★★★★★ 5.0 Margra Ferrier · Feb 2026

We visited Soul for dinner with friends. We were welcomed, greeted and seated immediately (reserved through Resy). There was a photo set up for Valentine's Day which was cool! The service was great and the food was absolutely Delicious! I had the pork chop which was juicy and cooked to perfection 🤌🏽 the grits were some of the best I've had. My husband enjoyed the shrimp and grits with Cajun seasoning added. Our friends had the ribeye and smash burger. We all shared bites and everything was great. Will definitely be back!

What a sweet spot! Food was incredible. I enjoyed the Coca Cola Braised BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich and it was decadent. From the perfect pork to the light brioche bun perfectly toasted to the picked onions mixed with the BBQ Sauce. Wow. The fries were perfectly crisped and seasoned. Everyone was super friendly & the service was great. Looking forward to taking the family here for dinner soon! So good!

This place has an elegant spin on southern comfort food. I had the KY Kuban and it was delicious, I have not had a Cuban quite like this but it is by far my favorite so far. The fries are cooked to perfection crunchy on the outside soft and creamy on the inside seasoned well and not overly salty. The atmosphere and bar area are nicely done with a rustic vibe. Staff are attentive and polite and keep this establishment very clean. I can not recommend this place enough. I will happily be back again.

If I could give this place a 4.5/5 I would. Bekah greeted and served me, she was super sweet and efficient- she answered all my culinary questions with grace. The limited menu is packed with quite interesting flavor pairings- I was torn between the shrimp and grits and chicken sandwich (which, if there was pickled onions on it with the pimento cheese and pickles, I’d have gotten that). Alas, I was feeling spicy so I got a spicy marg and the shrimp and grits with a side of house made hot sauce. The marg was very smooth and flavorful, with a tajin rim and lasted just long enough for my food to come out. The house made hot sauce has a Tabasco essence with more of a punch, if I could buy this by the bottle, I WOULD. On to the main dish, the shrimp and grits were the perfect portion topped
