Soul Food Restaurants in Virginia Beach, VA

“If you're looking for authentic, good Southern comfort food, look no further than The Original Soul Food Cafe. This place truly lives up to its name, serving up a menu of classic dishes that taste like they came straight from your mommas family kitchen.
The mac and cheese is a definite standout—it’s the real deal, creamy and flavorful, and a perfect side for any meal. I also highly recommend the smothered pork dinner and the catfish; both were cooked to perfection and had that deep, rich flavor you only get from true soul food. The portions are generous, so you definitely get your money's worth.
While there can be a wait at peak times, it's a testament to how good the food is. The quality and taste are absolutely worth it. If you're in the Virginia Beach area and craving a truly satisfying and delicious meal, this is the spot.“

“Its a VIBE, I booked my party threw Webbie & she made sure I was straight the entire night. I loved how security was respectful & alert , they meant business at the door, I most DEFINITELY APPRECIATED how the smoking stayed OUTSIDE. Only hookah & vapes inside my lungs was burning of second hand smoke or nun of that it was hot aab but the DJ kept me rocking & rolling. So 10 out 10 be back again 🤟🏾🤟🏾✊🏾✊🏾🤞🏽“
