Soul Good — Restaurant in Tulare

My family and I were thrift shopping when a fantastic scent caught our attention. We literally followed the aroma to Soul Good. We didn't know Alley Dog had closed until we saw the signs for Soul Good. I'm a huge Soul Food fan and instantly wanted to give this place a try.

There are seven of us so we ordered a bunch of food including the fried ribs, BBQ chicken, tri-tip sliders, Buffalo chicken sliders, pulled pork sliders, collard greens, mac and cheese, candied yams, cornbread, sweet potato pie, and fried fish.

Everything was PHENOMENAL. All seven of us loved it. My wife is now obsessed with collard greens. The BBQ chicken dropped off the bone. The sliders almost instantly disappeared. We had no leftovers.

The team was friendly and welcoming. They felt genuine and that they cared about their customers. I enjoyed interacting with them and the whole experience.

We went back again yesterday.

As a fair warning, it is outside dining, so the weather conditions will have a big impact on your sit-down experience. It was raining yesterday and we got our food to go. The first time we visited we ate outside. The weather was beautiful, the smoker smelled amazing, and the whole place had a relaxed vibe.

Solid 5 stars across the board from my family and I. We will be...

Right out of the gate this place is top notch! The staff are so friendly and welcoming! The atmosphere was warm and comfortable. Then you get to the menu and I noticed the prices werent awful like other places. Definitely no price gouging here! Chef Roc absolutely threw down!!! The food was so good!!! There was heat and spice but also bold flavor! We had the Catfish and fried Ribs and both were juicy and delectable! The sides were no slouch either! Mac n Cheese was bomb! Greens were phenominal! Chili beans with ground turkey was bangin' and the Black eyed Peas handled all the business. This meal tasted like tradition and love and good togetherness. It wasnt just a meal it was an absolute experience!!! Tonight was open mic night and that was awesome as well. If youre in the Tulare Area, Definitely need to eat here!!! We will be back! This will be our new regular spot! BBQ every Saturday, open mic night on Fridays and Oxtails on Tuesdays!!! This place is seriously serving the community and enriching the area. So glad we stumbled onto it! To Chef Roc and his family, Thanks for the...

A Hidden Gem on K Street – Soul Good Lives Up to the Name

My wife and I were walking around K Street in Tulare when we stumbled across a little restaurant tucked away in a parking lot. Curiosity got the best of us, so we wandered over and discovered Soul Good, a soul food spot that truly lives up to its name.

We were hungry, so we ordered the fried ribs and potato salad—and let me tell you, this was some of the best soul food we’ve had in years. My wife said the fried ribs were the best she’s had since her grandmother’s cooking from years ago. They were served over smothered rice, perfectly seasoned and incredibly flavorful. The potato salad? Absolutely incredible—fresh, creamy, and brought me back 35 years to when my own grandmother used to make it.

It’s rare to find food that feels like home, but Soul Good hit that mark. We’re already planning our next visit to try the sliders, catfish, mac and cheese, and everything else on the menu. If you’re anywhere near Tulare, do yourself a favor and find this place. It’s tucked away, but totally...
