One thing that I miss from the time when I was growing up is the availability of places to order fried fish... Soul Boat is not exactly close to my home. But I will drive there from time to time to order a fish meal.. Whiting with black eyed peas and either greens, green beans, or cabbage. Everything is seasoned well and affordably priced. They also have a variety of other meals to order and a refrigerator full of desserts. read more

I love soul food and never miss an opportunity to try a new spot. I'm always searching for my next favorite restaurant. I decided to give this place a try because the pictures looked promising and the prices were reasonable. However, when I arrived, I was surprised to find out it was actually a Chinese restaurant that also served soul food. Unfortunately, I was hoping for authentic Southern cuisine, and this just didn't deliver. While the food was edible, it lacked the flavor, seasoning, and homemade feel you typically expect from a true soul food restaurant. read more

Food is plentiful. It didn't meet my taste buds because it tasted like the grease needed changing. Some pieces looked like they were darker but not quite burnt. read more

This food was pretty good! I give it 8 out of 10. The fish was fresh and plentiful! The candied yams are canned yams but still good, so were the string beans but they too were good. I mixed the string beans with the potato salad which was good too. My husband had the macaroni and cheese which was definitely box Mac and cheese but they were seasoned made with extra cheese and good too! I would definitely recommend this place. And I'll be back again to try other stuff on their menu! I mean it's not grandma's soul food but definitely could be your younger aunties cooking read more

Foodie, looking for some good food. Thought it was "soul food" but wasn't. Scratched the itch for this type of food but probably won't return. Fish was from frozen, Mac & cheese had too much pepper, greens were okay, & potato salad is a definite pass. read more

The service and the food is good for a takeout restaurant Fish is tasty not greasy. They also have other items on the menu such as mac & cheese, collard greens, salads, corn nothing super fancy but you can get a quick bite there if you're into seafood and fried fish atmosphere is this a takeout restaurant no tables or seating for dining read more

Soul Boat's fish is some of the best I've had in a while. It's rare to find a place with such plump and juicy catfish. The sweet potatoes were on point too. I didn't care so much for the rice and gravy, but my brother devoured it. Just depends on your preference I guess. The people who work here are really friendly too. I'm coming back next time I'm in town. read more

Nothing soul about this place , the Mac is macaroni and microwave cheese, the yams are just boiled, ribs not good, greens not season just boiled, this establishment is not a soul food place because there is not one aunty in there. read more

pork chops top tier. Also try the green beans you wont regret it . Open late and always fresh

Food is good, large potions and very reasonably priced. The staff is friendly and service is fast. Take out only.

Pick up order. I enjoyed the whiting, Mac n cheese and green beans. The fish was tasty and fried well. The Mac n cheese was delicious and the green beans were so flavorful. There was enough food to last me two days and it is reasonably priced. My husband mentioned the place is warm inside and busy. read more

I am new to the area so I am trying different spots in the neighborhood. I ordered the fried whiting with cabbage and potato salad with a side of collard greens and mac 'n cheese. The best thing was the potato salad. Otherwise, the fish was regular fried fish from any ordinary Asian fish fry spot. The cabbage was bland. The mac 'n cheese was way too salty and the collard greens was a waste of my taste palate's time so I threw the collard greens in the trash. Order from Caribbean Soul, not Soul Boat. read more

Okay....First hello Yelpers! Secondly, this place surprised the holy crap out of me. You're asking how? Well, I come from a Soul Food (the movie) family where we made Thanksgiving dinner every Sunday. If I ever decided not cook one Sunday, I would come to Soul Boat and purchase their family size orders. That's how much I like their food. Anyways, I went here and the lady behind the corner remembers everything you're saying while she's taking your order. So, don't think she's not paying attention because she's not looking at you...she's just sharp like that! Her ears hear everything lol Service: Awesome and quick! Ambiance: The average Takeout spot. Nothing fancy! Food Rating(s) from 1-10 as follows: Chicken Wings 10 (+) Flounder 10 Catfish 9 Oxtails w/ Gravy 7 Potato Salad 8.5 Greens 8 Lima Beans 8 Rice & Gravy 8 Yams/Sweet Potatoes 7 Mac N Cheese 7.5 Cornbread 6.5 Sweet Potato Pie 8 Cabbage 7 Banana Pudding 7 Lastly, I enjoy this place. I love hot fish, so I pull over [once I get my food] and eat my fish and chicken hot (as I drizzle hot sauce all over it)! Go here! Don't walk; run. Definitely worth your gas and cash! I'm out of here...Peace & Flounder Fish grease!! Until next time, Food Junkie J read more

