What our guests are saying
The food here is A1! I had the catfish with Mac and cheese and my husband had the fried shrimp and fries. So so so tasty and fresh. The live music was amazing 😊 and the drinks were great. I had the L.I.T. and my husband had the Henny Punch. The service was also nice. The staff were very polite.

We had the most lovely time by accident! We went for the scrumptious-looking soul food and ended up taking in a live band show that was extraordinary! The Caesar salad with shrimp was fresh and flavorful. My wife enjoyed the catfish and greens with mac and cheese. All accompanied by delicious sweet tea. Great service and good prices, too!

My husband and I attended Soulful Friday tonight and had an amazing time. Our server, was very attentive, professional, and personable. We enjoyed having him take care of us. The catfish fritters were incredible; light, buttery outside and moist inside. The best I've had! Will definitely be back. Thank you!
