Reviews of The Soul Spot

Iffath Choudhury

The one and only halal Southern soul food & Caribbean spot in Brooklyn. Soul Spot’s serving size and its fall off the bone tender deliciousness has everyone coming back for more. From the moment you walk in the aroma hits you right away. From the oxtail, jerk chicken and bbq beef ribs everything was super succulent and very tender. Their candied yams had the perfect amount of sweetness. So many sides to choose from. Had to get their baked mac and cheese, sweet corn and mashed potatoes. The plating was A1. Can’t forget their corn bread with a side of their homemade ice teas! I’m telling y’all you can taste the love in each bite!

Abideen Mohamed

Star of the show is the lamb, it's fall off the bone tender, seasoned very well. Jerk chicken has a nice flavor without getting overwhelmingly spicy. Sides are all delicious. Only downside, mac and cheese is a bit too cheesy for my liking

Gabrielle Cioffi-Dinkel

My husband and I absolutely loved Soul Spot! The candied yams were amazing, the baked chicken fell off the bone, and the mashed potatoes might have just been the best I've ever had! Such a quaint little spot with delicious food. Highly recommend!

Jeff Smith

The food is simply amazing. Great soul food in the middle of downtown Brooklyn. The selection is extensive. From fried chicken, stew chicken, meatloaf, fried catfish, shrimp and so many other dishes. The string beans were amazing. Collards, yams and Mac and cheese were some of the other sides. The corn bread was amazing. The dining area is quaint for the mostly carryout and delivery spot. Carryout and deliveries were rolling out the door while I was there. I will go back for sure.

Jamilla Faizah

We tried a little bit of alot of different foods. We love that we could come to New York and find Halal soul food ♡ The food was good. Was I crazy about it and can't wait to go back, not really. But the food was good. Definitely worth trying! The oxtail is good, it has a little spice kick to it, the bbq chicken was ok, my friend had the baked chicken and ribs and said it was good. I think she enjoyed the food more than me. Now the mac n cheese, greens and yams, was really good. That's worth coming back for, if you come that's a must. Also, let me know what your favorite dish is if you go here!

I ordered a baked Salmon dinner and Salmon croquette dinner. I was charged for both. They did not put any croquettes in the dish and charge me full price. I had to call them back after reaching home and informed them. They refunded the charge of the meal but of course but the tax was not included. If I would have known the service would be so poor I would not have tipped. But since we all have been having a terrible time these last two years that is fine. May have been an honest mistake. In regards to the food, the flavor is excellent. I still will be returning. We all deserve chances to improve.

Seannae Little

The food was good and the staff was friendly. I prefer actual shrimps compared to what they sell though. They do have good flavors and offer a wide variety of food. I would recommend them to everyone looking to grab a bite to eat while Downtown Brooklyn. Some days, however, they may not have what you want. Stew chicken isn’t always available which is a shame but go check them out.

Chris Parris

This type of flavor does NOT belong in this neighborhood!! Good lord. I grew up eating all kinds of Caribbean food and this places smokes my mama. I even took her here and she loved it. They just redid the interior, but good to know the food has not changed! You can taste the love in every single bite. The chef is out of this world. Wish I could give more than 5 stars ⭐️

Alexandra Vargas

Everything was delish. Staff was friendly and attentive. They made sure we were vaccinated,as we were dining in. Also prices were great. We ordered a bunch of food and paid less than $50!!! We live in the Bronx but we will drive out to Queens for this fabulous little restaurant. If I had to complain about anything it would be the red velvet cake which was ok but not great. All in all it was a very enjoyable experience.

William Henderson

I’ve had quite a food soul food spots here in New York City, and this has been the best one so far! Every bit of the plate you could taste the love and care that went into the food, and that’s the most important ingredient in soul food, love! This food is also halal and contains no pork which makes it accessible to the Islamic community. I’m a chef from Kentucky so I know soul food when I see it, and this place embodies that taste! The yams tasted like candy bathed in butter, yet I could tell there wasn’t an unhealthy amount of sugar added to them, AMAZING! The curry goat was succulent and tender yet well flavors. The Mac and cheese, y’all the MAC AND CHEESE, was to die for. Best Mac and cheese I’ve had up here and closest to what I enjoy from home. The only dish I wasn’t too fond of was the peach cobbler, and really only because I make mine with more peaches and less crust.

Adrienne H.

They really don’t miss, I order like once every two weeks now. Mac is good, oxtail, jerk chicken, stew chicken, bbq chicken, fried chicken, greens, sweet potatoes, & desserts. I wasn’t a fan of the cabbage because it had mixed veggies and I’m allergic to peas but that’s just me. (I do think they should list ingredients- I’ve never had peas in my cabbage). And the drinks are sweet. Very much real soul food vibes.

Scott Strait

I ordered via uber and was pleasantly surprised by the portions and flavor of the food. I got the BBQ chicken dinner with Mac and cheese and sweet potatoes. The 3 pieces of chicken were a little on the dry side but the flavor was really good. The sides were absolutely delicious, literally some of the best sweet potatoes I've ever had and the Mac and cheese was way better than most other take out spots. The corn bread it came with was so moist and flavorful it didn't even need any butter or honey or anything. The slice of cheesecake i got wasn't anything too special, hopefully they will have the banana pudding next time so I can try it instead. I'll definitely be adding this place to my go to spots.

Kim M.

Omg, the food is delicious! 😋 From the moment you walk in, the aroma hits you right away. It smells like home 🥰. The food is flavorfully cooked to perfection. The smothered lamb chops and mashed potatoes will put you in a blissful food coma. It's a small spot but it's clean and the ppl are nice.

Elle

The Soul Spot had been around for years and the food is still really good. I ordered turkey wings with greens, candied yams, as well as mac and cheese. I'm not a fan of the mac and cheese at all, it wasn't very flavorful but the other menu items were delicious. In my experience eating at soul food restaurants, the food is often over seasoned. I appreciated that the greens, turkey wings and candied yams were flavorful but not overbearing. So I would definitely recommend trying the food here. If you are looking for a meal jam packed with flavors and seasoning, you should reconsider eating here. If you want good soul food without the excess oil, then give this place a try. Also, sometimes they give Yelp check-in specials.

Nudibelle

The BEST!!! CONSISTENTLY. This has been a local spot for us that still provides the best customer service and food for over a decade. The oxtails are phenomenal!

Ali Raja

The best halal food i had in New York, i recommend bbq chicken with corn and mash potatoes with bbq sauce.

Stephanie Coles

Soul Spot catered our event and everything was great! The process of booking our event was simple. The manager was very responsive the entire time leading up to the event - great service overall! The food came on time and everything was delicious! The jerk chicken and honey wings were a crowd favorite. Thank you all so much!

Irene Zimmerman

Incredible food, great prices. Been eating here for a DECADE and I’ll never stop🎉 the collards are perfect every time, goat and candied yams some of my faves.

Zora Vada

The food is delicious. It's nice to find a soul food place that serves meat that is halal. I love the baked stuffing. I do prefer savory stuffing over sweet so it would be awesome if you guys can make a savory stuffing as well. Overall very good food.

