New Soul Cafe — Restaurant in New York

I arrived at this place and it was a dump, which is fine cause some of the best places to eat are dives just like this. I ordered about 7 different things only to be told they're out of about 70% of their menu. Got Fried Chicken, with Mac and Cheese, candied yams and and a small side of corn. I asked the attendant specifically how many pieces of chicken are in the small, medium and large she says 2, 3 and 4 respectively. Since I was ordering for me and my family, I asked for a large order and aa medium order to make seven pieces of chicken. Got it home and was ready to dive into some soul food. Well, that was disappointing to say the least. I get home and got only 4 pieces of chicken. 2 in each order. So basically the larger size was just a bigger helping of the sides. Which pretty much shorts the family meal a few pieces of chicken. Moving on. I figured the Mac and Cheese would make up for the lack of chicken, I was wrong. Apparently the cook or the staff or both are heavy smokers, and the Mac and Cheese tray is where they ash. It sure tasted like that and I saw absolutely no burn marks on it so it leaves little room for any other excuse. The candied yams also had a tinge of smoke, but not as pronounced. Probably due to the spices in it. They both looked delicious though, very deceptive. That leaves the corn. That was good also, but it was pretty much loose corn either frozen or canned, and warmed up, no big deal their either. So in short, staff is either deceitful or unknowledgeable. Food is probably great if you're a 2 pack a day smoker. Call ahead and ask what's on the menu cause there's a better than great chance they won't have it. Meal cost me $22 dollars. Consider that money well spent to know where not to go. Had to throw out most of the food and order up something different. Too bad, I was hoping this would be the place to...

This has GOT to be the worst food I've ever tried to eat. Along with It taking over an 1 1/2 for delivery, when it came my food (fried fish, yams and collard greens), was all smashed together. Even though I'd requested fish fried crispy it was, upside down in a pool of grease and liquid which made it wet & soggy. We ordered to eat with my aunt who had been eating hospital/nursing home food for 2 months, but nothing had any flavor and was so bad, even she couldn't eat it and her ribs were big hunks of fat. We threw it all in the garbage. I ordered half iced tea and half lemonade, which the lady that took the order, assured me they make the tea & lemonade. She lied, it was Snapple poured into a plastic container. I HATE Snapple.The delivery man said that if we ever come to the restaurant, they could make up for the long delivery by "giving you a piece of cornbread, that's all they can do". That's not all they can do, they can stop with the phoney reviews, learn to cook and wrap food properly for delivery or go out...

I was so excited to try this soul food restaurant but omg was I disappointed. I got baked steak with onions and peppers 2 sides of collard greens and yellow rice with a small side of baked Mac and cheese. Smfh the steak was hard burnt and was more of pepper steak style it had 2 onions no peppers and taste like it was in browning sauce way far to long. The yellow rice was hard and less then a spoonful and bland, the collard greens was so vinegary and huge pieces a bit to crunchy. The msc and cheese taste old and have a weird burnt taste it’s really dark in color. The portion itself was like a small put into a medium container. I paid 30 dollars and it was so not worth it it was the worst everything had a burnt heavy after taste. I thought it would be way better sorry I was so disappointed. I guess the good reviews are fake because ain’t no damn way!! I recommend not spending your money here to expensive my Mac and cheese was in pieces not even a full serving. You have to be kidding me...
