The seafood boils are definitely the star here. Our go-to is #6 and is definitely big enough to feed two! We also enjoy the seafood bread -- it was rich and flavorful, and the perfect appetizer to kick off the meal. The atmosphere is casual and fun, with an eclectic vibe that doesn't take itself too seriously. Part of the charm is the ability for guests to sign their names or doodle on the walls -- it gives the place a laid-back, community feel. I mean, did you even go if you don't grab a marker? Do yourself a favor....GO!

Cuddy's Soul Food is located inside…read moreof Lawrence Food Hall and if you want more information about that you can check out my review for them. From Cuddy's soul food I ordered a pork soul roll and a steak and cheese soul roll. I started out with the smaller of the two which ended up being the pork roll. It was a bit on the greasy side but the flavor was good. It was very porky and I appreciated the collard greens which cut through the pork and then the sweet potatoes which added a bit of sweetness. Then the steak and cheese roll is what you would expect. Lots of steak and cheese with a hint of peppers which made it a very tasty roll. Then I would I be remiss to not mention the sauce which was sweet and spicy and absolutely delicious. I enjoyed dipping both rolls into it and imagine I would like it on just about anything. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I thought that both of my rolls here were good, albeit greasy, and I would be interested in trying some of their ribs in the future.

I ordered the 4-piece chicken wing dinner thinking that full-size wings and two sides would be enough food. I was wrong. The wings were about 50% as large as I expected, leaning closer to what I would order by the dozen at any sports bar. My friend's 4-piece chicken tender meal had noticeably more meat and even cost less. Which was very disappointing because the wings were delicious! Perfectly fried with a textured, well-seasoned skin and juicy meat inside. My side of candied yams was fine; the sauce was too watery to stick, but it was sweet enough and the yams were cooked acceptably. My side of macaroni & cheese was flat-out inedible. The noodles were boiled/baked into mushy oblivion with no detectable texture. The cheese sauce had separated both from the noodles and from itself, into grainy lumps and oil. It was repulsive and should never have left the kitchen. After I housed my wings and yams, I was still famished. I quickly ordered a batch of chicken tenders to satisfy my craving, and they were delightful. Juicy, well-spiced and the perfect amount of breading. Cuddy's chicken comes with dipping sauce included, but only two flavors are free and the rest are $1.00 surcharge. Which is odd, because these premium choices are relatively standard wing flavors like "tangy gold" (BBQ), garlic parmesan, and spicy BBQ. Overall, I was disappointed. I might return now that I know what (not) to order, but I would never go out of my way for what is a roll of the dice on food quality.

First off, it wasn't clear to me until I got there that this was takeout only. Yelp has separate…read moreentries for Carmi Soul Food and Carmi Express, and I thought they were separate outlets. That it was takeout only presented a dilemma for me, as I was just visiting the North Side for the day by bus and foot, and had no place to take my order. Of the two people behind the counter, one could not have cared less about my dilemma, but the other was of some help with this and my order. I wound up walking two blocks downhill to a park with benches. Second, that all orders are cooked to order and take 25 minutes. Fortunately there is a branch of the Pittsburgh Public Library across the street and it was open, so that occupied my time. The food: the chicken and catfish are fried in light crispy breading, very fine. The chicken wingettes were delicious. The catfish was not easily flaked and was ever so slightly rubbery, which would have been a very bad sign if it had been any more so. But it wasn't too bad. Green beans are a good side dish at this sort of joint, and these were good, seasoned with meat and sautéed onions mixed in. The white rice was entirely plain but tasty.

The service is also super quick and the workers are so inviting and friendly! I've only ever had positive interactions and experiences with them! I really hope that they get more business, because they really do deserve it so much with how delicious their food is. Highly recommend!!!

I got to try out their catfish sandwich, sweet potato pie, and the cornbread. The catfish sandwich was very tasty. Simple, cheap, but very nice. The fish seemed to be quite fresh. It was seasoned an adequate amount. The sandwich bun was pretty standard but solid. I will say they don't include anything on their sandwiches besides the fish, though, so that might be a bit of a drawback. A sauce might have been nice. The sweet potato pie was interestingly packaged but tasted quite nice. I believe it is homemade. Great texture, almost creamy in a way. Perfect balance of sweetness. The cornbread came in a really nice portion, but it was kind of just average. Not too flavorful, and for me, it was too crumbly. Not bad, just not great or memorable to me. All in all, I enjoyed this place. I really like how they leave prayer notes/verses with the packaging as well. It's a very nice touch. The food was also quite good. Nice fish and desserts are solid too.
