“I love to support Black-owned businesses especially when they support me back. The Soul food Lounge 2 got the memo. ☺️ Great Service ✅ Great Atmosphere ✅ Great Food✅ Will be back 💯 We had Addie Mae's Smothered Chicken 🤌🏾 I would eat this here, there and anywhere! We did the taster menu which is 3 entreés, a glass of champagne, choice of flavored lemonade. I think I will do that again next time because it allows you to see what you prefer to order in a larger size next time. I ordered Caribbean BBQ catfish. This one I am glad it came out last because it would have ruined everything that was going so well. Catfish should be fried, instead everything was soggy and all the seasoning was on every aspect of the dish. No differentiation from the fish, peppers nor rice. Won't make that mistake again. 1st entreé was the Hong Kong Honey Shrimp - yes please, would order again! Delicious! Not sure I would want it all alone but may order a backup just in case. 2nd entreé was the Tuscany Mac&Cheese🤌🏾. Now the waiter said they were out initially, but the owner said we're never out it just may take a while to prepare. So glad that was the case because this was a dish not to be missed. Delicious all around! It was served at the perfect time. I wanted more of this and thought would pair very well with the Smothered Chicken for a take out order. I'd enjoy it anywhere also. These two dishes are why I will definitely be back and recommend to others. The atmosphere was so classy and smart. Right music at the right volume. The prices reflect that of a Beverly location. I will pay well for all the things we experienced here, so it was worth the money. It was a date night for many of us in the attendance, but there were families with small children and seniors also and they were all comfortable as well. I love a place like that. Thank you to the owner/host for creating this for our community!”

“You smell the food as you are walking in! Startednoff with a cucumber mint infused water that was really refreshing. Ordered the mafia and cheese for my girl and I got the surf and turf. For my surf and turf both the lobster and steak was top notch but believe it or not it was the dressing that stole the show lmao my girl couldn't believe how good it was. Literally life changing was the only way I can put it. We gonna try come for father day so we can do a tasting. we enjoyed ourselves. And the owner im assuming came out and blessed us with her presence making sure we were ok and taken care of thank you so much for the hospitality”

The decor is beautiful and our server Kendall was beyond great! The owner Tiffany was so sweet and greeted each table personally, even stayed to chat. I'm so glad my daughter selected this place to dine. We will be back!”
“This is my first time here and the food and this place is awesome! Our waitress was Yvette she was very nice and knowledgeable about the food we came around midday/lunch. I received the shrimp a la Florentine which was amazing and we had the turkey leg with jerk shrimp and Mac and cheese! When I tell you the turkey leg is off the bone and delicious omg!!!”
