The Good Life Soul Food Cafe serves delicious food at decent prices, attracting long lines of customers. Despite some issues with staff handling rush times, this black-operated spot is a must-visit for soul food lovers. Their menu includes tasty options like smothered chicken white and a new egg roll with mac & cheese, along with vegetarian choices like greens and sweet potatoes. The food is generally consistent and the restaurant’s mission to help the youth on the south side is commendable. It’s common to see high school students working there, both serving and helping in the back. Parking is available, though the lot is small, and most people pick up their orders. The cafe is wheelchair accessible, making it easy for everyone to enjoy the experience. Customers appreciate the good service and the effort to invest in the community, making it a meaningful place to enjoy soul food.
