The gumbo was tasty and had plenty of seafood but way too much veggies and very little rice. I enjoyed the flavor just wish a bit more rice and less veggies. The basket was really good. Shrimp and scallop fried well and fresh. The fries were really good as well.

The good: Usually a good variety of sizes so you can choose what fits your budget. This is important because 1) I don't always have JUMBO crab money lol and 2) there are some places in town that only offer a pan of crabs in one size at one price. He also lets you order by the half dozen. Again, important because it's your choice. Seasoning is good and cooked well. I don't think I've ever gotten a mushy crab from him. I can't say the same of some others. Constructive criticism: After dealing with BSC for many years until they closed down, I was accustomed to a certain quality and presentation for sautéed crabs. If I'm paying extra to have them cleaned I don't expect the apron attached and damn near all the gills still in tact. Please take all of that off otherwise all you've done is pop the shell. The crabs were thrown in the container willy nilly and I found that the sheet of paper on the bottom absorbed some of the butter and tore up as I was eating but again, they were a good size, cooked well, and tasted good. Still a fan.

1st time ordering from Soul by the Sea through Doordash. I order the Turkey Wing Platter with Mac &…read moreCheese with Collard Greens. Honestly I was disappointed !!!! It seem so hard to find a good soul food restaurant in the West Philly area, I was hoping Soul By The Sea would meet my expectations. Turkey Wings, were well seasoned but a bit tough and dry. They appeared to be baked, then deep fried for a few minutes to give the skin a crunchy/well done exterior. I get it but it was a absolute fail !!! Barely 2 stars !! Collard Greens just didn't taste good to me. The pieces are way too big, they need to cut the greens much smaller, or someone will choke. They had a light burnt/vinegar undertone taste. Not even 1 star !! Mac & Cheese was decent. It wasn't great but not bad, nevertheless it was the best part of the platter. 2 1/2 stars !!! Soul By The Sea, wasn't for me... 2 Star review !!!

So let me start with the highlight: the fried fish with macaroni and cheese and yams was…read more*delicious.* Like, seriously flavorful, well-seasoned, and made with love. The mac was creamy and cheesy, the yams were sweet and tender, and that fried fish? Perfectly crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside--exactly what I was craving. That said, the overall experience had some bumps. The wait time was pretty long, even though it wasn't super packed, and the staff didn't feel very friendly or welcoming. Not rude, just kind of... there. Service was okay, but definitely could've been warmer or more attentive. The location is pick up only, it's a nice space outside to wait but just prepare to wait and for the weather. Still, the food was strong enough to make me want to come back. If you're going for the flavors and comfort food, you won't be disappointed. Just don't expect top-tier service. I'd give it another shot--maybe on a less busy day!

I let them know I needed some time and they just kept staring at me and waiting. I felt rushed. I ordered the crab cake platter, which should have been named biscuit platter because there was not a trace of crab meat. My mother ordered the scallops and we later discovered it was imitation scallops. My aunt ordered the fried fish platter and the fish was slimy under the fried batter. I will never visit this place again. The store should be named something else.

However, they made up for it on my second trip there. The gentleman who answered the phone was very nice. He explained to me the differences in the options which was helpful. The phone didn't ring a million times before somebody answered it. When I arrived to the store the gentleman greeted me. He realized he left something out of my bag and promptly put it in the bag. Thanked me for my patience and order. The inside of the restaurant is very nice, not too shabby but a nice size and very comfortable. I love the fact that they have turkey products and not pork or beef. I believe after my mom and sister tasted my food, they now have two new customers. The food was really good as well. I got a snow crab and shrimp platter. The platter portion size is generous considering how most places skimp on portion sizes. I can't wait for my next trip back!

For the price I paid (35.00) This was such a disappointment, considering I was trying something new instead of my typical seafood spot.

I had the taste for some Salmon with some good sides. My Hubby wanted some Wings & Seafood Salad.. T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E !!! Chicken Wings, It was obvious that the grease was old, because the wings were so dark yet not over cooked. They were bland & hardly edible. Seafood Salad - Nothing but cut up imitation crab meat, mayo, with old bay season. Not horrible, but not what I would consider seafood salad. Salmon Platter - Small portion of Salmon, a bit bland but not over cooked. Potatoes cooked just right but absolutely no flavor. Big piece of broccoli drenched in minced garlic, butter, and a hint of lemon. Now that I think about it, the whole platter was covered in minced garlic.. (Shaking my head). The platter did come with 2 pieces of corn, but I didn't bother to eat them. My 1st & last experience with S&M Seafood....
