I will start off saying the food wasn't bad. I ordered catfish, macaroni and cheese and yams. 1.Macaroni and cheese lacked flavor and it didn't taste baked at all. 2.The catfish was over seasoned 3.They only offer potato salad on Sundays which sounds crazy to me 4. The yams were the only thing I enjoyed. I really wanted to like this place because we don't have many soul food places in this part of Jersey. read more

Best soul food in town. Platters are hefty and the catfish never miss. Come early they do sell out and they aren't open on Saturdays. Service will depend on how busy. Sometimes I have to stop in and wait due to the lines being backed up. Must try is the pound cake specials and the purple ginger ale read more

Amazing food service & portions I got fried fish & I got my son the beef ribs, which were fantastic. Second time ordering from here both times everything was delicious. The sweet potatoes are perfect as is the mac & cheese. My fried fish was a little salty, but I might be biased because I typically cook with only a little bit of sea salt so for most people it probably wouldn't be salty. I wish I had ordered the beef ribs for myself. They were fantastic super nice clean And delicious. read more

I want to gatekeep this place but at the same time give them their flowers Delicious juicy candied wings with a proper crunch, mac was perfect texture of gooey, I ordered string beans but got collards and was not mad at all. Collards have a tiny kick to it but Candied yams were exactly my cup of tea. read more

DELICIOUS, clean place & kind service. Some of the most perfect take out I've ever had. I'm from Staten Island and gonna have to come here every time I go to Walmart down the street hahaha. The yams were so perfect and Mac and cheese was UNREAL. Pounds of food, the portions were huge! Plate was overflowing & heavy!!! read more

I've been coming here regularly for a month and it is definitely consistent with tasty food and great service. They give big portions of everything. Some of my favorites are the bbq beef ribs, honey wings, smothered turkey chops, Mac n cheese, potatoe salad and whiting fish. Mike is the man. read more

I've driven past this place many times and am glad that I stopped at this diamond in the rough! For starters, the fish was fried to perfection with a good amount of flavor packed in. As were the wings! I went with the sticky candied wings, which were indeed sweet but not super stinky (fortunately). As good as the wings and fish were, I'd have to say the Mac might've slightly edged them out to be the star of the meal. My son said it could've used a tad bit more cheese but we both agreed the flavor profile was still there and doing SUMMERSAULTS; I was good with the cheese ratio for the record. The greens were good but unfortunately they weren't the same temp as everything else, but again the flavor hit, so I won't deduct that from the experience being enjoyable. The sleeper were the yams tho, hands down; because based on looks, I had low expectations, but they were sweeeeeeT, thru and thru! I could taste da brown sugar in the glaze (pause), and each bite was more enjoyable than the last. Overall this was a cool find. The two brothas behind the counter were courteous and professional, and the inside was clean and presentable. I'll def be returning and suggesting this spot to others in the future! read more

Really great food. My only question why are they closed on Saturday. Great food and great service. Defly like bbq or soul food this is a place to go to. read more

The food was great! BBQ Beef Ribs were tender & falling off the bone! Collard Greens & Candied Yams were excellent. Mac & Cheese was the weak link. Generous Portions. The Service was pleasant. Pack your Patience. Waiting times can be lengthy. But everything is fresh and made to your order which makes it well worth the wait. They are very good. Thumbs UP!! read more

Just ok. I only tried the whiting fish. It wasn't seasoned enough for me but there isn't another place in the area that sells fish. I'd like to see better flavor read more

I ordered the BBQ chicken and got the whiting fish instead. This is fine with me since I was debating between the whiting and the chicken. The fish was very flavorful, slightly dry to my liking, but the breading was crispy and stuck to the fish perfectly not falling off. Candied yams were amazing, not too sweet, perfect consistency. The Mac and cheese was also a hit packed with cheese and well seasoned giving a good complement to the fish and yams. Great little spot, that also has daily specials like brisket.would recommend for sure! read more

Love the Beef Ribs. Nice and Tender. I would suggest light BBQ sauce. The Collards are Awesome

The food is good and nice portions !!! Mac and cheese and peach cobbler is great they have specials on Sundays! I recommend!

Best soul food around. Period. Nothing out of a can, all fresh. I'm going today! You should too!

Food was amazing. The fried ribs was phenomenal. I called they were so nice to me. And the vibe gave very family oriented

was hoping to find a soul food restaurant in the Woodbridge area as we were going to be there today. We saw that the Florida Grove location soul food restaurant came up but we were like oh we don't like that place it's stinky (literally) BUT then we realized it has a NEW NAME and NEW OWNERS, and it's SO clean and smells delicious and it's called Sole Food BBQ. so you should run, not walk there and order some delicious food. We got the Whiting dinner with collard greens and mac & cheese. And we also bought the smothered turkey wings over rice with stuffing and collard greens, and one extra side of candied yams. when the smothered gravy hits the rice, it almost gives it a risotto texture, so delicious. Rich and creamy and delicious. The only small complaint is the collard greens are a little salty. But everything was nicely portioned. The owners are so nice on the phone and in person. Wishing them all the luck in the world. Be sure to ask for the daily specials. Today's was the smothered turkey wings. We also got the grandma iced tea, which my husband loved. be sure to stop at this family owned business and show them some love. read more

Someone suggested that I come and try this place out so I wanted to make sure that I came to try it out hands-down this is the greatest Soulfood barbecue place in New Jersey possibly the country. Each and every bite is filled with flavor, love and blissful happiness. It's more of a takeout spot however they do have limited seating for two people or so the mac & cheese was delicious each and every bite was filled with cheesy goodness my daughter had the wings and couldn't resist eating it down to the bone. The ribs were nothing short of amazing. I had to pause so many times to make sure that this was real because I've been searching for a great Soulfood spot for quite some time. I'm so happy I don't have to look any further and I also hear they do catering. Can't wait to possibly book them for Thanksgiving. Everyone should try this place and support consistently so they can stay open because this is something that we need in our lives. read more

I have visited the location 4x now and i have to say i have tried.most of the meals and sides. I only have a few complaints. 1. The beef ribs sell out fast... call when they open ir you want to secure an order. They will save you some if you ask and its definatly worth asking for. 2. I have yet to try their turkey wings apparently they are really popular and they are always sold out when i try to order them. I have been told they are amazing and worth driving over an hour to purchase. 3. Corn bread... I dont think they offer it... but if they did i gaurentee its gonna sell out. The flavors and sauces are so good you kinda need a big piece of cornbread to collect the rest of the juices left behind after your meal... aside from those complaints. This is one of the best soul food spots in the state... the inside is small but what other options do you have when the place is full of flavor. Its definately wrth the trips. They also offer really generous portions for a really really good price and thats not c9mmon when you compare all that to the high quality of the meals. I have paid alot more and recieved a lot less.. here... you pay less... and get more... i will definately be back. read more

I just found out about this restaurant about 2 months ago and I've literally been going 1-2 times a week because I can't get enough. They have the best seasoning for their chicken and fish. The sides are good too. They never disappoint, always consistent. The service is great too. Must try! read more
