GrateFull Soul — Restaurant in Hattiesburg

First, I literally laughed out loud at the review here that said GrateFull Soul is "for yuppies". Haven't heard that phrase since the Reagan administration and the restaurant was all blue collar when I went for lunch. Anyway, great comment and while I don't agree, I totally appreciate the laugh.

GrateFull Soul was good, but not necessarily great. The Herb Roasted Chicken (which they serve everyday according to FB) was the star of the show for sure. I also had corn and black eyed peas which were both a little bland. The broccoli salad was fair. I'll get the pear salad next visit.

Ambience is good and the wait staff was very courteous and attentive. Worth a visit for sure. Parking...

This soul food restaurant is my favorite place to eat in Hattiesburg! I go once a week when I can. You won't find more consistent quality anywhere.

The atmosphere is adorable and comfortable. Last time I ate there, I told my partner it felt like eating at my...