Zlatko Galjasevic

Good Caribbean food for a very reasonable price. No fuss, cheap and tasty, with generous portions. I came here wanting my craving for oxtail, rice and peas to be satisfied, and they didn't disappoint. I'd come here again.

ronasia davis

I was searching for some good soul food in Brooklyn and I visited The Soul Spot (July 5th). The moment I stepped in I couldn't help but notice how clean the restaurant was even the back kitchen area was spotless(yes im nosey) lol. Anyways the 2 young ladies were so sweet and helpful! When I say that everything in the restaurant looked delicious I didn't know where to start and what to get 🤤. I ordered the fried chicken meal with Mac and Cheese and yams, then I seen the curry chicken and I had to order that too with the rice and peas and the Kool aid😂. They are not shy with their portions! As soon as I got to the car I busted open the containers and started throwing down!!😂 EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS FROM THE CORNBREAD, THE CURRY CHICKEN, THE YAMS, THE KOOL-AID, AND THE PERFECT CRISPY FRIED CHICKEN . (Mac and Cheese is very different its not nasty but you should ask to try it before ordering it) The food was so good I went right back in and ordered more fruit punch, cornbread and 3 more sides of yams. My aunt had the oxtail, the okra!!🤤🤩 and salmon and she was instantly in love! This is hands down some of the best food I've had in the city! I will definitely be back and will spread the word that this restaurant is a must go-to!! I can't wait to go back to try more and thank you to the young ladies who worked that afternoon you both made the experience memorable!

Eva Sultana

I've walked by this restaurant for the past decade and never stepped in because it's so inconspicuous. I honestly didn't know what kind of food they served. When another friend advised they have amazing halal soul food, I was sold. When I tell you this is the best halal comfort food I've had in NYC! The jerk chicken is delicious. I dream of the candied yams, creamy Mac n cheese, and the okra. The oxtail is great too! Most importantly, the girls are always SO friendly and helpful. I've ordered here on mealpal sometimes too and they always welcome me with a smile. The Soul Spot has now become a place I eat from twice a week. Highly recommend!

Esteban Centurion

The food is very tasty. Better to find a soul food place that serves halal meat. I love baked stuffing. I prefer savory filling to sweet, so if you can make a savory filling as well, that would be great. Thanks for the excellent service.

Mahmudur Rahman

Went with a couple friends. Excellent service and staff. I ordered the beef ribs with rice and gravy and a side of mashed potatoes. Food was on point, hearty, extremely tasty! Beef was tender and came right off of the bone!

Luis Eduardo Galeano

Roro Boogie

Yeah I'm at a crossroads with this place been here like 3 times. The last time I treated my coworkers and I had the catfish which I never had before and it just didn't hit the way I thought it would. I couldn't really compare it to anything. The cornbread was rally good

David Patterson

Best soul food place in the area. I’d recommend this to a friend or relatives who were visiting for the first time. I love their options. Only I wish they had more on the dessert menu.

Diana Gonzalez

Everything was delicious. The staff was friendly and attentive. When we had dinner they made sure we were vaccinated. Plus the price was great. We ordered a lot of food and paid less than $50!

Juan Hughes

My husband and I loved Soul Spot! The candied yams were amazing, the baked chicken fell off the bone and the mashed potatoes could have been the best I've ever had! Such a quaint little place with delicious food.

Ever González

Amazing, delicious, halal soul food! Their ribs, jerk chicken and baked chicken is to DIE FOR! Mashed potatoes and the corn bread are amazing! Definitely recommend

Rochile

Delicious and satisfying. Had the oxtail with rice and mashed potatoes, came with a piece of cornbread which was like eating cake. They have 2 tables with 2 chairs each available for outside dining. The oxtail just melts in my mouth with dripping oil and curry- be careful when opening the plastic lid as it splat out. The rice was a good base, had some beans in there. The mashed potatoes were creamy. Tasted fresh and was a good temperature. Will be coming back to try more!

Jamie Lowery

The food was delicious! The quantity was plentiful! We were fine paying with the prices!! Overall it was a good experience & definitely worth the price & trying out!

Bobby Johnston

OMG the food is delicious! 😋 The scent hits you as soon as you enter. It smells like home. The food is perfectly prepared with great taste. Roasted lamb chops and mashed potatoes will put you in a superfood coma. …

Alicia Canete

Wow absolutely delicious food. The star of the show is the lamb, tender, boneless, very flavorful. Jerk chicken has a nice flavor without being too spicy.

Maria Cáceres

The food was delicious! The crowd was great! We pay well with the price! Overall it was a good experience and definitely worth the price and try. We went there twice before leaving New York! Thank you.

Sofii Caceres

Great food, good prices. I've been eating here for ages and never stop? The sprouts are perfect every time, the goat cheese and yam confit are some of my favorites.

S Snyder

OMGGGGG, the oxtails, cabbage, and rice was delicious. The portion were perfect for lunch. I'm new to UberEats - thanks for offering such fast delivery!!

Charles Washington

The food here is pretty great. Awesome size portions and a great homemade quality to it, sure do hit the spot every time.

Chass

I ordered the meatloaf but they were out. I substituted it with jerk chicken and it was so good! Definitely coming back when I’m in town again!

İlknur

Everything we ordered was excellent, but the greens deserve a special mention. It was the best I ever had, and that includes the local legends of New Orleans, Los Angeles, and Portland. If you're hungry and looking, come eat here.

JASMINE PHILIPPE

The food was delicious. Service was quick because they have the food already prepared buffet style. No long wait for them to cook it. The space is small but I was able to sit and eat because it was not crowded for lunch. You can place your order online before you arrive so it will be ready once you get here. They also deliver. I see a lot of other reviews say they only take cash but I paid with my debit card and had no issues. I ordered the lunch special of oxtail with two sides: mac n cheese and cabbage. the oxtail was tender and flavorful. So were the sides. The meal is $13.99 plus tax. So roughly $15. The staff was friendly and kind.

Nemorio Soriano

The food hits the soul :] Couldn’t choose what to eat honestly everything look amazing but their Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes is amazing and the gravy sauce yess plsss. I had the ox tails and it was so tender and meat falling off and the sauce it was in had a mild spice but was so addictive to eat

Tareq Ahmed

First time trying soul food and I've fallen in love! Highly recommend the oxtail and Jerk Chicken, it smacks something severe.

Claire de Luxe

Vegetarian plate with big portions of 4 sides for 12.95 - amazing deal and delicious food. So rare to have so many vegetarian options to choose from and there's lots of actual vegetables, too. Collard greens with no meat?! Bless up! The cornbread was a bit lackluster but I'm totally willing to overlook it since the okra was so good.

Edward Jones

Delicious food There are special flavors one of the best restaurants in the area They have many delivery services 👍.

Tony Mou

This is a solid soul food spot that meets expectations with hearty food, no fuss service, and reasonable prices. The portions are sizeable so be careful not to over order. A few of the dishes can be really salty, and some of the sides can be REALLY sweet. If you like big flavors, this place will deliver!

Marjanna Anderson

The food was delicious! The quantity was plentiful! We were fine paying with the prices!! Overall it was a good experience & definitely worth the price & trying out! We went twice before leaving NY!

M Corbett

This place is incredibly delicious. It always hits. Portions are great. Food is ready quick. So much flavor. One of my favorites.

