Food is consistently good. The service is very good as well. I often treat people there for their first time and always get good results.

This restaurant is tucked in a while in an alley downtown. You'd think that because it's so out of sight, that no one would go.... But you'd think wrong my friend. This place is HOPPING. While the name is rather casual, the atmosphere is perfect for a date night. With live music, delicious food and drinks. You are sure to both have a good time. We ordered the cornbread and fried chicken appetizer. My heart went to heaven! Also get anything that has catfish on it. Their catfish is clean, tasting and scrumptious. You can thank me later! read more

Been meaning to come here for a long time. Finally had a chance today. It's tucked in an alley off 3rd, doesn't look like much from the outside, but is beautiful and comfy inside. Service was great the whole time. There's a lot on the menu I wanted to try, but I saw smothered pork chops. I've liked them since I first had them, so whenever I see them on the menu, I usually get them. You can get them as a bowl, but I got the dinner. Two bone-in chops, tender and juicy and breaded with a little seasoning. Covered with a gravy/sauce that adds more flavor. And over top of tender short grain rice. I got baked beans as one of my sides, and they were soupy, but savory, and very tasty. I also got fried okra, which was a large portion of perfectly fried chunks. Also nicely seasoned. They do give you ketchup and vinegar, and hot sauce, and I tried those on the okra. But it was plenty good on its own. I came in hungry and left stuffed. They offered dessert, but I didn't even look at the menu because I knew I had no room. Parking is absolutely awful. Not their fault, of course. There are a couple of spots in the alley, but they are 30 minute only zones. Enough for pickup, but I didn't think it would be enough for dine in, and it wasn't, though my food did come up pretty quickly. Other parking is nearby but some of it is time limited or somewhat expensive. Limited street spots and a parking garage or two. You are right downtown, so you're going to pay. Definitely worth coming back to though. The price was reasonable, the food was excellent. The atmosphere was great. The music was great. read more

Soul 2 Go - Smothered Pork Chop Dinner with baked beans and fried okra. - Soul Food Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

My reservation for 15 people was not confirmed because the worker did not follow protocol. She recorded the reservation but did not inform the ownerr to be confirmed. On my way out of town to pickup my mother for the dinner. I was led to check on the reservation, to find that Soul to go was going to be closed. I explained that I had a reservation for 15 people. She checked, and yes , my name and reservation was written in the book. She then called the owner. God gave me peace, I order some wings and greens. I then waited in my SUV. The waiter brought my food, and said they would honor my reservation. But, asked if I could ask my family to arrive around 2:30pm. Knowing " cp" time with my family. I asked everyone to arrive at 2pm. We only had 2 hours to eat and fellowship. Omg! Mama and I arrived at 2pm, and my family did to. My brother, nephew and great niece missed it because they got off work at 4pm. Even now I wish I would have asked them to arrive.at 3pm. All and all the occasion was great. Food,and service was great! I thank you all and God willing we will be back. Thank you all read more

Overall: Great place with easy access in Downtown. Would return and try some other things out on the menu during future visits to Columbus. Food: I ordered the Bourbon Chicken for my companion and the Soul Food Bowl for myself. Despite being packaged together - nothing overpowered other items, each thing had a distinct taste. The chicken was juicy, the greens had a good flavor and the mac and cheese met expectations. If I had any complaints, it would be that the yams were overcooked (there was some noticeable burnt coloring but not much). This met my expectations and I honestly was full for hours after finishing my bowl (I'd had a light dinner the evening before and no breakfast so I was hungry by the time we ordered our lunch). My companion loved his meal. They also have great portion sizes for the price. Service: Quick interaction with the server to pick up my to-go order. It was ready when I arrived and it was correct I appreciate that they did accommodate my request to have greens instead of rice for the Bourbon chicken bowl. read more

First time flyers at this joint so here it is. We ordered pork chops, Mac and cheese with greens also we got Blackened chicken pasta. Pork chops had no soul just over cooked and tough. Greens were too salty for us and the Mac and cheese was mid. As for the Blackened chicken pasta. Star of the show. Noodles were tender with good flavor and the chicken was cooked right with great flavor. I am going to order it again. The next time we visit we will try other options. read more

