First of all, the looks from outside are very deceiving. It has plenty of room inside, is clean,…read moreand nicely decorated. There is an area for seating outside and what looks like a banquet room for large groups. The service was wonderful. Our server, Cheyenne, was very friendly and took very good care of us. She answered all our questions about the various dishes and sauces (some may be hot) and was very attentive the entire time we were there. We ordered the Sailor's Boil, which came with crab legs, shrimp, lobster, potatoes, and corn. The sauce was delicious, as was all the seafood and sides. We had a piece of strawberry cheesecake for a birthday dessert, which was also delicious. Be prepared to be messy and to work for your food (cracking the shells). I would highly recommend visiting for a nice night out.

If you have any type of food allergies do not go here…read more Asked if they had anything on the menu without dairy and was told 'I don't know'. Can you go ask someone. Came back and gave a few options. Asked about the hush puppies on my plate - could not tell me what was in them. Was told they come already prepared. Then I look at the salad covered in cheese. I told her that cheese is definitely dairy. Why would I have cheese on my salad. That she could actually kill me. She laughed. I don't eat out a lot because of allergies. But I have never had to go through such as this before. I paid 20.00 for food I had to throw away because I did not feel like playing Russian Roulette.

This is a stand within a food court in the old factory area of Rome. There is also a Thai place…read morehere (which is on my list for my next trip), but it had zero business. Everything was focused on Bento Soul. On the negative side, the place is a slow. I see one review states "you can tell immediately that this is rooted in tradition, not shortcuts", although working multiple tickets is not a shortcut, it is a survival mechanism for restaurants. Guests will factor in whether or not they have an hour for a counter service restaurant and many won't come back. The service? This was fine, although you order from a kiosk, so not a huge amount of interaction with the staff. They did have someone standing outside the counter to deliver the food to waiting guests. The food? A mix of Asian and Soul, as expected, although the only real Asian part is the soul roll. Everything else is pure southern. Chicken? If I had know they had off menu pork chops. These were kind of meh, personally. Not bad, but not outstanding either. Greens? Fairly standard. Yams? Typical candied yams. Mashed Potatoes? Excellent flavor and consistency. Mac & Cheese? The star of the plate. The Soul Roll was an interesting idea, but I wish they had some different takes as I was choosing what I considered the lesser of two evils. I do appreciate the mashed potatoes and mac & cheese and would consider a side of either. If they would add some gravy, then another thumb up. Based on the hype, I feel this is a bit overrated. And I am unlikely to return if there are any lines. With two other places, only one open on weekends, and nothing else right there, I won't walk over to see if there are lines. If you are into soul food, you will likely find this a good plce to go to. A bit pricier than a diner, but the food fulfills the needs. If you are into mac & cheese, then definitely give it a try. I would avoid dinner hours.

If you're looking for real soul food made with love, this spot is it…read more Came out for their launch and everything--from the food to the energy--was on point. You can tell immediately that this is the kind of place where recipes are rooted in tradition, not shortcuts. The food was flavorful, comforting, and cooked right--the kind that feels like home but still hits restaurant-quality standards. Portions were generous, seasoning was perfect (not bland, not overpowering), and every dish felt intentional. Beyond the food, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the team clearly cares about what they're building here. This place is a must-try if you love authentic soul food or just want a meal that actually satisfies. So excited to see what's next for them -- I'll definitely be back.
