Soul Food Restaurants near Hempstead, NY

“I stopped looking for soup, because I wasn't feeling well. They did not have any, but they were kind enough to point me to another deli that had some (not that great), and I was thankful. I have to return here to support their business.“

“If this establishment was closer to my work or my home I would probably eat here every other day! I do have to travel about 20 mins to get here but its worth the trip! I never have a bad meal when im here the girls behind the counter are soo sweet and always have a smile! Definitely recommend pick up fast and easy never a long wait! Always hot and fresh!“

“I experienced Nettie’s for the first time last evening. My dining experience was excellent from arrival to departure. The food was “DELISH!” The owner was welcoming & hospitable, the service was good, and the music and atmosphere wea awesome! I am so pleased and proud to have a “Black” owned establishment where you can dine in Queens in a tasteful environment, supporting our entrepreneurs and our community. I, along with others will be back!!!“

“This was my first soul food experience, and I wouldn’t want it ANY other way! Crystal and her sons were lovely!! Spoke to us a while as we waited for our meal. Packed our dishes up high! Fish and meat were extremely tender and well seasoned, sides were all excellent (we got to try a little bit of everything) and the banana pudding had me looking at apartments in their area. Literally plotting for the next time we can get out to Westbury to have this food.“

“I was craving collard greens - and looking for a new place to try. I found Village BBQ on line and was impressed with the reviews so off I went. Randy the owner is not only the nicest guy but a fantastic chef! He and his wife run the business. I had his brisket (at his insistence!) Delicious! Sweet potatoes and collard greens. Customer next to me raved about the banana pudfing so I added that too. All 5 star!!! Very happy I took the chance on a place in a gas station!!“

“Not bad at all.. fish was a little small but it wasn’t bad“

“Taste Of Seafood may be a small restaurant, but the flavor and service are top tier. The seafood was fresh, seasoned perfectly, and cooked just right. The atmosphere was welcoming and felt like a hidden gem in the community.

Sanaa, the hostess, made the experience even better with her great attitude, professionalism, and warm hospitality from the moment we walked in. She made sure everything was smooth and made us feel right at home.

If you’re looking for delicious seafood and excellent customer service, I highly recommend Taste Of Seafood. Make sure to ask for Sanaa and leave her a review too — she definitely deserves the recognition!“

“I have been going to this spot for over 25 years and until tonight n once before have not had a rude server. The young man working the window tonight 5/04/26 needs to be put in the back. He wanted to take my card as I placed my order n when I said how much is it he started adding in his head n when I said go pack n ring the order first he slammed the window. Then instead of telling me they had no wings or verifying my order he just packed it n showed me what he was gonna give me. Never spoke to me to say what he was doing. When he came for the card he still never said how much it was he just slammed the window again. When he was handing me everything I started to tell him look im a long time customer he never let me finish my sentence he just slammed the window again. Still the best chicken in queens... but this guy made me feel like if I come to the window n he is the server then I will just drive off n come back when hes not there. Im complaining becz this is not the first time he served me n it was the same the other time too.“

“Place is very clean, the food does taste good, you only have to watch out for the amount you take it goes by weight. Overall, I like the food here, its buffet style most things are weighted by the pound.“

“Food was great we ordered the fry chicken with rice and peas and salad. We originally wanted B-B fry but there was none . We got mild beef , ackee , vegetable and chicken patties as well. They were a little small and needed some more filling but they were tasty.“

“Hi, this was my first time here and the experience was cool. The food was good the worker were nice and the music and the atmosphere was chill. I would definitely come back.“
