Soul Food Restaurants near Camden, NJ

“Food was excellent ! Enjoyed the band ! I had awesome time.“

“Where a do I begin? A hidden jem surrounded by culture and love. I have been ordering from the owner for many many years and have followed wherever his team has gone. Low and behold he opened a resteraunt/catering. I’ve had him cater a baby shower, funeral and graduation party. I’ve had attendees ask who did the cooking and I can’t praise them enough. Delivered on time hot and ready. Having a cousins family reunion Saturday and who did we call Mylestone…thank you for all the many years of great food, exceptional service. Please try everything on the menu you won’t be disappointed!!!!!!!!“

“BEST FOOD IN TOWN STAFF IS WONDERFUL“

“Food is always good and NEVER disappoints! Soul Food at its finest!“

“This place is catering my wedding. No, I don’t have a fiancé. I’m single, but who needs a man when you have mac & cheese like this? I’m marrying the jerk tofu, and the collard greens are my maid of honor.“

“(EXCUSE MY CAMERA)..THIS WAS FROM OCT 28, 2024… VERY FRESH, VERY DELICIOUS WELL SEASONED FOOD!!! I HAD THE 10 WING DINGS WITH MAC & CHEESE & COLLARDS…. THE CHICKEN WAS IN A SWEET THAI CHILI SAUCE THAT WASN’T DRENCHED IN SAUCE, YET HAD THE RIGHT AMOUNT…. THE MAC & CHEESE & COLLARDS TASTED LIKE HOME!!!…. THIS WAS REAL COMFORT FOOD THAT WASN’T SKIMPED ON OR LACKING!!!… AS A MATTER OF FACT, I’M ORDERING AGAIN TONIGHT!!!… I HAD ENOUGH FOR TWO DAYS UNTIL MY GREEDY GRANDSON CAME THE NEXT DAY & SAID, ‘NA NA, WHAT’S IN THE PLATTER?… CAN I HAVE SOME?’…. THERE WENT MY NEXT DAY’S DINNER!!!.. BUT DON’T WORRY, I’M ORDERING AGAIN TONIGHT & WILL HIDE IT!!!’??. BUT ORDER YOURS, REALLY GOOD FOOD!!!!??. (NICE LADY, I PRESUME OWNER WHO ANSWERS THE PHONE!!!)“

“Friendly service and the jerk turkey wings were fall of the bone good“

“Always a Pleasure to have a Pleasure Platter. The lobster Bisque is my favorite.“

“Some of the best Chicken and Waffles I have had. Went there on Sunday. A great jazz outfit was playing. Awesome spot.“

“Yesterday was my first time coming here and when I say everything exceeded my expectations! The salmon rolls ? babyyyy they were the best! I was going to go back today for more but they’re closed, so I’ll be back Sunday! The food was made with love and care and you can tell! That’s so hard to find in Philly nowadays. The crab cakes were delicious too! The service was amazing as well. I was in the car eating and the chef still checked to see if I enjoyed the food. 10/10 recommend. I hope she takes over the city with her food because it’s definitely needed. Thank you for adding this gem to the city?“

“I’ve had the best take out, from the Hockessin store! Everybody is so friendly there. The ribs, chicken (all ways), smothered pork chops, collared greens, Mac, corn bread, the list goes on. This food, puts you in a good state of mind. It’s like a hug, you can eat. Get some!“

“I have been coming to them for years.And the last time I was there.I see that they have expanded their building for outside seating.The prices are very reasonable and the food is awesome. I didn't care too much for the macaroni however.“

“I had the turkey wings with gravy, yams, and collard greens. The turkey wings were good, but the collard green was a little bit salted for my taste. The yams that I had were not potato but looked to be mash.
Overall, I enjoyed the meal. Maybe the next time things will be much different.“

“GOOD PLAIN WING DINGS AND CHICKEN BITES BUT BITES TASTE ABIT PROCESSED. DEFINITELY COULD ADD MORE SPICE AND PEPPERS AND ONIONS TO FRIED RICE AND A DIFFERENT TYPE OF RICE AND NEED POTATO SALAD AND MACARONI TUNA SALAD ON MENU.I KNOW A GOOD RECIPE.NEED TO BE ABLE TO ORDER BITES AND WING DINGS ALONE WITHOUT HAVING TO GET A PLATTER“