I rarely write restaurant reviews, but after my recent experience at Soul 2 Go, I feel compelled to share one. After arriving in Columbus for work, I checked the restaurant's reviews, which were overwhelmingly positive, and decided to stop in for lunch. I should note that I've traveled extensively for more than 30 years and have eaten at well over a thousand restaurants around the world. With that context, I can honestly say this was among the most disappointing meals I've ever been served. I ordered the chicken bowl. The chicken was stale, tough, and oddly coated in an overly sweet, syrup-like sauce, served with only a few spoonfuls of rice. The side of greens was shockingly salty to the point of being nearly inedible. The quality of the food was so dramatically inconsistent with the glowing reviews that it genuinely left me confused. It's difficult to understand how any kitchen would knowingly send out food prepared at that level. To be fair, the waitress was kind, attentive, and professional. The restaurant itself also appeared clean and had a welcoming atmosphere. Unfortunately, none of that could overcome the food experience. What made the situation more notable is that a colleague visited shortly after I did and had a very similar reaction. We both left feeling misled by the reviews and wondering whether the restaurant was simply having a particularly bad day. Columbus has many excellent dining options, which makes this experience even more unfortunate. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, but in this case I think it's fair to offer a word of caution to others considering dining there. read more

First time in Columbus to participate in the Cap City Half Marathon brought me to the Renaissance Downtown hotel. After checking in to the hotel, myself and a few other ladies were famished and looking for good food. I opened the Yelp app and Soul 2 Go was at the top of the lunch nearby search. Even better, it was literally located across the street from the hotel a few feet down this alley type side street. We arrived at a great time because about 20 minutes after being seated, a crowd of people were filing in so we would have had a wait. I ordered the Soul Food Sampler which consisted of small but perfectly sized portions of Mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, collard greens, and 3 chicken wings pieces. I washed it down with a yummy cocktail. I do not remember the name and I did not take a picture of the drink menu but it's one of their fun named cocktails. We didn't feel rushed to exit the table once we finished our food but we were mindful of people waiting for a seat. Apparently word got out about this restaurant to other runners because the next day we attempted to go back for dinner and there was a crowd of people with an estimated wait of an hour and a half to an hour and 45 minutes. Whoah! Definitely a restaurant I would visit again. Myself and another diner had the Soul Food Sample and the third person had the shrimp and grits and she loved it (see added picture). read more

My first experience is to via door dash and it was great. I didnt care that the fish was on top of the spaghetti but they do forewarn you that that's how it comes. Regardless great flavor for both items so when they opened up a restaurant, I had to try them. Stopped on a whim with friends who requested drinks and a bite, pref. Soulfood. Drinks * Simply soul- 4/5 * Soul ties- 4.5 not too strong or too sweet. Super good overall would recommend. * Soul brotha- 3/5. A bit confusing. Too sweet for a bourbon drink for my taste. * Honey soul cornbread- delicious but a bit Heavy because it's greasy from being fried. * Soul food sampler- great way to try a little bit of everything. Greens were cooked perfectly. Love that they add onion and tomato, could use a bit more seasoning. Macaroni- chefs kiss. Sweet potatoes very good not super syrupy/running which i appreciate- good flavor. Chicken was good, unbearable but good fry/ breading. * Hot sauce bottles didn't work, had to take the cap off. * Hostess was super sweet, called to hold seats on my way from Dublin and she was able to accommodate me and remembered me when I came in. Overall, great soul food that's reasonably priced. Love the ambiance and vibe- good art work, clean, good music. If you like soul food support them, would love to see them around for the foreseeable future. I want to return when they're doing karaoke, live music or other events. The space is small so I recommend reservations during busy days/ times. read more

My husband and I tried this restaurant for the first time on a Friday at 3 pm. The hosts were very friendly and sat us immediately. Our servers name was Britney. The restaurant has a very nice set up and cool art and music and was perfectly clean inside. I had the jerk chicken pasta, red beans and rice, mac and cheese, and cornbread. I was very very happy w this meal. It's literally the best jerk chicken I've had since I've been up north. My husband had the fried fish and he said it was the best he's ever had. Willie is an amazing chef. I got the pound cake to go and it's was good also. I will definately return and recommend. Really want to try the salmon pasta. The servers worked as a team and the vibes were good. read more