I thought I was supporting a Black owned business, but it's not. They're trying to fool Black people with the name "Soul Boat". I received the typical disrespectful customer service from these anti-Black foreigners. The "Soul Food" they serve is LITERALLY disgusting. Don't be fooled like me people. This is NOT a Black owned business. read more

I ordered the flounder with rice & gravy & corn and a side of 6 wings yesterday ...the wings and fish were flavorful but the corn tasted like it was straight out of the can with no added seasonings and there wasn't enough unseasoned gravy in proportion to the rice read more

Good fried chicken good fried fish......good iced tea...good potato salad.....this food is good for the money

Good food. Very consistent, fast and clean. They staff is direct and to the point, so don't expect a bunch of smiles and overly friendly service. The ambiance is pretty basic. No real dine-in, although they do have a bistro style table and chairs outside. (I personally wouldn't want to eat there). read more

Soul Boat - Fish, chicken wings, potato salad, greens, cornbread!!! Everything was DELICIOUS!!!! - Soul Food Near Me - Sicklerville, New Jersey

Ordered in house at soul boat Sicklerville chicken platter. Ordered fried chicken cabbage and sweet potatoes. I have ordered here before with no problems so I decided to order again because I didn't feel like cooking and it was close by. I should have cooked. Restaurant was dirty and door was open with leaves blowing in and it was raining outside. That should have been a red flag but I ignored it because I had eaten from them before. Got food home and noticed the platter container is smaller and price is higher. Food was ok but the sweet potatoes had no taste and needed to be doctored up with seasonings and cabbage also. Tasted the chicken and it was alright and corn bread is half the size as it once was. Started eating the chicken and it was kind of fried hard and rubbery. As I was eating I found a piece of what appeared to be wood in the potatoes and stopped eating and closed the container. Woke up the next day with upset stomach and diarrhea and fever feeling horrible. I was told it could have been food poisoning as I had not eaten anything that day except the food from soul boat. I have been sick for the last 2 days now and unable to get around because of this illness. I was there on Sunday 2/16/25 and still not up to par. I am considering having that food tested since I didn't eat all of it and feel it could have been the chicken or the sweet potatoes or any number of thing that contributed to my illness. I had very high fever and the diarrhea is still ongoing. I will NEVER EAT there again and felt obligated to inform others as this place doesn't have the same standards it had when it first opened and have made money from our community selling food that has changed since it first opened. read more

I love this place!!!! The employees are super friendly and now apart of my family lol.... They know me by name and I order from them every week! I think the best part about this restaurant is that they are so clean and the food is amazing read more

Great job on my food. Always a good time. Never disappointed. Great prices. Great job on my food. Always a good time. Never disappointed. Great prices. read more

Nastiest food I ever tasted! Chicken didn't look done. This was suppose to be bbq and the sauce was disgusting. Would give it a negative but I can't. There's no soul food here. The fish was bland, Mac& cheese was horrific. Only thing that taste good was the Mystic juice. The absolute worst not soul food! read more

The food is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this place. The portion sizes are very good and the prices are reasonable. Trust me you won't be disappointed. read more

The Mac and cheese is soooo yummyand the chicken Is soooo goodand the fries were really good

They seriously need to take the "soul" part out orb to air name and add something else to boat. Been here a couple of times and each time it has been worse than the previous visit! They attempt to match the quality of real soul food but miss every time. They do however offer all the same items. So you can get by he regular soul food items but just not that taste or vibe. If you do travel here, just don't have high expectations. read more

Order from this place all the time. Food is good, price is right and the portions are no joke. What's not to like?

Very tasty food and generous portions. I will continue to eat here. I really enjoy both the hibachi plates and fried chicken

I have gone there many times for a quick take home meal after church. I have NEVER been disappointed. The staff is great and the food is even better. I love their porgies and my husband loves the whiting. Potato salad, oxtails and chicken are also very good. I was having company and decided to have them do the cooking for me. My company raved about the food. They kept asking who did the cooking, when I said the Soul Boat in Sicklerville they could not believe that little shop put out such good food. So when I had guest over again I ordered from the Soul Boat. Again the food was a big hit! I am a fan of the Soul Boat! read more

The food is delicious and very close to authentic soul food. The chicken is delicious and the mac and cheese as well. The yams aren't as good but the potato salad is good . The staff is friendly. read more

The portion sizes are standard, large American portions and well priced. The food is fried and we'll seasoned. What else could you want. read more

