There is a takeout location on Tryon and the dine in restaurant is on JM Keynes. Location: shopping plaza by the boardwalk in the university area. Plenty of parking. We walked the boardwalk after dinner, nice bonus. Spacious patio as well as plenty of indoor seating with half booths, low tables as well as high top tables. Full service bar. Food: yummy! They brought out two cornbread muffins while we waited for our orders. Nice and sweet. For an appetizer we got the everything green dip. Five stars! Comes with tortilla chips. I was almost full so for my meal I got a side of seafood Mac n cheese and a side of mixed vegetables. I still didn't eat all of my food. Nice portion sizes. The side of Mac was $9 the entree of Mac was $26. If I go back and get the entree I would definitely share it. Sooooo good, nice and creamy and cheesy, huge pieces of shrimp. My friend got the turkey wings. I watched the meat fall off the bone as she ate. She got garlic parmesan. She liked the dip so much she ordered the greens as a side. You get two with your entree. Ambiance: great music! R&B vibe. It was kind of challenging to carry a conversation so I would not pick this as a romantic date spot. Quite a few stairs outside as well as inside fyi. Service: the only reason I'm not giving 5 overall stars is the service. Some staff were clearly hustling and others not so much. We asked for our table to be wiped down and the busboy who was supposed to come never did and we eventually just switched tables. Our server was super sweet and accommodating, just a little forgetful. After two asks for some things we just let it go. It was a very busy Thursday evening though. She was working very hard and professional. Great suggestions from her from the menu. The busboy popped up as we were finishing our meal. We saw him again as we were leaving. He was out back hanging out with other workers. Which explains why our server couldn't find him and the table never got wiped down. Overall I would return. I really liked the vibe. Good energy. People were happy and having fun. Food is wonderful, very well seasoned with flavor and I want to try more things. Hopefully some staffing decisions will have been made by then to provide consistent service because eventually that will be a turn off for me. read more

I had really high hopes for trying their new larger location. I went for brunch on a Saturday , arrived a little before noon. Was seated immediately outside on the beautiful patio area. However that's where the good experience ended. Took literally 20min for a waiter to even come over, in spite of seeing at least 3 different workers come out to help patrons who were seated already and eating. A couple that got seated right after me was waiting just as long. When a waitress finally came out to get my order, I wanted a drink but opted for just water because I didn't have time to be waiting even longer for refills that prob would never come on a paid drink. I went ahead and placed my order too because again, didn't need anymore time passing, especially since I had been sitting for 20min anyway had plenty time to figure what I wanted. She takes my order and immediately goes back inside, leaving the couple who came after me still waiting to even get a cup of water or any acknowledgement. It's like they can't multitask or something. I literally saw abt 4 different waiters on that small patio coming and going so couldn't for the life of me figure out what the hold ups were. Anyways only brunch was served at that time so I opted for the chicken and waffles. It was good but I think $16 for two small wings and a waffle a bit much, but everything is expensive these days. The food didn't take long to come out after I ordered. It was advertised as coming with warm maple syrup. But nope cold syrup in small lil cups. Again since I waited so long to even be served i didn't have the patience to wait for some warm syrup. Overall food was just ok, nothing to make me want to go running back for. And my waitress never even came back to check on me until it was time to bring the check. SMH. They have a lot of work to do on customer service. read more

Sol’Delish - Soul Food Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Our first stop once we arrived for weekend in NC. Searching for one of most talked about soul food brunch spots. You walk in to a very modern & chic decorated restaurant with a dedicated bar, patio and main dining room area. They have space for live band in second floor area. The black on black decor, swirl marble flooring along with the beautiful artwork of black women sets the vibe of elegance and classiness. We had good timing because we walked in and were immediately seated. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. We both were in the mood for seafood so as our app we got the salmon bites, entree was seafood Mac & cheese and an Arnold Palmer. Those salmon bites are crunchy chunks of good flavored fried salmon. Not a one was left. We both got greens, of which I liked, tangy sweet with a hit of fire. Now my seafood mac had more macaroni and not doing shrimp & lobster. Honestly was getting home cooked Mac & Cheese either. The cornbread with a drizzle of honey were pretty good. We were a bit disappointed regarding our main entrees. read more

