Soul Food Restaurants near Lawrenceville, GA

“Honestly I was a little hesitant to try this because it was a restaurant I’d never tried before. I tried anyways because they have decent prices. My food was delivered timely, in safe packaging, and I even got a complimentary drink for my first order. My food was delicious! The business owner is really kind and even gave me a sample size of one of their other menu items!! My only complaint is that I didn’t buy more!!!!! I enjoyed my experience and I will definitely support this growing business again. Great food, Great Owner!

Vegetarian options: They offer a vegetarian plate with veggies, rice, cabbage, and cornbread. My friend DEVOURED her plate lol.“

“First time here food was Amazing!! Like sitting at home eating my Mother’s Sunday dinner! I will be back when I’m in ATL….“

“The empanadas are very good and the default sauce is pretty good. They used to be overpriced, but prices have adjusted down some which is good to see. Combos do not come with drinks. We only got two sauces with 3 3 piece empanada trios which I'm assuming was just overlooked, but I do know they want to charge if you ask for extra sauces. The chicken itself is expensive for what it is and I probably won't give it a chance. I just can't justify paying the price to try it when good chicken is available all over the place nearby. Service was slow we waited outside for at least 20 minutes for our food.“

“Get over there and get you some delicious food. I had a catfish plate with greens, Mac n cheese, cabbage & dressing and babyyyy it was amazing!!!!!!!!“

“Absolutely amazing! From the food to the service and the atmosphere has a cool vibe. The live performer was incredible and she made the dinning experience wonderful and relaxed. Smothered pork chops, oxtails, greens, cabbage, banana pudding run don’t walk!! We will definitely be back!! Thank you for great meal!!“

“Omg! Every time I’m here I love it more! Absolutely the BEST food, service, people. It’s all 10 stars! I used Suthern Cluck to cater a meal for 48 people (my son’s theater group) and it was raved about for weeks! They are the best at all they do and they do it with a superior execution! Chef’s kiss! 😘“

“Beware..employee made unauthorized charges on my credit card.“

“If you are in need of a food truck for your event, look no further! We were having a huge outdoor party for my husband’s 50th birthday and we had invited over 100 people and we really wanted a food truck where not only the adults would love the food but also not too eccentric where it could please the kids too. I spent a lot of time throughout a week scouring the internet for a food truck that I felt could fit our needs. I found the menus for private parties too restricting and it was starting to feel I wouldn’t be able to find the kind of menu I wanted. A friend of mine whose neighborhood has a lot of block parties and hires food trucks often suggested Soul Truckin Good. She said that out of all the trucks, that was the most raved about and pleased the masses. I had called a few already and felt discouraged with the limited menu for private parties. I might have liked this and that but maybe they couldn’t do this and that together. I felt a little like Goldilocks and the Three Bears trying to find a menu I felt excited about. With the party being combined with our annual St. Patty’s Day party I knew the drinks would be flowing and I wanted to make sure the food was yummy, hearty and filling for a one time guest visit to the truck. So I called Soul Truckin Good, and Jei answered the phone. She has the perfect amount of professionalism, kindness AND understanding when talking things over. The way she described the menu was very easy to understand and I felt like we had great main dish and side dish choices to work with. There was one additional side I wanted even though it ventured outside of the A, B, C type of menu. She wanted to make sure we were happy and she was happy to work with me to make sure we had the menu we wanted. By the end of the process, I felt like I was talking to my friend rather than a stranger. The party was growing by the day. And she talked me through everything regarding the number of people and how much to order, like a pro. Sometimes I felt like she was my therapist, lol, because of the concern I had with making sure everyone would get fed. When you have an Evite for a big party and even if you set a deadline for RSVPs, you will always have those friends that say, oh I forgot…is it too late? Or I know I initially said it was just 2 of us but now it will be all 5, yada yada yada. So we came up with a plan that I felt comfortable with. And not to forget about the food or the guest happiness- the day of the party gets here and the food truck was a huge success. Everyone loved the food. Everything went smoothly, truck was here on-time (even early). They make sure to plan with time cushions to get to their commitments with plenty of time. And there was a line at the end as our time was coming to a close and they stayed until the last person received their order. Can’t assume that will always be the case but I was their last commitment that day. Just goes to show they care about the experience and not just the dollar. I don’t think there are a lot of business owners out there that care as much about making your experience the best it can be. But I can say without a doubt that Soul Truckin Good is one of them!“

“All the way around AMAZING! Just what my husband and I needed when we stopped by for lunch. Best food and dessert that I’ve had in a while. The ladies in the front make it even better 💕 We will be back!“

“Yes I definitely recommend them. Today is my son’s 12th birthday and he wanted some funny little creature on his cake that I made for him. At first he was wanting to put it on with icing and I told him that it can be a pain sometimes especially if he messes up it’s kinda hard to go back and fix it. So I called Decadent Creations and asked Chief AJ if he could print an edible Image. And without hesitation he said yes ma’am I sure can. And I asked him if he could do it small enough to fit in between the words happy and birthday on my sons cake and he said yes I told him that I wanted it 3“ x 3“ and without hesitation he said yes ma’am I can do that. Other places I called either said they couldn’t do it at all or that it had to be in an 8 and a half by 11. So thanks you very Chief AJ. We will definitely use your service again.“

“The food, service, and owner are incredible!

You can see how much passion they pour not only in the food but the community! I got the soul plate they have on Wednesdays and it was delicious

Definitely will come back again and again to support when I’m in the area. 🫶🏽“

“Went today for lunch with my husband and we all enjoyed all the food! We will definitely be back! I got smothered chicken over mashed potatoes, green beans, and yams. I thought I would have leftovers but I it all and now wishing I ordered more!“

“Sadly this business has closed. I have been by a few times in the last couple weeks and they appear to be permanently closed.
Sad to see another good restaurant leave the area.
This pic is from 6:30 on a Friday night 😔“

“African Grill Duluth has become my go to spot whenever I don’t feel like cooking our I’m craving someone else’s food. I have tried the amala w/ewedu, jollof rice, ogbonno, beans and plantain - everything was a hit. I have only done delivery but any time I have called asking question about the menu the host has always been polite and patient. The food is consistent which is really hard for African restaurant. I haven’t been there in person so I can’t comment on the atmosphere but the food is great.“
