    If you're ever in the Portsmouth area and have a craving for soul food, try B's SoulFull!…read more While here I noshed on Pig-feet, collards and potato salad for 16.00. Everything was so good. Seasoned just right. I also had the fried shrimp. Plump and fresh! Most entrees run 16.00 with 2 sides. The owner and chef is adorably friendly and welcoming. Ambiance is standard dine in restaurant with light music.

    Good day family! Upon walking in I was greeted by "Welcome…read moreto B's Soulful" which happens to be the owner. The ambiance was a more of a layed back vibe.It has setting for 2-3 people. As the music played which was a mix of Afro beats and neo soul . I had to make my order. There's a quick menu on the counter that you can choose from. To pay is by cash,cash app or the QR code . The Menu : Fish,fried Chicken with the option of (gravy on it) pig feet, pork chop baked chicken. Sides: Mac and cheese Collard greens Potato salad Green beans Yams This was a hard choice between the chicken and the fish(whitening).I went with the fish,collard greens and Mac and cheese. Family when I tell you it's like grandma Sunday dinner and Thanksgiving mix in one. Fish was seasoned to perfection, Mac and cheese just right, the greens were so good. The owner was very warm and welcoming. She has dedicated her restaurant to her father. She was passionate about feeding and spreading the love of her food to others. If you are in the area check them out. You will not be disappointed. **bonus she offers catering and is bringing cat fish to the menu** Customer service: 5 Food: 5 Dinning area: 5 Parking: 5 it's in a pretty spacious area for parking.

    I've eaten at JEM's several times. I love the Cabbage and Macaroni and Cheese these items are the…read moreBEST. Pros: Cooked to order and Large portions of food Cons: They don't always pick the phone for the calling orders. The long wait sometimes The customer-facing staff is slow sometimes putting the orders in the bags. The Food: Fried Chicken: Overall good (a couple of times a little burnt) Turkey Wings: Pretty good, a large portion Whiting Fish: Just okay - Would not order again Chicken and Dumplings: Extremely salty - Would not order again Cabbage and Collards: I order this all the time, very good especially the cabbage. Yams: It is good if you like very sweet yams. Macaroni and Cheese: A must-buy so delicious! Potato Salad: This is truly a hit or miss for me. Sometimes it has a hint of vinegar and that makes the potato salad taste sour.

    I fully support Black-owned businesses, but that support should not come at the expense of good…read morecustomer service. Regardless of the challenges a business may be facing, customers come in expecting to feel welcomed and to receive the product or service they're paying for. Everyone understands that mistakes can happen, but how those mistakes are handled makes all the difference. Customers should be treated with courtesy, respect, and appreciation. A positive experience encourages people to return and recommend the business to others, while poor service can quickly lead to negative word-of-mouth. I wish I could have experienced that level of hospitality myself, because I truly wanted to support the business. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing, and it reinforced how important customer service is. Great customer service is one of the strongest ways any business can build trust, loyalty, and long-term success.

    We had a great experience overall! We ordered the catfish with several different sides so we could…read moretry a variety of dishes, along with both the fried and smothered turkey chops. Everything came out fresh, piping hot, and full of flavor. The food was definitely the highlight, and I would absolutely come back for it. I also ordered a cocktail, which was just okay. The customer service was friendly and attentive. The only downside was the seating. We tried multiple tables because each one was pretty wobbly, and even after moving, the other tables we tried had the same issue. The ambiance also wasn't really my style, but that comes down to personal preference. Overall, the delicious food and good service made it a worthwhile visit.

    Came in on a Tuesday around 6 PM, and it wasn't very busy…read more I ordered the ribs with collard greens, mac and cheese, and cornbread. The ribs were...just okay, which is surprising because I've honestly never had ribs that were just okay. They brushed barbecue sauce on top, but the underside of the ribs was pretty dry. It felt a little stingy with the sauce. The collard greens weren't bad, but they were saltier than I prefer. I also would have loved a little vinegar, though I know that's a matter of personal taste. The mac and cheese looked amazing when it came out, but unfortunately it didn't live up to the appearance. It was underseasoned and lacked the rich, savory flavor I was expecting. This is a soul food restaurant, so I expected a mac and cheese that was bold, cheesy, and full of flavor. Instead, it tasted very mild--almost like it was seasoned for kids. The cornbread was also a miss for me. I'm honestly not sure what all the other reviews are raving about. It didn't really taste like traditional cornbread, but it also didn't have the sweet, cake-like texture that some restaurants go for. It kind of landed somewhere in between, and it just didn't work for me. I wouldn't order it again. Our server, Kiya, was friendly but only moderately attentive. One of my biggest dining pet peeves happened at the end of the meal: she asked if we wanted to-go boxes, brought them out, and then disappeared without bringing the check. If guests are asking for boxes, that's usually a pretty good sign they're ready to leave. Reading the room goes a long way. Overall, nothing was terrible, but nothing really stood out either. It was just a pretty average experience. I left feeling underwhelmed, especially given the reputation and the expectations that come with a soul food restaurant. I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to come back.