Christine Saloma (Bklyngrl533)

Food was OK used to be way better. Service is always meh. Yams are good Mac n cheese good but super cheap with the meat.

Jacklyn Liu

I got the meatloaf with Mac and cheese and rice. It was extremely filling and was definitely the definition of soul food. They have a lot of options for sides and main dishes and will definitely be coming back to try all their other food!

desmond john

Food was decent as usual, portions was side heavy light on the meat. The peach cobbler was below average. Prices are some of the best in the area for cooked food

Troy Taylor

A great place to visit if you don't want to cook. Great food, good atmosphere and a good size portion.

Javier Kohen

I ate at the shop. The food was fine, the portion was huge, and the lunch prices are very reasonable. The serving was a bit overwhelming, because the flavors blended too much on the plate.

Kittrell Breland

Food is always delicious. Lemonade was a bit much (I wish I would've gotten the fruit punch which is delicious)

Nicole Dansby

Staff friendly said hello to everyone when they came inside really patient. Prices went up but was still worth it! Lunch special 1 meat 2 sides .

Mel Vail, Jr.

Just found the Soul Spot. Good tasty, stick to your ribs soul food. Caters to authentic soul food lovers and the neighborhood gentrified pop.

Tameka

Three stars for the excellent staff; very helpful! This use to be my favorite soul food spot, and I decided to go back after almost a decade. The food wasn’t how I remembered; it was just ok! The baked chicken seemed old, tough, and overcooked. The catfish, greens, cornbread, rice, and peas were good. The coconut cake wasn’t good. It seemed very stale; it reminded me of old bread. Unfortunately, I will not return; I will keep my memories and carry on.

Tohn Smith

I enjoyed my meal so no reason to not give 5 stars. I’m mot a fan of the location but the Turkey wings i had were good. The wing piece doesn’t have much meat on it but i think the lady warned me the pieces weren’t that good but i wasn’t listening. I’d recommend And go again

Natalie Trujillo

The Soul Spot catered my graduation party and the food was a hit!!!!!! Everyone kept asking where the food was and where the brick and mortar location is located! Seriously, the food made the party!! The whole process was enjoyable. It was an enjoyable process from ordering to delivery. Always quick to respond and literally so nice!! Thank you!!

Sabrina Brown

This is the absolute best soul food, and they have so many options.

Ahu K

Nice little spot with limited seating. The food is delicious but for a take out kind of service it’s a little bit pricey. One meat dish comes with 2 sides and one veggie platter comes with 4 sides. I like that it’s fast, there is enough variety to choose from and everything is delicious. I will definitely visit again.

Maral Artykova

Amazing, delicious, halal soul food! Their ribs, jerk chicken and baked chicken is to DIE FOR! Mashed potatoes and the corn bread are amazing! Definitely recommend this place!

Bi Algalal

Delicious food There are special flavors one of the best restaurants in the area They have many delivery services 👍. …

Carmen Banister

Love there oxtails delicious and my husband also ordered curry goat we also love there Mac and cheese won’t be disappointed

Nicole Spencer

The food here is good. Just that the restaurant is small. No, where to eat inside.

Lance Harris Harris

Tasty, healthy servings, hungry people need to visit this spot. Soul food. A little pricey for everyday lunch but always a good eating experience. My usual is salmon, rice and a veggie, either okra, string beans or collard greens. You can get mac & cheese if you so desire. Bon provecho!

Merve Batan

The best halal food I had so far in NYC! High quality food & affordable price.

Arfin Arfa

Heard so many good things about this place for years and finally decided to stop in on my way home. Ordered 3 plates; each has two pieces of chicken and comes with two sides. I picked jerk chicken and bbq chicken, along sides of mac & cheese, corn, okra, and rice with peas. Everything was hot, fresh, and very delicious. Meat was fall off the bone. Jerk chicken had a nice kick to it. My family enjoyed the bbq chicken. Kids gobbled up the mac & cheese. Will definitely come back in the future.

Mamawa Hollendyke

Amazing, delicious and flavorful food. I love the food so much that I even had them cater my wedding! It was just yummy and Chef Ceesay and his team were wonderful. I highly recommend The Soul Spot for a quick meal or for your next event!

Donte K

Ordered from Door Dash, got it sent to my hotel. I had the jerk chicken with steamed veggies and cabbage. It was so delicious. I also had the cornbread to go with it 👌🏾 …

Somiya AK

The service was amazing u don't even have to wait and they are there first with naan and soup and then as soon as u order within mins ur piping hot food is on table would definately visit it again and real authentic Yemeni food.would really recommend it deserve more then 5 stars

Yo Show

Have been going here for years , amazing selection of food and they give great quantities. 10/10

Herbert Brooks

Perfect combination of Caribbean and soul food. Everything was very well done. The meat was tender spices were on point. The okra was my favorite. Lord have mercy! The staff was super sweet. I wish they had a little more space for sit down dining because it's so good you don't want to wait. Also it would and allow for them to have more than one server cashier to cut the line down. But I came during the lunch rush program. It might not always be that busy. Amazing, delicious and authentic. Make sure you get your cornbread!

D Francis

This place makes delicious food. And an incredible smothered chicken and yellow cake. Nice and country. But can someone please tell the chef to stop putting SUGAR IN THE STUFFIN! And when you do please call me for a free taste! 😁 …

Lish

Food was very mediocre despite the name. The staff was really nice, just not as tasty as I would have liked. For instance, who uses black eyed peas for their rice and peas 🤦🏽‍♀️ My friends were not happy with the turkey wings she ordered nor the boxed mashed potatoes served. The Mac and cheese wasn't the typical way black folks make it and the list goes on. Definitely no pictures. Although the salmon looked to be a great choice. That was enjoyed.

Romaine Morton

Great food. If you like jerk chicken come here. Good prices and portions; will be back

Naomi A

Whomever said the baked chicken was falling off the bone lied and never had proper soul food. The collard greens was the only thing I enjoyed. Mac and cheese was subpar. And the chicken seemed like it was boiled then baked? Where is the flavor in the chicken? Because it was lacking heavily.Mothers Seafood and More spot is better and seasoned.

Andrea Jackson

The food here was excellent! I would definitely recommend. We had the oxtails, jerk chicken, cabbage and rice. Awesome service and food!

TYree S

The food, turkey wings and catfish were tasty, well prepared and plentiful. The grubhub service was horrible. I explained in the notes that I was in a wheelchair and if the driver would not come up he should call and give me time to come down. The driver refused to bring bag to building door and called me every minute in the ⁵ minutes it took me to take elevator down. Had they not already taken out the tip I would not have given one. It is not smart business to disrespect a wheelchair bound senior!

Courtney Maloney

The okra, mash, collard greens and plantain were delicious - I had the vegetarian set. I wish we had the cornbread but it must have been forgotten during delivery, next time! Thank you

Chavion Collins

A cute hidden spot in Brooklyn. The food was amazing. The handmade strawberry lemonade is my favorite as well. I would just add ice to the drink so that it taste even better. But that's my personal preference. My son enjoyed the chicken. It definitely reminds me of southern soul food. It is a must try if you're in the area.

