Well, I decided to come to PND Soul Food and give them a try again. Today is August 15, 2026…read more After working a long hot day at work, I decided to come and get me some Soul Food dinner, but to my surprise, they are closed Didn't even have a sign in the window as to where they might have moved so this is the update they're not there anymore!

Food Made With Love…read more I'm visiting from out the state and the only food I desired was southern cooking. There were a few choices on Yelp and Google but I selected P&D. The first letter of the husband an wife names. My expectations were high, and they should have been based on the reviews. This is not a standalone location as the are other businesses within the same building. You won't see P&D on the exterior signage but you will see "Soul Food Kitchen" A la carte buffet style food served. I like this so I could see what I'm ordering. Which is way I should have not purchased the Mac&cheese. Macaroni noodles and shredded cheese melted within. A serious faux pas for macaroni and cheese. I observed how many customers appeared to be regulars, and several people were ordering additional food to take home. I ordered two full meals. The main dishes are served with cornbread dressing on the savory side or rice. One suggestion for P&D would be to offer a brown gravy option alongside that is not meat-based specifically for the dressing. The highlights for me were the yams, fried fish, and pork chop and red velvet cake. Those dishes were well seasoned & well-prepared. Without being critical of the other side dishes this is what I would say: Sharing a few side dishes with your group before committing to larger portions. If you're a singleton stick to yellow rice, yams, and beans. While some food choices did not meet my palate, I can understand why this place has a loyal following. The welcoming familial atmosphere, location, and comfort food are sometimes the basics of what people need to get through the day. Service: 5 stars Food portions: 5 stars Food presentation: 4 stars Parking: 5 stars Returning?: Unlikely "When food is made with love, it's hard to critique the heart."

Nikki's Place was the first establishment I've visited since vacationing in Orlando in which I felt…read morelike a local gem was uncovered. We seen Nikki's on a YouTube recommendation and decided to visit. We have no regrets whatsoever!!! From the start to the finish I knew we were in for a treat. Walking in Nikki's felt like stepping into Nanas kitchen, very down home, walls filled with accolades and other interesting things. The customer service was personable and very friendly. And the food, was wow!!! I've never had grits better than my own until Nikki's , my husband had bacon, home fries and grits and was very very pleased. Our waitress offer us their reputable biscuits and gravy complimentary and we definitely were grateful to take it. The biscuits were freshly made and sooooo great!!! I stopped getting pancakes while at restaurants because they were dry and just tasteless, But ....... I knew Nikki's would be different lol I got 1 pancake to go and this 1 pancake single-handed restored my love for the pancake. I will not be ordering pancakes just because though, I will however get another pancake from Nikki's Place when we return to Florida!!! Nikki's thank you for restoring my love pancakes and giving us an authentic taste of Florida!!!!! Bravo

I believe her name was Millie. not too welcoming, but everyone has a bad day. I ordered the pork chop breakfast meal, which includes two eggs, grits, choice of white bread or wheat. The price was $14.99 and my wife opt for the bacon breakfast meal for $13.99 which seems steep due to they only give you three strips of bacon. Overall, the food was good. Just need better customer service..

Not…read moreonly can you get a whole rack of smoked ribs but you can also get lobster, shrimp, snow crab legs, and all the fixins' to go along. Everything was seasoned well, the steak and ribs were tender. My steak and seafood platter also came with corn, a hard boiled egg (which was a nice touch), sausage, and potatoes. Just to say I tried everything, I also ordered the Mac-n-cheese and the greens. Their greens had smoked turkey which works for those who are not into swine/pork. This is a nice change of pace for those not looking to drop $100 on a seafood dinner. The takeout atmosphere allows you to enjoy the food at the numerous picnic tables or simply in the comforts of your own home. Personally nothing like enjoy good smoked BBQ and seafood while watching a good game at home. I will be back next weekend!

