I used to love this place. I took a visit for lunch and there was an over powering smell of burning plastic. I waited almost an hour for my order and employee was not very polite about it. Most uncomfortable comfort food I've had in quite some time. read more

Don't use grub hub with this location, too many problems. The food is absolutely worth it! I've never had anything from this location that wasn't amazing! read more

I don't can't explain my anticipation before I arrived. But it began to diminish shortly after . Condom bowl at the door. I ordered the rib plate and a pork chop sandwich. The ribs were had no flavor. The pork chop Sandwich was inch or more thick please get the ones because this could have saved the day. I was really hungry looking forward to eating here. read more

Black Owned Business. COVID19 experience. Called in my order for a 25-30 minute window. Phone rep quoted me prices not on the menu.. I thought that was strange since I picked up the menu before I placed my order. Arrived to pick up my food. There was an error in what they gave me vs what I ordered but they quickly corrected it while I waited. The staff appeared to have a lot of orders coming in so it was quite unorganized but a working system. Fried soul food held up for the car ride home. Food was worth the experience. No restrooms. Pick-up orders no dine in read more

Service was wonderful and short. Lady was very nice :) But it hurts me to say that either today was an off day or angel city is going down hill. - Mac was watery and noodles wayyy over cooked; flavor was good - Red beans & rice was the hottest thing on the plate but under cooked and flavorless. A lot of my beans were still hard. - Oxtails were tender and falling off of the bone, but again the only flavor was the gravy I really don't mean this from a place of hate, my family have came here for years, just not as of lately. As constructive criticism, PLEASE more seasoning. THINGS I DO RECOMMEND: - catfish 9/10 - yams 8.5/10 read more

This review is based only the food we got to go. The catfish tasted like it was cooked it old oil..catfish color was very dark and not a usual catfish color and it tasted kind of off...it's unfortunate because I see others enjoy the food here. read more

Do not order the red beans and rice tasted like they should've been thrown out 4 days ago Catfish tasted like dirt Macaroni is mediocre Baked beans are trash Only thing that saved this two star review was the honey fried wings read more

They have several items on the menu that I enjoy. The service is courteous. They are professional in their packaging and delivery. Never had an error in order. Take out only, but the food is delicious at home! read more

Ordered delivery last night and I'm so happy we did! Food took a lil' bit to get to us but that didn't matter once we got our food everything was amazing! We ordered the BBQ Ribs, BBQ chicken, rice n beans, Mac n Cheese, and banana pudding. True Southern flare. Every dish was great. The ribs were moist and sauced to perfection. The chick was a generous portion and tasty. The service was friendly, and we'll definitely be ordering again read more

Angel City Deli - I'd didn't get a pic of everything but here's a couple of ribs, rice and Mac n cheese. YUM! - Barbeque Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We discovered Angel City Deli today driving down S Renton Ave on our way to I-5. This is a GREAT barbecue place. Very small and mostly for to-go orders but with 2 small tables outside which is where we had our ribs plate and bbq chicken sandwich and coconut pineapple cake. Everything delicious - the ribs meaty and cooked to juicy perfection, excellent baked beans and red beans and rice. And just about the best coconut cake I've ever had! The lady who took our order was super nice and friendly. It's a little place that's well worth checking out! Located in the Skyway business district behind a nail salon. read more

Just had the ox tail, greens, and mac and cheese. Food is absolutely delicious. I love this place.

You won't find a better soul food restaurant in Seattle than Angel City Deli. This is my second time ordering out and it's been 100% delicious both times! It is really hard to find a better soul food take out in Seattle. Bbq chicken juicy and moist perfection. The sauce is a thick smoky and sweet smothered over chicken. Red beans and rice is not spicy and tastes like a classic --you won't forget it. I think I've tasted this Mac N Cheese before...in my DREAMS! Noodles are cooked perfectly and cheese layers hug every noodle. And the greens...every bite is heavenly. My only regret is I didn't call earlier to order dessert... out by the end of the day. Next time! read more

On July 2nd around 7p I ordered a rib sandwich and a snack potato salad. I was horribly disappointed. I was given junk pieces of meat not the bones as they advertise and no bread. The potato salad had extremely large hunks of potatoes, it was lazily constructed. I don't have $15.41 to support black businesses or any other business who clearly gives less than a care and/or lack passion of what they serve to their community. My pics speak for themselves, would you eat this crap? I couldn't and didn't, the meal was just too disgusting. I threw the potato salad in the garbage and gave that disgusting meat to my neighbor's dog. My first and last visit. read more

