"Been a bit since I had good soul food and didn't have a single complaint with my order. I had the turkey wing meal. Meat came off the bone with ease, cornbread dressing was well seasoned Mac n cheese, greens, rice, cornbread- all delicious It's a small spot with good music playing while I waited on my order. Very likely going to order from here again."
"I hardly know where to begin with this review because this visit for a quick lunch became a whole experience. The customer service is exceptional and on point from the time you enter the building. The building itself is designed to let you really enjoy your food with multiple TVs and a massive projector screen. While my daughter and I waited for our food we were straight catered to. You can select your own show or movie or watch YouTube at a smaller bar or relax in reclining chairs. There are multiple sections to sit in so you can really enjoy the company you bring in your own private section. The food was hot, the wings were crispy, and even the ranch is the good one. I got the BLT and my daughter got garlic Parmesan wings. The fries are actually cooked well until golden and seasoned like they should be. Everything was delicious and the comfort is unmatched. You won't find better food or better service at better prices. Definitely check it out."
"This is one of those spots when you want a good “home-cooked” soul food meal, they don’t miss. I had my two brothers in town who are serving in the military and brought them here. Let’s just say, it made their day! They had the staff laughing and the ladies were so courteous and friendly! This is another go-to!! Yall, if you are ever in Decatur, please, check this spot out! They also have in-house home-made non-alcoholic juice/drinks. Okay. That’s all!"
"Great customer service! The food was amazing! I took a menu because I want to try other things in the near future. My advice is to keep a menu, place a phone order then pick it up. Everything is made to order and FRESH!"
"After meeting the delightful owner Stacy I decided that it was time for me to review this new community restaurant. Not to be confused with the soul food restaurant originally at this location, Soul Food Cafe located at 1804 Columbia Drive in Decatur, Georgia, offers a mouthwatering selection of old school Southern dining delights. Homestyle staples such as cube steak, smothered beef patties, fried pork chops, and a unique short rib soup paired with Southern side favorites such as black eyed peas, collard greens, yams and cornbread dressing make this a perfect place to go to quelch any soul food cravings. Their turkey wings, macaroni and cheese, and string beans are simply delicious, while their crunchy fried chicken wings, cornbread dressing, and sweet potato souffle add variety to the menu. Don't forget dessert!! There's a variety to choose from including lemon pound, red velvet, chocolate, and carrot cakes. However I couldn't miss an opportunity to try their delicious old-fashioned banana pudding. The prices are reasonable considering the generous portions and quality of the food. Plus, they offer a special discount of $5 off a $20 purchase if you pay with cash. One thing to note Ms. Stacy is concerned with the health of her community so do not expect an overabundance of salt or sodium containing seasonings in her dishes. In my opinion this is better because you can truly taste the flavor of the food!! While it's more of a to-go restaurant with walk-up window ordering, the outdoor seating in front of the restaurant adds a nice touch. However, in my personal opinion, you will be so satisfied and in the full throes of the 'itis after eating you would have wished that you were at home. So take my advice, take your meal to go and find somewhere to relax after enjoying this very filling culinary experience. I'll definitely be returning soon for another delicious plate of Ms. Stacy's soul food!"
"Friendly service when ordering fresh food not bland has taste and I’m picky I got the lunch special cube steak and it was sum to do for 13$ I’ve had worse for more so I’m satisfied and will be back !!!"
