Tru Soul Food Kitchen — Restaurant in Butner

First and foremost, this is a very beautiful place. It felt good seeing my people (POC) walking through the restaurant, serving and being excellent. The decor was beautiful. Looks like a great place to have parties and family gatherings. The food was very good, as well. Nicely seasoned. If you have dietary restrictions, I would advise asking for lightly salted food because the food is seasoned very well. I highly recommend getting the ice tea or lemonade as your drink. The only things I believe needs to improve are the customer service, the size of the drinking products, and pricing of some of the items. Being from out of town, my family and I did not know the ins and outs of the restaurant. Once we were seated, we figured the person who brought our food out would be our waitress. My godmother was in the process of asking our supposed waitress for an item and in mid-sentence she walked away. She may not have realized she did it but I thought it was odd. She would slam items on the table. I didn't want to think she had an attitude but she was a little passive as if she didn't want to serve us. Then, when we were looking for her to ask for a to-go box, we looked up and she was eating at the bar. That is cool and all but we had to go searching for someone and eventually had to holler across the room to a young lady who worked in the back to help us. The young lady was very nice and helped us with what we needed. Drinks are like $3, which is high in any restaurant, so i wasnt disappointed with that pricing. However, if Im ordering a $3 drink, I would like something more than a can or small cup. Thankfully i got tea which is a decent size, but my godmother and godsister got sodas, which were canned. As far as pricing, I was very disappointed at how small the fountain drinks were. They were little kids 8 oz sizes. No lids or straws (visible). My sister ordered a lemonade and a cup of ice to go. She said that both of those items were a little over $5 together. Based on the pricing of the lemonade on the ordering screen, that meant the ice was about $2 and it came in a small 8 oz cup. There is no reason for a cup of frozen water to be $2. Overall, the experience was good, but it could have been better. I would rate my...

If you are the adventurous type and you don't have a habit of judging a place by its... surroundings, then this is your spot!

While you don't really have to, I suggest you and your Special "Special" put on your dress up (church cloths for the more mature crowd) attire and come enjoy some fine dinning. The outside of this eatery whispers "Nothing To See Here". However, the moment you step across the threshold you will be instantly transported into elegance. The bright white furnishings accented with a black foundation will have you thinking you're at the 1%er's Ball.

Atmosphere- You are greeted NY the lounge hostess who will help you navigate your way through your new social or culinary experience. You could lounge with your favorite "Special" and get filled with the spirit of your choice.

The Food - I usually don't give out more thsn one warning but, 1st Warning!!!!! Don't get food if you are not hungry!! Even Fat Albert has been seen with a take out bag because there was so much on the plate. 2nd Warning!!! Until now, there has never been an eatery that was able to get EVERYTHING on the menu right. UNTIL NOW!!! If you are not known for telling the untruth, don't start here. It doesn't matter what you order it is going to be the best you've had. Naw, don't lie and say you had better or can make better UNLESS, you are one of the cooks here. 3rd Warning!!! Right now the owners don't know this but DEY IS GIVIN AWAY DA STO UP IN HERE!!! The cost of all this deliciousness is real close to free with their prices. A fat plate of hot goodness served in an elegant surrounding!?! WHO DOES THAT?!?

Staff - Come be a part of the family and enjoy being treated like a King, Queen, Prince, Princess or even like a President (if you dare). The staff here see you as an honored guest.

Place - Brace yourself got this one!! THE BATHROOMS WHERE CLEAN AS H%$^$!! BOTH OF THEM!! I was waiting for this dude to jump out and hand me a towel. The decor screamed Special Occasion! The place is setup with areas for private parties when you need one.

Summary - Deliciousness has a new address and it is in Creedmoore, NC under the name of TruSoul...

We ate in and took trays home the food was so DELICIOUS. It's so good, you want to smack the oerson sitting beside you. Lol I had the opportunity to eat here on Sunday evening invited by my niece Georgiana Williams with her cousin Cindy and Brittany. The environment was very friendly and welcoming. The presentation of the carry out tray was perfect. The food was not running together with the juices of the sides, everything was separated perfect. The flavors of each dish was unique and not over seasoned with salt or spices. I chose the Curry Chicken, rice, collars, yams, corn bread then for my son Larry. He wanted Shrimps, fries, mac and cheese, corn bread. This is a place to have a great family gathering, wedding, party, etc., also because the prices are very reasonable starting at $12.50 for a delicious home cooked, best flavor meal. When I started tasting each item from both trays, I wanted to keep on eating. The amounts of food was more than enough. You have enough to eat a second time later or the next day. I do have plans to take my cousins here when they come down from Maryland and Virgina. I'm bragging on this truly SOUL FOOD with a twist of Jamaica background flavors on the Curry and Jerk Chicken. Then they let you sample the dish before deciding to order your meal. I had a taste of the oxtails and rice also. Oh my God, them oxtails melt in your mouth with that rice and gravy. I want to go back until I eat everything on the menu or take enough family or friends to choose everything on the menu for me to get a spoonful taste of their food. This is a MUST EAT AT RESTAURANT in Creedmoor, NC. It's not that far off the...
