I drove over there after not getting a response via phone, and the place is boarded up and abandoned. I guess things weren't so good for the Good Life.

Went there on several occasions ordered the smothered pork chops, they were salty to the point that they were not eatable. 1 particular Staff was not friendly and argumentative and rude. Voiced my concern to the older black lady and she assured me that it wouldn't happen again. Traveled over 40 miles and was disappointed. This establishment is hit or miss

The absolute worst!!! I've never had dressing with a burned crust on top? The green beans were bland and not completely cooked. I will not return ?

Sent my nephew to pick up some dinners for my grandfather and his wife for his bday. When he got back with the dinners we were disappointed highly. We ordered the red beans and rice and literally was just beans on top of rice. How is that soul?? Just awful. I could have done that myself.

Great food and prices are decent. Long lines but that is the norm for places with gd food. They need to work on their staff handling rush times. I suggest One staff solely for refilling trays, another just orders, and hv a unified system for writing orders on boxes, SChkwht=smothered chicken white. Otherwise this is must visit spot, they have 2 other soul food places close so they hv competition.Great work, black operated, nt sure uf blk owned but a g8 plc 2 experienceSoul food !!!

I've eaten here for a few years but the last few times I was very disappointed with the sides : greens tasteless, mac & cheese not homemade, red beans/rice tasted burnt. Wasn't always like that. And the sides alone are small containers & very expensive.

I was just there food was very salty I was told no refunds and no exchanges. So I’m just out of $15. The workers are nice and they didn’t understand why I couldn’t even get an exchange but they have to listen to their boss.
