Serious Soul At Cubby's

Every dish we ate here was amazing. From the collard greens, to the potato salad, to the light and fluffy hush puppies. My husband had a pulled pork sandwich that was the perfect mix of sweet and smoky - plenty of pork, on a pillow soft roll. I had a perfectly battered and fried piece of chicken and my favorite type of cornbread - sweet and cakey. Whatever you order, you can't go wrong. Don't be fooled by the humble trappings - this is 5 star food.

The three stars are because this place is definitely A-OK but for my husband and I it is a bit forgettable. If you're in the area and want quality food that is definitely good, sure, this is your place. The lady who served/cooked us was super nice too.There is no indoor seating, only outside or to go. Drinks selections are canned or glass bottle. Prices are kind of steep for the area tbh. Our whole meal was $60+ but again, you're patronizing a locally owned business so that's a plus.Food: my catfish was fine, unseasoned, and it's pretty much on par with other soul food places in Tacoma, such as Pacific Southern Kitchen. Fries were good but unseasoned. The fried chicken was definitely different in that the coating was super thin and unseasoned. See the trend here? The potato salad was nice, very mustardy but that's all I could get out of it. Corn bread was fine, kind of low-key, very forgettable. Honestly, I prefer the buttered biscuit's. Finally, the Mac n cheese was the star. The consistency and cheesiness was great...but??? You guessed it! Unseasoned. Overall, quality food, very under seasoned if not unseasoned at all, with a very nice lady working everything, but we have had better.

The burger was big for the price. And the catfish is as delicious. Service was good southernly hospitality. Highly recommend if you need some good Cajun food.

THE BEST FOOD I HAVE HAD IN THIS STATE. I went here for the first time recently and I can not shut up about it. we got a rack of ribs, pulled pork, potato salad, hush puppies, and a slice of pecan pie. everything Was cooked to perfection. The meat was tender (ribs fell right off the bone) the hush puppies were the perfect balance of substantial and delicate with a complex flavor palette (the way they should be) and the potato salad was so good I bought a second to take home to enjoy with our leftovers today. The woman running the show Dee was incredibly lovely. I have not one bad thing to say about this place. We went later in the day so the were sold out of the mac and cheese but that's okay just another reason to go back again soon. Go to Serious Soul if you love yourself and food.

I had the Catfish PoBoy OMG the bread was super fresh. The catfish was melting in my mouth. Definitely going back for more, Exceptional customer service over the top.

This place is amazing! The owner is such a delight and wears a beautiful smile throughout our entire dining experience. The food was delicious my family and I had a variety of dishes and each was flavorful, tasteful and just that southern taste we were craving! Please go check it out for yourselves it's great!

Very friendly small business with great food. Everything is made to order. Best cakes in town!!

Felt like some soul food and ran into Serious Soul. Walked in and there a couple tables so not a lot of room. I saw someone walk behind a the pop machines so maybe there's more seating there. I was greeted and the lady behind the counter was really nice. Asked about the menu and ended up buying 3 piece Fish dinner Mac N Cheese & Red Beans w/ Rice. Oh and some Peach Cobbler....I wasn't playing games. Fish was good...Creamy Mac not baked....Red Beans were ok....Cornbread was ok....Peach Cobbler was ok and I wish it was warm/hot instead of being in a refrigerator. While I was there it sounded like the people were ordering the chicken. Overall if you want some food swing by and check it out.

Food cooked right before you eat it. The jo jos were fantastic. The catfish was excellent though a bit salty for my taste. Very filling, good portions.

The oxtails you gotta go there and get you some oxtails and some mac & cheese, collard greens, red beans, and rice and cornbread
