On the way to an event and thought I would grab me a quick bite. I ordered 9 Chicken Wings (all flats) macaroni & cheese, fried okra, 2 pieces of white loaf bread, & a raspberry lemonade. I got the hot honey sauce on the side. There was a 15 minuter wait for my food, however EVERYTHING WAS HOT (temperature wise)! I was able to make 2 meals out of my plate! If I'm ever in the area, I'm stopping by and having a plate! read more

If you're not going to be open on a Sunday, can customers please be informed ahead of time instead of not saying anything? I was really looking forward to eating here after church on Sunday (5/31/26), so it was disappointing to find out you were closed without notice. I understand things happen, but updating your hours online or making an announcement on social media would really help customers avoid wasting a trip. Hopefully communication improves moving forward because I was genuinely excited to try the food. read more

What I recommend: Lemon pepper wings, yam souffle, baked mac and cheese, turkey and pinto beans, and banana pudding. Let's Eat Soul Food might look unassuming, but it's some of the best southern food in Durham. The portions are big, prices are great, and every bite tastes homemade. It reminds me of my grandma's cooking. I've eaten here plenty of times and never take photos because I can't wait to dig in. This place is a true gem. read more

The food is real good, but this is the second time they didn't give me what I ordered forgot my collards. I live hours from this place. The first time I ordered a fish dinner with collards and Mac and cheese. They forgot to put the fish in there. This is not a cheap place to eat. read more

Was close to this location and called in an order. We got the wing combo with a side of turkey collards and a fried fish sandwich. The food was ready when we got there and the line moved quickly. The place was very small inside but the staff were nice. The fried chicken and collards were good but they could have kept that overly fried fish. read more

Came across this place last night via yelp of course, as i was looking for something to eat at almost 10 pm. This was only 5 minutes from where i was so i decided to give it a try because i love wings. It is placed in a shopping center. You have to walk up, as it is legit a window and order your food. There was a slight line that moved fairly quickly. They have soul food and typical late night eats options. I ordered the 6 wing entree (hot honey) with fries, and a peach lemonade, and my sister ordered the whiting entree with collard greens. The wings were pretty good as the flavor was there. The fries were not good at all. The whiting was very tiny compared to most I've seen and lacked flavor. The greens were super salty. The menu has so much potential, but the execution just wasn't there. The hushpuppies were not it. The peach lemonade, however, was amazing lol. I would've given at least one more star, but my sister got someone else's order and we had to wait a while for her actual food to be remade, as I'm sure it was given to someone else. read more

All the food is delicious. The fried chicken, flounder fish, pork chops, macaroni n cheese, collard greens cabbage and pinto beans so good.

Wonderful service! I picked up lunch for my wife and I last Tuesday and it was fantastic! Large portions, wonderful flavor, and quick service. It was amazing how clean everything was and I felt welcomed like family. I will definitely be making this a regular treat! Down home delicious cooking at reasonable prices! Love it! Love it! Love it! read more

This place was ok. I had the meatloaf with rice and hush puppies. Small portions for what they charge. That meatloaf was good. read more

Y'all...this is the spot. I think I searched for "open late" while I was near BK and this place came up right down the street. There wasn't anything but the menu and a 2009 Google StreetView for a picture, but the parent restaurant being called "Let's Eat Soulfood" and them having a chili cheeseburger on the menu, I had to check them out. I think it was about 11:00 at night when I pulled up. It's in a relatively dark parking lot, but they have lights along the storefront. If you're from the suburbs, it might sketch you out some; but I'm telling you -- it's worth it. This is not fast food by any means. It's made-to-order, so it might be a minute to get yours if there's people who ordered ahead of you. I think they take call-ins, but I won't be the one to promise you that it makes anything happen quicker. Despite that, it's also to be expected; from the curb, it looked like they only had 1+1 working. Patience is a virtue. Bro at the window was cool. Polite, and was a good host. Now, the food: I don't know what I was really expecting, trying a chili cheeseburger from a hole-in-the-wall spot -- but what I can tell you is that the flavor was on point. Yesterday I wouldn't have told you I was a fan of a chili cheeseburger, but I would today. I'll have to come back and try some of the other things on their menu I thought were interesting; but if I gotta have a go-to while I'm working in Durham, I'd definitely grab another chili cheeseburger. read more