MAKE RESERVATIONS before you decide to go or take a real risk of not being able dine here, or worse having a long wait. * The place is intimate. There is a nice size bar and several movable table and chairs. Now for the food....A-OK. Nothing spectacular and mostly what you can easily make at home, if you cook. There were 5 of us and we all agreed on that point. Actually the smothered pork chops were overcooked, easy to do if you don't know how to cook. That shouldn't have been the case here. Served with a little rice. I do think the sweet potatoes are from a can. *shrug* IMHO the cornbread was probably the most noteworthy item. Another thing to note, the service was top notch. Even during a full house! Glad we tried it, but not in a rush to come back and that's too bad. We want to support minority owned businesses. * made reservations through YELP. Must have credit card and $20 per person cancellation fee. :-/ read more

First time here and my food was delicious once I FINALLY got it. I placed a to go order, while sitting at the bar, and it took almost an hour for me to get it. The staff appeared confused and disorganized. Jericka and Dallas were kind and engaging, but otherwise there was barely a hello. Add to that the fact that the air conditioning is broken, and has been for the entire summer, according to an employee. It was hot and stuffy in there. In this economy knowing how to handle business and treat patrons is crucial! read more

I was in Columbus for work and got in around 8pm, which meant dinner options downtown were pretty limited. I almost settled for a steakhouse about to close, but decided to take a quick walk around the block first. Just when I thought I was out of luck, I found Soul To Go on Yelp and followed the walking directions. That said, I was skeptical when they led me down an alley. To my surprise, there it was, tucked away and totally worth the find. The service was some of the best I've had in a long time, and the food was delicious.

Soul 2 Go - Cornbread and red beans and rice - Soul Food Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I've been ordering from Soul to Go for my parents at least twice a week for quite some time now. We've supported this business consistently because we value good food and community establishments. Unfortunately, the service has been declining for a while -- but this last experience was by far the worst. The food was severely burnt and completely unacceptable. It wasn't slightly overdone -- it was inedible. When you're serving customers, especially loyal ones who order regularly, there has to be a standard of care and quality control. This felt like something that should have never left the kitchen. As a business owner myself, I cannot understand how food in that condition would be packaged and served without someone questioning it. Where is the pride? Where is the accountability? Equity in a restaurant isn't just about ownership -- it's about integrity, consistency, and respecting the people who support you week after week. I'm extremely disappointed. Loyal customers deserve better. read more

We parked on Gay Street and walked around. Street parking on Sunday is free! Once we got seated we got the menu and honestly, everything looks like something I'd want to try, so I'm coming back! The restates Black art on the walls and big screen televisions on the walls that don't have art. I'm waiting for my order: shrimp and grits. My daughter ordered spaghetti and fish. read more

Goodness gracious! FLAVOR!!!! The food tasted so good its crazy. Mac n cheese was seasoned and cheesy. The catfish was unreal. The rice was good but the gravy was amazing. The cabbage was even better! Everything was seasoned so well. If I wasn't so full I'd get it again right now. The service was great. The people inside were nice and quick with my order. Even kept it in a hot box until.i arrived. I went to the take out location so it was just pick up and go, but there was a lot of space inside and out. If i come back to Columbus, I know where I'm going. Definitely try this food. Great soul food. read more

From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly warm and attentive. They even had half-off adult beverages--yes, please! I tried the Soul Tea and the blackened salmon pasta, and WOW... if I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Chef Ms. Carlota put it down! Hands down the best I've ever had--and I just came from New Orleans! NOLA can't even compare. Everything was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-tier. Thank you for an unforgettable meal.