Ron Thomas

A small, yet hospitable spot for a wonderful variety of Succulent Soul foods! Like the kind of food ya Momma used to make on Sundays. And DON'T FORGET to grab you some of that puffy, Peachy Cobbler before you exit.

Ophelia Smith

Omg the yams and salmon are delicious. That's how good it is the black eye peas could get cooked a little more.

Davon Geyer-Wright

I got the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and mac & cheese and let me tell youuuuuu. BEST MEATLOAF IVE EVER HAD. I ate it and just stopped thinking for a couple mins. And my mans upfront wad bumping the music. 8.5/10 for me

Stephanie Mills

Just left here a lil disappointed. Read the reviews good and bad wanted to try myself. I agree with previous comment Mac and cheese runny and taste like it's powdered cheese. My main problem was what they called catfish. I waited the 8 minutes they asked for it to fry. However they didn't let the fish drain. Instead they placed a piece of wax paper over Mac and cheese and string beans and put fish on top. The oil created a puddle and made fish greasy and soggy. (Should have been separated to keep crispy.) Fish and string beans were seasoned well but messed up by the oil. Going into my bag to get a napkin I found hair in the bag and on the handle. Not sure where this came from server had on head cover and Im bald but ew. Overall not good experience.

Jay C

Quick and friendly. Had jerk chicken, greens, peach cobbler, and cornbread. I'm delighted to be in a food coma. Highly recommended!

Helen L

One of the best spots for soul food in Brooklyn. Quick, delicious and wonderful service and staff. The ox tail here is the best and definitely something you need to get. It’s a small store so they only have a few tables with some chairs. A lot of people usually get order out. It’s a casual spot with affordable prices. Also recommend the fried chicken, Mac and cheese and Curry goat.

Kevin Lee

This place has delicious food. The jerk chicken was flavorful with a good amount of spiciness. This is one of the places where repeat visits is a must.

Cynthia Doughty

The curry chicken was very good. But disappointed with the jersey chicken it was baked. Homemade lemonade was perfect.

K Wills

The food was good. Nothing to fancy but very tasty and hot the right spots. Nice place to grab a bite of you're in the area.

NaturalGal4u Chauncey

The food was delicious, but I am deducting a star because none of the women who were handling the food wore gloves, and they were also handling cash and debit cards. I think one person should work the register and the others handle the food while wearing gloves. One young lady was scratching her head and then immediately made a plate for someone. It grossed me out, but like I said, the food was good.

Asha Rose

Strong 4 very well seasoned food and large portions. Beef ribs are scrawny

George Keith

Fantastic food! I loved this place. I’ll be back!!!

jones arndt

Excellent every time for everything they have. Home cooking.

Jennie Green

Chef YaYa is doing the dam thing. Chef YaYa prepared food for my fight party that everyone enjoyed the food and still talks about the food. The homemade ginger beer is so tasty my guest was leaving the party with bottles of ginger beer to take home. Now Chef YaYa is preparing my pre Christmas get together and this time I'm hiding a gallon of ginger beer as well as his meatballs. I recommend The Soul Spot to everybody who wants good food for whatever event you have Chef YaYa won't disappoint.

pedro antunes moraes

Fantastic, the real soul food in Brooklin, ALL the staff its amazing the girls help me .to find a subway station, and the food its incredeble cheap.

Mahfuzur Rahman

My wife was telling me how delicious the food was. Drove 30 minutes to try out the food all while thinking it's probably hyped. I ordered jerk chicken with mash potatoes and mac and cheese. I was completely blown away and pleasantly surprised. The food is absolutely delicious! I am definitely coming back for more Highly recommend!

Nathalie

First off, the staff are always very kind and friendly!!! And now on to the food!!! The food is well seasoned and delicious. I've had the meatloaf, fried chicken, whiting and oxtail dinner before. I have to also say the portions are plentiful. I live in bklyn and while I don't get to the restaurant often, I make a stop on my way back from errands in the city. It's well worth it!!! Just made a trip on my way home today. Delicious food.

Cleo SMITH

I am not big on Southern cuisine but my fiancé has been raving about this place and he was truthful. The food is definitely great. ! However, it would definitely be nicer to have more pleasant service. No one was necessarily rude and I don't expect people to just always have big smiles but their demeanour really doesn't create a great atmosphere. It's great to enter a place and get amazing food but it'd be wonderful to enter a place and enjoy the atmosphere there as well.

Veronica Brahms

This is my favorite place for macaroni and cheese with chicken.The food is savory and packed with flavor.Their staff is always ready to welcome you with a friendly smile.A very clean and wonderful place for comfort foods.

Von-Tiva Hynson

Great food had alot of flavor the young girl at the cash register was ghetto & loud talking she needs better customer service overall food was great. 🤤 Oh & they asked for proof of vaccination in order to eat at there little tables which I thought 💭 was petty they allow people to come in purchase food but you gotta eat it somewhere else. 🙄

Xavier Bonilla

Man if you have not gone to this spot it's a must. The food was real good, a little pricey but I feel worth it. Enjoy

Darryl McCray

I bought $140 worth of food (8 meals) and 2 of the meals smelled like they were spoiled (Turkey wings, rice and corn). I am very far from the store and have to pay a toll to go back. They offered me a $5.00 credit for $30+ worth of spoiled food... Very bad customer service. I am rethinking about future patronage. I have pictures of the 2 meals in the trash if you think I am not factual. Update: The owner if the business has made good of the spoiled food and replaced everything plus added to it. My faith has been restored. The food is awesome!!!

I had my party catered and the food was delicious! Everyone ate everything and I would 100% order from this place again! Thank you for making the process of ordering and pickup so easy!

jamal moseley

This Place is so great to be at and the lady’s is so nice .... this a good place to eat everybody

Tim Chan

Loved the Jerk Chicken. Good price for value, especially in Downtown Brooklyn.

Roseanna Williams

I’ll be back again. The food was well prepared and hit the spot

Farah Khan

This is my favorite soul food restaurant! The food always hits the spot. I have yet to try something that is not good. My favorite things to get is the Mac and cheese which is super cheesy and the jerk chicken which has a nice kick to it.

arthur king

by far the best spot in brooklyn for comfort food,their food is always flavorful hands down!!!!

Susan Tang

This place is shockingly good! My family ordered takeout (smothered turkey wings, oxtails, fried chicken) and the main courses were delicious! Sides were just as great -- we tried the mashed potatoes (just the way grandma would have made them), peas and rice, mac & cheese (didn't look like much but tasted amazing), yams (so good!) and collard greens (best in town, not kidding). The portions were generous and the young lady behind the counter was friendly and helpful and seemed to enjoy being there. We finished the meal with a slice of coconut cake to split. I thought it was going to be dry like so many before it, but nope -- moist and delicious. No question we will be back! Highly recommend.

