Soul Food Restaurants near Deerfield Beach, FL

“Love love love the strawberry crunch cake and the lemon crunch cake. Their desserts are delicious!!“

“Excellent dining experience for "foodies" in particular--lots of taste sensations and nuanced preparations, perfectly plated. Put Kitchen on your "must try" list. There's much to extoll here, with a few minor quibbles. Homey yet chic atmosphere, and a lovely curbside patio dining area (short wait at the simply decorated bar before being seated inside, great corner table for four). Noise level is surprisingly low for an overall intimate space. Very professional and eager to please wait staff. Dinner was nicely paced, never felt rushed. Drinks are amply poured, though a tad pricey, as is the interesting and well chosen wine list. Consider bringing your own special bottle of wine for a nominal corkage fee, as we did. Excellent stemware. But it's all about the food! Standout appetizers included the charred crab cake; ahi tuna; and crispy eggplant/roasted peppers/burrata. "Fish of the day" branzino, seared scallops, chicken schnitzel, and the "special" duck breast entrees were each outstanding! While some other reviews mention "small portions", we did not find this the case. In fact, too full, we four shared one sizable coconut cake...off the charts! Chef-owner Matthew Byrne is certainly worthy of his many accolades. We wish him continued success--much deserved. Go! Enjoy! D. Slater, Boca Raton“

“I found this place online and took my out of town family there for breakfast. They have been there over 20 years. The food was excellent for the price. The woman at counter was pleasant. It’s a little off the beaten path, but worth a try.“

“I’ve been to this restaurant twice and the food is pretty great. The fried turkey (taso) dinner comes with black rice, salad, fried plantain, and salad. Parking in the plaza could be improved, but I’ve never had trouble finding a spot. I’m excited to try the rest of their menu.“

“From the moment we walked in, the experience at this restaurant was amazing. The owner, Mily, greeted us with a big smile and made us feel so welcome. She was incredibly hospitable—she even offered my mom a small taste of the legume before ordering, just to make sure she liked it. That level of care and kindness really stood out. Mily also walked us through the ordering process, explaining each dish and helping us feel comfortable with our choices.

I ordered the legume white rice sauce pwa plate and the tassot with diri jon jon, and let me tell you—it was phenomenal. The flavors were amazing , and everything was cooked to perfection. The restaurant’s playlist set the perfect mood, good music and playing at just the right volume not loud. Plus, the restaurant
was spotless—tables floors, were clean.

You can tell Mily truly cares about her customers and takes pride in every dish she serves. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was personal, and the food was absolutely delicious. We’ll definitely be coming back! If you’re in the area please come check her out!“
