West Africans making soul food is a delightful idea, and that is what you’ll find at Soul Spot. The fried chicken is exemplary and its natural accompaniments are two African vegetables, yams and okra. Read more

It's been more than a year and I still remember how good it was. Went for the mac n' cheese, friend chicken and collard greens... THE (hala) soul food spot to go to while along Atlantic Avenue!

"Supersavory" chicken and dumplings tread a delicious murky brown gravy. Moist meat loaf is slicked with an eerie but tasty candy-apple-red glaze. Nicely seasoned collards actually show signs of life. Read more

Not a big fan of the bbq ribs, but I loved the chicken, mashed potatoes, and rice and gravy. All for $18. Lunch deals till 5pm, definitely would come again to try lamb chops this time

This Cobble Hill carryout joint, with a few tables for eating in, defines "soul" as broadly as possible to include Afro-Caribbean and even African cooking. Read more

The Oxtail is simply amazing and as you would expect the fried chicken is on point. Collard greens also delicious.

Got the oxtails and collards and rice and peas. I'd post a photo but there's nothing left but bones. :)

The collard greens and stuffing are great!

Beef ribs appear to have been butchered by a psycho with a chain saw. The BBQ sauce is also far too sweet. Shame really because otherwise the food was awesome.

great fried chicken
Simone M.October 5, 2013
Ordered 9 meals with my team at work. Most of us couldn't even finish it the food was so terrible. We all agreed that the fried shrimp and the candied yams were awesome

Great plantains and collard greens.

False advertisement went out of my way to try this place out with the discount they advertised on four square and the girl at the counter says she can't take it because the manager was not there bull!
Tanya RobinsonJanuary 30, 2013
Couldn't chew through the curry goat. The "cabbage" was mostly green peas & corn. Stick to the oxtails.
David WeinertJanuary 24, 2019
Awful mac n cheese, jerk chicken was ok. More expensive than online menu
Ceie CelestinJanuary 15, 2013
This place is ridiculous. Your 1st check-in gets you a 50% off discount. But the dimwit up front won't redeem it bcz the manager isn't there WTF!!! Idiotic policy=No $$$ from me!!
Kashayia GriffinOctober 27, 2013
Amazing food!!!

I showed my four square discount and they said they no longer deal with four square so I paid full price. Super dissapointed:(

WARNING: They will NOT honor the ScoutMob deal or any other discount here.

Avoid the mac and cheese. Overcooked mac and floury cheese sauce lacks any real cheese flavour.

The food here is phenominal!
