Gail's Soul Food

Southern Cooking Done RIGHT at Gail’s Soul Food — Goose Creek, SC New guy in town looking for some real, signature Southern cooking. I needed a break from all that Texas BBQ and wanted some true soul food — the kind that feels like it came straight from someone’s grandmother’s kitchen. I started with Gail’s Soul Food, and let me tell you… I have zero regrets. Every bite was worth it. I showed up around 4:45 PM, just 15 minutes before closing. As soon as I walked in, the lady at the counter hit me with: “We ain’t frying nothing 10 minutes before we close.” No problem at all, ma’am — that line alone told me I was in the right place. I simply asked, “Alright then… what can I order?” I went with the smothered pork chops with rice and gravy, collard greens, green beans, and cabbage. BAM! E

We were in the mood for some good ole southern cookin’ and let me tell y’all, Gail did not disappoint! I ordered the fried chicken plate with collards and macaroni and cheese. I ordered an extra side of rice with gravy and corn bread because I wanted to try a little bit of everything. This food is soul rectifying, stick to your ribs, keep you warm on a cold day…take you to church kind of meal. I moved my food from the To-go box to a plate because the To-go box was SO heavy I couldn’t hold it. This is just a half portion of everything in this photo. Gail’s is real BANG for your buck and I will be returning!

Soooo good! I had the fried pork chop, greens and yams. My husband had the pork chops with gravy, Mac n cheese, greens, the white rice and gravy. The key lime pound cake! And we had the spring rolls with collard greens, turkey and cabbage in it. Our first time having those, really good! We met the owner who was cooking. Nice guy. The next time we’re in in SC, we will definitely stop by Gail’s’ Soul Food again!

Nice restaurant. Good soul food. They forgot my cornbread though and I really wanted it to. I didn't realize it until I had already gotten home in Summerville. That and my rice was a little mushy were my only two complaints.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST SOUL FOOD! I came in a few days before Christmas and had the turkey wing, Mac and cheese, collard greens, white rice and gravy, red velvet cake and sweet tea. Everything was so good I had to come back on Christmas Eve! You can definitely tell their food is made with love. You can taste it in every bite! The best drive I ever made from Summerville for some food. Service was and is amazing. Very comforting atmosphere. You'll only regret not going so what you waiting on lol