The service was excellent when Tyreke worked there. The older gentleman is great as well, very nice. But there is a new young lady that works there and she is not sanitary at all!! On one occasion she was preparing someone's food and was hacking. Today I went in to get my order and as she was ringing me up, she started scratching her chest. She then proceeded to grab the meal plate, put my yams on it without washing her hands or using a glove. I kindly took my food and when I got home put it on my sidewalk for the crows to eat. I will not be eating there anymore. I was the customer who ate there at least twice a week. read more

Could be better! The ribs are amazing but the honey bbq for the chicken is just too tangy. The winger yes are perfectly fried but sadly flavorless. read more

Just to begin, I had been warned NOT to give this restaurant any business, however, it's local and upcoming, and I wanted to support them and share my own experience. The reviews are fairly mixed, so you never know, but now I understand the issues. I placed an order online via Yelp for the Saturday - Daily Special: Oxtail Dinner with Rice and Gravy. Shortly afterward, I called to see what the wait time would be since I was working and my lunch break begin in 30 minutes. I was planning on pick-up.... The gentleman that I spoke to informed me that the daily special would be at least a 1 hour wait, Whoa! Okay that was discouragment from the beginning. I've mentioned before, since working in restaurants, I've become accustomed to particular standards. The daily special specifically, should have heavily made preparations ready in advance so disbursement can be done timely and efficiently. There certainly shouldn't be 60 minutes wait times at 2:30 pm. However, I remember they are new, and there's always room for improvement somewhere. I decided to wait for an hour before leaving work to go pick-up my food, and upon arrival the gentleman who I was standing at the counter asked me to wait so he could put my food together. Whoa! Hmm again, I don't understand why my order still isn't ready. They did not seem busy, and I was the only customer in-shop. Now anxious, and hungry I'm having to wait an additional 5-7 minutes until I got my food, and forced to raced back to work Once I got back to work and opened the container and I saw the food, and I admit I was disappointed. The oxtails almost resemble what I imagined canned meat to be the gravy was bland, and obviously not homemade, the rice was extremely over cooked and there were hardly any side of my greens in the tray. Somehow my red beans and rice was switched into a green salad that sat on top of the warm food and absorbed condensation. The food was then almost cold, which confims that it was not made "Fresh"... I felt cheated, and that it was such a waste. Unfortunately, my experience was not a positive one, kind of awful experience actually. I would recommend that you thoroughly examine your food once you finally get it. My original order was placed via Yelp because of incredible photos they have posted, but those photos are not mirroring the quality received. Very misleading! Although I wish this restaurant the best of luck I will not be returning to Angel City Deli read more

Angel City Deli - BBQ Chicken Plate, Collard Greens, Red Beans & Rice - Barbeque Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Best BBQ place I've found in years. I said it on "GrubHub" and I'll say it again, as soon as the very nice person handed me my order, and I smelled the aroma wafting from the bag, I knew without a doubt that this was going to be the REAL THING. I've eaten BBQ in Texas. I've eaten BBQ in the South. This stands up. Easily. My partner is the pickiest person I've ever met when it comes to "wings" or BBQ drumsticks - he was blown away. The ribs were fantastic - meat falling off the bone just like it should be. The catfish was tremendous. Succulent and basically exactly how it's "supposed" to taste - I haven't tasted catfish that good since fish fry parties in Alabama over 2 decades ago. We will definitely order from Angel City Deli again - it's BBQ made in heaven. read more

Angel City Deli - 6 Wingettes Plate - Barbeque Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This food was TRASH! the only thing that was good was the ribs. The Mac was disrespectful and the Red beans and rice . The cat fish basket tasted basic all them fries and 6 little pieces of fish smh the chicken was cooked in the fish grease but was aight needed a little more seasoning. NOW THIS IS WERE I WAS DONE. THE RED VELVET CAKE HAD NO FLAVOR I'm sorry but I could have made this and saved myself the heartache lol I was very disappointed and I waited 40 min for my food. NEVER AGAIN ! TRASHHHHHHHHHHHHHH this is not "SOUL FOOD". Sorry not sorry read more

