Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Soul Prime delivers "amazing food" and "great service" in a cozy, intimate setting reminiscent of "grandma's home cooking." Highlights include the "incredible" collard greens dip and crispy fried chicken. While service can be slow during peak times, the welcoming atmosphere and "flavorful" dishes make it a must-visit for soul food lovers.

    Excellent appetizers, and I got my main course to go, which was even delicious when I got home.

    The wait was over an hour for our food my mom jerk catfish was more on the sweet side. They only had one waiter taking care of the whole back section. We didn’t enjoy our dine in experience at all. What a waste of 260 dollars

    Everything we had was so good! The fried green tomatoes, collard greens dip, & the buffalo shrimp set the tone for appetizers. I had the short ribs & grits for dinner. The short ribs were so tender & the grits so smooth & creamy. My partner had the pork chop & we also got the greens & cornbread sides. Our friends who ordered the smothered chicken, fried catfish, Mac & cheese & red beans & rice were just as happy with their food. Definitely 10/10. I have been telling everyone I know to check them out if they haven’t visited already.

    It was a 3 hour meal due to cook to order. Service was ok. I can tell it’s a new place. They focused on an influencer and made us wait