Made to order with really short wait times, I would hardly recommend this restaurant if you got a taste for great soul food! Great service with a half dozen tables to sit at right there on Fayetteville and Burlington I forgot vinegar on my greens. lol read more

I picked up a Togo order here and it was delicious. They do have indoor seating and a parking lot. had an oxtail plate and Oreo cake on Caribbean Sunday. I think that prices are decent for the portions served. I can't speak too much on service since I ordered pickup, but our order was ready when we arrived. read more

I ordered baked lemon pepper chicken wings via Uber Eats, what I got was NOTHING like the picture on the app. I got BBQ chicken wings, not lemon pepper, and greasy collards and cabbage. The hushpuppies was also very greasy and tasteless. I called to inform them I had gotten the incorrect order, only to have the phone answered by someone stating this is Wendy's (not funny), I attempted to explain that my order was incorrect only to have him say we don't sell BBQ today, I tried again and he then said yeah that's baked chicken. I again tried to say that I had ordered lemon pepper wings, only to get another stupid answer! I wasted my money and I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THIS GREASY, ARTERY CLOGGING PALCE AGAIN!! read more

*This review applies strictly to the Sunday Caribbean menu* I'm slowly morphing into my mother, what does that mean? We eat mostly homemade meals and we have a more particular palette. With that being said, on this particular Sunday, we decided to revisit this location which we absolutely adored on a previous visit. While the food was good, it did not come close to our previous soul food experience (in comparison to cost and flavor). We ordered the curry chicken plate and jerk plate. While we found the curry chicken to be spiced mildly and flavorful (and the best option, in our opinion), the green beans were too salty, rice undercooked, and jerk chicken dry. For the price, we were exceptionally disappointed ($50+ with dessert and drinks). However we've had such a good experience in the past we are looking forward to trying again in the future. Caribbean restaurant: 3.5 read more

Their food is bomb. I never had fried okra with so much flavor and crisp to perfection. Cornbread was like heaven. My whole order was $16 and it's enough for lunch and dinner. The restaurant itself has a lot of seating so even when it's rush hour you'll probably find a seat. Definitely get the cornbread. read more

The food was so good that I had to check to make sure that my grandmother was not in the kitchen! There's always a wait and that's because the food is cooked fresh or semi fresh. The only reason I gave four stars instead of five is because I went on the Caribbean Sunday and the rice and peas Were less than flavorful more hot and spicy than flavorful and it was definitely overcooked. As someone from the Caribbean, I'm very picky about my rice. read more

Too much sugar and too much salt. Never had sugar in green beans, not a fan and the salt in the semi crispy wings was overpowering. First and last. read more

Place not open at 7:30 pm, when hours are until 3am. Change hours online to specify most current hours.

Soul food is my favorite kind of food! I don't come here often but when I do I feel like I am at home. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food is gooood! Each day they have a different special. I love their chicken and dumplings, candied yams and collards! The cook cooks with love and you can taste it in each bite. The inside is small but comforting. There is plenty of parking and the prices are very affordable read more

Hi, i placed a huge order from the hospital, i was first in line when they opened today on Juneteenth, trying to support a black owned business, well the first issue is the chicken was cooked in old grease and cooked so hard it cooked out the flavor, i had got charged extra for all flats on one order and received the mix, the sides were equal to what i would serve my toddler 3 year old granddaughter,lemon pepper wings were dry and couldn't taste the lemon pepper because it was like a sprinkle on them from the lemon pepper shaker. One order the greens taste like grass, no flavor or seasoning.The price didn't equal the serving amount, unfortunately being on the time clock for work, i could not go back up there about these issues but, this is my second and last time eating there. read more

Food consistently good...a lot of the dishes taste homemade, including the turkey wings and sides like cabbage, yams and greens. Service is quick and efficient. Solid 4.5 for food and service. read more

Unreal. Perfectly seasoned, had the hamburger steak with gravy & rice, collards, and sweet potato souffle. Gravy had just the right amount of salt to really hit. Collards were not at ALL fatty but you can taste the pork. Delicious. Will be back! read more

