3.9227 reviews ·Opens at 8AM

King Soul Food Gallery draws regulars for generous, reasonably priced plates of made-from-scratch comfort food, especially the standout baked macaroni and cheese, peach cobbler, fried chicken, oxtails, pork chops with gravy, and corn muffins. Warm hospitality and welcoming service make it a neighborhood favorite, though reviews are mixed on seasoning and sides, with some delivery diners reporting bland food and occasional cleanliness concerns.

I love supporting my ppl which is why I wanted to try this spot. My ppl love playing in my face though. Don’t get me wrong the customer service was good and the place of business itself was clean/tidy. The food though, not it I’m sorry. Everything was bland and it seems like they cater to the older ppl in a way. Yams had pinnacles in them (never seen that before). It’s more but I’m not gone get into all that. Just a overall bad experience 3/10