This is my second time giving Soul Boat a try. The first time I got turkey wings with rice and gravy, Mac and cheese and "candied yams". Turkey wings were "slimy" aka not baked correctly so they felt boiled vs baked but flavor was decent, Mac and cheese was on the drier side but ok, but the yams were super bland - basically boiled potatoes with a light sugar syrup. On my second visit this evening, this was the final straw!! I got BBQ short ribs, Mac and cheese, greens, potato salad and banana pudding. Oh man, where do I start?? Ribs were tender but basic as hell except for the nasty sauce that was sparingly used to cover them. They were far from BBQd and had zero seasoning. The Mac and cheese was super dry and had too much onion powder and pepper in it - and I love both seasonings, but it was just off here. The potato salad was somehow a little sweet but the texture was way wrong - more like mashed potatoes dressed like potato salad. The greens were had an oily liquid that again was bland and seemed like only salt water. Finally, the banana pudding was artificial banana flavored pudding with a few cookies thrown in. Such a disappointment!! I only took a few bites of each and the rest is sadly going in the garbage. This "restaurant's" take on soul food misses the point and is disrespectful to true soul food, which is created with depth and love. The ancestors would be ashamed of the low quality, tasteless and soul-less food here. NEVER AGAIN!!! read more

I tried this place first time today and I was not impressed at all.. The Mac n cheese was so dry n bland. The wings was fried good that's why I gave it 2 stars.. read more

Wanted to try soul food from an Asian family restaurant. Here We Go: there is a sign that says samples...you can't get that at any restaurant/take out joint. I tasted the potato salad w/sugar added but no seasoning. I got the fish platter. Fish was fried nicely and seasoned ok. String beans from the Can (What the Hell) No fresh string beans?!? Fresh yams not season in a soulful way, I taste vanilla but that is all I taste. Collard greens from the can Again! Told me the greens were cooked w/turkey however, they look like Glory Greens to me, which has pork in them. Going forward I will only order fish sandwiches and if I need a soul food platter,I will head to KURINNE'S Soulfood in Camden. read more

Zero flavor. Had to add a ton of salt to everything. Coleslaw - dry Flounder - zero taste. Fries - oily Steamed shrimp - no flavor. Mac and cheese - zero flavor. Cornbread - dry. Seemed to me made elsewhere. My aunt did seem to enjoy her fried chicken smothered in brown gravy. Wasn't head over heels but she didn't hate it. Just a lot of fried stuff thrown in to go boxes. They need to buy some salt. read more

This was my first take out meal from here & I was pleasantly pleased. I had the large whiting platter that consisted of 6 pieces of perfectly fried whiting fish & I had the collard greens & string beans. They also include a slice of cornbread but I am trying to keep my carbs down so I didn't eat that lol with that being said, if you are looking for your soul food to be deeply seasoned then you won't really be impressed. Over seasoned food doesn't mean it's good it just means you like extremely salty food which to me is not good nor is it healthy. I like my fish with hot sauce added & I was able to add my own before I left the place. I enjoyed my platter, I had enough food in that one platter for two sittings & I will definitely return. The service was also pleasant. read more

I am really tossed between a 3- and 4-star rating. I have been here three times. I went the first time to check out the soul food. I agree with other reviewers who say that it needs a "little work." The mac and cheese and collard greens could use more seasoning. At first, I thought maybe they didn't cook the greens with any meat since I didn't find any bits in my serving, but their menu says they use smoked turkey. The fish pieces were of nice size. But again, the breading could use more seasoning. It is as if they use just plain breadcrumbs instead of, say, Italian breadcrumbs like mom used to use. The fried chicken wings were good. One thing this place has going for it is its pricing. It is definitely one of the cheaper soul food places around. So I will come here if I am trying to watch the budget. But if I can treat myself, I will go to Ms. Sweetea's or Aunt Berta's. I went back a second and third time to try the hibachi. The hibachi shrimp and chicken is very good. The teriyaki sauce gives it a slightly different taste than shrimp fried rice from a Chinese takeout place. It comes with mixed vegetables (carrots, broccoli, cabbage ... which I am not a fan of, but there is so little cabbage in it, that I can deal with it). The next time I go, I want to try their pork chops. The people running it appear nice and friendly. It would be nice if there was space where you could eat there. They have a table set up outside, and there are stools at the counter. (Does that mean you can eat there? I am not sure. It might just be for sitting while waiting for your order.) The sweet potato pie was delicious as well ... not like mom's, but it was passable. read more
