking by this restaurant and smelled the good food. I had to stop in. I ordered the curry chicken dinner, yams and collard greens and rice and beans . Amazing is an understatement . I had never had curry chicken made that way before. It was so so so good. I'll be back tomorrow to try the mac and cheese. A MUST GO TO .“

“Ok so it was our first time going here and we just drove from Jersey where we reside and ate here.It took longer than expected to get our food but it was well worth it . Terell the owners 19yr old son showed up and showed of with great costumer service ,excellent food and yeah he put the presentation down on our platters. I gotta say it was really refreshing to hear and see a 19 yr old holding down a restaurant by himself while mom had the day of and he did her and us justice . We will definitely be back and it was worth the drive from Jersey. Keep up the great work Terell.“

“The customer service was great and the food was good too. Tried the cheese balls and think for me if they were still hot (did some running around before sitting down to eat), they would’ve been better, plus I needed something spicy. Maybe adding a spicy sauce as an option. Either way, they came highly recommended, so just go.“

“I eat soul food at different places in America, and I will say this is one of the best soul food I tasted, top ten , up there with soul food places like roscoe chicken and waffle in LA, it was a spritual experience, with almost the perfect amount of seasoning, the hot food, amount of food, polite customer service, I can go on and on, Ms daisy is not playing.“

“This joint is a Camden staple, and for good reason. The food is amazing and they actually have a really great vegan platter (salisbury steak with choice of sides). My carnivorous coworkers have had everything else on the menu and always leave full and happy. Great service and atmosphere as well.“

“The Food was delicious! I had the Rasta Pasta with shrimp and I did the Cheesestake Egg Rolls to go and I will be going back/and or order some more. They were the best I've tasted. The Sauce that goes with it is tasty also. I will have to go back for the Brunch. Service was Great! Young lady -don't know her name she was very pleasant. The Atmosphere was nice and Peaceful! Will be going back!“

“Everything was delicious! I had the seafood omelette, pancakes and we shared the shrimp and grits. The grits were buttery and creamy. The pancakes were fluffy and flavorful. Our waiter Dominique was kind and patient. His service was incredible. The seafood omelette was filled with small shrimp and real crab meat! The manager Eric Coleman checked on us too! He is kind and polite. Great restaurant!!!“

“3rd time here and I'm so sure it will not be our last. The Mac and cheese is amazing ?. The service is amazing ?. Even did a phone order and that service was amazing ?. I'm team Mac and my wife is team yams. We love Soul food Sunday.“

“This food really made me smile. I'm always skeptical about soul food spots because the mac fails to be cheesy and the veggies lack flavor but this place did not disappoint. I had the shrimp and my husband had the fish and I must say I properly enjoyed my food. The only change I would've asked for was to cook the cabbage a little shorter because I prefer mines to be a bit more crunchy but even without that I properly enjoyed them. It also heats up well which is important for me because I can never eat all of my food. I would definitely recommend eating here if you enjoy properly seasoned food.“

“I just DONT UNDERSTAND how they took sumone 1st when I was in line ahead of them they even called her by her first name then the guy in back of me got his food b4 Us! He even made a comment about that! We waited at least 20 minutes. I though I saw our platters but they insisted it was an doordash order!! It seems like IF Yr NOT a regular U WAIT Till they feel like waiting on U!!!“

“Southern style soulfood by a master Southern loving grandmother type cook. Ms.Delaney loves her food and the presentation and taste DEFINITELY reflects as such. Highly recommend if you are in the Darby area right outside southwest Philly. ??“

“Love the food! Amazingly good, tasty and cooked just right. However, as a new customer I needed to know the sizes of the sides and a description of the sauces. I was not able to get anyone on the phone. I would have given five stars if I had those answers,“

