The Soul Food Lounge is an absolute gem! Nestled in the cozy MLK Legacy Apartments, this Black and veteran-owned spot boasts an inviting atmosphere perfect for anyone looking to enjoy comfort food. 🌟

I opted for the grand tasting and savored every bite of the Korean short ribs and fried catfish etouffee. The portions were generous enough to take some home!

The live music added a lovely touch to our evening, while the staff were attentive and friendly. Do try their passion fruit lemonade - it’s refreshing! I can't wait to return for another delightful meal! 🎶🍽️

I had an amazing time at The Soul Food Lounge! 🌟 The cozy atmosphere was perfect for a night out. We opted for the Grand Tasting, and it did not disappoint - especially the Korean BBQ short ribs and the fire maple fried chicken! Each dish was expertly seasoned without being overpowering.

The live saxophone music added a lovely touch, making the evening sing! 🎶 The service was fantastic; our waitress checked in frequently and made us feel at home.

Definitely a place to return to for comfort food and good vibes. Don't miss the passion fruit lemonade! 🍋✨