I paid $20 for THIS. Got it delivered through Yelp/ eat24. It took an hour. Driving distances is 16 mins. This was my first and def my last. THERE WAS HAIR ON MY FRIGGGEN CHICKEN. I love and know good soul food. And let me tell you friends, this ain't it. The greens are generally a little salty. But man, these greens were salt!! The baked beans taste like crap. Annnnnd they forgot the yams, which I'm not too sad about because that probably would have been nasty too. Fries were probably brought from Walmart in the frozen food section. Sooooo disappointed, because I was so excited. Anyone who called this place legit and delicious is clearly on one. Their food taste homemade, but not the good kind. Like your momma doesn't know how to cook but you eat in anyway kind. Oh yea! I called to share my experience and the manager did some cute giggle. Like, I'm glad this is funny to you. Because your food is a joke. She said, "So what, you want a refund?" Ummm.. No I just called to chat. YES OF COURSE I DO. Anyway, I'm trying to save you from the experience I had or at least hope anything like it. I don't care about the good experiences people had. If a place left hair on chicken (I don't even know if it's chicken hair or human hair ) I would not try it! read more

We visited some friends in Renton for a game night and we decided to try this place for delivery using the EAT24 app. We went with the Lil' Mama Sampler (feeds 2-4). The sampler came with 4 rib bones, 2 pieces of chicken, 6 chicken wings, large salad, and our choice of 2 small sides. We went with greens plus red beans and rice, and some extra cornbread muffins. Our food was still warm but not hot. The driver got a little lost but he was able to find it with our host's assistance. I wasn't impressed with either of the side dishes. The rice in the red beans was watery and it lacked spice. The greens were also without zip. We liked the meats though, even though the ribs and chicken had a lot of sauce. Next time I'll remember to specify sauces on the side. I will also call them and make sure that they know where we are, so the driver doesn't drive around with our food. read more

This situation made my wife and I very upset. We came from Auburn to get food from here. On the way we called and ask what kind of oil they use to fry their products in. We were told "i don't know". We asked could she look. She replied "I'm the only one here. I don't have time to go look". My one year old son is allergic to soy and peanuts so we have to ask what oil is being used to fry fries and chicken. We have gone here before with no problems and received great food. But this last situation ...I don't think we will be returning. Like I told the lady on phone "you have lost my business." Great food. Poor customer service. read more

Pros: I like to eat at the restaurant, listen to the R&B, and people watch. The fried food is HOT out of the fryer. It satisfies my desire for fried soul food. Cons: it's kinda expensive and slow. read more

Angel City Deli - Catfish and fries. Medium potato salad - Barbeque Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I love to support small businesses and have done business with Angel City Deli on several occasions as of lately. My dad and I usually go after work and we get food for a family of three. The food has always been great until now. Today when we went there I got my usual which was fried chicken wingettes and Fries. My dad usually gets fried chicken as well but he decided to switch it up and he got bar b que wingettes and two sides. We are hard working people and we like to shower before we eat especially since covid 19 is rampant. My dad showered and heated up his chicken only to bite into his first piece and notice that it was wasn't fully cooked. So he got up in his pajamas, got in the car and took the chicken back to get it replaced. I myself would've asked for my money back but I digress. When he showed the staff his chicken they were very rude and insisted that he didnt get the chicken from there. They see us all of the time in uniform so they know damn well we were there a couple of hours prior. They were really rude and their customer service is full of s***. They also made my dad wait 40 minutes to get his food replaced and there wasnt a crowd at all. We have to wait in the car and they bring the food to you due to covid 19. My dad walked in to ask about his food and the lady at the cash register said "what do you want? close the door" how about we want some chicken that's actually done rude ass? He ended up getting his food and being satisfied but the fact he was treated like that made us upset. Check your food before you leave to make sure it's done or you'll be treated like s*** at the bottom of their shoes. I'll never do business there again. read more

The fish is under cooked and the customer service sucks. I've been there several times and got used to the flat indifference because I'm going for someone else. But the last time the lady taking orders was downright rude. I want to patronize black businesses but sometimes I feel like I'm just not valued. I won't go back. I can fry my own. read more