Party of 7 went during the holiday season on a Saturday night. Ample parking pending event in area & the restaurant easy to locate. The restaurant atmosphere is very "moody" but nicely decorated. 2 bars, 2 levels and ample seating in the waiting area. We expected it a wait since we were a large party, it was holiday season on rhe weekend, and we wee told they were understaffed that day. Either way we got drinks at the bar & the wait was about 30-40 mins. Our waitress was very pleasant, very attentive, didn't rush us and was able to promptly take our orders. The drinks were good and the food was Sooo Deiish . Food orders ranged from wings to steak, fish & turkey wings with Mac n cheese, greens, yams, oh and that cornbread!! Overall it was a great time and reasonably priced. I didn't give a 5 rating bc they were out of the lamb chops, and I left smelling like fried food. Will definitely visit again, maybe when its less busy but I still reccomend it overall. read more

I li the new location for Sol Delish! The artwork is beautiful. The atmosphere is great. The food is good and the service is good but the wait time still leaves a lot to be desired. There was a one hour wait on a Friday at 2:30 in the afternoon. But in their defense, once you were seated and placed your order, the food came out fairly quickly. We ordered the jerk and Parmesan turkey wings, which slid off the bone, mac & cheese, which was delicious yams which were amazing, and that everything greens, which were really good as well. The food here is seasoned well, which is why you won't find the salt shaker on the table, I'll be back for some of that delicious fried salmon! read more

I had bookmarked Sol'Delish for awhile and they happened to open a location that was walking distance from my hotel. Met some friends here and it was packed on a Tuesday night. We sat at the high top tables near the bar and Imani took amazing care of us from beginning to end. I had never had fried salmon before so had to try that and had the mac and cheese and grilled vegetables as my side. The mac and cheese was really good but wish it was a bit hotter as it came out a bit cold. The mixed veggies were okay, a bit too overcooked for my liking. The salmon was unfortunately very overcooked, but with the tartar sauce and hot sauce I asked for on the side it tasted a bit better. Everyone else really loved their food and next time I would order the fried fish for sure! For dessert we had the sweet potato cake and it was really moist and delicious. Though I didn't enjoy my meal as much as others at my table, it was a great environment and amazing service from Imani! read more

Love everything about So Delish! Laid back, good music, soul food vibes. TVs throughout the restaurant, perfect for game nights. Outdoor seating, two bar seating areas, and average indoor dining spaces create a cozy atmosphere. Limited large party spacing if celebrating an event with several, but doable. We chose to be seated at the back bar immediately due to a typical Saturday 45min. - 1 hour wait time for a regular table. Ordered the Smoked Turkey Wings and Fried Flounder entrees. Sides were seafood mac and cheese, yams, and greens. Everything was delicious and truly surprised me because I'm picky and it's hard to find good soul food in Charlotte. I would recommend stopping in for a meal. read more

We were excited to try this restaurant, but unfortunately we never even had the chance to order. We arrived right at 5:00 p.m., before the dinner rush, and were seated promptly. After that, we were completely ignored. Not a single person greeted us, not even a quick "Hi, we'll be right with you." We waited for about 10 minutes while at least five members of the waitstaff stood together at the back of the dining room, about 20 feet away, talking and laughing. Two different employees even came over to bus and wipe down the table next to us but never acknowledged us or said a single word. We understand that service can be delayed when a restaurant is busy, but that wasn't the case here. The restaurant wasn't crowded, and all it would have taken was a simple acknowledgment to let us know someone would be with us shortly. After 10 minutes of being completely ignored, we got up and walked out. It was incredibly disappointing because we were genuinely looking forward to trying this restaurant. Unfortunately, our first impression was that the staff was inattentive and unprofessional. We won't be returning. read more

Be prepared to wait because this place does not take reservations and the line is usually long. I waited for a little over an hour for a table of 3. I will say that it was really good food though. The cornbread was complimentary and it was more pancake like and not really giving cornbread to me. The fried flounder plate was great. It was well seasoned and well fried. The seafood mac n cheese was amazing and was worth the extra $9 with clear chunks of lobster and shrimp in it. The yams are AMAZING too. I will definitely be coming back here again. Service to get a table is slow but once you're sat, wait staff is attentive and quick. read more

