Urban Soul

I've been coming here for years... yesterday I picked up my food and it was all canned, from the glory greens to the nasty sweet potatoes. WE CAN TASTE THE DIFFERENCE. If we wanted canned food we could cook that at home. Y'all should be ashamed. Nothing abt yesterday's meal was fresh the sides were dry and nasty. Y'all lost me as a customer I won't be back. I almost want a refund I threw the food in the trash.

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. IThe 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.

Urban Soul food located downtown Detroit, MI.Food: In a group of four (4), three (3) ordered short ribs and the other catfish. Our sides were cornbread, Mac & cheese, collard greens with white rice and gravy. The short ribs were as advertised, so tender and the brown gravy was on point. The Mac & cheese was just like I like it... cheesy with tender noodles. I was surprised with the cast iron bread, just like mama used to make, the white rice and gravy was just as delicious.Service: Our waitress was so nice and accommodating! I appreciate her pleasant personality and attentiveness. She made the experience all the better.Ambiance: This establishment is good for any size group. They offer carry-out also. The dining area was a little dim however leaning and orderly.

Hi! I have been purchasing the Country Fried Steak from Urban Soul for three years and sad to say that this last time was my last time going there. They normally have great service, however I was surprised at what I found in my green beans smh. I have left photos below. Please look through your food before eating it.

Definitely a mixed reviewWent in for a quick bite, and ordered lunch to go. The menu has all the classics and they make it easy to order over the phone or in person. Now, I'll blame it on the heat and limited separation of the kitchen from the pick up window, but it was not enjoyable to wait 30+ minutes for food while hearing an employee be sent home. Some may see it as unprofessional, others may just take it as comedic relief. Hopefully this isn't a pattern everyday. When it comes to the food, I tried the catfish, greens, candied yams and cornbread. Solid food. Catfish was crispy and not too salty. Yams were perfection. Greens were tender and well balanced. The cornbread wasn't jiffy and was solid. The tartar sauce may be homemade, it was delicious! Overall good is solid. Plenty of parking space for you to wait for your food. Customer service was ehhhhh. Would come back to try the desserts alone as they looked amazing on the menu.

Take out only! Covid will mess up something s, I'll tell ya.The food is still good but the portions are smaller. The collard greens are hands down delicious! Mac and cheese is ok. Fried pork was crispy on the outside tender on the inside. Carrot cake is four layers it's used to be full of nuts, pineapple and carrots and it was really moist and the cream cheese frosting was delicious but they cut back on the amount of ingredients it might be box because the texture is different but for almost $7, I'll pass next time. There's a walk up window to place your order or you can call it. Go give them a try.

I really was going to give them 2 stars but my sweetie loved his meatloaf so up 1 we go. Let me say we spent about $40 for 2 which was our cheapest dinner all weekend. They have an online order system that doesn't have all menu items or any desserts. No problem. I will just add dessert when I get there. Didn't see options for dine in?Arrive about 30 minutes for pick up. The online option said 15-20 minutes but anyone who eats soul food knows to double that time. People are standing n sitting around. I just got in line in front of the window. When I requested dessert got some attitude. We only doing pick up someone in the back yells out. Aren't the desserts cooked already? And your order system has no dessert listed. I said forget it but my sweetie wanted some pie so I walked out and let him deal with that.I got fried chicken, mac n cheese, dressing, and sweet potatoes. I wanted to throw the chicken out. Almost broke my darn tooth. Hard, dry and overcooked. I ate 1 leg and let my man have at it. The sides were above average and as my man loved the meatloaf they get 3 stars. For me, its not true soul food if you can't cook fried chicken

Half slab rib dinner was good, but corn bread wasn't sweet. It was busy on Sunday because of church and football. We waited 45- hour. It was really busy but the music gave a good vibe.

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.

Usually you can count on the food, but today it looked different, it tastes different, chicken had dark spots and had a different smell I don't know what's going on I guess I'm gonna have to let my stomach tell me what is and what isn't , But I learned a valuable lesson I'm gonna start checking my food every place I go because sometimes you'll get anything!
