Soul Food Restaurants in Cleveland, OH

“Having a tip automatically added to the bill of two people is off-putting. For the record, I'm a good Tipper. I did actually add to the 15% automatically added because our server was awesome. But tipping is an addition, not part of the bill. Heck, add it to the cost of the food and I'll pay it. but not in tipping. that's my choice.“

“Shaker- Miss Tanisha! She was awesome , she was so friendly and welcoming! She mad me and my sister feel at home and like we’ve known her forever!

Collards and artichoke dip 10/10 Fried pork chops 10/10 Honey chicken 10/10“

“Food was outstanding. Beef ribs literally fell off the bone flavorful, and juicy. Greens were absolutely great, mac nd cheese and candied yams were just how they are expected to be, delicious. As a truck driver when I run across great food it's appreciated. After a great meal their house Kool aid was like childhood. I loved it. Thanks for the great eats and service.“

“This place was really good! Definitely recommend the banana pudding, Mac n cheese, and the fries! I also enjoyed the coleslaw, it is made with a mustard base. It was my first time having coleslaw that wasn't mayo or vinegar based, and now I don't want coleslaw without mustard! Not gonna lie... dipping the fries into the coleslaw or their wing sauce... makes the fries even better (and they are already great!)“

“My son and I went there for dinner he had lamb chops that he said was fire and my Mississippi catfish was amazing. We both had Mac and yams. I definitely will come back . Downtown location. Margaritas were good“

“Great Restaurant, very nice food and excellent customer service. God bless you guys.“

“Visiting Key To The Soul was a real revelation for me. The atmosphere of calm and acceptance is felt from the very first minutes. The specialists here are very sensitive and professional, they helped me find answers to questions that had been tormenting me for years. This is really the key to understanding yourself.“

“Hot and fresh with great customer service! food was great. I like the Perch and mac and cheese the best.“

“Food amazing, customers service great…“

“That come see for yourself and enjoy the atmosphere 😉“

“All of my food was fresh and seasoned to perfection the only critique I have were my fries were really soggy and our cornbread was super dry but my catfish was sooooo good and my Mac and cheese was everything I wanted and more my husband loved his porkchop meal I tried his collard greens and they were perfect as well this was our first time trying and you are now my go to spot for some soul food thank you guys so much!!!“

“I called ahead thinking I could grab my lunch quickly, but it ended up taking about 40 minutes from start to finish. I had to pull up, pay, and then wait for my food instead of just picking it up, which was a little inconvenient for a lunch break—but manageable. Lately, it seems like a lot of business have been having issues with people ordering and not actually coming to pay and get their food. Making it harder on everyone else. They don’t do DoorDash, which is a sucks when it’s a busy day.

That said, the food is absolutely worth it. The pork chop dinner is hands down the best in Cleveland, and the pork chop sandwich I grabbed for a coworker surprised her too. I’ve been coming here for years, even after moving away, and it’s still the same top-tier pork chops. Worth the wait, even if the pickup process could be a bit smoother.“

“We thought we would give it a try and it was a great choice If you want a clean fresh experience I recommend yo go The food was great I will be going back soon“

“I just tried Mattie Ruth's for the first time and I got the smothered pork chops with tomatoes with okra, mac and cheese. It was the best tasting food. The porkchops were so good that the made me cry. I will eat here again, just might be lunch today.“

“Food is excellent love it thumbs up service is awesome!!!!!! Go check them out you will be in love too“
