Just a sweet little update for my favorite restaurant in Charlotte, if not the entire Southern East…read moreCoast. On every visit to Charlotte, I stop here 2-3 times, whether it's to meet up with friends and colleagues for lunch, to grab a quite bite before evening plans, to spend happy hours and dinners on that delightful back patio or to pick up that insane vegan dessert I've been craving. I mean, can it get any better than a spread of vegan elote corn, nachos smothered with beans, seitan, guac/queso/crema or my new favorite, the crunch wrap with a glass of something icy cold (I usually get a glass of something sparkling at the back bar). Since my last review almost 5 years ago, they sadly removed the matcha cruffin (that I still can't get out of my head!) and added in an entire display of sugary/spicy/chocolatey greatness (I'm still kicking myself for being too late on my way to the airport to get that lemon bar I'd been eying or the pumpkin BUNDT CAKE, ffs. What is wrong with me?) The sweetest owners, the loveliest staff from front counter to back bar to food runners and bussers. I adore Oh My Soul with every ounce of my being.

As many other reviewers have said, I really wanted to like this place but the overall experience…read morewas rough. Service was REALLY bad. You order and get your table number at the counter. Person taking our order was rude. Asked what he would recommend as a side given that we'd never been to the restaurant before. He just listed off all the sides and appeared annoyed by the question. We finished our order and he then cancels the tip screen and I didn't know why. He asks if I want a receipt and I say sure. Then I notice that they have an automatic "service charge" of 15% that isn't advertised anywhere in the restaurant. I'm not necessarily against restaurants doing this but it should be advertised. Also, you should have service if you're going to charge a "service charge." Our service consisted of a counter order and then someone who eventually brought out our food. Water was never even refilled. Vibe of everyone that worked there was angry and aggravated. Multiple people scowled at me walking through the dining room from the kitchen. One worker threw open the kitchen door obviously pissed about something. Everyone in the restaurant was waiting forever for their food and other tables would have one entree come out while the other person at the table waited another 15 minutes for their food. Food was nothing special. My wife liked her Mother Earth bowl which is why I'm giving two stars. My chicken sandwich was something out of a frozen box. Hush puppies and onion rings were standard. We only had water to drink. All of this cost us $54.20 total. Anymore this feels like a standard experience in an American restaurant unless you do someplace high end. Ok food, terrible value, terrible service, and junk fees. Like they're doing you a favor just being there. All of this for a restaurant that, as the walls show, is trying to convince you to become vegan. This won't do it guys. Do better if you really care about bringing people to your cause.

The food here is excellent and definitely lives up to the restaurant's name! I ordered the lamb…read morechops with fried okra, mac and cheese, yams, and cornbread, and everything was delicious. Every side was flavorful, and the meal came together really well. My only minor wish is that they gave a few more lamb chops, but I understand that may not be possible unless you order a double portion. Even so, I left satisfied and would absolutely order it again. One thing to know before you go: you'll place your order on one of the self-service kiosks inside. There are signs letting you know which kiosk to use. After ordering, you'll wait for your name to be called. If you're not there when your order is ready, they'll place your food in a pickup locker for you to retrieve, which is a nice convenience. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you're craving some flavorful soul food.

Delicious! We were in town and wanted to try something new. Taste of Soul is located in a takeout…read morefood hall. I love that there is seating inside the hall in case you want to hang around and eat. There are also different restaurants in the food hall as well so there is something for everyone ranging from Indian, Thai, and Costa Rican cuisine. Each shop allows you to order from the kiosk and will bring your food out when it is ready. If you place a pick up order it will be in one of the lox boxes waiting on you to pick up. Now to the food! I looked at the menu previously and knew i wanted to try the ribs. I also ordered the mac and cheese and black eyed peas as sides. The meal comes with rice and their vegetable of the day which happened to be collard greens that day. To finish the meal I ordered the housemade hibiscus tea. It took about 10-15 minutes or so for everything to be ready and it was brought out by one of the lovely owners (forgot to grab her name). She was so sweet and came back out to check on me mid meal. Everything was so good. I haven't had ribs in over a decade so that was such a nostalgic taste to me. It had the chargrill taste and everything and that sauce was so good! The "rib" meat had a great taste as well and I enjoyed the meaty texture. The fixins were all really good. The macaroni was nice and seasoned so were black eyed peas, collard greens, and rice. Truly tasted like a plate from an auntie's house. I'm already plotting my next trip to Charlotte so I can make my way back over here. We spotted a handful of vegan spots in the Charlotte area but I am so glad we went with this one.

Everything was safe and tasted amazing. We didn't have to think twice about ordering, and it was well worth the money. Service is a 10/10. Very personable and kind, it made dining even more enjoyable. Food came out promptly and was HOT and very fresh! The atmosphere was so relaxing, too. It's a small dining area with soft lighting, making it very intimate. Nothing was overly loud or distracting and they encourage putting phones away, which adds to engaging with your party. In short, it felt like we could fully breathe and just enjoy our dinner. No worries or distractions in sight! We completely reccomend this place and bought the cookbook before leaving, because I was that good. P.S. Try the ravioli! It is a amazing!

She makes the best soups and vegan Mac and Cheese. During the month of January, I do the Daniel Fast for 21 days and a lot of her items have the ingredients that are ok for the fast. This gives you more of a variety during the fast with your fruits, vegetables, grains, and potatoes. Also, she has a wide variety of jams and jellies, I purchase the no sugar added grape jelly and its delicious. The sweetness comes from the fruit juice so it keeps its natural flavor. This is also another item that I can enjoy during my Daniel Fast. Aside from the fresh fruits, vegetables, dishes, soups, spreads, and more Beverly and Dale are great people. They are so kind and very helpful, I reached out to Beverly for assistance with a local basket I was creating for work. She researched ideas with me and provided great options with local vendors here in Charlotte. I highly recommend Beverly's Gourmet Foods which is locations in the Mecklenburg Farmers Market store.

Okay, Romeo's Vegan Burgers...WHAT are y'all putting in this food?!…read more I'm visiting Charlotte and decided to give Romeo's a try, and when I tell you the food was BEYOND delicious. I mean every single bite delivered. The burger was flavorful, satisfying, perfectly put together, and honestly one of those meals where you stop mid-bite and think, "Wait...this is VEGAN?!" And apparently the best review I can give is this: I'm going back TODAY. Yep. Two days in a row. I had other options. Charlotte has plenty of restaurants. But my taste buds said, "Girl, turn that car around and go back to Romeo's." So here we are! As someone who eats vegan, I especially appreciate a place that doesn't treat plant-based food like an afterthought. This wasn't "good for vegan food." This was just GOOD FOOD. Periodt. Romeo's, you officially have a fan. If you're in Charlotte...vegan, vegetarian, curious, or a committed meat eater...GO. Get the burger. Eat the fries. Live your life. 10/10 -- and clearly I mean it, because I'm already on my way back!
