Ok an honest food review from my taste of Jess Soul Food. I ordered the 3- piece wing plate with two sides and my wife and son had the burger baskets. All the food was hot upon receiving our order. The wing plate was good, my opinion it could have used a little more seasoning on the chicken but to each its own. The broccoli and cheese rice amazing don't change a thing. The yams to me tasted like they were out of a can and could have been touched up a little more. The burger baskets came with two patties and they were nice sized patties. My son who only wanted one pattie said he like the burger overall and said it was better than a burger joint in Bellmead. My wife said the patties could have been seasoned a little more and the fries were regular cafeteria fries with more seasoning on them than the burger. Not a bad place for my first and last time.

My go to oxtail spot, I’ve tried several different soul food joints in Waco and this one is by far my favorite! On my first order I had oxtail, mash potatoes and rice and gravy. Would have gave it a 5/5 but my rice wasn’t the best. I spoke to the owner and she reassured me that she would get it taken care of! Other than that I’ve been back every Saturday for my usual and each time is absolutely delicious! Service is great! Atmosphere is great, we sat and watched the Baylor basketball game and the vibes were amazingly good! Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a new soul food restaurant! She has a regular in me.
