Literally the best biscuits ever created. We stopped by for breakfast and had delicious coffees, frittatas, and heavenly biscuits. I literally wanted to ask for a biscuit making lesson.
You need to eat here! Best fried chicken I've had in years, perfectly crispy and seasoned. The cornbread was just the right amount of sweet and moist. The potato salad was creamy with a delightful hit of dill. I also had candied yums...I mean yams and macaroni. Everything was perfect!
The collard greens are absolutely delicious! I was in the hospital and really wanted some. They delivered throughout DoorDash and they were were really very good. Their macaroni and cheese was also tasty. The BBQ chicken sandwich was good, but a little messy and the fried chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside, even after being transported. All, in all, very good food. I'll definitely order from them again.
I read the reviews and laughed. I am a repeat customer, I am African American, I know the food and preparation of what Whites refer to as soul food. And that is alright. It is the best food in of any kind in Seattle. And yes, you have to wait a very long time. Why, because in the culture of African Americans, patience is a virtue and at the end you are rewarded Thus Simply Soul. Take a book, go before you are so hungry you can eat a bear. As to portions and price rent in Seattle is about the highest in the country cost of chicken wings quadrupled in three years cost of all food is up as is gas at $5. Across the country. Most who can still afford to eat out or order in make the kind of money that can afford a $20 meal that will send you to heaven.I know good cooking and Seattle is pretty much lacking in taste buds, most restaurant food is very bad. I always have to take a diuretic after earring at a restaurant. Not so Simply Soul because they know salt is not a seasoning Black folk and salt do not go well together and this is food is what Black folk cook when you come over on a Sunday. ,Her chicken is fried perfectly, not like the fried chicken others stolen recipes. Black eye peas, perfect, collards, yes, candied yams you can still taste the yams beyond the perfect sweetness and Mac and cheese- !!!!!!!! So begin two hours ahead, call in your order. Go sit and play on your phone and wait. This is what you will know as adventure, I have done it many times. Black folk do not take there out of town guest from back east and south to any restaurant that claims soul food except to Simply Soul, my Memphis guest gave it a thumbs up and I am taking my St. Louis 220 lb guy there next week. With small servings this is going to cost to buy double order, but worth it. Unlike some reviewers, I am used to Seattle prices. the plane fare here doubled also. Also having lived here when a house cost $90,000 I am rolling in assets the house is now worth $900,000. So top all of the goodness off with one of the baked goods. So wonderful; Simply Soul. I do not know the name of the owner, keep forgetting so this review is not an inside job.
Excellent soul food spot with friendly staff. Gumbo on Fridays!
We waited over a hour for our food. I thought the portion was a little small for the amount that was paid but aleast the food was good. So despite the long wait if I'm in that area again I would most definitely return.
Simply best soul food in town! We had the waffle & fried chicken (wings) and shrimp and grits. Sooo good!!
Incredibly disappointing experience, and I regret the almost 90 minutes I wasted here. The only good thing I can say about this place is that the food smelled good, though unfortunately I can't say if it tastes any good. Waited almost 90 minutes in the restaurant and I'm not sure if they ever even started on my order. There was another family who ordered before us, and they did not even have their food before we left. Add to this that we were told that the wait would be 10 minutes, though in fairness we were able to grab a table in that time, just no food. What made all of this really infuriating was that it was clear that they were prioritizing Doordash/telephone orders over everyone physically in the restaurant. When we asked for a refund they lied and said that the food was ready, and scrambled to get started on making it. Though nobody was rude to me, the restaurant owner/manager was condescending to other people who asked how long the wait would be. They should prioritize the people who dine in over Doordash orders, or least be transparent about the wait. As things stand now, this place is a waste of time.Edit: They did also give us a full refund when we left. Though they could not refund the time we spent, this I appreciate.
Great food, great price. It's a favorite of mine
