The catfish sliders are the best. Great ambiance. I visited restaurant on Chicago avenue. It was a poetry store going on also. Definitely will return.

So good. So, so good. My fiancé and I shared a plate of catfish, macaroni and cheese, and greens, and it was everything you'd expect from great soul food. Everything was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The catfish was crispy without being too salty, and the mac and cheese was rich and satisfying. I also had a daiquiri, which I probably could've skipped--this place is about the food, not the cocktails. It was so good, it makes me want to try their vegan options next time. The only downside? The older man working in the kitchen was giving serious Grinch vibes. He seemed to have a chip on his shoulder and was unnecessarily rude to customers. We're all here for the same reason--good food--so let's keep it positive!

This place is where you want to go if you want to immediately go into a food coma afterwards!! We're no strangers to all of the awesome businesses on Chicago Ave, and this place didn't disappoint! My husband chose this restaurant for date night because he wanted to compare the fish & grits with the ones he's had in the past as a born & raised southern boy. It was pretty quiet here on Saturday evening upon arrival, but we were seated quickly which is always a plus especially close to a holiday weekend. Service was prompt and friendly, we already had our orders planned out ahead of time, so we were ready to go as soon as we got there! Unfortunately, the fried salmon jerk pasta that I wanted wasn't available, but I had a backup just in case. What we ordered: fried catfish sliders, fish & grits, salmon+ shrimp, side of greens, and sweet tea (note: this is a BYOB establishment, so no cocktails or alcohol offered!) The catfish sliders were on our table probably less than 3 minutes from ordering them. As someone who has never tried catfish before and is really picky about fish in general, these sliders were DELISH. The breading and the way that they fried them made me wish I ordered the fried chicken instead of the salmon. The breading was ultra crispy without being too greasy while maintaining the moisture of the fish inside (also, no old oil taste here!) Our entrees came out soon after. Both were fresh+hot and straight out the kitchen. Portions were appropriate to the price, and everything was cooked perfectly. I kept stealing forkfuls of my husband's grits because they were that good. You could definitely see the butter pooling beneath them, but they weren't overly salty, so it was the perfect balance of richness and flavor. I'd say we were in and out with our leftovers boxed and check taken care of in less than 40 minutes (we're not the type of diners who like to sit around for hours)! Empty dishes were cleared quickly which was nice given the tables are quite small. Extra napkins were provided which was much appreciated because I personally always need them haha. As we were wrapping up, I heard a person at the table next to us exclaim that this was the best food they'd ever had, so that was something nice to remember the night by :) I think the only change I'd love to see would be different sauces accompanying the dishes! The sauce for the catfish sliders, grits, and salmon seemed to be the same. While it was a great sauce, I think that having a couple of different ones would really give more dimension to the awesome menu that they have here!

Friendly staff, great service, and ambiance was vibing with 90s R&B, made the food absolutely tasty. BYOB made this place fabulously budget friendly. Will return for chicken wings.

Great food, awesome service, music was awesome. Decor and just the Ambiance was on point. Definitely recommend

I tried this Black owned gem for the first time on Thursday with two friends visiting from out of town. My friends are from New York and have high standards for really delicious food and a nice ambiance at restaurants, so when I saw the decor on the reviews at Soule to Soule, I thought we'd try it out! The location is an intimate spot, and the pictures from other reviews accurately reflect the decor which incorporates a cool dark green velvet texture on the furniture and curtains throughout with gold accents. (I didn't take any pictures of the decor while there) The server was attentive and throughout our dining experience we were never left waiting for anything too long or felt neglected. One suggestion I'd have is that the server turn on the charm and smile and create some more warmth and welcoming energy, that would go a long way in the future. We started off with the jerk wings, which definitely had a spicy kick to them. The plates were a bit worn down which took away from their presentation. The sauce on them was thick and the chicken wasn't as tender as I'd prefer. But the main course stole the entire show! I had the catfish and grits and wow the flavor of this dish was phenomenal! For my friends, one got the same as me, and the other got the salmon, shrimp and potatoes and absolutely loved the flavors as well! The food was a hit for them! The main dish was amazing and I'd definitely return. I did not realize until we arrived that this restaurant does not serve alcoholic drinks, so this is something to be mindful of. We ordered the Soule punch which was quite delicious! I truly believe this place could be a real star with some minor tweaks; upgrade the menus to some laminated or better yet menus in a leather menu holder, up the warmth with service, and keep the music at a volume that is enjoyable and allows for easy conversation among guests. This place has all the makings to be packed every night of the week and I do hope they grow to this level! Let's support this local gem with tantalizing flavors and watch them excel!

Love this place! Beautifully decorated. Great music and EXCELLENT FOOD!! I found myself letting the jerk chicken linger on my tongue much longer than I normally do to savor the flavor. Everything ordered at our table was delicious, Jerk Chicken, Jerk Shrimp, Fried Chicken, Sweet Potatoes and Sweet Potatoes. The Soule Punch and Lemonade were also hits. I highly recommend!

This place has a fine dining room feel to it. The colors are rich and the lights are dim. Our waiter was attentive and moved effortlessly through the tables. The food was really good. We started with fried green tomatoes. They were crispy and full of flavor. Our main courses were fried chicken and fried catfish dinners. Both were fried very well and were crispy with good flavor. We choose the greens, Mac and cheese and sweet potatoes for our sides. All three were tasty. The greens have a nice savory heat to them. The Mac and cheese could have a bit more cheese for my desired taste. Let's not forget the Arnold Palmer! This mixture was balanced well. It was refreshing and had just the right amount of sweet to it.
