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.

Let me tell you something the turkey wing dinner was great tender falling off the bone good. My husband loved the pork chop dinner and my daughters loved the Loaded bake potato and the Mac and cheese and greens.

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 has brought back good old school cooking that we have been missing for years. Keep doing what you're doing 👌🏽

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!
