Started NCCU 2024 homecoming weekend off with eating at Let’s Eat Soul Food. The food was great, desserts were great. The collards greens were bland and missing some flavor but the other items were SO good. Definitely affordable. Not a lot of sit down to eat tables but the atmosphere and vibe was great.

We came to Durham from Clayton NC. to go to kale’s kitchen and for AJs Cheesecake unfortunately they were closed so I hear my niece yelling at me from down the way saying Unk come down here to this soul food spot you won’t be disappointed so I did. I ordered chicken and dumplings SMASHED, PORK CHOPS SMASHED, fried fish and chicken and dumplings plate for my parents and my dad picky but he enjoyed his food. I recommend this place highly the staff was friendly and willing to assist with our choices since it was our first time here but I’ll definitely be back. Try this place I enjoyed my first time being here so I’ll be back and then make sure you try their kool aid drinks as well.

The food was okay. It wasn’t terrible. I wasn’t a fan of the baked chicken. The Mac and cheese was flavorful but the noodles could’ve been cooked a little longer. The green beans were okay but those were a little undercooked as well. The Oreo pudding was great but rich. There weren’t major issues overall and the service was good.

We were visiting from California and wanted some good Southern food. Our hotel made some recommendations and this wad one of them. We decided to go to this location because of the higher ratings. We ordered the 9 piece chicken wings with fried okra and mac n cheese, fried fish with collard greens and fried okra, and a kids meal with baked spaghetti. Chicken was seasoned perfectly . All of it (fish, chicken, okra) fried to perfection, crispy not too greasy. Kid approved mac n cheese and spaghetti. I really wish I had the time and appetite to try the pork chops.
Inside dining area is clean and well kept. Staff was very friendly.

The steak burger is a perfect choice. I will also recommend getting the green beans. The mac and cheese is a little bit different. It tastes like they use something other than cheddar, but I can't place the other cheese. If you get hush puppies as a side, it only comes with three, so you might as well get the cornbread instead. Also for desert i got the banana pudding but it wasn't necessary my favorite next time I'll have to try the cakes for sure.
Drinks are separate and i tried the lemonade and Personally I didn't like it the lemonade. It was way too sweet. It felt like my blood sugar was rising while I was drinking it.
I will say that they do charge you for every little thing, the entree and your sides so that I will plan your meal accordingly.

My food was good, not great. The chicken wings were well flavored, but they also were a little feathery 😫 and the greens seemed to have too much vinegar in them but again, the seasoning seemed good. My yams were good and not too sweet like I like them!!! Overall, I’ll give it a 6/10 because I’m very picky about clean wings!!!

The food was divine😋mmm💕! Service was great, not pricey, clean restroom, I had plenty of space to eat comfortably and your food is in carryout trays (good and hot) so you can eat what you can and carry the rest home. It beat standing in a line, trying to get a carryout tray and bag. I had to stop myself in the midst of a bite because that plate was about to be gone😂🤣! I took my pineapple cake home! I don't eat everyone mac&cheese but that was good! A very good menu many items to choose from.

I wanted something sweet to eat. I got a piece of chocolate cake and a mini pumpkin pie. Glenda was very welcoming and explained the menu to us at the expert level. The restaurant had a good family feel. Try it for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

First time here on Sunday, they only had Jamaican food which I don't mind at all. Ordered the Jerk chicken because that always sets the tone for Jamaican food for me. Didn't like their jerk chicken but the sides were good. I'll definitely come back to try on another day to give them another chance. Hostess was awesome and very nice.
