“This is the place to get the best tasting fried catfish!!! O goodness, I got home and took a small piece for taste, I wanted to eat right away, but bought it for dinner. I promise you it took everything within me not to eat for lunch. Soo delicious. Also, I bout the last strawberry banana pudding knowing I have to share with my adult daughter😇. She and I loved it the last time I bought it. Anyway, the food is worth every dollar.”

“Nice place. The food is good. I eat from here like twice a week. Everyone in there is friendly. The guy at the register is always smiling I think its the owners son. The honey bbq wings and greens is to die for 10 out of 10. Im glad I stumbed up on this place.”

“Sunshine and Soul is definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to! The food was absolutely amazing and full of flavor. The catfish was cooked perfectly — crispy on the outside, tender and seasoned just right on the inside. You can tell it’s made fresh and with care. And the mac and cheese? That was a highlight for me! Super cheesy, creamy, and full of flavor. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the whole experience just felt good from start to finish. If you’re looking for some real soul food that hits the spot, Sunshine and Soul is the place to go!”
“Everything of the menu was so tasty, yes I tried everything 😋 it was fresh, very tasty, I ordered 2 or 3 times weekly always with an extra side my daughter love the macaroni, she be so upset when we ride pass & they're close, I have to reroute when open... I even ask the owner what she put in the mac, its only Sunshine flavor😍”
