Soulful Dishes

Very seldom do I give a bad review BUT...I would not recommend eating here right now. The owner was so nice and he refunded all of our money. He was the only one there- no cook no cashier. He obviously needs some staff to help him out. For me on our visit, my family could not eat the food. The greens tasted like they were from a can. The yams were runny. The pork chop looked and smelled funny. The cornbread was dry. The food did not look appealing. But, the owner did refund our money and was very apologetic. I sincerely hope he gets it together. He seemed like a hard worker, running a restaurant solo. In a couple of months give this place a try. At some point he had really good reviews.

I really wanted to love this place, was a last minute pick since where we actually went was closed. Arrived as soon as they opened and about 3-4 other folks came in behind us. Their phone was also jumping with takeout orders and I saw a few delivery drivers coming in too. Anywho! I ordered the catfish platter with two sides: candied yams & cabbage with onions. My friend ordered the oyster po'boy with fries and after about twenty mins we got our food. My friend really enjoyed the po'boy, it looked like it slapped but my catfish did not. Boy I've never been so disappointed, of the five pieces of fish, I ate two and the cabbage which was delicious! The fish was just bland, lacked seasoning so I ate what I could with ketchup & lemon. The yams looked candies but tasted like they just poured them out the can and on my plate, didn't taste a bit of sugar. The lady at the register was sweet, and took our orders no problem. I verified they had everything on the menu so I wouldn't be disappointed in my choice. Well that was a bust... The music was dope, a bit of an ol skool vibe and the art was nice. Relatively quiet restaurant. I was visiting Seattle so I can't say that I'd recommend it but probably won't go back. For reference, I am from Southeast Texas, right on the gulf so I know what I know. ‍

It's one of those days go home and call it a day but I didn't. My wife needed a ride to work ok let's go. I can get some bbq at one of the soul restaurants so I drive to simply soulful their closed on Monday, drive to the Fire Pit on Yessler they are gone all together. But on the corner is Soulful Dishes but I'm early half hour they open @ 12. 12 o'clock comes were told the cook is running late. We are offered entrees we didn't want and later told the is a no show.

I thought I was going to get the catfish or chicken, but I ended up splurging on the oxtail special came with two sides. I ended up getting greens and potato salad. I ate the oxtail for lunch with a little bit of rice I had leftover from another meal. The oxtail was fall off the bone tender and the a flavor bomb I had a hard tome not licking the bowl. I hadn't even heard about this place till today when a friend suggested going here since we were next door picking up bbq at The Barbecue Pit.My order of oxtail was $25 and came with two side I selected the greens and potato salad. The potato salad is packed with different veggies and is well seasoned. The greens are good I'm used to some with a little more kick, but still secentI wish I knew this oxtail would be on the menu all the time I'd definitely come back just for it. My friend got the catfish that came with fries. I'm not a catfish expert but one of the better I've had some places are dry from over frying. I gave may friend a piece of oxtail for a piece of the catfish. It was moist and flavorful the coating was nice and well seasoned.

Whoa, maybe I was exceptionally hungry or in an exceptionally good mood but my poboy was outbid this world delicious. I'm beating myself up for not being hungry enough for seconds. In fact, counting down seconds until I can down another one. Seriously though, I really appreciate the service in front and back of house and will be returning ASAP.

My food was dreadful!!!!!I ordered the Lemon Pepper Wings, Catfish, Mac & Cheese, & Chicken Tenders with Fries.. My Wings were undercooked, my Chicken Tenders were tasteless and the Mac & Cheese was sour, complete let down after waiting a hour for my food! $60 went straight to the trash this is my last time going to Soulful Dishes.

Tried this place out the other day & MAAAAANNN. This review is mainly about the "seafood platter" plate. The catfish was DIVINEEE. It was the perfect seasoning and consistency with the batter where it felt coated but light and fluffy. The shrimps were huge and tasty! The collard greens are a 10/10 for me & those candied yams are no joke! The lemon pepper wings were fire, especially if you live for that lemon tang like I do. I was hoping that they were fried, so I was a bit disappointed but I threw them in the oven real quick to make them crispier and it was perfect! The grilled pork chop was pretty good.

I love this place! The food is always delicious and the staff is very nice and helpful. Soulful dishes definitely has my continued business. I highly recommend the catfish and salmon plates and the red beans and rice but there's no wrong choice ;)

Small Quaint spot with limited inside seating. Street parking and orders take time from order to delivery. I would recommend calling order for takeout. There is foot traffic but only two works. The cook and the order taker. The order taker was kind and friendly and was great at letting guest know about the wait between ordering. We dined in the food was delivered to our table. Plates ordered seafood plate, pork chops plate, Salmon plate. Plates come either two sides of choice. One Seafood plate was fried cod and shrimp the other was blackened salmon with grilled shrimp. My shrimp was seasoned and flavorful. The Salmon was prepared perfectly. Sides choices collard greens, MacNCheese, and candied yams. The ladies had concern with the yams, but he remade them. I thought the send try was an improvement. However my ladies wasn't impressed period. Overall my husband loved his salmon plate I enjoyed my plate so we were satisfied. Great portions!

rarely do I review places... this one deserves one. I would not recommend eating here food took forever and when delivered it was undercooked. pitty, Visiting Seattle for the first time.
