★★★★☆ 4.0 King Roshi · Oct 2025

The atmosphere here was fantastic! It looks and feels upscale yet affordable. I had Collard Greens, Mac & Cheese, and Meatloaf!!! Yes Meatloaf! The Mac & Cheese phenomenal 😋! Collard Greens left something to be desired but I think its more of a me thing, they had some meat in them but not much. Still passable though. The Meatloaf felt like it's been sitting for awhile. Which is my fault I went there last minute right before closing and they were only doing to go orders. It still had tons of flavors just was a little tough but I can tell if I got there earlier it would've been great! I gave the service a 3 star because I didn't really get to experience any service I was there for all of 5 mins but I can't wait to go back because people the atmosphere alone is worth it! So if you're into Sou

Great customer service. I had the Fried pork chop with collards and yams. Collard was great after I added pepper sauce. Yams were yummy. Cornbread was blah. Could not even crumble to eat with my greens.( southern eating) Mom had fried chicken with cabbage and yams. Chicken was delicious and fried perfectly. Yams had a bit too much nut meg for her and cabbage was ok. I must say if you can't make cornbread. You can never go wrong with jiffey. I ❤️ collard with cornbread.

Screaming all the way from The Historic Town of Hobson City AL, THANK YOU! Today was my first experience at The Velvet Spoon. The Mayor and I stopped here on the way home for some soul food and I must say this is the BEST soul food away from home! They young lady at the front desk was so pleasant and everything was done in a timely manner. God Bless you all and we will certainly be back!

Tried for the first time yesterday, around lunchtime. I had the meatloaf, mac and cheese and turnip greens. Service was fast, and the food was good. I didn't get a picture of the blue velvet cake, but it was delicious as well. Will go again during dinner so that I can try one of the mac and cheese bowls. The menu after 4pm is different than the lunch menu.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 April Coleman · Oct 2025

Pork chops were ok but not as good as I expected. Collards were not good enough to eat until I added hot sauce. They tasted like they were from the can. Macaroni and cheese looked great but it was tasteless. The cornbread muffin was ok but kinda hard. If I patronize again I’ll be trying something else. I was disappointed but I ate it.