Soul 2 Go - Blackened Salmon Pasta! - Soul Food Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

When I walked down High Street, I turned into an alleyway showcasing art. I was taken back into a Harlem Renaissance period to an intimate spot that held 50 period. There was live live jazz playing and it's packed on Sunday. There was an obvious church crowd and regulars were greeted.. the only solo seats were at the bar. They asked if I was there for the first time and a patron leaving said that I would not be disappointed. I was greeted immediately by one of the owners. I received water right away. Took a little while to receive a menu. Roughly 10 minutes. However a superstar of the place, Brittany came through with explanations and recommendations. The did not have a cocktail menu but She told me by memory. I decided on a Soul Sister, something like a Tequila Sunrise which included Don and Grand Manier. I knew it was trouble. String. Delicious. I packed my patience for the order taking and receiving the food. The Blackened Salmon Pasta and Fried Cornbread was worth the wait. Large portions were seasoned to perfect. I spills have loved to get dessert and a bowl to go but I couldn't finish the food. I can't wait to fly back. Beautiful art. Servers felt like family and were welcoming. I'll be back. Reservations are needed on the weekend end. I think the place is downtown prices. This place made me proud. read more

Long travel day, reached hotel and quick local search uncovered Soul 2 Go. Quick check of the menu (which looked amazing) and off for a short walk to meet our conference travel team for dinner. We got in about 40 minutes before closing on a Tuesday evening, in that spot where you never know if staff is present or checked out looking to get home already. To our benefit the team was friendly and hospitable, we were quickly seated and food was everything we were looking for! There used to be a jerk chicken spot in my neighborhood, though it closed and now when an opportunity presents itself am all in. Jerk chicken, mac and cheese, greens were all exceptional and the ladies traveling with me meals as well. We did start with the cornbread and chicken tender which was really good. The vibe in the restaurant was chill yet upbeat, and really, just a great way to finish a long day of travel with a great meal before a conference. Will definitely be back when in Columbus! read more

I've been craving southern style fried catfish. I think I found my place. Ordered fried catfish and green beans to go. The seasoning and flavor definitely reminded me of soul food- because the catfish was in a Togo container, it got a little soggy from the steam, etc. I want to try this place again in person. Looking forward to it. read more

The food was great!! I just love the decorations. The drinks were on point and the staff was nice.

First, the place is small. Met a friend for dinner on friday evening and there was a lot going on, it was Rodeo night. They had a dj with line dancing and a cowboy hat competition - a lot for the small space. The food was decent, I ordered catfish w/ green beans and sweet potatoes as sides. The menu stated the greens came with onion and tomatoes on them, thus me ordering green beans - well they had the same onions and tomatoes on them also. The menu does not list this information next to the green beans. Should have asked for my fish fried hard - however it was seasoned well. The sweet potatoes were luke warm and not hot, but very tasty. my friend ordered jerk chicken over rice with okra and cabbage, he stated his food was good - but he'd also been there prior. Overall, I will be back but likely when the Gahanna location opens, b/c the lynn street location small. :0) read more

Warning: Long review I was in Columbus for a conference. I'm a foodie and always searching for a REAL soul food restaurant when I travel. So I decided to try Soul 2 Go based on the reviews. First off, the street that it's located on reminded me of New Orleans (my favorite place) so the experience was off to a great start. I picked up my food from an unfriendly young lady, perhaps having a bad night. When I got back to my hotel with my jerk chicken dinner, I tasted it and IMMEDIATELY started texting everyone about the flavors. First time I had seen any restaurant add diced onions AND tomatoes on top. The cornbread was the perfect texture and sweetness. The next night I order from a Korean place. Not impressed so my last night, I went back to Soul 2 Go. My staff told me to get the perch or the salmon pasta but the lemon pepper chicken was calling my name. This night I was greeted by a beautiful and friendly woman with beautiful braids. She even said thank you for coming, unlike the other young lady who just said sign your receipt and walked away. This dinner was just as flavorful as the other. This time I added yams and fried okra. The yams were good, but a little too much cinnamon for my liking. The okra was not frozen, to my surprise. I grow okra in my garden every year so I could tell this was fresh! I live in Central KY but have already made plans to make the drive to visit Soul 2 Go again. Side note: It's a huge dinner! Both included two leg quarters. REAL SOUL FOOD! You MUST visit! read more