Food was hot and fresh and very good. Well seasoned and yummy. The catfish was very good and the peach cobbler mmmm phenomenal. Go support this business you will be very happy you tried it. No indoor seating which is ok. But if you want some good soul food this is the place. read more

Y'all. Ribs. Such good ribs. Specials all week long, and home-made-lick your-fingers good. Seriously. Good prices, and sweet people. I found them on Grubhub, but I'll be ordering from their website next time. Real Soul Food in Seattle is rare, and this is a gem! read more

I ordered their "Lil' Mama" package and an order of their Coconut Cake, just be aware that this place takes a while to make the orders. I assume this is due to the online orders, delivery, small kitchen (I only saw 1 cook), small business, etc. After ordering, I was told it would take 30-40 minutes, which it really did. During my waiting time, I saw several people come in to pick up their orders and only 1 person cooking that came out to pass the food orders. The fried chicken wings were one of the best that I've ever had in Seattle, absolutely perfect, meaty, perfectly seasoned, hot in temperature, crispy coating, the sauces were so good too. The spicy bbq ribs were really good, the sauce was definitely perfect ratio of sweet, savory, spice and texture. The ribs were also tender, fall off the bone, but also tender enough to chew and did not fall apart, which is the perfect tenderness to me. Our sides, mac & cheese, was really good, it was the perfect classic mac n cheese. They were out of candied yams, so I substituted for a green salad, which was really refreshing and clean, tasted freshly prepped and chopped. I also ordered a slice of Coconut cake, it came as a tiny whole coconut cake, it was super cute, but this was probably the only downfall of the order, the cake itself was moist and fluffy, but the frosting was too sweet. It was overwhelming the entire cake. Had the sweetness level been 1/3 the amount, the cake would have been perfect. The price was reasonable, it wasn't super high, it wasn't cheap, I got a lot of food for what I paid for and I know supporting local businesses means paying a fair price for that. I will definitely order from here again, it was delicious, staff was friendly. Just prepare to wait a while, order when you're not on crunch time. read more

We had this catered for a meeting of about 45 people and half of the attendees had to order their own lunch it was so bad. We got sandwich party platters that were made with Kraft single cheese and stale bread. Some sandwiches didn't have cheese and literally was just meat and stale bread. One of our companies supplier partners ordered the lunch for us and was not from the area. After looking further into the menu and other reviews, this is a Soulfood restaurant and likely a weird place to buy sandwiches in the first place. The restaurant probably needs to take this option off of their menu. read more

Food is only okay.. but service is atrocious! Probably the worse service I've had EVER.

Such good food! Loved this place so much. They were so nice. The offer a discount for ordering through their website. So much food for the money. When I got there The Chef? Owner? Said it would be 10 minutes because he didn't want to fry the catfish until I got there. Waited maybe 4 minutes and we got it. lOVE the catfish, ribs and Mac and cheese. Will be ordering again. read more

I was quoted 20 mins but exited 35 mins for a rib plate. The ribs were flavorless, did not taste like they came off the grill and the sauce was watered down. The side of Mac n Cheese and yams were a very small portion. I won't be back. Also note the King County food safety rating was only good not great. read more

Angel City Deli - Barbeque Near Me - Seattle, Washington

So far I've tried the wingettes and the whole honey fried chicken wings . The first time I ordered through the yelp app they called me about 40 minutes after my order was confirmed to tell me they didn't have anyone to deliver . So they gave me a managers number , who was very kind and sweet . I got my food 40 minutes later .. We had ordered ribs , honey barbecue wingettes and whole honey fried chicken . I really enjoyed how crispy and flavorful the whole wings were and the wingettes . The ribs I didn't try because I assume they were pork but my daughter liked them . Cornbread was a little bit dry and greens were not too bland but nothing that amazed me . Today I tried calling the restaurant and was put on hold for 10 minutes then tried calling back because my phone died and phone kept going to voicemail for 30 minutes . I couldn't leave a message because their voicemail was full . We couldn't order over the phone so we went in and waited close to 15 minutes to order . We ordered a litttle before 6 and they had just called (7:50) to tell us our food is leaving the restaurant and is on its way . Hopefully it gets here soon . From what I've tried and reviews I've seen the food quality is great but food timing is a little too long for this to be a regular spot for me . If it didn't take so long this would be our weekly go to . Food is great , staff are very kind but just the timing .... read more