Lyann Rose

this was like 13 dollars, worth the price. v good

I had a hard day of work today, and despite being a "good girl" on my diet the past few weeks, I was looking for something to satisfy my need for comfort. I've always passed Soul Spot, and never tried it, so I looked at the menu online and they had it all: I ordered fried whiting and fried shrimp, mac n cheese, rice and peas, a side of greens, and it came with a nice piece of corn bread to top off my meal. I'm a pescatarian and I do not eat beef, chicken, or pork. I called ahead to ask about food preparation and I was very pleased to hear that their collard greens and string beans (traditionally cooked with bits of ham) are made WITHOUT pork. Soul Spot is halal! Everything was so good.... so good, in fact, that I had to call back and personally THANK THEM for such a wonderful meal. I think there is a little something for everyone here - delicious food made with care, amazing portions for the price you pay, and nice flavor that vibes with the downtown Brooklyn scene. From the outside it looks kind of small, but don't let appearances deceive you. This is a place to be reckoned with! Thank you Soul Spot, and I look forward to dining with you again soon!

Tristan King

So amazing. For a meal you would pay for at McDonalds you get a Carribean Fusion of Southern Americana

Raphael Stern

Are delicious soul food and seems to be owned by really nice people

Queen Alkebulan

The food is great the flavors are there very DELICIOUS. I would like to go back for more, but the price 13 for the small amount of food is very off. This size container (picture). For a get it and get restaurant. Maybe it's NYS making restaurant owners raise their prices so high just to survive to stay open. 😋😋👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 …

Domingo C

All I can say is YUM! Everything that is spread out is amazing! Try the goat, oxtail and the fried chicken is delicious, not to mention the banana pudding! Holy cow, trust me, the best home cooked food feeling you get when you take your food.

Jessica

The rice was a bit dry and flavorless - possibly made without oil/butter/salt. Everything else was good! Curry goat was amazing and not super bony like other spots serve it. Oxtail, Jerk chicken and all other sides were great.

T. jay

FIRST OF ALL!!!!!! THEM SMOTHERED TURKEY WINGS!!! Baybeee they were soooo good falling off the bone seasoned well not salty just right. They yams were the bomb diggity (I'ma 80s baby lol) as was the rice and gravy. This was my first time trying this restaurant I actually tried them Via doordash and had no complaints about the portion of food or anything. (Even though I did not receive my fruit punch I am not holding the soul spot reliable it could have been the Dasher) the only complaint which is probably just a small complaint or maybe I'm being greedy I felt like my turkey wing could have had more meat on it. I decided to write this review as I'm eating the rest of my leftovers lol. Food was very reasonably priced and I will definitely be ordering again.

E. Manow Seapoe

Great food. I'm typically disappointed by soul food from restaurants but this food was fantastic. Super impressed!

Arielle H

Their food is amazing! I always get the bbq chicken with rice and peas and yams. Mama gets the oxtail with Mac and cheese and yams. They never disappoint me, food has that good flavor and soul. This place is it for me 😎. …

Sarah Thomas-Polak

Great homecooked food, and obsessed with the veggie options -- Proud to support this Black-Owned business! Strongly recommend the jerk chicken and collared greens or okra! (I loved the fried chicken too with the mac and cheese, but trying to be healthy!) They also offer lunch specials which are a great affordable option.

David Jaroslaw

I really like Soul Spot. Nothing fancy: steam try soul food, some island things. But the food is good, the portions are large, and the prices are reasonable. It's a favorite stop for me when I need to pick up something for dinner on the way home from work. Try the fried chicken, then chicken-and-dumplings, and the meatloaf. Also the sweet potatoes and the collard greens.

Taohid Latif

I had the jerk chicken and oxtails, with the sides being rice and mashed potatoes. The chicken was well seasoned, and the combination of oxtail gravy with rice made the food well worth it. You may have to use your hands to enjoy the food properly, and given that the place does not have a restroom, you may need to plan on how you are going to clean your hands before going. The food here is also zabiha halal if you are into it.

Annette Garcia

I've eaten here several times either by myself and with friends ❤ IT!!! Always a welcoming staff.. (To the ladies who work there Thank you 👍 for your professionalism It makes the dine in much more enjoyable) Food is always fresh and authentically homemade .😋 O. M .Goodness.. I highly recommend Soul Spot Update I was there on 11/3/2019 Horrible staff rushing customers out without no greeting WHAT do u want? Is NOT how u greet customers! Wow .....very unwelcoming Very disorganized with smaller portions What happened to the previous Ladies? They were awesome! I returned because the service as well as the food was worth while But this visit Not only the staff changed but had no sense of proper food service and definitely no ppl skills and like I mentioned before portions are smaller To the Spanish girl there with her 3in. long nails serving the food THAT size nails ARE unsanitary!!! And if u are afraid to brake one while u are serving or preparing take out orders maybe u shouldnt work there PS your attitude needs improvement. Lastly the previous staff would bring the food to the table, ask the customers if they needed anything else , and "how was your food "? NOW the new staff dont even bother they are too busy getting the 💰.

Noor

Wonderful food! I honestly cannot tell you how amazing each bite was. It felt like it was truly made with care and love, as cliché as that may sound. A bit tight on space so I'd suggest going when they're not so busy(please refer to their hours to see which time is least packed for them) Aside from that, service was fairly quick. I highly recommend the candied yams! Ma Sha Allah.

Melanie Wilkerson

The food here is really good. Honestly, I get picky with Soul Food spots because it's the food I was raised on and quite a few restaurants haven't lived up to their hype. But, The Soul Spot is great quality when it comes to their meals. Oh, important: every time I come here, folks are consistently friendly! That means a lot for my experience as a customer. Their menu is a little more expensive than I would say is average for other Soul Food spots I've been to. Now I've established the food quality to be worthy of a higher demanding price, but usually, higher pricing also speaks to the quality of the restaurant experience right? The Soul Spot is really small. I appreciate that there is tabling in there, but unless you're reallyyy hungry & don't have somewhere else to immediately eat your food, it's always better to take your food to go. I've been there a few times over the span of about two years, and they still haven't tried to optimized tabling in the space. They really could use a little bit of redecorating help in there to build the space's aesthetic. This is why I've given it 4/5 stars.

jay siekierski

fiyah! found this joint today. amazing food!

Mia Khalid Shibly

Why the hate? I've been eating here for the last 5-6 years and honestly its great food. The service varies on who is working but its a quick joint to get some great fatty comfort food. In terms of dessert, skip everything, get the peach cobbler, you'll thank me.

Christian McDonald

We had our last Christmas Party catered by Soul Spot and we can’t wait to do it again. The difficult part is choosing from all the great dishes they offer like chicken and dumplings, smothered lamb chops and the best mac and cheese ever. We also go for lunch every couple of weeks. We love it.

Casey Raia

Yesterday I proposed to my girlfriend and had the after party catered by Soul Spot. Their menu appeals to a wide variety of people/palettes and went over wonderfully with the entire party. From Caribbean to soul food you will not be let down. Chef Yaya and Soul Spot helped make my special day even better and I will remember them forever for it.

Lily Wass

We ordered oxtail, goat curry, fried plantains, okra, rice and black eyed peas, and bread stuffing and all were amazing!! I have to try the rest of the menu now. Highly recommend

Michele Pacheco

This is the spot I've always been looking for! Soul food that makes your mouth water and close your eyes it's amazing! I ordered the Jerk Chicken with Candied Yams and Mac & Cheese. Comes with fresh baked corn bread that made me drool!

