Soul Food Restaurants near Southgate, MI

“Delicious food and friendly staff!!!!“

“The food we ordered was absolutely delicious, even the cornbread that we had to force ourselves to stop eating lol! The service and vibe was great as well. The only thing I didn’t like was walking up the stairs to the dinning area. I want to bring my in laws but they don’t do stairs and if I recall, it’s like 2 flights. Also, as we were walking up the staircase, we encountered an unpleasant musty smell. I plan to return because the food was that good but I hope the smell will be taken care of by then.“

“Had a taste for Soul Food. I was traveling 75N through Detroit and wanted to find an authentic place right off the interstate. When I got my food and had a side of hot sauce that I didn't specifically request, I knew this was the real deal. Took me 10 minutes to get there off of the interstate. Most people probably place their order online and pickup because there is no in person dining. Option 2, which is what I did, is to walk up to the window and order. My food took about 20 minutes to get ready. I ordered 2 plates. Each plate comes with 2 sides. The serving size is large so you definitely get your money's worth. I'm from the South. The food reminded me of home. Altogether between both plates I tried fried porkchops, meatloaf smothered in gravy, collard greens, yams, Mac and cheese, and cornbread. I will definitely stop here again.“

“We went for the first time last week and I expected it to be good, but it was fantastic! Loved the decor and atmosphere, staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was fresh, very well prepared, and the flavors perfect. Absolutely will return.“

“As soon as I got out of my car, the smell of delicious food assaulted my nose. I was hoping the food was as good as it smelled. I was not disappointed. Even though the food was basic, everything was seasoned just right & that made the difference. The jerk wings were not jerk to me, but had a nice smokey flavor. The mac & cheese did not look that great & I wish it had been baked longer, but was still tasteful. I prefer fresh green beans these days, but theirs was the old school kind with potatoes & again, seasoned just right. The cornbread was sweet if you like a Jiffy box flavor. The wait time was a standard 15 minutes. The decor is very old & outdated, but there are a few tables if you'd like to eat inside or wait for your food. I drove over 30 minutes to try their food and If I'm ever in the area again, I'd return.“

“I recommend the chicken, ribs, yams and Mac…. Even the koolaid was freaking amazing! I’m a very indecisive person and when I walked in, I couldn’t choose, so I just ordered everything I knew I’d eventually eat. One rib dinner is def enough for two meals. The wing dings were amazing too! And it travels well. Lord knows that delivery man was very easy on the eyes! Fast, fresh, friendly, SEASONED, authentic food for the soul! Perfect way to end a spa day!“

“We seen this place on the Internet and oh my gosh it lives to the standard for sure the turkey leg was amazingly good and tender. The chicken I had the week before was great. My man said the fish was on point all the sides were good and I’m a green girl the greens were an A+. I do understand it’s a lot of people, but the service to me was a little chaotic. I felt rushed to order and I felt like I didn’t want to ask a question I was gonna get the evil eye.. lol“

“Love Karaoke on Fridays and the smothered turkey chops! yum“

“I recently dined here with my significant other; 12/28/25 just as an “wind down “ intimate dinner prior to the end of the year. I had frequented Savannah Blue a few times, however this was my guy's first time. We both ordered the salmon with grits which was well prepared and seasoned to perfection; very delicious. The atmosphere was warm and cozy. The music level was a bit loud. We had to talk loudly to hear each other. Our waitress, her name escapes me, was very attentive and friendly. She made our dining experience pleasant. I will definitely be bringing my guy back again. He was really impressed.“

“I come and eat here every single day. I love the pulled pork, and the Mac and cheese. Chicken tender deal is a great offer. The BBQ ribs are amazing. Beyond amazing. This is a location inside of a gas station do not sleep on this stop. If you're local or far the prices and great and the foods even better.“

“Great“
