    Don’t get me wrong the food is good and flavorful but it’s overpriced soul food. You would be better off going to a steakhouse because after you finish getting your entree and 2 sides it’s the same price for a steak at most steakhouses ($60+). They charge $9-$15 for sides and they aren’t shareable at all they are for 1 person. For example: (Mac & cheese is $15 here & and at Mastro’s it’s $17 and it can be split between 2-3 people). Drinks are expensive, I spent $50 on 2 s’mores espresso martinis and they didn’t even make me feel a buzz, but they tasted strong which makes me think they use watered down alcohol. I seen my server for an added time of 5 minutes and I’m being GENEROUS with that and on the check her “auto gratuity” was $50… which is insane because I barely saw her. I have no problem leaving a big tip if it’s well deserved and the server is attentive, but that was definitely NOT a $50 tip worthy service. Not to mention I was asked if I wanted water and then they charged me $13 for it and it was still water… a steakhouse doesn’t even charge you for water, it’s this is so ridiculous it’s funny. Moral of this is to say that if you come here be expected to pay steakhouse prices for soul fool and don’t think when you see the prices it won’t add up to much because it will with gratuity and taxes that added an extra $80 on my bill which brought the total $350 for 2 people, I’ve spent less for 2 at a steakhouse. Paying almost $400 for a place that sells gumbo and fried catfish is ridiculous, I should’ve stuck with my first mind and went to Tavern On Rush lol.

    Everything about the restaurant and staff was excellent. Maitre D was attentive, check on us periodically throughout dinner. Lively atmosphere, food and drinks were pricey but overall everything tastes good. Would definitely come back.