Drew Duperval

1st time walking in and they greeted me with open arms. I felt completely comfortable. Me and my 3 friends ate some great food they had such a diverse menu to accommodate our different tastes. The price was very cheap especially compared to all the other restaurants in Brooklyn. If you like home-cooked, Carribean food, and youre in the Brooklyn area, this is the spot to be.

Carl Kearse

I'm a postmate and doordash delivery courier. This location smelled so good. It could have been i didn't eat anything that day, but I remember the smells. All staff was nice and had masks and gloves on. This location is small and is missable if not looking for it.

ALICIA BRUNO

The service was excellent, and the food, delicious. I had the jerk chicken, and it different to what I normally buy ; so juicy, flavorful and tender. Will definitely visit again soon

Chantelle

I'm in love with this place! The food is tasty and the staff is nice. Sometimes I call and ask about the menu before I place orders on Doordash. My favorite is the Smothered Chicken and Yams! I also like the ,mac and cheese and Plantains. I do not suggest the Banana pudding or Peach Cobbler. SoulSpot is at the top of my list of Best Soul Food Take Out in Bklyn

Christine BennettChappell

My husband and I really enjoyed the food. The portions are very generous and delicious. The service was quick and kind. We highly recommend this eatery.

Teresa Simmons

I came here with my groupon and bought two dinner meals, one for me and one for my mom. We both had the jerk chicken and I ordered the yams and collard greens which were good. My mom had the okra with stewed tomatoes and potato salad which she loved. We both agreed the jerk chicken was just okay and the food portions were decent. Staff were okay and could've been a little more friendlier and at least smiled. I definitely wouldn't sit down for dinner here because it looks more like a take out joint or someplace where you want to grab a quick bite. I would return if Im in the neighborhood.

RALEIGH VEGAS

I HAD A GREAT EXPERIENCE AT THIS PLACE THE LADIES WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND VERY COURTEOUS AND PLEASANT ALL U NEED IS SOME PRIVATE BOOTHS TO GO WITH THE GOOD FOOD AND WE SET MY NEW BROOKLYN SPOT THANKS FOR THE GREAT EXPERIENCE LADIES

yu new

This place will will truly satisfy your soul food cravings! Came here for Iftar after praying in the nearby mosque and couldn't be happier we did so! So I tried the Jerk Chicken, which was moist and super delicious with the right amount of kick to it, meat falling off the bones mmmmmm!!! The mac and cheese which is definitely one of my favorites now and the rice and peas super delicious as well. I think I maybe a little obsessed with this place because its so good!!! I can't wait to go back!!! Keep in mind, its a hole in the wall place, not a date night spot but the food will surely win you over! Also, it's amazing that it's halal! Super plus if you are restricted to only halal food. Check this place out asap!!

Carline Perry

Hubby & I went there because we didn't feel like cooking today. The service was very good. I ordered the Bake Chicken, Yams & String Beans. It really was good. I will be back whenever i am Downtown Brooklyn again.

ej shortell

This warm friendly staffed soul food restaurant is a gem. In downtown Brooklyn. The food is good. I liked the jerk chicken. I will go back here. The staff is very friendly. The prices are reasonable. Large portions for the prices. They offer take out.

Jacob Wolf

I’ve eaten at Soul Spot a few times, both via GrubHub delivery and in-person ordering, and the food is outright delicious. I grew up in Georgia and in the last two and a half years of living in the Northeast, finding close to authentic Southern food is difficult. Soul Spot’s catfish, chicken & dumplings, collard greens and mac ‘n’ cheese are the real deal. The only issue I’ve ever had was a messed up order, but they honored it when I walked down to the store and explained. I would recommend this to all of Brooklyn to give a shot.

A. G. Edwards

First time eating from here, and I am truly impressed. Fresh, hot and the portions were perfect. I was full all day from lunch! Definitely going back soon to try other things on the menu!

Andrea L. Granville

I've ordered here a few times. Great portions. I just wish they were more generous with the cornbread!

Brinley Hineman

The best southern food I’ve had since leaving the south. The fried chicken is superb and the greens are to die for.

L R79

I went yesterday. Food was delicious ,only problem was the woman who attended me. She had horrible attitude. Food deserves 4 stars . I won't go back . I know plenty other Soulfood spots that care about their customers with food just as good if not better.

Aksar Azad

It's a lovely spot with the most comforting soul food in all of New York City. The food is certified halal and the servers are very kind and accommodating. Thank you very much.

MurkaBk Flower

My friends live next door to them. Used to get plate from them a Lil bit of everything, it was so good Mmmmm. Everytime I think of Soul Food this is the only place that comes to my mind. On my bocket list to stop by once im in the area again.

Samantha Paige

When I first heard about Soul Spot and there down home cooking I was excited to try it. I was not disappointed, It is real home cooking with great flavors and spice. The jerk chicken is the best this side of Jamaica. The black-eyed peas and rice remind me of home.

Essence Fogie

The food was AMAZING. I was concerned going there when they first opened but the food was ready and absolutely fantastic! I was also concerned by the pricing when I checked online but it is definitely worth it, so much food (I shouldn't have eaten it all in one sitting but I couldn't help it).

Muzik Luva

Turkey wings, mac and cheese,and yams is what i ordered. The smothered turkey wing were good but themac and cheese was disgusting , the cheese tasted sour. I have eatn here before but this time was horrible.

Kristin Bean Collins

After 2 bites, my fiancé and I looked at each other and said “this is a new staple spot.” Best jerk chicken I’ve ever had. Rice & blackeyed peas are perfectly seasoned and the corn bread is the best kind. 10/10 recommended

Richard Gaskins

The food here is EXCELLENT!!!! Cant wait to go back.

Alisia Gill

I used them on a recommendation last Christmas sight-unseen. I stepped out on faith and was glad I did. The oxtails were amazing! I picked up some Thanksgiving desserts this year. Pleased again. Nice spot, nice people.

Dalia Hernandez

I ordered through DoorDash. And even though one of my drinks was missing. I didn’t even care. The food was so amazing and fulfilling. Delivered more food than one can eat. Worth every single penny. Definitely making a visit in the near future. Oh yeah, please update your menu on DoorDash. Thanks

Omar Ebid

Soul Spot is fantastic. Real Carribean cuisine and it's Halal for the Muslims who need some variety! This place is so great I feel bad letting you all in on the secret. Definitely my go to lunch spot during the week.

kendra robinson

I would like to say customer service here is excellent. Sharon had reached out to me in regard a previous post . She was very polite and interested in my concerns . She went above and beyond to make it right .

Sadman Arnob

The beef oxtail is so good. Even they got some got jerk chicken. Compare to food there prices are very low. Love to be there more and more for their food. Keep it up and plz don’t change the recipe...

Sharon St John

The flavor was smooth good BUT, the oxtail and turkey wings both need to be cooked at least another 30 minute to one hour. The meat was still tough.

AbdulHaqq

The food here is halal and delicious! I had the jerk chicken with mashed potatoes and collard greens and a sweet tea(which should have been colder). The portions are good and I'll be going there again.

Win Win

Great food and service. I'll Be Back!