This place is a soul food haven! Now, I went to the new location that has plenty of space and plenty of seating. There is a high top bar area with more of a happy hour vibe and the more restaurant area behind it with booths and tables. But I have to admit, the service was a bit interesting. Everyone was nice, but the food came out slow, there were mix ups in the orders, and it was hard to get side plates and refills at times. Overall, the turkey wings WERE SO TENDER! The Mac and cheese was well done, great green beans, and amazing yams. This is a meal you leave with leftovers and I feel the pricing was affordable. Oh but that "jerk" label on those wings is incorrect. If you are of Caribbean decent, you will be upset lol. Still go try and enjoy your two days of food! read more

Sol Delish opened a larger location in the university area and I stopped by during lunch and they were packed. I had the collard green dip and the turkey burger with Mac and cheese. Everything was good but I did notice a difference in the Mac and cheese from the other location so I won't order that again. I look forward to trying some desserts on my next visit. read more

I finally had the chance to experience Sol Delish in the University area of Charlotte. Last weekend I had family in town and we visited Sol delicious on Saturday. My experience was so good that I returned again on Sunday. The wait was about one hour, but it was very organized. I knew where my place in line was, and I had time to walk around and visit other shops before getting back in line. I really can't understand where the negative reviews come in because my experience each time was a five out of five. On Saturday my waitress was Fatimah. She was very personable and professional. She helped make suggestions on the menu as well as drink options. When our food arrived to the table, Fatimah constantly came around to check on us, although the restaurant was beyond busy. Unfortunately, we didn't have Fatimah as our waitress when we returned on Sunday. The food and drinks were equally as good. The waitress was good, but not great. Overall I would constantly come back to this restaurant and wait in line to enjoy the delicious food. The turkey wings are so tender- They practically fall off of the bone. I have nothing to complain about. I hope to come back here again and again very soon. I want to experience the live music edition. read more

My Family members went to the Sol Delish restaurant tonight for the first time. I looked at the online menu and asked My sister to bring Me a ToGo order. I called the restaurant several times to ask questions and place a ToGo order. I could not get an answer. So, I sent the order to My sister to place the order and bring it to Me. I ordered: Baked Garlic Parmesean Wings Meal with Yellow Rice and Candied Yams $17.50(Online Menu Price) I asked for All FLATS and Extra Garlic Parm Cream CornBread Sweet Potato Pound Cake $5.50(Online Menu Price) As they were leaving, My sister advised My bill was $45.00!!!! I questioned WHY and she said I was charged a 20% Gratuity Fee because they were a 10 person group. Even with that, the cost seemed too HIGH. I asked did she get a receipt and she said the server did not give her one. She just did a tap payment. I asked her to cancel the order. She went back inside to return the food. They would not take it back. She asked for a receipt and had to wait for a manager to get one. The receipt showed two teas that were not ordered by Me that cost $8.00 total and the Gratuity was $7.05. So, I was charged $15.00 extra and never stepped foot into the establishment. When My sister questioned WHY I was being charged the Gratuity, she was told because the ToGo order was placed by someone with a Large Party. She was told I should have called it in. I advised I called several times and got NO ANSWER and that is why I asked her to place the order for Me. Now, to get to the food. I ordered the wings based on the picture I saw online with Parm Cream on them. It was the same for the Candied Yams. Both were a disappointment. The chicken had no Garlic Parmesean Cream. The Yams and Rice were both dry. Plus, the overall presentation was subpar. The CornBread was decent. However, the Sweet Potato PoundCake was a 5/5. The cake is why I rate this experience a 2. I do not see myself patronizing this establishment again. read more

I have eaten at the old location and the food was fresh and delicious. Today at the new location the food seemed like it had been sitting in the back in a warmer. I hope you go back to your cook to order. I had my mouth set on come fresh greens but these had been sitting. I came in around 3:45. I will try again another day maybe come in when they first open at 11:30. The server was great. read more

I planned a special night to ask my girlfriend to be my girlfriend, and this restaurant completely ruined the experience. I ordered my steak medium well and was served meat that was practically rare and raw in the middle. It was honestly disgusting. What made it worse was the way the situation was handled. No one seemed concerned, and there was no attempt to make things right until I specifically asked for the item to be taken off the bill. I ended up leaving before finishing my meal because I completely lost my appetite. For the prices they charge, I expected much better food quality and customer service. A memorable night turned into a huge disappointment. I would not recommend this place and definitely won't be returning. read more

