Raleigh Soul Kitchen

I was in town for a concert and had a craving for some real soul food, so we tried Raleigh Soul Kitchen based on the reviews. I ordered the fried chicken, and let me tell you, it came out so fresh and hot it practically burned through the container 😂🔥🍗. The seasoning was perfect and the flavor was on point. There were a few little chicken hairs on a couple pieces, which was a tiny turnoff, but not enough to ruin the whole experience 😅. The mac and cheese and the greens were pretty good too. Nothing disappointing, just solid comfort food. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised and would definitely visit again. The chicken alone is worth the trip 😌✨.

When I opened my to go box of fried cat fish with Mac and cheese and collard greens I teared up. When my wife let me try one of her honey lemon pepper wings, that flavor took me to the recording studio of the gospel tracks they were jamming to in the kitchen. We were eating in the car so I had to grab the steering wheel so we wouldn't crash after that first delicious bite, thing is we were parked and yet I was still singing "Jesus take the wheel." Everyone there was super nice and I plan to go back with a full roll of paper towels this time. Check them out, now!

Worth the drive outside the city! I was so homesick for good food! This place is excellent & the smells are so incredible as u walk in! Fried pork chops so tender & seasoning was on point! My goodness the yams n mac n cheese was rediculously good. Make ya wanna smack somebody! I seriously got emotional at the first bite! It was HOME ya'll..im telling u it was the comfort i needed. The staff came out of the kitchen to say hey & talk about West TN where I'm from & alabama football. It was a great experience overall. Get on down there & get a plate! I can't wait to come back real soon! Which i am! 🫶 thank u for uplifting my spirits & being a blessing just by serving me wonderful food with a smile! Ya'll are the best!❤️ -Susie Q

Raleigh Soul Kitchen is an absolute 10/10 experience from start to finish. The moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel genuinely welcomed — warm, inviting, and proud of what they do. The energy in the place is unmatched, and the hospitality alone would bring me back again and again. Now let’s talk about the food — specifically the lemon pepper wings. Hands down, the best lemon pepper wings in Raleigh, North Carolina. Perfectly cooked, insanely flavorful, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned to absolute perfection. No exaggeration — they set the standard. Everything about Raleigh Soul Kitchen hits: the vibe, the service, and the food. If you’re in Raleigh and haven’t been here yet, you’re missing out. Best wings in the city, incredible staff, unforgettable experie

Catfish was fresh and made to order! Seasoning was spot on. It paired really well with the yellow rice and collard greens. The sticky ribs were really good but a bit too sweet, same with yams— but this just my personal preference. Both were cooked really well. My 7yo enjoyed the mac and cheese! We’ll be back!