Makhi Robertson

If you're looking for some amazing comfort food, than this is your spot. I strongly recommend giving this place a try. The prices are affordable and the food taste amazing.

brooklyn queen

I love this place best food ever ! They make you feel like family

Matthew Worrell

The food is always tasty but this time I got candy yams, mash potatoes, and jerk chicken and I for sure was not disappointed. And the half and half is addictive and I can not not get one every time I pass the threshold. Good tasty food, never disappointed yet.

F. J

Love it! Yummy. The food is delicious. I'm very picky when it comes to food, but honestly everytime I go to Soul Spot I try different food and I'm never disappointed. Also, the price is reasonable, compared to big name restaurants where you have to pay a lot of money for less satisfaction.

Lawrence Diamond

Really good soul food for a decent price and filling amount. The service is quick with little to no wait. Employees are very friendly and always welcoming. Always space for dining in, most people take their food to go; furthermore, the delivery service is a plus.

Nick Granitzski

Where else in the New York area can you get real authentic Caribbean dishes like curry goat? We like this place so much we are having them cater our daughter’s engagement party. Their catering menu has the best choices anywhere.

Salahdine Baroudi

Great food and greater people! Was introduced to their food through a friend. After tasting how good their food was, I came back less than a week later to introduce it to 3 more of my friends! No joke. 🤤😅 …

calvin winey

A little hole is the wall, but the jerk chicken was awesome. one review said overcooked. but if you like your chicken stewed, spicy, flavorful and fall off the bone tender you won't be disappointed

michael w

A great spot I found years ago, manager is a good guy.. soul food.. good pretty much all the time.

D Hayes

Great Food Great Service. Excellent menu items, food hot and fresh. And of course I will return.

Coiwill 86

Very delicious food!!! Very good service, they gave me a free drink because their was no more catfish. Thank you workers in Soul Spot.

April S Roberts

Never disappointed. Any time that I’m in the area I try to stop by. This is a really good soul food restaurant! Definitely recommend adding their turkey wings to your order!

Quentin Hodges

After living in the south for most of my life, I occasionally get cravings for southern food. Sure, fried chicken is now the "in" thing here in NYC, but what about collard greens turkey wings? Thankfully we have The Soul Spot. Normally I try to keep my lunches under ten bucks, but for $11-13, The Soul Spot will give you a plate piled high with your choice of meat served with two sides and a piece of cornbread. For the same amount of money at a place like Hill Country Chicken, you'd barely get half of the amount of food. I'm not knocking HCC, but the food-to-dollar ratio doesn't compare to TSS. Today my coworker ordered a side of mashed potatoes. The server used jerk chicken juices for the gravy and it was delicious. I've never tasted such flavorful mashed potatoes before. I will admit that I wasn't exactly wowed by their turkey, but all of their chicken (jerk, fried, etc) is on point.

Sarah Lowndes

This is true comfort food. I’m obsessed with the greens and mac n cheese. Thank you to everyone there for being so friendly, too!

Bryan Virasami

Got two dishes for nearly $30 and they were tasty. Plates and presentation was food court standard. Two servers behind counters were either tired or confused. Could get them to say clearly if sides are included in meat dishes. It was a scene of out of Abbott and Costello. Need to work on customer service and training.

Dana Castner

Honestly the best barbecue chicken of my life. Have walked by a million times, finally went in today for lunch via MealPal. Cornbread was delicious. About to become a regular visitor!

B schuler

I love this guilty pleasure. They have all the artery clogging goodies, like mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, rice & beans, yams--and those are just the sides! They have amazing fried ckn, oxtails, meatloaf and con done every other way. Whenever I'm around Carroll Gardens/Boehrem Hill/ BK Heights and Smith Street, I have to stop by here. Scrumdiddleylicious!

Larry Greer

It's not an eating place you can eat out make sure you get your napkins cuz they won't give them to you and the food is great I would advise anyone to go there great prices great food and unique food to you can't get cabbage anywhere everywhere and their Fried Chicken is great you don't even have to add salt

Josh Hernandez

Hands down the best food in Brooklyn! Maybe NYC. So welcoming when you arrive. Literally saw the ladies handing out smiles and hugs to so many different people all while serving tremendous food. Thank you for such a pleasant surprise

Andru Anderson

My brothers and I checked out this place which was way overdue ! The food slapped and the price was solid too! I have to bring more loved ones here! Highly recommend the jerk and fried chicken!

Bunji Fromartz

Not enough flavor. The spicing of the food needs some work. It is eminently edible and the hot sauce is good, as is their jerk, but provisions and sides needs some tender care to hit those highs.

Gabriela Mantilla

Food was delicious and ready when I got there! The Mac and cheese was delicious and so was the jerk chicken. They give big portions for low price! Going back soon :)

Kiana

Great for food when having the munchies. Ordered two meals, one to go. Didn't care much for the heat lamp/water boiled food plates to keep it warm. Definitely need a microwave at home.

J Williams

Very nice people... the food is great! everything taste good not 1 bad thing to say My husband and I will definitely eat here again

Cam D

I have been passing this place for a while but decided to go in today. I must say the Best decision I made. The food was tasty but the Staff made the trip awesome. Extremely professional and friendly, something you dont get alot of these days. Thanks ladies

amal sayed

The food here is great! Lots of delicious vegetarian options also, definitely try the mashed potatoes, they’re so tasty!

Gavin Jackson

Excellent oxtails, baked chicken and macaroni-n-cheese. All the food is pretty good. Best food around. Me and my wife always eat here when we're in the area.

Basher Najjar

I've been here two times. This place does not disappoint. Whether you're eating the oxtails, the cornbread, that sweet peach cobbler, there is no wrong answer here. So if you are someone who does not like to cook but likes good food or are in the area or want a home-cooked meal or don't mind getting fat or like to eat food with their taste buds and not with their eyes. Come here and innie meenie miney moe the options.

Kerry Sprouse

ordered two dinners fried chicken was decent but the fish we ordered was supposed to be whiting but wasn't and was too salty to eat

Ebony Cummings

The food is pretty good but could be better the prices are decent & the staff was friendly with great customer service and the restaurant was clean. I wouldn't get food from here again

Amu Ptah

Straight up soul food! I was impressed. Great staff too.

Joy Love

I'm humble to say that the Owner really was a sweet hearted person he helped me to resolve my issue and I'm still waiting to see if my money will post but the owner provided me with a meal on him and I'm so satisfied!!!!!!!! Thanks Soul Spot! Their vegetation dishes are so delish!

David Berrios

Loved the collard greens and green bean. Wonder if they do cabbage? The oxtail was a bit fatty, they really should trim it. Keep up the good work.

Mohammed Uddin

Great food, super nice staff

Asher Snyder

Can't really ask for more. Good homemade food, good people, generous portions, at reasonable prices. Wide range of soul food. You won't leave hungry 😁. …

Omar Khan

You know those days when you leave it all on the field or in the gym and your body is screaming for sustenance? Soul Spot is the place you go. My personal favorites are the jerk, bbq, or fried chicken, combined with the stewed okra and obviously the mac and cheese + cornbread. After a workout and a stop at soul spot your body will enter a spiritual/physical nirvana/comatose. Happy to have this restaurant close by.

