The food was delicious, I will definitely return. There was no line to order when I arrived, but we were directed to order at a kiosk since they were short staffed up front. The young man at the counter was very busy but kind and I could see the workers in the kitchen working hard as well. The ambiance was typical for a fast casual restaurant. Some people grabbing takeout orders, delivery app workers doing pickups, and dine in patrons at tables. There were seating options for couples as well as groups. I definitely do recommend and will return next time I'm in the area.

( I also ordered tea) I tried again with some friends. Today was the first time I've been inside and actually sat down. Once you order, they ask for your name and then serve your table by calling your name. It's cute. As for the food... I ordered the fried chicken with potato salad, dressing and cornbread and peach cobbler. My chicken looked good, but tasted a little dry. Maybe it was just being under a light for a bit. I visited in the evening. Who knows? My potato salad was a bit bland, and I was hoping for some pickle relish mixed in. (If you know, you know.) I'm not a fan of cobbler, but I thought I'd give it a shot. They also had apple cobbler, which I should have stuck with. I can't tell you how the cornbread dressing was. When I got home they forgot to pack it. I don't think I'll be back, but it's a nice place to sit and chat with others while they enjoy their meals.

As soon as you walk in, you can smell the amazing dishes and you can literally feel the love they put on each plate as they serve the guests. I almost don't want to share this review for fear that the line may get longer but this restaurant is now one of the few that I recommend you go out of your way to try and enjoy. Their menu is classically simple but made with an abundance of care and no shortcuts in their cooking. As you are seated you are welcome to place your order in the front of the glass display, they cook everything in house and sometimes they run out of the specials so don't sleep on getting there on time. We ended up getting their lunch specials and picked one main and two sides. I know my girl loves Ox Tails and ended up getting the last plate with some candied yams and Mac and cheese. Let me tell you, we cleaned the plate and it was finger licking good!!! The jerk ribs were amazingly tender and fall off the bone. All of the sides were well portioned and absolutely flawless. Don't come here if you're on a diet there is only one way to enjoy this restaurant and it's to just dive in. FYI - you will need a nap after your meal. This place just hits your tastebuds differently; it doesn't just leave an impression, its mind shattering good. You will sing after the meal - happy dancing the whole time as you're eating.

Customer service is 5 stars and phenomenal…read more But I'm here to talk about the food. I wanted to love it so much especially since TikTok critic/MMA fighter Keith Lee visited them in 2023, but my experience was not like his. I want to say that online reviews are almost about accurate. They were out of cold salads and collard greens which was an issue for other customers at times as well. No problem, they were super helpful and offered an alternative but not a good one. I had steamed vegetables that mashed in my mouth like mashed potatoes when I took a bite. I did end up going to another spot for collard greens and potato salad because you can't have soul-food without that. I had the rib dinner with mac n cheese and yams and a tiny piece of complimentary cornbread. The ribs definitely taste amazing but they don't take off the membrane in the back which is slimy and gross. I left that part behind. The yams were sweet and good BUT.....that mac n cheese is NOT soul-food Mac n cheese. Here's the thing I figured out, they use such little cheese but season the noodles very well that you don't truly notice unless you love mac n cheese, which I do, so I noticed it lacked so much cheese but had seasoned noodles. The rib dinner was a 3/5 because ribs were great but sides needed help. I had rice and peas as an additional side and fried wings. The wings were ATROCIOUS! I ate the smallest one and didn't eat the rest. How can you serve such huge feathered wings like that? It was a nightmare. The feathers being on it turned me off. This tells me they don't make their food with care, they move quick to be one and done and I want my food cooked with love and care. They were also frozen wings that were thawed and seasoned, I know the difference. The rice and peas were okay 3/5 as well. Overall the food was not worth the hype. Customer service was beautiful for sure but the food was not it.

My partner ordered the steak omelet with cheese grits, and the grits were probably the best thing we had, I'd give them an 8.5/10.

Southern Comfort in the Heart of Brooklyn…read more If you're craving true Southern soul food in Brooklyn, this hidden gem is worth every minute you spend circling for a parking spot. Located near Vanderbilt and Atlantic Avenue, this spot delivers that down-home flavor that's hard to find in the city. We ordered the catfish, potato salad, okra and tomatoes, fried chicken, mac & cheese--and let me tell you, every bite hit the spot. The portions were generous, and I was so full I didn't even get a chance to try the peach cobbler that everyone keeps raving about. But you better believe I'm saving room for it next time. The customer service was just as impressive as the food. From the moment we walked in, it felt like home. I had a warm, genuine conversation with the husband, and it honestly felt like chatting with my grandfather back down South. The ambiance matches the vibe--simple, old-school Southern charm that adds to the experience. If you're in Brooklyn and craving soul food that feeds both your stomach and your spirit, don't miss this place. Just bring your appetite--and maybe a little patience for the parking!

*CASH ONLY ALERT* I…read morewas really excited to try Mitchell's Soul Food after passing them by several times and reading several rave reviews. I stopped in today to take food for work and I am currently sooo disappointed. I ordered a meatloaf dinner. Here we go... The meatloaf was dried out, definitely stretched with breadcrumbs and completely void of flavor. I asked for gravy all over. I guess they didn't hear me. The macaroni was bland and colorless and the cheese was missing! This mac had all the flavor of a hospital meal that was prepped for a patient on a salt free, seasoning free, flavor free diet. The collard greens tasted frozen maybe??? No specks of meat or flavor of any kind. Mitchell's Soul Food is CASH ONLY and it was nearly empty when I arrived. I can see why. I am unabashedly greedy and also not big on wasting money so I forced it down. Every bite made me sad. The only kinda/sorta "pro" was the low price. Still not worth it. Never again!

I also got a side order of just the BBQ ribs as well and found that the portions were very generous and the price was a steal!!! The oxtails were tender and the Mac n Cheese was solid and the Cabbage also was seasoned well. Flavor wise, I am a little particular as my all-time favorite Jamaican food spot was back in Boston but this was definitely a strong contender. The BBQ ribs were on the sweeter end and were not my personal favorite. The cornbread was a bit dry but coupled with the meal it worked out once incorporated. Overall, the next time I'm back I would love to try the rest of the dishes as they have a lot of great options at a super fair price point!!! Definitely check it out!

The rice was soggy, the gravy had an unpleasant taste, and the overall appearance of the food was a complete turn‑off. The portions were very small, some items were burnt, and even the cornbread portions were tiny. When I saw what they claimed was a peach cobbler, I was shocked. It looked more like a pastry stacked with peach slices straight from the can. Nothing about it looked homemade, and it was just as unappetizing as the rest of the meal.
