Urban Soul: Reviews & Ratings
First up they were a bit short staffed, however our server Areana (spell check) was amazing. It was four od us with various specific things we wanted and how we wanted items prepared. She took care of all of our requests flawlessly. I had two catfish filets, mac, and collards. Everything was well seasoned the catfish was fried just right not like some places where they leave it in the grease. The mac was not too dense with just the right amount of cheese and the collards had a nice little kick to them and we're not soggy or crunchy. I The rest of my table had the veggie plate (4 sides) and cornbread. The country fried steak, 4 wings so we pretty much had every side on the menu. Everyone was happy with their food, and the temps were on point. The music in the background was a good volume where you could have conversation or get up and dance if you wanted to get loose. Overall if I ever come back to this city I will eat here again.
I have always had really great meals and service at this restaurant. If you place an order online to-go, they will pack it perfectly, and it will be ready in a timely manner. My family and I dined in a lot before the pandemic, and I'm sure will dine-in again soon.
I had short ribs and mashed potatoes and they were delicious. It was quite a nice portion as well. They're understaffed and need more help. My mashed potatoes and the short ribs were delicious and I highly recommend them.
My son wanted to have dinner at Urban Soul on Saturday. Even with the low rating I was hopeful. We were seated quickly, the waitress came and took our order right away, even though there were a couple of large party groups in the restaurant the same time we were there. it took about 15-20 minutes before our food arrived. I was fine with that I just didn't want my food to be cold. I ordered the catfish, mac n cheese and sweet potatoes. the food was hot and tasty. My son ordered the fried chicken, mac n cheese, sweet potatoes. we were both satisfied with our dining experience.
The food is pretty good. They are close by and have the soul food we are all craving. Lots of variety... Greens, potatoes, yams, chicken, Catfish, and more. Apparently there is a way to order online but I couldn't figure it out. They close at 7 pm not 8, and if you call after 6 pm, they may not answer because they are so close to closing
