Love the food here! The cornbread was drizzled with honey and butter which goes so well. It was moist and just becomes addicting. The meatloaf was so savory but juicy. The gravy did not overshadow the star of the dish. All the sides are so delicious, so highly recommend getting their main dishes to get two sides of your choice. Staff was kind, and gave instant vibes of family comfort.

My first time coming to this restaurant and definitely won’t be my last! I got the jerk chicken w/cabbage and rice and peas, the salmon w/ mashed potatoes and collard greens. The sweet chili wings, and the crab fries with shrimp. The jerk chicken was seasoned, flavorful and spicy 🥵 (yummy). The salmon was well cooked and delicious, as was the collard greens and potatoes. The chili wings are to die for ( omg sooo good) and the crab fries were tasty, as was the soul food supreme egg rolls ( they were crispy on the outside and crazy good 🤪). I also got the passion fruit lemonade which was really refreshing. I will definitely be coming back for more.

I celebrated my birthday at this restaurant with my family back in Feb.2024. Service was amazing, the staff was amazing, my family fell in love with the Owners!!! They were very accommodating even went and got sturdy chairs for those that were extra thick!! It was such an amazing experience My review is so late because NOBODY had pictures of the food we all killed our plates!!!! The food was fire, you hear me fire!!!! Mac n cheese was on point, that honey cornbread delicious!! Everything was amazing my family is still talking about how good the food was. I really wish we lived closer just to be able to order as frequently as needed. Even kids said the food was a 10 out of 10 and highly recommend!!! Thanks again to the amazing owners, chefs and staff.

When you crave soul food, like the Soulful Sunday kind, find your way over to the WRIGHT KIND OF SOUL.😎. The outdoor string lights spotlight its dine alfresco curb appeal. Its Hillside, NJ dwelling place has plenty of seating for a good time. The black/gold tables and bench decor accentuate deep Banker’s green walls. Luther Vandross music to relax to would be the cherry on top.😅 I found fresh made to order authentic soul food lunch & dinner ie. chicken whiting, ribs, potato salad, Mac and cheese, candied yams and collard greens; even appetizers like salmon bites — over fresh mixed greens! The cornbread is so fluffy, you can share a square like the one I tried for the first time (Chef’s treat - thanks!) I shared with another nice customer along with friendly conversation. The staff is bu
