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.“

“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.“

“When I first came up to Cleveland this one of the first restaurants I ate at and im still in love with that memory a lot of people or Clevelandnaires dont care for it but I love there food as a bachelor this is the closest I can come to a home cooked meal I remember when they only had one restaurant and I finally got to meet Angie she is so sweet gave me a peach cobbler on her that was the sweetest thing anyone could of did for me today as I didn't have the money to get it god bless them“

“I went here to enjoy a night out with staff and it was the perfect little bar that we needed. The staff was so friendly and great listeners. I ordered a tequila sunrise and a prime rib philly steak sub with fries and mozzarella sticks. I absolutely loved both! The mozzarella sticks are topped with parmesan cheese and were cooked just right. This is a great place for a quick bite to eat and drink. The Dj was also full of life and was very entertaining ? Thank you! ?“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

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