    We went to Taste of SOUL to celebrate my dad's birthday, and had a wonderful experience there. :0) It was my mom and dad's first time there, and they really enjoyed it. The food was delicious, and the service was friendly and personal. The owner came to our table with a sweet and warm greeting, and our waitress was super sweet and personable. We will definitely dine there again.

    The restaurant is like home. Comfortable and not overly decorated. Now the food is another thing. Probably the best fried chicken in the area hands down . The corn muffins straight from moms kitchen the best and the Mac and cheese just makes you know the place is legit.
