    $14.88, wow!
    Rosa W.

    I was in Worcester recently for work and was in the mood for Soul Food and found this cute place close to where I was hosting my event. As soon as I walked in I was instantly greeted and welcomed. Looking at the menu I was conflicted on what to choose as everything looked so wonderful. I was encouraged to try the fried chicken so I went with the recommendation. I originally ordered a drumstick and thigh as I prefer dark meat but ended up with a drumstick and breast. The drumstick was fantastic, perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, and the skin was SO crispy. The breast meat was a little dryer than I prefer but to be expected with white meat. The sides however were wonderful. I ordered the collard greens and macaroni and cheese with yellow rice. This came with a slice of cornbread. Everything was delicious and generous with the portion. I'll definitely go back and encourage anyone to try it out.

    I've been to this place a bunch of times since I started working in Worcester. This is the best place in the downtown area no doubt, and the best bang for your buck. My favorite is the beef rib. Always tender. Consistently delicious. The vibes in here are also dope. The brick wall to the right is covered with pictures of famous influential Black Americans. From musicians and athletes to civil rights leaders and other intellectuals, it's a cool spot. The music in there is always a vibe. I sit down to eat whenever I can. I haven't tried the oxtail yet but it's next on my list for sure.

    This place feels like your grandma's cooking. Are you looking for authentic southern food in New England? Look no further. From the chicken to the Mac n cheese to the yams. Everything is top-notch. My Boy Rob is holding it down back there. Best OxTails in Worcester. Meaty and fall of the bone too.

    Food: the chicken was cooked to the perfect tenderness and crispy skin. I also enjoyed it with the barbecue sauce as well. The mac & cheese has a nice balance to cheese and noodle, but could be a bit more creamy cheesey and the collard greens were made with just the right amount of salt/vinegar. Unfortunately, I wasn't the fan of a cornbread. It was a little bit dry to my liking, and it wasn't quite sweet enough either. Service: nice folks that have been in the business for years, def have serve themselves a spot on the community. Ambiance: it's a rather old school building that brings an old jazz to it, almost like a cafeteria in the 50's. However, they don't really have a sign to show you where this is so you just wanna look for a brick building that has the address number for you to actually find it. Location accommodation: it's near the Worcester Hanover, which is nice if you ever want some good soul food, but also parking is not so great and so you may need to take a little walk down.

    FINALLY, Saturday I hit Addie Lee's Soul Food (ALSD) on an open day. As the old saying goes..."y'all put ya foot in that!!!" For those who don't understand...EVERYTHING was AWESOME: appearance, texture, flavor price, staff & cleanliness = 5 Now ALSD how can we help you open up 1-2 more days? *Please excuse the shadow's photobomb, see the pic's caption for detail.

    Beautiful winter day!!!

    Why didn't I try it earlier. Sad I missed the pork however smiling staff and although not much option but overall it is a good neighborhood staple. Would have given 4 star but had to take off 1 due to the taste on that days BBq sauce. It felt it was made with less time on hand and bit heavier on the ketchup. Would be back again as in the summer this is going to be my common work pickup lunch.

    Stopped in here for a quick bite before a Music Worcester/Hanover Theater performance. It's small local place where you order at the counter, and they bring the food to your table when ready. It's very much a comfort food venue, and I was happy with the results on this, my first visit. The cashier suggested a hearty beef rib which comes with either white or yellow rice. I ordered a side of yams, though the large dinner comes with 2 sides. As I recall, this dinner costs about $10. The food arrived within a short time, less than 10 minutes. * The rib was delicious, tender, tasty. * The yam was excellent and sweet. * The rice was bland and a tad cool. Overall this warranted four stars, and I'd be happy to return.

Mac N Cheese - Very dry, not bad tasting but definitely not creamy like I'm used to and I'm from the south. Collard Greens - Great taste, but nothing stood out about them. Not Amazing, but not bad. Cabbage - Cooked to perfection. No complaints. Yams - Again, nothing special, not bad, but not great. Cornbread - Good! Nice and moist. Honey Garlic chicken - Nothing really bad to say. I did enjoy the amount of sauce and that the wings were fried hard like I typically order them. Flavored Lemonades were amazing! If I do go back, it will be for those. I ordered from Door Dash, so I did not go in the establishment or get to interact with the employees.

