Soul City: Your Destination for Authentic Comfort Food in Jamaica, NY

Listen, I drove 40 minutes to get here and I don’t have any regrets. Get in your car and go. I don’t play about my Mac and cheese AT ALL okay!! She let me try it and I smiled like a kid on Christmas. The ladies up front were so sweet and welcoming with beautiful smiles. Food is a big part of any review but the customer service and the vibe is even more important. Thank yall so much and I will be coming back!!! I wish this restaurant abundance, prosperity, and wealth. God Bless you guys at Soul City! ($38 for two platters and a side of yams)

The food is great. It's not an eat-in place, all orders are to go. It was a 10 minute-or-less wait. I ordered the whiting fish sandwich and it was fabulous- the fish was fresh- cooked upon request, flavorful and not oily at all. The best whiting I've had in a while and not the fake whiting that some places pass off. I would be a repeat customer just for that fish, but the Mac & Cheese and string beans are delicious too. BTW, it's around the corner, not on Merrick but front on 115th Ave. Do not pass this up, give Soul City a try.

Its takeout only. This restaurant has really good food. I dont take the time to write many reviews but I was impressed. Its a tiny shop that's puts out meals that remind you of home. I came 20 minutes to closing and I got fried wings, Mac n cheese and candied yams. I waited maybe 10-12 minutes. My food was hot including the sides. The wings was juicy and seasoned to the bone. The mac was cheesy just like your grandma makes at home and the yams was sticky and sweet. Flavor was not overpowering at all. The server even threw in a side of green beans which was tasty as well. The place is small but clean. The storefront does not scream come inside but believe me you will not be disappointed. Give these folks a try. I would have included photos but i sampled the food and didnt stand a chance.

I checked this spot out with some of my friends and I LOVED IT ! We got the catfish, cabbage, mac and cheese and candied yams. When we got there lots of stuff were sold Out but we were looking forward to the candied yams however they ran out. When we came back to pick up our food they restocked on the candied yams and the girl at the front told us she got us and gave us a great portion of it because she knew we really wanted to try it. She let us try the cabbage which was actually really good. Usually I skip out on the cabbage at lot of soul food spots but it’s great here. Support this business! Super well deserved.

This the spot! The food was great! The price was great! I had chicken wings, shrimp, mac n cheese and green beans. Everything was tasty! It definitely scratched my itch for some soul food! You have to try it!

Food is very well prepared. It is a small spot, that by 1st glance you may overlook. I found them online while driving for work so I happened to be in the area. Food is very delicious, I highly recommend, I gave 4 for the atmosphere because as I said it is easy to overlook but if you get a chance check them out.

If you are looking for some delicious soul food, come to this spot. Yes it is a hole in the wall but these are the types of places that have the best tasting food.

I couldn't post my experience at Soul City fast enough! My family & I can't stop talking about the best soul food we've eaten at a restaurant in a while. Everything was top tier , customer service & the food. The young lady who prepared our meals to carry out gave us samples of everything we purchased & yes we were thoroughly pleased. I highly recommend this establishment if you're visiting out of the area and in the mood for some delicious soul food. Sometimes it can be difficult finding restaurants to satisfy your pescatarian diet but thankfully I came across this lil gem in my Google search yay!!! My catfish with green beans Mac & cheese & yams was amazing . I was so focused on my meal I forgot what my sister & nephew hadThe portions were great...we were all so full afterwards & still had leftovers.. I usually post my reviews when I get back home from trips,but in this case I had to make an exception. We're already in talks about going back on our last day here. I already know I'll be revisiting for any future visits back to NYC. Well deserved 5 stars!!