Trivis Plunkett

Very flavorful food and fast service. We bought the lunch menu and received enty as if it were the dinner menu. We will revisit in the future and side note. The women are Gorgeous

jessica Scurry

Small area in front of store to eat large portions they can make the Mac and cheese a little better in my opinion I had the meat loaf it was OK I probly won't go back again being that I've eaten at way better places

Donella Held

Lots of good options for mains and sides here. Most items are available right when you order but a few take extra time, prepared right then. Small seating area with TV. Service is quick and friendly.

Mohammad Alam

The food is amazing here. Great soul food, fresh made, always delicious and the staff is very courteous. I would recommend the meat load, and the BBQ chicken. The cornbread is also very delicious.

Cookie's Comfort Zone

The Soul Spot is a cozy little place in Brooklyn. I was pleasantly surprised. The food is tasty and the portions are filling. You get decent amount of food for the price.

Tads Amazon

Discovered this restaurant from a Google search and they didn't disappoint. Amazing food, great selection with kind and polite service. Does it get any better?

VENON VENON

Taste just the way my girlfriend cooks. The Jerk Chicken, Candied Yams, Rice & black eyed peas was amazing & The banana pudding was delicious. Food makes you feel like your at home. 💯👏🏼👍🏼 …

Sarah P

Love this place's jerk chicken and mashed potatoes. Just super flavorful, delicious food. The portions are pretty big too. Although theyre always out of cornbread haha

Caleb Miller

Just picked up some food, and man is it delicious. I got jerk chicken, string beans, and mashed potatoes. The jerk chicken is fire and the mashed potatoes are perfectly spiced. Can’t wait to get some more

Thomas Hart

The food is freaking amazing and I would recommend you to try this spot out. They have one of the best menu selections in all of NYC.

Degovida __

Tastes like grandmas home cooking. Delicious and the price matches the portion sizes. Money well spent and an awesome experience for me and my girl

Allandria Jean

The food was fingerlicking good. So good it deserved a rhyme. Got the escovietch whiting and it was done off. My husband had the oxtail and he loved it too.

D “Dee”

My family is from Alabama and that is the Soul Food I was raised up on. I think I'm looking for specific flavors and this place just did not meet it for me. Yet the service is good and the food a little pricey.

Cat Mom

Best cornbread I've ever had! Also great mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, and corn. All sides are vegetarian.

Rosalinda T

First time, found it to be delicious! Loved the macaroni and cheese. My hubby loved it and enjoyed the rice n peas:)

NYC Queen

Too many bone particles broken off on the Turkey wings, had to eat with caution as if it was a bony fish. Cashier needs a little more training on when a customer gives exact change.

Herb Vargas

Great food!! Soul food no pork!! Absolutely tasty and very, very good!! No grease glistening on your face but you won't miss it!!

Sherryl Domenech

The food here is pretty great. Awesome size portions and a great homemade quality to it, sure do hit the spot every time.

Tamara Watson

I was really looking forward to there grits unfortunately they didn't have any but everything else we purchased taste really good.

Cinnamon Thomas

Great food!! The chicken dumplings were wonderful.

Patty Gordon

Aaahhhh, soul spot. Bring cash. Great food. So-so customer service and friendliness; limited space for eating in. Did I say great food? Yes, the food is awesome. Worth the price.

DarkKnight K

This is actually my 4th or 5th time here today, 5/28/17... the food is pretty decent, they give you big portions, and the atmosphere is quite quaint. I brought a friend of mine before also, and she too said the same thing. I'll come back again... besides, didn't I mention it was my 4th or 5th visit here? LOL 😎 …

Rustam Khasanov

Lovely place with wonderful staff! Delightful food for surprisingly low prices. You can either eat in or take out, they also offer delivery.

mohammad khan

A ton of food for an amazing price! Their fried chicken and jerk chicken is out of this world. Mac and cheese is great as well! Loved it every time!

Daniel Speller

Excellent food for the soul. Food is delicious. I love collard greens. The cornbread is also delicious and it's free with the meal.

Jeffrey Taveras

Amazing food, small business, black owned and HALAL!!

Levi Robinson Jr.

Attitude of some of the staff needs a lot to be desired. Would rather seek out another restaurant in spite of the distance!

Ant Russ

In my opinion The Soul Spot in the most authentic Halaal restaurant that serves soul food. I visit the restaurant weekly. The taste is great and food quality is consistent. I love this restaurant.

Chasity Green

Food is delicious and you get a big serving! All the workers have always been so nice and extremely helpful when it comes to online ordering.

Momina Ali

Some of the best soul food I’ve ever tried! Food is filled with flavor and the portions are always plenty. Restaurant is really small so I would say have the food to-go.

dino williams

The food was good I was expecting a larger dining area but it was sufficient for our group of 5

Warren Langdon

I have used the catering service of Soul Spot twice for parties and have been very pleased with the food and the service. It is also a great value. I would rather have good hearty soul food than the usual stuff served at many affairs I have been to.

Michael Jackson

Very good food, came up to New York from Philly and saw this place and stopped in, glad i did

Serena Jones

Just ordered Grubhub from Soul Spot because I wanted some yard food. I’m so glad I stumbled upon this place on my account. The food is great and it really reminded me of the food I eat at home :)

Angel Nelson

Everytime i order from them thru doodash the food is so delicious! Anything from here is so good

Terri Sophinos

I have to stop here every time I visit the city and It never disappoints, my go to is the jerk chicken. So addicting!!!

Meiko Harris

Food is really good here, only thing is they tend to run out of food early so I would get there before 7pm. I have had nothing but good dinners here so I have no complaints.

Leo Andriasyan

Best soul food in downtown Brooklyn! They have my favorite mashed potatoes and Mac n cheese. Good wholesome kitchen.

Rooney Farajee

This place is amazing. The food smells great, looks great but most of all the food is hella delicious. OMG the food is orgasmic. Must try, your will not regret it.

Rasheena Alston

Honestly this place is not that great, it's VERY overpriced food for half of the flavors of REAL soul food. But because of the lack of good soul food in the area, they can get away with being called "amazing".

Best soul food I've had in a long time! Huge plates, good prices and great comfort food. Try the yams for sure!

I really love the food from Soul Spot. We order catering from them all the time our company get togethers. Everyone looks forward to food from Soul Spot. The best soul food in Brooklyn.

Food was great and not very expensive. Seating is limited though. A friend got the jerk chicken and he was literally sweating as he ate. He loved it as well. Says he's addicted to the stuff.

Asante Moitt

Impressed! The taste and the amount of food can not be beaten by anything locally. Especially in comparison to the price. Best lunch I've had in months!!

Ramon Diah

Got jerk chicken (which they bake instead of grill) with rice and peas and Mac and cheese. It was ok wouldn't get it again though or say that it taste like Jamaican food

Jay Williams (th)

Great place... Great taste... Mad they don't serve porridge tho... Other than that... Family vibes...

Alex Oates

The staff was nice and I’ve been twice. The water is kinda cloudy and the food can take awhile to prepare. Catfish is good.

The food there is delicious and you get your money worst. Plus the staff there is very friendly.

The mac & cheese needs work and the rice needs a bit more flavor

I wouldn't say that it's the best in Brooklyn..soul food doesn't cost that much to make but for the pricing the portions could be a little more giving.

KASHIF AHMED

Although the food is good, is not great when it comes to "soul" food . They also need to work on the cleanliness