Soul food is good for the soul and Kim has spoken to my soul honey !…read more Growing up with a southern father , my dad and grandparents use to throw down in the kitchen so this is the closest soul food outside my kitchen. I am a frequent client of kook'n with Kim and I usually get the meatloaf dinner or the smothered pork chops because they are my favorite . Today I got the meatloaf dinner ( comes with 2 sides ) , the fried chicken lunch for my honey and a rib dinner with two sides and a banana pudding to go. Service is southern hospitality all the time, there are a few tables inside and minimal parking so I usually take it to go. I love this place 10/10

The Meatloaf alone is 5 stars…read more Love love Ms. Kim's meatloaf - Its savory seasoned well and oh so tender. I am not sure if she adds pork in the meat mix but it is delicious and tender soft. The gravy that comes with it is delicious. The bread pudding is also one of the best you will have from a scratch kitchen. I have seen caucasians come here and grab food because I hear them say its the best meatloaf they had - to the cooking in general reminds them of their southern family member cooking. This day the black eyed peas was a popular side choice. I never tried it but it was a popular one. I spoke to Ms. Kim and her grandson this day just to have a conversation - Ms. Kim introduced herself to me with her First Name - She asked me if I was this ethnicity and she was right LOL she then stated to me she is part Thailand. Her grandson was also nice. I was sharing to him my past experience as a Yelp Diner at this establishment and both Ms. Kim and her grandson were not fond of the experience I had and then Ms. Kim adviced next time that happens at any food establishment to just get a full refund back. They were shocked of the experience I had. It was a pleasure talking to them both them hearing me vent it out about my dining experience from another establishment. On a weekday around close to 12pm this place can get a line for food. By far Ms. Kim's place is the best soul food IMO in Orlando and the portions are hefty! Next time you stop by - its nice to chit chat with Ms. Kim and her grandson who is pretty much the cashier.

My meal was decent overall. I ordered the turkey wings with mac and cheese and collard greens…read more The turkey wings were seasoned well on the skin and the outer layer, but once I got into the meat, it was pretty flavorless. I wish the seasoning had carried through the entire piece. The mac and cheese was actually pretty good, especially for a Caribbean restaurant. I usually only enjoy mac and cheese from soul food restaurants, so this was a pleasant surprise. The collard greens were decent as well. The restaurant itself felt like one large space housing three different restaurants: Jamaican, Soul Food, and Haitian. It was very run down, there was no air conditioning, and with the Florida heat it was uncomfortable to dine inside. If I return, it will definitely be for takeout. Customer service was efficient and fairly quick, which I appreciated. One downside was the portion size. I ordered a large meal, but the amount of meat was surprisingly skimpy. Now, let's talk about the passion fruit punch. It was absolutely amazing! It was very sweet, but after adding a little water, it was perfect. Overall, I'd give it another try, probably ordering one of the fish dishes next time. Just don't expect me to dine in during a Florida summer.

It was really filling and decadent! I wish that is was a bit saltier/spicier as I found the flavor bland. It was rich but couldn't pick out any flavor, and the cheese seemed very mildly flavored too. I added a bit of salt and pepper and it was good to go after that! I get that this food truck is all about the Mac and cheese and keeping it real. It just needed a bit more spice for me. Great take on comfort food and love the Macaroni man mascot on the truck. Will try it again, but throw some spices on the counter for your customers please.

There are a lot of younger ladies that work the front of the house and they're all extremely polite. However, there was no one at the host's stand when we came in but they could see us from where they were behind the counter. They could have waived us over to check in there but they didn't. After standing there and realizing they weren't coming over, we went up to the counter. They said it would be a 45 minute wait. There was already a customer waiting on a togo order that was over and hour so, I started to get nervous that this was going to be a long experience. It only took us about 20 minutes to be seated and the food came over right away. That was definitely a pleasant surprise. We both ordered the baked chicken, with green beans and I had the veggie rice. I appreciated the extra piece of chicken they gave me but you could tell the chicken was old. The green beans were very salty and the rice was okay. You definitely get your money's worth in food. I would just return earlier in the day to get fresh chicken.
