This is THE restaurant you are looking for…BBQ chicken leg, mac salad, potato salad and seasoned rice-THE BEST! BBQ sauce flavor, rice with seasonings that I have not had before and enjoyed every bite, mac and potato salads as good or dare I say better than your Grandmother’s!!

Price below for full entree with cornbread and 2 sides

My husband took me their for my birthday. The owner Mr.Marice ( I think I got his name wrong) but he was phenomenal. We went at closing and he still took care of us. The food was phenomenal..ohhhh we'll definitely be back again.

I wish i could attach a photo to this review because OMG. The food tasted and looked great. The rasta pasta was super good - very flavorful and colorful. But the chicken wings were AMAZING. crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Best i have had in awhile. We talked about our meal the whole ride home. We even called hubbys parents who live a few hours away to brag about our dinner! update: I was able to add pictures!

Absolutely incredible

Always an experience ordering from the weekly menu. It changes as to the chef's needs. Always in a good way if you have the needs!!!

My wife and I moved to the area in mid-2022. Prior to this, we lived in NYC (specifically in Harlem) for 14 years. The biggest thing we miss about our last home is the food - there's just not a lot of good restaurants around here (I don't necessarily even mean fancy - just good). We have a short list of a few spots we frequent that are decent enough - we rarely deviate from these because, often enough, when we do, we're disappointed by whatever new place we try. Last night we wanted to go out to eat, but thought we would try somewhere new. We found MarShell's on Google Maps and it looked great so we decided to roll the dice. Boy, are we glad we did. Firstly, the restaurant itself is a lovely space. It's relatively modern, well-kept and well-designed, but still comfortable and casual. Tashell was great - we had a wonderful time speaking with her and she took great care of us. She said that the restaurant opened 2.5 years ago, right around the time we moved to the area - we only wish we came sooner. The food is spectacular. Soul food is a "humble" style of cuisine, but their take on it is just the right degree of refined. I don't mean it's fussy in any way - I mean they really know how to cook and this shows in every dish through flavor and texture. Things like collard greens or sweet potatoes, which are often overcooked to oblivion, are just the right consistency, and exploding with flavor. Sauces are rich and velvety, not overly thick or gloppy. Even seemingly simple things like chicken wings or fried green tomatoes are perfectly fried so the inside is moist and juicy, with a light, shatteringly crisp exterior - something many other restaurants don't care to pay attention to. TLDR - this is a great restaurant serving uniquely delicious, rock-solid soul food in a well-kept space that stands out like a diamond in the rough.

First time dining last night and I can promise we will be back. Dining area was set up nice, staff was great, food was spectacular. Pricing is fair and portions are appropriate.

Everything was excellent. I got the fried chicken dinner and my girlfriend got the smothered chicken dinner. We thought that the mac and cheese was the best we’ve ever had. We’ll be back.

First time ordering from here tonight. Got Nashville Hot wings, Curry Chicken, and Pepper Steak. I can’t pick a favorite. They were all excellent! Cant wait to try more of the menu! Some of the best food in town.
