Soul Food Restaurants near Camden, NJ

“I had a wonderful experience at Millie‘s kitchen. The food was delicious and the customer service was excellent from start to finish. Millie personally attended to my needs and was both kind and professional throughout my communication with her. She even followed up afterwards to make sure we enjoyed the food which truly showed how much she cares about her customers. Walking through the restaurant to pick up my food I observed the ambience, it was beautifully thought out, relaxing, and welcoming. You can tell a lot of love and attention was put into creating such a warm atmosphere. I would definitely recommend Millie‘s kitchen and look forward to visiting again.“

“Firstly, Ya'll getting 5 stars just for being OPEN AS ADVERTISED! I can eat collard greens everyday and usually I make my own but I was out and at work and decided to try to find some. This was the third establishment I went to based on Google but the first to be open on a Saturday. I am so glad this is where I spent my money because I was far from disappointment. They were the best greens I've had from an restaurant. I'm just mad I didn't get two. I wanted to come back Sunday! I will be back and intend to explore more of the menu.“

“Had an amazing experience at Kitchen & Kocktails! Cindy was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we sat down, she was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Every recommendation she gave us was delicious, and you can tell she genuinely cares about making sure her guests have a great experience.

The food was excellent, the atmosphere was great, and Cindy’s dedication and customer service made the experience even better. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. If you visit, definitely ask for Cindy—you won’t be disappointed!

Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back! ❤️🍽️✨“

“Samaiyah B. Cooking catered the American food for my wedding, and I cannot say enough good things about the experience! The food was absolutely phenomenal, so delicious that all of our guests were raving about it throughout the night.

I had enjoyed Samaiyah’s food before, so when I found out she did catering, I knew I had to have her for my wedding. From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional and efficient. She responded promptly to all my emails, provided clear pricing information, and even offered to arrange a tasting (which I didn’t need since I was already familiar with how amazing her food is!).
On the day of the wedding, Samaiyah and her team were right on time and completely professional. The food display was beautiful, and the quality was outstanding. What really stood out was her attentiveness, she checked in with me during the reception to ask if guests could have seconds and made sure everything was going smoothly.

The setup and breakdown were handled seamlessly and efficiently by her team. Everything was taken care of in a timely manner, which allowed me to actually enjoy my special day without any stress.

If you’re looking for a caterer who delivers both exceptional food quality and outstanding service, I highly recommend Samaiyah B. Cooking. She and her team went above and beyond to make our wedding memorable!“

“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 had the Ribs and chicken….the signature sauce is the way to go. The greens and Mac and cheese were 🔥 My wife got the brisket sliders and loved them and the potato salad. Our server was super friendly and I almost forgot the cornbread lol amazing. I’m not sure how this place slipped under my fat guy radar 😂“

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

“We had an incredible first time experience at Dig Inn, our first time and Tamar who works there was incredibly helpful, kind and friendly. Glad that we came in today and that he was here to assist us. We greatly appreciate! He deserves a raise!! ( :“

“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.“

“As a business man who’s always in the go and needs to eat hearty and healthy, I truly trust “Taste of Knox “ catering. I’ve been enjoying his dishes for over 30 years now and I am super excited about the continued growth in this man’s craft and his passion and dedication to building his business.“

“I have been eating PATTERSONS food since the 80’s where ever they have moved.. I even ate there when they were in northern liberties.. I do not live in PHILLY now otherwise I would still be eating mrs. Patterson’s food.“

“If you want food that’s good for your Soul check this spot out!!!!!!!“

“I really wanted to give 5 starts but when I got there I had to wait over a half our because only 1 person was working by themselves. He was trying his best but don't leave him alone again. Lol, got fish platter and was told the the price on the menu wasn't the same in person, smh. Side of potato salad was undercooked and exchanged for a $5 side of what was left of yams. I really should have gotten a discount or something added because there wasn't enough, smh. But I will definitely try again, maybe next time service will be better and things properly priced. Also when the lady finally got there, she fixed the issues but could have done better. But thank you anyway because the food was worth it!“

“Carolynn’s kitchen has been catering for our events at LIJ Valley Stream hospital for 2 years now and her food service and customer service has been nothing short of extraordinary. I highly recommend this catering business for your events. I know we will continue working with her for many events to come.“

“Came to Philly for visit. A friend served us some food from Crafty Soul food. Damn that stuff was good. The next day I ordered the same meal of fish platter and shrimp platter with greens and Mac/cheese. Also got extra sweet potatoes. The only thing missing was cornbread. This place will be on the top of my list when visit again.“

“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!!!“

“During a recent visit to Philadelphia, I stumbled upon a place that felt like a slice of home — Ol’ Boys Soul Food, tucked away at 5148 Locust Street in West Philly. From the moment I arrived the rich aroma of seasoned goodness and slow-cooked comfort filled the air.

Their Southern fried chicken was golden, crispy, and tender inside — just the way it should be. The fried whiting, tilapia, and shrimp were cooked with a master’s touch, flavorful and satisfying. Every side dish was a hit at my family’s table: baked mac and cheese oozing with cheesy perfection, collard greens and cabbage cooked just right, and potato salad that tasted like it came straight from a family reunion picnic. And that cornbread — moist, sweet, and buttery — tied the whole meal together.

The service was fast, friendly, and genuine, making the experience even better. In a city known for cheesesteaks and pretzels, Ol’ Boys brings something different — a soulful reminder that Southern cooking isn’t about fancy plates, but about heart, heritage, and flavor that lingers long after the last bite.“