My baby is 11 months old and she goes "Mmmm" when she tasted the spoonful of Mac & Cheese, soul rice and collard greens.

PROS: Top notch customer service, flavorful, interactive self order kiosk, clean interior, great music and visually appealing wall art & food presentation. CON: Limited off street parking due to a small and busy commercial area, and I'd like to see a couple kiddie high chairs now that I'm a new mommy I notice the need. Great place! Try it and bring your family.

I later found out they have other locations as well. When I arrived, I noticed this is more of a grab-and-go spot. There is no seating area for dining in, just a small waiting area with a couple of chairs. Parking is street parking, so keep that in mind when stopping by. I ordered in person, and I have to say the service was quick! Within about seven minutes, my food was ready. As soon as you walk in, you can see the menu and even see the kitchen area, which I always appreciate because you can get a feel for how your food is being prepared. The employee who greeted me was very friendly and welcoming. You can also order online. I ordered the seasoned rice, shrimp, mac & cheese, and collard greens bowl. First impression... the bowl looked beautiful and was put together very nicely. Everything looked fresh and appetizing. The shrimp was sautéed in a garlic sauce and had great flavor. The mac & cheese was definitely a highlight, very cheesy! When I put my fork into it, the cheese stretched and expanded the way you hope a good mac & cheese will. The collard greens were good, although I'll be honest, I've had better. They still complemented the bowl and added that classic soul food feel. At first glance, I thought, "Is this going to be enough?" But after eating it, I was completely satisfied and full. The portion was actually just right. The price was reasonable and within the range of what many restaurants are charging today. What makes this place stand out to me is that it tastes homemade and I love fresh food made with care. My only suggestion: PLEASE consider adding cornbread to the menu (hopefully soon ). A piece of cornbread would complete this bowl meal perfectly! Overall, I would definitely recommend Soul Bowl's. Great flavors, quick service, friendly staff, and that homemade comfort-food feeling. I'm already curious to try more from their menu! What should I try next?

There's six available sauces and my favorites was the meat heat and catchup. I wanted to try a few of the meats and got the meat platter with pulled pork, brisket and ribs.

For $35, I think the portions were generous and I got mac & cheese and potato salad for sides. The mac & cheese to me is better than other places. I would definitely come back whenever I'm in the area.

Corn bread ok , needs more flavor with real corn mixed in, lose the paper wrappers and bake in pans directly ... or change to a biscuit with honey butter . The owner was working the line first visit and things moving. Second visit : same points mentioned above, but this time smaller quantity of brisket and drier? The ribs smaller and drier ? 2 different food prep guys this time and noticed difference from visit day before? I did try one smoked wing this visit and wing wax excellent smoke tender wing.

We ordered two soul food plates -- 1 meat and 2 sides for $19 each. I went with the garlic and herb wings, and my wife got the hot honey wings. Both came with about six wings each, and they were so flavorful and meaty! For sides, we both chose collard greens and mac & cheese. The collard greens were seasoned perfectly, and the mac and cheese was rich and delicious -- definitely comfort food done right. Each meal also came with cornbread, which for me was the only miss of the night; it didn't have much flavor and didn't seem super fresh, but to be fair, we went around 6 PM, so it might've just been late in the day. We tried two desserts -- the pound cake and the peach cobbler. The pound cake was a bit dry, but that peach cobbler? Amazing. Sweet, warm, and full of flavor. We also got a side plate of fried catfish, and wowww... that was a showstopper! Crispy, fresh, and perfectly seasoned -- I'd honestly make the 30-minute drive again just for that catfish alone. All in all, this spot deserves way more attention. You can tell the food is made with love, and with a few small tweaks, it could easily be one of the best soul food restaurants around. Definitely worth checking out!