I've been a few times now and this is so far the best soul food I've tried in the area. I've tried their fried fish, fried chicken, collards, cabbage, yams, banana pudding, and strawberry lemonade. The food can take a while to come but it's worth it. If you're worried about timing, order online and it will be ready by the time you get there. I've also gotten 15% off coupon codes from ordering online as well. Let's eat is located near NCCU in the shopping center next to checkers. There is seating for you to enjoy your food there or you can take it home. As far as the food is concerned the seasoning is perfect. Not too salty and just what you would expect from a soul food spot. They have a huge assortment of puddings as well that are really good. I would recommend trying those as well and the cornbread is really good. read more

I wish I could give a review of just the service and not the food but the treatment of customers will leave a bad taste in your mouth. I cannot stand supporting local black-owned businesses who treat their customers poorly - what do you gain from this? The food is great, but not worth how nasty the staff are. There are plenty of other soul food restaurants who treat their guests with love and respect - this establishment needs to get it together or hire better staff. read more

We really enjoyed the soul food! They had a variety of food items and several types of desserts. The food was hot, fresh and delicious! The young lady at the register was very pleasant, knowledgeable about the food, patient and friendly to everyone that entered into the restaurant. It was a pleasure eating at "Let's Eat Soul Food" in Durham, NC. Great food, great service, good prices and a wonderful experience! read more

I live 3 hrs away (thank God) because otherwise I would eat there everyday! Clean, quick, and fresh,hot food! Actually making a trip back this weekend!! read more

This is my 2nd and last time going here. i won't speak on my first experience very much because I wanted to give it another try. The food is ok it was cooked to order but each time the customer service bad well at least not good enough to charge those prices... after my experience today I will not return. read more

Food was good. I got the fried flounder with Mac & cheese and pinto beans with turkey. Not a long wait and the staff was very friendly.

My husband picked me up a Turkey Wing Dinner what a big rip off they give you one wing and a small piece of half of a tip underneath for the price this is definitely not worth it this owner should be ashamed of herself.On top of that it does not taste good and the instant rice has a heavy instant rice taste the not so good gravy does not help The Mac and Cheese is pure garbage it taste like straight up Velveeta that is it My Goodness black owned Soul Food Restaurants in North Carolina you definitely gotta do better the food in NC is garbage.I got the Hamburger Steak with Gravy from this place a few weeks ago I had to trash it the meat is so firm and tight you can't even cut it with a fork and it has a weird taste I am fairly new to North Carolina been here 1 1/2 years the food is awful in North Carolina from the miminum Soul Food Restaurants to the terrible pizza,we have tried many restaurants here this State sucks when it come to good food.I know natives flock here and other Soul Food Spots because this is all they have North Carolina has not caught up with the wonderful delicious Soul Food like in New Orleans..Texas..Georgia..Alabama.. Mississippi or Virginia the BBQ even sucks here in NC all the food does read more

I like their food mostly and Sunday was my first time trying their Caribbean food. It was good but I need them to work on their portion sizes,smh. I got oxtails, rice and peas and cabbage it was 18.00. I only got 4 small oxtails that were mostly bones. The plate that I received should have only been 10 to 12 dollars max. To me even though their regular meals are good,yall need to work on the portions. read more

The first time I ate off this truck, was at the VA in Durham. It was so good, the fried chicken wings are delicious. $11.00, I got 4 whole chicken wings, yes that was eight chicken wings, and a huge serving of two sides, so much food I could not close the lid. The very next Friday, I order the same thing, this time the chicken wings were a lot smaller, but ok I still got eight wings and normal serving of the two sides. The third time, they just gave me four wings, and two sides. The fourth time, well let's just say... I won't go back. Too bad, the food was good but the quality of food went down. read more

I recently visited this amazing food truck and I must say, I was quite impressed with the quality of food and service I received. The food was cooked to order and reasonably priced. I'm surprised to be the first review but more than honored to post. The baked chicken is the best I've ever had in my entire life. The chicken salad is delicious! The porkchop is fried to perfection. The mac n cheese, yam souffle, and collards are out of this world. You can call ahead to order if you're in a rush. They also have catering! The lemonade is super sweet and yummy. If you ever see the truck, stop and try them. You will not be disappointed. read more
