Sumthin' Good Soul Food

Wonderful food in a very friendly place. We had the fried chicken with collard greens, baked beans, mac and cheese, creamy coleslaw, and biscuits. The restaurant is immaculate. We had their homemade banana cake, and it was delicious. On Fridays, they often have entertainment.

You gotta eat here!! Amazing prices and super tasty. We got the chicken and waffles with the Mac and cheese on top. Chicken was delicious. Waffle was great and the Mac and cheese tastes like home. I highly recommend this place. My 10 year old said it’s the best chicken he has ever had.

We were greeted at the door and welcomed into the restaurant. Everyone is so friendly and go out of their way for the best customer service. The guys that took our order, brought our food out, and check out at the counter all went above and beyond. The food is amazing. My wife ordered the chicken, some of the best we’ve had. I ordered the brisket, and let me tell you, for lunch time brisket, I was impressed. 10/10 would recommend. Must stop if you’re in the area!

Delicious food, friendly staff. Mac n cheese tasted homemade. Candied yams and cabbage were so good. We both had brisket, tender and yummy. Try the soul rolls! Everything was fabulous!

We just stopped in for the night, traveling back to Wisconsin, everything we had was so good! Highly recommend this place to anyone passing thru or that lives here! Pulled pork with BBQ sauce, catfish, best fried chicken ever! Baked beans, Mac and cheese greens! You will not regret!

We were here visiting the college. Stopped to get food. The best decision we’ve made in West Virginia. Delicious food! Very nice people, that make you feel at home. We love Sumthin Good Soul Food! If you ever go to West Virginia it’s a must to eat here,

We found this little gem and loved it! The food was fantastic. My kids loved the fried chicken which was homemade and super flavorful. My niece said it was the best Mac and cheese she’d ever had. That’s saying something in our family! Even my stepdad tore up his Chunky Butt! And the staff was all so kind. If you’re in South Charleston, this is the spot!

Best southern food outside of the actual southern U.S., very comparable to the best southern food anywhere (based on living down south 10 years). Friendly staff, great variety of flavorful foods at very reasonable prices. Late lunch/early dinner for four. Food came out very quickly and it was all served hot. Combos: Catfish, fried chicken, ribs, and chicken and waffles. Sides: Mac and cheese, coleslaw, baked beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, greens, candied yams. Catfish: breaded just right, there is a nice light crunch to every bite. Fish was cleaned perfectly, best catfish I’ve had. Fried chicken: terrific breading, a really nice crunch without the breading overriding the chicken itself. No greasiness, just yummy flavor. Ribs: redefined “fall off the bone” ribs for me, a light touch and it came right off. Many places claim “fall off the bone”, Sumthin’ Good Soul Food truly delivers. Sauce on the ribs was unlike other sauces I’ve had before, very tasty and definitely homemade; it had notes similar to other sauces but stood out as a unique great taste. Chicken and waffles: another success with chicken by this great restaurant. The breading seemed different than the fried chicken and was ideal for the pairing with waffles. Sides: all received rave reviews from my family. Most notable was the baked beans (sweet and savory awesomeness). Candied yams stood out, they clearly are freshly made using a cherished recipe. Parking appeared to be limited to the front of the building or at another nearby business.