This review is for the Gahanna location. The lady at the counter was very pleasant. The "restaurant" is not for a sit down experience; too small. Unfortunately, the food is not what I expected, greens undercooked, cabbage too salty. The chicken wings not well seasoned. Salmon bites were good. People in the back need to watch their language (profanity). Ambiance is satisfactory. Nice and clean. read more

This place was literally a half block from my hotel in what looks like more of a alley than a street. Nice looking place and good service I had here. For starters I had the party wings and fries and the fries was really good while the wings were bland to me. I also had drink here (can't remember the name) that comes with tequila and it was also good but it cost $15 and wasn't worth that price point. Now for my meal I had the blackened chicken Alfredo and that was indeed the star of the show. So great so delicious easily the best food item I had while in Columbus. It's more of a Cajun chicken pasta but trust it's a must have. Overall I would come back here again especially if I'm in the city limits. read more

We were so excited to go have dinner here. We made a reservation for 5pm and arrived on time. Everything was slow from the beginning. It took about 15 minutes to even order a drink and we weren't given the appetizer menu until then. We ordered all our food at once when we started realizing how slow it was. The bartender was slow as well. We were there for 2 hours and still no food. Not even the appetizer. We had to leave at the point for a show we were going to. Very disappointed and starving. The manager told us she'd take care of our drinks and then proceeded to make other people in out party pay for them after we left. Definitely won't be going back. read more

Their food was amazing! Just wish we could have heard the band! We got in on time and served quickly.

Its definitely black owned and operated and I was glad about that. The music volume was just right. I don't like going to places and the music is so loud you can't conversate. The conversation volume will get very loud so it's not intimate. Its more like a bar or pub with soul. If you want a quiet intimate night out this isn't it. However I enjoy black culture and it was very refreshing. There are plenty of TV's. The seating can be tight but not a problem.. Its best to make reservations. Parking can be a problem. If you are a person that gets cold let the hostess know not to seat you by the door in the winter. The artwork and colors are a nice touch and I enjoyed that. The bar seems to be well stocked. The menu is clear and easy to read. There aren't a ton of options to confuse you when ordering. I was hoping the server would have asked if it was our first time when she greeted us but maybe next time. The reason why I say that is it would have given her an opportunity to give suggestions and make it feel more personal than ok what do you want to order. However i just asked her myself. We were asked multiple times if we had ordered by different servers and that was fine. Silverware came after we were seated and that was ok. The serve seemed to have good knowledge on the menu which is a huge plus. However she seemed a bit rushed and I didn't like that. But it's not a deal breaker. I like to feel welcomed and not like I'm rushing the staff. I ordered smothered pork chops with greens and cornbread. The other order was shrimp and grits. Water was also brought to the table once seated. Once the order was placed it would have been nice if the server said good choices or you will like that. I say that because these things show superior customers service and make you feel like you are all that matters at that moment. They did keep bringing us drinks we didn't it table order. That's wasn't a big deal. It took a long time for us to get our meal. It wasn't just us and I see why the staff kept asking if we ordered. Our table did t have salt and pepper until we asked for it after the food arrived. When the food arrived it was hot. The chop gravy was a tad salty and it needed more rice with it. The chops were tender and good. The greens didn't have slot of soul flavors. They could have been cooked longer and seasoned better. I do know some people like crunchy stems and I don't. I added pepper and it helped them. Since this is considered a soul food spots they should have ginger at the table for the greens. The cornbread was good but not special. I would order the dish again but tell them to hold the salt. The shrimp and grits were good but not memorable. The grits need to more creamy and cheeses. The shrimp was good and not over cooked. This dish feel short . I wouldn't order it again. Now if the shrimp was wild caught and the grits were more creamy it would close to New Orleans flavor. Peach cobbler for dessert and it was the star of the show. Its. 5 cobbler but I'm taking one star because it needs ice cream. Its not a sharable size. "So my brother you will have to get your own".. we needed a spoon for it but only received a knife and fork. You can't gett all the goodness out with a fork. It would be a great touch if the owners would go to each table and thank you for coming like they do in new Orleans. Overall I will be back for more. Is it true soul food? No. What it is is a true representation of black culture. It is a refreshing environment to eat and drink and celebrate black culture. read more
