Soul Food Restaurants near Hollis, NY

“My good friend and former co-worker and his wife recently opened this amazing Caribbean restaurant in Queens. Amazing food and wonderful service. His wife is burning up those pots and pans!���� Let's support and patronize his new endeavor and eat some good home cooking food!“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Vera's, and it truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the warm, inviting atmosphere made me feel right at home. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring every detail of our experience was perfect. The highlight was the food. The barbecue chicken and sweet ribs were savory on the outside and juicy on the inside—mouthwatering. The collard greens and cabbage were seasoned to perfection. What I appreciated most was the authentic soul food flavor that reminded me of home. Great care and tradition are poured into every dish. Whether you're a longtime fan of soul food or trying it for the first time, Vera's is a must-visit. I’ll be returning soon! I highly recommend it for anyone craving hearty, flavorful soul food in a cozy setting.“

“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!!!“

“Bbq fell off the bone. Delicious.“

“I ordered my food from Uber Eats. It came quickly, hot, fresh, and seasoned beyond my expectations! I was pleasantly surprised with how everything came because I’m usually underwhelmed with food deliveries, this restaurant, however, was on point. I will be ordering again. I got the 4 pc fish, 6 shrimp, mac and cheese, and collards.“

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

“My sister orders food from here on Sundays for my father, herself, and I. The food has always been good. Yesterday, I went into the shoppe myself and ordered. I was very impressed with the layout. There were items on the menu I didn't even know about prior 👍🏾. I am really impressed by the fact this is a Black owned establishment. I'm even more impressed by the fact the spot is owned and operated by some members of the Diasporic family. I say this because they know their clientale well and cater to them without flaw. I will continue to nyam (eat) from this establishment for as long as we are both in existence. ✊🏾“

“Member of my lodge has been bringing the fried Whiting for quite a while. We have other food but everyone eats the Whiting. Tastes fantastic. We are now going to expand by ordering other dishes on the menu.
I'm one Italian who loves this food.“

“The beans and rice with the jerk chicken is phenomenal. My husband and I drive all the way down from Long island just for this delicious meal. The owner is a kind and great person. Definitely going back when I am feeling for amazing soul food“

“This spot is new to the block according to the owner which was very nice. For a spot that just came in, the food was delicious I must admit, there wasn’t much we could pick from the menu because they were still getting things together but I got chicken, macaroni and cheese inside a craved out pineapple. Yummy… the service was laggy however it’s clear they were trying which made the process feel promising. I believe within a year or 2 this spot is going to be poppin off something nice. Drinks were ok!“

“When we lived in the Bronx, we ran an ad on our Cablevision TV show! We love the food so much wanted to take it with us to Washington State. Channel 11 rated them the best in NYS. Its true, they are the very best!“

“Purp offers top tier service when my food order wasn’t correct. I showed the pics and immediately rectified the matter. I also will say she’s a multitasker. She was mopping answering calls and catering to us walk-ins. I appreciate the attention she gave to all things customers.“
