Soul Food Restaurants near Lawnside, NJ

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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!!!!!!!!“

“Friendly staff and tasty food.“

“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.“

“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!!!“
