I gave this place a chance because it's supposed to be soul food. The service was great other than the owner commenting on the team sweater I was wearing, like he had some prejudice against the team, I said it just something from the second-hand store. It's just a sweater, like it fuk'n matters what I'm wearing. So I got "Old fashioned meatloaf with red beans and rice with mac'n cheese for my lunch. It was all so gross I saved it for my dog. I won't be wasting my money or time with this place. I paid $12 for complete crap.

Everything was really good but the catfish was oh so yummy.Salt sensitive? Ask to reduce the amount. Food on the saltier side.Greens - not from a can! I asked. They were offended. Good sign.

Sad to say we didn’t get to try this spot. We showed up at 6:10, and the open signs were all off. My partner went inside to see, since their door and website said they were open until seven. My partner was informed that they stop taking orders one hour before they close. We then watched the owner close the main gate to the building and lock up 45 minutes before their listed closing. We have tried to go to this place - few times before but they always seem to be closed, I guess now we know why.

First time at Uncle Thurms today and LET????ME??TELL??YOU the food is AMAZING !! My first thought walking in the door is that it smelled just like my great aunts house on Sunday and I knew the food was going to be on point ?? .. Now not only is the food amazing but the hospitality is wonderful too I felt like I went to my uncle's house !! My husband is from the Georgia and swears everyone cooking is from the south ? and I even got my 5 year old to eat fish today because of the Bomb catfish that was made .. Thank you Uncle Thurm we will be back for more of the the good food huge portions !!!!

Delicious food well worth mentioning and referring to anyone......just finished eating their meatloaf with southern greens and candied yams. I'll definitely be back for more good eats!!!

I got the everything plate, which was really good. I loved the wings and catfish. I would probably order more of that on the side next time. The housemade hot sauce is bomb. I need to get a jar for home or learn to make my own but I loved the hot sauce.

Okay let me say this;I just left Georgia from seeing my daughter and drove down to Macon to get some catfish and collard greens and macaroni. One of the reasons why I did that is because I can never find a good soulful restaurant in Washington State "real soul food"I think I may have found it now I've only had the fish so far,let me just say this. I mite be good with with having a southern spot in Washington state now. ?????????

The greens are the best I've ever had and the Mac n cheese was perfect. Ribs were great. I only wish they served beef.

The soul food medley is everything you could ever ask for. So many wonderful flavors. This will be my new spot

Found this amazing restaurant by chance after a navigation error. Only knew of one other Tacoma soul food restaurant, decided to try it.Take out only. We were delighted at the Cajun & Creole dishes, ordered and sat down to wait. Uncle Thurm's obviously has live music when possible. The decor has a sweet vintage feel, with photos of performers, some on the same small stage we were looking at.Glad to see how busy they were. Worth the wait for delicious, authentic food and knowing they're here to stay.I'm from down south and I have to say that my review is inspired and informed by the emotional experience it was to spend 20 minutes there, plus the half hour we spent savoring chitlins, ribs, chicken and catfish, made like it was back home. In particular, the greens are exactly like I remember and they don't skimp on the pot liquor.
