Simply Soul

The food here is really REALLY good. And the lady who welcomed us was very nice. I had the smoked chicken and ribs with the greens and mac and cheese sides. As soon as the greens hit my tongue I knew the rest of the meal was going to be legit..AND WAS! Everything was so tasty. I live in Toronto and this food is definately worth the drive. You have to check them out if u craving soul food! 10s across the board!

Food was soo good and flavorful. Loved the catfish nugget appetizer and how everything was served hot and fresh. My niece got the bbq ribs straight off the grill. I got the catfish/ shrimp dinner with candy yams and Mac and cheese. Red punch was my drink of choice. This black owned restaurant is a Must Go To (i even liked their tartar sauce and i never ever eat it elsewhere! Only 2 miles from Niagara Falls+++. Thank me later.

Drove to NF today to try Simply Soul for lunch. There was a little wait for the food to get to our table but it was worth the wait. Had the $22. roast, that comes with 2 sides. I had the yams and collard greens. My husband got the $25. fried fish and shrimp with macaroni and cheese, and green beans. Everything was great.

This place should be a top spot on your list of eateries in Niagara! Our last night in Niagara was New Year’s Day, dining spots were hard to come by. After two failed attempts at other places being closed, we landed at Simply Soul. It was just under an hour before close, but we were friendly greeted and seated. We were a little hesitant as we were the only patrons dining in, but after sitting for a few minutes we soon realized this place was a local favorite, as their DoorDash orders were hopping until right up to closing time. The owner knew several customers by name & told their dashers to be sure and wish them a happy new year. We ordered Fried Chicken & Oxtail with rice- Collards, Mac & Cheese, Mashed Potatoes & Gravy, Fried Cabbage, and they threw in some free black eyed peas for luck

The food and portion sizes were phenomenal. Food was seasoned well, came out hot and was well worth the wait. We tried a few different options: Fried Shrimp appetizer; Fried chicken with dirty rice & Mac & cheese; Oxtails over rice, yams & Mac & cheese. SLAMMING. The waitress was kind, warm, welcoming, and served us with a smile. The restaurant was close by our hotel in the Niagara Falls area. Atmosphere gets 4 stars because although it’s a Black owned friendly, family restaurant, some staff members had on head scarfs and plain clothes, no uniform shirts or anything. Just my opinion, other than that, I’d recommend this restaurant hands down.
