Soul By The Sea

1st time ordering from Soul by the Sea through Doordash. I order the Turkey Wing Platter with Mac & Cheese with Collard Greens. Honestly I was disappointed !!!! It seem so hard to find a good soul food restaurant in the West Philly area, I was hoping Soul By The Sea would meet my expectations.Turkey Wings, were well seasoned but a bit tough and dry. They appeared to be baked, then deep fried for a few minutes to give the skin a crunchy/well done exterior. I get it but it was a absolute fail !!! Barely 2 stars !!Collard Greens just didn't taste good to me. The pieces are way too big, they need to cut the greens much smaller, or someone will choke. They had a light burnt/vinegar undertone taste. Not even 1 star !!Mac & Cheese was decent. It wasn't great but not bad, nevertheless it was the best part of the platter. 2 1/2 stars !!!Soul By The Sea, wasn't for me... 2 Star review !!!

Hidden gem in West Philly .. prices are good too would recommend if your in the area and for delivery

Food at this restaurant was not seasoned well, and the macaroni was burnt. Better effort should be put in the preparation of their food.

I recently tried Soul By The Sea via a delivery service. On the delivery app the restaurant is described as a black owned. I tried the Shrimp Fried Rice with Broccoli. The meal was very filling and full of flavor. The fried rice is $12.00 on the app and they give a lot of food. I received four large shrimp on top and cut up shrimp mixed in with the meal. The large side of buttered broccoli was a good addition. I'd definitely order this meal again.I also ordered the fried whiting fish sandwich and a side of macaroni and cheese. I ate the fish the next day heated in the oven. The fried whitening was delicious. It cost only $7.00 for the sandwich. They give 4 large pieces of fish with 2 slices of bread on the side. I ate it with the cayenne sauce packs included. My sis bought a platter of fried shrimp and fries. I tried one of the shrimp, the seasoning was very flavorful. The fries were too greasy for my taste but the one shrimp I tried was delicious, so I'm definitely getting an order of 6 next time.

I've gotten food delivered from here several times and it's always good! Fried fish is good and the grilled chicken sandwich is decent too! Also, I believe they're Black-owned and I'm ALWAYS down to support Black business! Give them a try

This is my second time ordering from Soul by the Sea, I love supporting Black owned businesses. The first time I ordered the salmon fried rice. Upon opening it it thgt the piece of salmon on top was small but then I also found some pieces throughout my rice. The rice was kind of bland as it only had some green peppers some garlic pieces and salmon in it, along with a few broccoli buds. I thgt the garlic was a nice touch but also felt like the rice needed more seasoning or something added to it. My second order was two fish sandwiches with fries, the other with greens. I also ordered the salmon fried rice again and a 6 piece of fried shrimp. The fish was good for the price point, you got a few strips of fish on the sandwich. I was pleasantly surprised with the collard greens. Most of the time I order greens out of restaurants I'm disappointed. These greens were fresh and cooked almost like mines. The shrimp was ok I did eat them but they were Alittle overcooked. The salmon fried rice was slightly different then before when I got it. The salmon was a little dry, the rice now had onions and eggs in it but still no real flavor to it. I got much more broccoli Then before. I'm actually gonna eat my leftovers in a few and pair it with some shrimp and Seasame oil. I like this place and see it's potential so I'm not giving up on them but I do think there's room for improvement, and consistency is key. I also think their prices are cheaper then most other seafood places. I ordered thru Uber eats and My delivery was also fast, they had plenty plastic ware and condiments in the bag which I appreciate. I only have a next day pic of the salmon platter.

Excellent food cook to perfection, they also deliver, budget friendly, the staff is always so pleasant

I normally love this place but was disappointed today the salmon was so rubbery dry and overcooked and couldn't be eaten even after drowning it in the butter from the potatoes and broccoli. Taste like it was precooked them warmed up 0/10 for sure

Craving soul food for my birthday, being new to Philly from NYC, Soul By The Sea saved my day. The biscuits go crazy. Crab legs on points. Fried shrimp & clam strips fried perfectly. I was craving cornbread more than anything else and that jawn hit. Definitely ordering from here again

Food was greatRice had EXTRA salmon throughout the bowl and was seasoned to perfection Salmon was amazing and they switched out my broccoli for corn and with no hassle and no extra charge (super sturdy)Fried shrimp platter was good too
