SOULutions - Syracuse (NY)

5 /5 M M: If I could give this restaurant 10 stars I would. Every bite is rich with bold spices and steeped in the soulful warmth of the South. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We ordered bbq, catfish, greens, and mac and cheese. They even accommodated us by customizing a small cheese and tomato sandwich as requested. We had pineapple-lemonade to drink, delicious! Everything is reasonably priced. Shanicka and Shontae gave us excellent service. A big thanks to everyone!♥️

1 /5 Dennis Sola: We got the ribs and they were 20 dollars, it was terrible. They were extremely dry, excessively spiced with cumin. You could not taste the ribs at all. On top of that, the ribs were extremely small, like a quarter of a portion. The greens were terrible as well. Avoid this place until it improves the food. It’s terribly bad and expensive for what you get

4 /5 Jen Led: SOLID SOUL FOOD Fried chicken is my kryptonite and I looked forward to trying their berbere mustard version with two sides for $16. We were lucky it was a Friday and my husband ordered the catfish with two sides for $18. You get a HUGE amount of food for the money and it took about 15 minutes to get our freshly made order. Service was friendly, efficient, and helpful. Catfish: It’s a 9/10. Could’ve been more flavorful, but had a great cornmeal texture and flaky moist fish within. Berbere Mustard Chicken: Also lacked proper seasoning and was dry. 5/10 Mac & Cheese: 7/10 Unique and very edible. Greens: 8/10 Needed seasoning, but very good with some additional salt. Not sure about the Parmesan on top…. Yams: Yum! 9/10 Best eaten as dessert Cornbread: 3/10 Dry and not worth eating. Located in Salt City Market.

5 /5 Brian M.: Best catfish meal that I have ever had! The fish was hot, cooked perfectly and seasoned to perfection. The sides of the "Fire" Mac and cheese and the "Not Your Utica Greens" were delicious as well. All served up by friendly and efficient team members. Great food!!!

5 /5 David Barber: Yup. Just call me basic. I went to a Soul Food/Southern BBQ and just got a burger. The rest of their menu really looked good, but I was craving a burger. Food came pretty quick, even though it was busy. The Red Double was cooked perfectly and was very flavorful. The home fires (the side dish) had an excellent seasoning. Thank you!
