Soul Central

For starters I had the smothered pork chops with rice and greens and Mac n cheese for the sides. The Mac n cheese was not good at all. It was very oily and no seasoning. However the collard greens were good and the smothered pork chops with rice were absolutely delicious. I also ordered a lemonade, it reminded me of my mom's lemonade when I was a young girl.You receive a large amount of food!!!

This review is overdue. I used Uber Eats for lunch on Saturday, 11-26-22. Work kept me from a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, so I figured I'd get some of what I was missing. I vegan lunch, 4 sides: candied yams, cabbage, fried okra, mac n cheese, an Arnold Palmer; collard greens, and banana pudding. It was a decent substitute. I also walked in during September 2023 just to get a side of mac n cheese. The cashier was surprised about that being the only thing I ordered.

Soul Central is located on Central Ave. There is a parking lot so no issues with parking. Inside the restaurant itself is small so it is meant for takeout only. The staff is really nice there are no issues with the service. The food is served buffet style. On my visit I got the baked chicken, green beans, mac & cheese and corn bread. Everything was very bland to me. The corn bread crumbled as soon as I unwrapped it. I am willing to give them another shot but my first experience with the quality of food was unpleasant.

My favorite soul food place in Charlotte! I've been coming here for years and it only gets better!

I'm so thankful a coworker brought me here for lunch. A true hidden gem located along central on the outskirts of plaza midwood this place may not look like much on the outside but don't let appearances fool you they serve up some excellent soul food. I got the fried chicken while my coworkers got the smothered pork chops and the meatloaf. All served with very generous portions and the chicken is fried to order so you get it fresh. For sides I got mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese both I enjoyed tremendously. There is no seating inside so you will need to take it to go, but if you are in the mood for some good old fashioned no frills southern food then come on in and pick up a to go plate. Also I meant to get a picture of my food but it smelled so good I had to dive in before I remembered to snap one.

Very basic very bland . Not great portions . Food has very little seasoning . Went once won't be back .

The food is great. Everything's always fresh cooked to order. If it's soul food they got it. Thank you.

Loved this place, it's clean and they have fast service. The fish is excellent, so were the yams , Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes . I would pass on the potato salad. The pork chops were okay, the chicken was good but cold. I don't like cold fried chicken. Prices are reasonable. We were visiting from Cali and went in back to back to eat , so we could get it in one last time before we went home. I would highly recommend.

I had every intention on finally giving this place a 5 star review now that I am in the business of writing reviews However I am disappointed in Soul. When I lived about 15 minutes down the street from here I frequented ALOT, especially during my pregnancy in 2020. My favorite part of the meal was the cornbread, but I don't know WHAT they did because the cornbread I had this time tasted store bought, and way too sweet. This is my first time back to Soul in about 2 years, and the food just did not hit the same. The flounder was delicious, but the greens were BLAND. Go back to the old recipes!

Discovered this place on google when I looking for hood soul food places around Charlotte. The overall experience was really good from food to service. I got the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and Mac/cheese and it was all really damn good. Everything was fresh and seasoned to perfection, the place is kinda small and seating outside isn't too bad depending on weather but I would definitely recommend this place.