“This cute little cafe is my new favorite spot! I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door. Although I got take out, this eat in cafe was very clean and nicely decorated. The pretty young girl with the head wrap that took my order was very friendly and greeted me with a smile. I had the combo bang bang shrimp and chicken wing platter with Mac & cheese and yummy yams. The shrimps were big and delicious. The wings were very crispy and had a decent flavor without any sauce. The Mac & Cheese was pretty good too. I also tried the pepper steak over white rice that my daughter got and that was really good too! I think I’ll get the pepper steak next time.“

“Had this young lady cater a party for my daughter’s birthday back in MARCH but I didn’t know I could leave a review so here I am now EVERYTHING was absolutely amazing, my daughter’s favorite part was the taco bar ! I will be going back for future events for real !! Good job Amina

“Best in the city ������������������“

“I'm a SERIOUS fan of Tay's Soul Food! The fried Whiting and mac and cheese are OFF THE HOOK! The yams and string beans are perfection! I call ahead and pull up. Easy contactless pickup during the pandemic! Give her a call if you want some soul food but don't feel like cooking. *Only thing is, you need to pay cash in the exact amount if you don't use apple ipay.“

“I didn't get to taste the food because one of her workers had a bad attitude. When dealing with the public professionalism is a must. I could have referred a lot of people that don't know it's there. Your tea was very good and I hope your service gets better. A vegetarian platter would be nice also.“

“I ordered through DoorDash the fish platter with yams and baked Mac along with the jumbo shrimp.

LET ME TELL YOU THE FOOD IS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!!!

I had to call and tell them I was thoroughly impressed!!!!

Run ??‍♀️ and order!!!“

“If I could give 6 stars for service I would. I ordered to the wrong location and without any hesitation they just made my meal on the spot at the one I showed up to. Also the food is great so would definitely recommend this place if you want good food from good people.“

“First time ever at Carlettes hideaway. Sistahs In Transformation met there and I'm glad 😊 to be apart of these group of ladies. The food was absolutely delicious 😋 OMG I couldn't believe it. I will visit very soon shemasmiles“

“I don't want to be that person that give a low rating, so I'll still give 4 stars. I visited the restaurant for the first time in over 10 years. I just remembered that I enjoyed the chicken breast sandwich last time( I usually hate fried chicken breast because people overcook it). I ordered the chicken breast sandwich today and it costed close to $12 for it😑. Mind you they have menus with no prices so I was kinda surprised by the price. I got to the car and there was a band wing and a small overcooked chicken breast! I'm super disappointed because I was really looking forward to that sandwich. Hopefully next time is better. I'll give them another chance since I unintentionally went within 30mins to closing. Idk I guess we'll see! I know I used to love the banana pudding too so I'll probably try that again too to see if it's still good.“

“Traveling to Philadelphia, I wanted to support a black-owned business. I found BlackHen like most people (through social media of course). The name and the bold decor caught my eye. So creative! I made reservations on Open table (as it's a smaller venue) HIGHLIGHTS: Bri was our waitress , she was very polite and kind. I ordered the 4 wings, with collard greens and candied Yams. I also ordered a Mac and cheese. Oh my goodness... the food was all that. I thought I was in the South. Everything came out hot 🔥. It was crazy delicious. Chicken was fried just right and seasoned so well. My taste buds waa trying to figure it out! Greens were just right not too vinegar and not too sweet. They also had a "kick' to it. Candied Yams could really be the dessert. It was good. The Mac and cheese was.on point. ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT: The meal didnt come with bread or cornbread (I didn't realize it till I was finished) Music- I thought i saw somewhere, that R&B music waa played. Rap (with explicit language) was the only thing in rotation. My daughter is 15 and she commented to me about the music since there waa a family there with two minor kids Please dont look at this as a negative review. Whenever. I'm in Philly. I WILL visit again. The branding caught my eye, but its the food that will have me return.“

“So yummy! Fast and delicious food with really nice staff! Would definitely buy again!“