“A Must Try when you come to Philly !!!… If you already here!!!Then you already know!!!!The food is so good I actually could say I tried everything on the menu and everything is so good they make on demand !!! Fresh!! A plus!!! !! That’s the best , because you wouldn’t think ? at a bar you’ll get this type of food … can I say diamond in the rough !?????.. Y’all can find them At Nickels Traven ??? SOUTH PHILLLLLLLLYYYYY❤️“

“I didn't get to taste the food because one of her workers had a bad attitude. When dealing with the public professionalism is a must. I could have referred a lot of people that don't know it's there. Your tea was very good and I hope your service gets better. A vegetarian platter would be nice also.“

“First time to Philadelphia! This was one of many! Went back 3 times during my stay! Everyone was so welcoming, nice crowd! The food was good! The bartenders was nice and helpful. Even watched a foot ball game one night. The dj played good music. It was a nice safe environment, I had a great time!“

“This brisket is packed with so much flavor and melts in your mouth. The Mac n cheese is amazing. And these collard green are vegetarian made with zero pork and the best damn collard greens I've ever had. Also the corn bread is perfection! Rich's beef ribs had the most delicious BBQ sauce that was sweet, smoky and had a little spicy kick. He also had great coleslaw and vegetarian beans that were so good!“

“Wowwwww it should be illegal to make food this good. It is soo hard to find good soul food with flavorful sides. I got the jumbo shrimp platter with mac and cheese, candy yams, and collard greens. Food and service was so good. 100/10 I will definitely be back!“

“I literally have no words as I am stuffing my face right now… this food is so good. I’m so glad I came across it on Ubereats. So flavorful, the lamp chops was so tender, the Mac was a creamy cheese. The rice was really really good . I’m just so happy… thank you!“

“Barmaids are always welcoming to you as you're coming in. Good service, good food. Nice size shots for your money. For more fun there's also a pool table in the back. So leave your negativity outside and unwind inside with new and old friends/family bar. Wheelchair accessible too.“

“I order from here and I had never seen Mr. Charlie, so I ordered for pickup and when I pulled up I saw A Man tending to the awesome smelling Grill and met Mr. Charlie himself we spoke about the early days of Barbecue in Philly, I remembered the spots , but Mr. Charlie knew the people that owned these businesses, in the city I enjoyed The knowledge He gave me , And my ribs were tender and Delicious as Always Thank You Charlie's Country Barbecue, excellent Food.“

“I had the chicken steak and the Jon Burger. The chicken was well trimmed and uniformly diced. The pieces were nicely seasoned and seared. The onions and peppers were seasoned and carmelized. The sauce and cheese added more tangy and spicy and sweet. The meat lasted as long as the roll, which was nice and buttery.I had the Jon Burger immediately after, but it deserve to be appreciated on its own. The turkey patty was thick, the chewing was good, and my taste buds sensed new things even after all the flavors of the chicken steak. I’m coming back to try the rest.Kid-friendliness: The pieces of chicken are bite-sized, uniform and very tender. The ground turkey is uniformly moist and well seasoned.“

“The food is delicious. I mainly purchase egusi and fufu or cassava leaf and fufu. I have tried the vegetable fried rice and jollof rice. It was good. I will try the jolloff rice again to see if I truly like it. The service is good. The folks at the window are friendly. There's a dine-in option. There are plenty of beverage options.“

“If you are looking for real southern soul food, comfort food that will sooth your soul this is your place. I've been coming to Debreaux's for over 20 plus years. I don't mind waiting, I'm never disappointed with my food, platters are hefty fresh and made to order, like I'm in my grandmother's kitchen. "Real food isnt fast food" as stated on the owners indoor sign. I respect and appreciate, the fact that my food is not being rushed and always right. In my opinion this soul food place is the best in the city of Philadelphia.“

“Amazing food and such lovely service at a local spot! My group ordered the lamb, fried chicken, collard greens, mac and cheese, and yams - everything was so tasty. The house strawberry lemonade was also great! Can’t wait to come back. Thanks Sy!“
