Sister Soul Food — Restaurant in Orlando

My husband and I aren't usually on this side of town. It was 3 o'clock we hadn't eaten anything as of yet and couldn't decide. While waiting on my husband to come out of Palmers Feed the street over I googled good food near me. I was starving. Sister Soul food came up with excellent reviews. I told my husband I don't know where you plan to eat but I am eating at this spot with great reviews. First I am so proud of the great customer service. The cashier was so friendly and informative! The black guy with the perfectly groomed beard and mustache was just so hospitable. I was hungry so I ordered a lot. I have never been sooooooooo disappointed and hurt. My husband fried fish and shrimp were so overcooked we couldn't even chew it. It seemed overcooked and old as if it had been sitting. I thought I ordered the pork chop dinner but I got this 1 pitiful pork chop the size of a chicken wing. Mac n cheese was so dry no salt and no real mac n cheese flavor. I ordered the bowl with string beans rice and cabbage too. All stalks no flavor and the rice was sooooo puffy it was as if my oldest granddaughter had cooked it. I love cabbage and couldn't even finish it. I had a bill that was almost 50 bucks. My feelings are soo hurt because we couldn't get home fast enough to dig in. When I opened that mini bowl with my one small pork chop in it I just couldn't believe it. How can they feel okay serving this. I wanted to love them. I wanted to come on here and brag about this spot we had found accidentally. I wish them all the success. Maybe it was just a bad day. I will admit that it was busy and a long line and the place was like a hot sauna no A/C. My menopause was on full blast but I stuck it out because of the long lines, the hospitality and the great reviews. I have...

Our first initial visit was amazing, I guess a ploy to sucker you in. But we revisited on 5/21 and it was like the SOUL left the SISTER.😔The up charged baked beans lacked the hamburger meat and flavor. The potato salad was from Walmart ( I know the WM potato salad flavor, because it's a disgusting taste that I despise and the potatoes are always partially done). My shrimp were overcooked and hard. They failed to give me all of my purchased items the first time, almost half of my order was missing. I had to go back in to get my items. My husband's pork chops lacked flavor as well. There were many menu options NOT available that day. The $1 small cup drinks mysteriously became $2 in 1 week. Don't advertise what you don't have. The young guy that didn't want to move from his seat while taking orders lacked decent cheerful greeting abilities. He should not be in the front. I tried for 4 days to call the number listed with the business, but no one ever answered- even at different times of the day. I physically went to try to get my order rectified and they were opening late as per the Barber next door. I asked him if he was the boss of both places and after he affirmed that he was, I told him about my woes with the food, he declined to even care. I spent $75 to support and this was the response that I got. Needless to say that will be my last $75 spent there. The inconsistency of food and service was too excessive. When the sweet older Queen was there, everything ran smoothly. My second experience was too far left for even a 3rd try over. Shameful, because I really...

I promise I hate to be this person because I am all for black owned establishments.

When I walked in. I was quickly serviced by the young man sitting in a seat. He was nice and had good customer service.

That’s the good. I got home and was excited to dig in. I ordered grilled chicken, macaroni, yams, cabbage and cornbread.

Let’s start with the chicken. I was honestly expecting grilled chicken. I was given some bland shredded chicken that was seasoned with teriyaki. So that was definitely a no for me.

The yams? Well where I’m from we eat sweet potatoes. But ok. Yams out the can? Definitely a no no.

The macaroni had the proper cheeses in it but where is the seasoning?

The cabbage? As you can see in the 3rd picture that was the meat in the cabbage. Looks to be a small piece of ham. Absolutely no seasoning.

Cornbread? Even a no.

I came here because of all of the hype that I kept hearing about. I’m sorry but nothing on my plate was good. Though I really enjoyed seeing all the beautiful black faces in there supporting a...