“Friendly staff and tasty food.“

“This place was awesome. Best ribs in town. I highly recommend their food.“

“I read the reviews after i ordered and was praying my food wasn't nasty but my food came fast and surprisingly from the reviews. Everything was amazing and good and im a picky person. I usually read reviews before i order i actually wanted chick fil a but everytime i clicked on a restaurant to order my order didn't go threw because the restaurant closed while i was browsing. I decided to order from here and i will be ordering again surprisingly they close at 10 i ordered at 9 something my order got to me still hot etc ar 10:10 exactly. I dont know if the reviews are lies or whatever but TRY IT LOVED IT. Me and my kids couldn't even take a picture cuz we ate it too fast lol thank you kesha kitchen“

“It was my mother birthday my first time coming to SY'S soulfood palace to buy some soul food took it to my mother she said the food was very good.12/20/24 I went to SY'S soulfood place this is my third time the food is so good 10 stars“

“Jamil’s Cafe catered my daughter’s baby shower. Food was excellent. Arrived on time fresh and hot. He set up and gave me extra equipment. Everyone loved the food seasoned to perfection. The professionalism I received from beginning to the end was outstanding. Definitely booking again :)“

“Everything that I’ve tried this far has been excellent!!!! Haven’t had good soul food in a while and this was definitely good soul food. I hope they start serving fish and grits or shrimp and grits too.“

“Beat Ribs and Sides in the city.“

“My great friend, Jonathan, introduced me to this marvelous establishment. I got fried fish, cabbage and potato salad. Everything was scrumptious. Made you feel as though you were at grandma's or aunty's. Topped it off with coconut cake. So good!!!“

“THE FOOD IS GREAT !!“

“I took 2 bites out of the Mac n cheese. Instantly picked my phone up and had to leave a review. This is Sunday afternoon grandma back in the day Mac and cheese. I haven’t bought Mac from a restaurant that was actually good in at least 20 years. Moved over to the wings and broccoli. Bruh. New customer . See yall soon lol“

“First and foremost I love the location and decor of building. Awesome Awesome Customer service. Menus were legible and neat. Food was prompt and on point. OMG the Turkey wings are gonna drive you guys crazy! The Mac n Cheese had to come from someone's grandma cause it's on point. Highly recommend to go there because I'm definitely going back myself. Thank you Favors keep up the great work!

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options were awesome as well“

“Keeboom's has amazing food. This is a soul food spot where no additional seasoning needs to be added to your food. The food portions are on point. My platter had some weight. The service and atmosphere are not rate-worthy, since you're served out of a window on the side of the building. There is no building access to rate the atmosphere. I will say the area outside the building was trash and debris-free. Once again, the food is amazing and I would highly recommend Keeboom's to anyone who enjoys seasoned food!!!“

“I’m from the South, and this food is TheBomb.com!!! The salmon, mac, yams, green beans - all cooked by blessed hands!! Large portions, seasoned to perfection, excellent customer service!!! This is a business that I can support lifelong. Great job, y’all!!!“

“Beautiful souls, making beautiful food! 😋😋😋“

“Couldn’t think of what to eat for lunch. Was driving by Vernie’s and remembered how good the fried chicken is. Stopped in and saw a family member ordering chicken too! That was my confirmation. The best fried wings I’ve had in a long time! Perfectly fried, golden and crispy. I had to call and tell them how good the chicken was lol. Thanks Vernies!“

“Me and my husband was on a inventory run for our soul food restaurant located in Johnstown pa we literally Rode by this spot my husband said make a u turn when he went in for a menu he was instantly excited to see it was black owned business after calling me into the restaurant the owner greatly blessed us with a seafood salad potato salad & this blue juice omg the best highly recommended this spot great customer service food smells so good in you can tell it’s cooked with LOVE…..“

“Forget what everyone else talking about. They have great customer service here. The fellas went above and beyond to see that I was taking care of. They could have refunded me my money but instead without me having to ask they offered to bring me the cake they forget to put in my uber eats bag. I appreciate yall.“

“I’m late but my family and I ordered catering food from Just To Serve You first time for my Aunt’s repast and everything was delicious, which we only ordered the side dishes. Then we ordered again for Easter, this time we had catfish, greens, mac and cheese and yams and again, everything was delicious. Just To Serve You will now be our place when we don’t feel like cooking for a lot of people.“

“Seafood is SO GOOD! Very clean and professional“