The service was good and the Ambience was nice. However the food was subpar because my chicken was small and tasted refried or reheated, plus not cooked fresh. The waffle was chewy and not completely cooked. I felt the portions were too small for the price paid during brunch. When I first came to this restaurant the food was awesome but now after a year it has lost the momentum in their food taste, quality, quantity and presentation. It will be a while before I go back. read more

The food was great, and affordable. Just know if you have a party or 6 or more there's an automatic 20% gratuity added. Drinks were excellent, so kudos to the bar tender! Customer service could definitely use an in service. The wait from arrival to receiving food was 3.5 hours, but worth the wait. However, I expect excellent customer service no matter what our how busy the place is. Remember that's what generates revenue. I would definitely recommend Sol ' Delish if you're looking for some good Southern food. read more

Sol Delish's new Charlotte location did not disappoint. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented; but the true standout of my visit was our waitress, Lay. Her customer service was exceptional from start to finish. She was attentive without hovering, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely warm in a way that made the entire experience feel elevated. Lay anticipated our needs before we even voiced them and made sure everything was perfect. Charlotte needed this kind of hospitality, and Sol Delish delivered it through her. I'll definitely be back. read more

Sol Delish....its all in the name, it is so delicious. Wait was long but it was soooo worth it. We had a party of 10 and understood the wait, I loved the professional answers as to how long the wait would be and how much longer our table would be. Our server DJ was the best and hilaroud. Idk it you can request serverd but I'll always ask for DJ. 100% will be back read more

Food GREAT. Owners daughter is the server? Bad attitude. We went on Wednesday and ALL wine is supposed to be $5 but was charged full price. Brought it to her attention and was mad we said something. Just go home boo. read more

First I will start out with scenery, it was absolutely beautiful and the music catered to the 90s. It was so calming and loved the Afrocentric pictures. The service was okay, our waiter seemed to forget our drink orders, but it also seemed like that there was more people standing around, bussing tables than waiters. Now the food, as long as we waited you think that the food would be hot hot but it wasn't it was luke warm, my turkey wings were dry, collard greens were more like candied greens (not sure who eats sweet greens) but you can see the brown sugar sitting on top of the greens. I chose the Mac and cheese seafood (very disappointing) dry, there were only 2 shrimps and 1 piece of lobster meat literally and remind you it's an extra charge. It was not busy for the amount of time we had to wait for our food. Oh salmon bites and yams were delicious!!! read more

If I could do less than 1 star I would. I've been dining and ordering from this place for a long time...always a positive experience. I placed an order for fried salmon well done with mac & cheese, greens and yams. EVERYTHING was horrible! The salmon was a small, unseasoned, under cooked filet that cost approximately $7.99 on sale at the grocery store or out of a frozen bag. The greens were mushy and old. The mac & cheese was dry and old. The yams were dry and NASTY! I threw the entire meal in the trash! I will never dine or order from this place again read more

Everything was on point! I'm a picky eater since I love to cook! I had zero complaints, food didn't take long and was perfectly seasoned and HOT which I LOVE! Made no modifications at all!

I went to the takeout location to try out some of the other items I have not tried before and I absolutely LOVE the sweet potato cake. When CSR rang me up for one turkey wing and 2 slices of cake it was $39. 20. Now...don't get me wrong, I love to eat and I don't mind paying for some good food but I expect to pay what's on the menu. When I noticed the price and the cake was ringing up eight dollars for each slice I made the CSR aware and she said oh yeah the prices went up and it's because of the old system we had we are using the new one now and I was like well that is not what's on the menu because I sat in my car before I came inside to determine what I wanted and she proceeded to call someone who didn't answer the phone. She didn't try to adjust it or rectify the situation at all. I understand they have a new location and all, but if the prices went up, you should make your customers aware and switch the prices online and on your menu. To make matters worse I pointed it out on the menu online and inside the restaurant it clearly had $5.50. I love supporting black owned businesses but I like for them to be fair and if something is wrong, own your mistakes and honor the prices. I drove 40 minutes to support only to not get the main thing I went for...Sweet Potato Cake. Congratulations on your new location. I wish you well. read more
