How on earth is this place closing? If another Black owner doesn't come in & save this place it will be a travesty! I'm finding it difficult to believe how there is anyone leaving a bad review here when everyone has been so kind & has been so hospitable from the time I made my call to see if they were open to the time I came in & asked if it was okay I parked where I did. The inside is so welcoming & warm along with the staff. This restaurant is just so sweet. I was so impressed because "this is how it should be." Let me just say this is absolutely what you would expect from a Black owned, southern soul restaurant. This is what family owned is ALL ABOUT. Smothered just the way my grandmother would have & greens as good as you could imagine. I had them from Sharkys & I knew that wasn't their specialty so when I found House of Soul, FINALLY!! It's breaking my heart to learn they're closing to move out of state. The way my heart is breaking to find out this so sad. Do you know how good this food is? Black eye pees & CORN BREAD? Whoever is on here saying this is dry or this is salty, took it home & let it set out or added too much to it because this is & will be one of the best spots this town has ever had. EVER. Inside & out. I only wish I had gotten to get down here sooner.
Great food good service their greens and pork chops are amazing and their 5 minutes from my house
This food hit the spot. So cute inside, much history and culture. We got catfish links yams and greens and cornbread. The links were in this delicious bbq sauce and just the right amount of hot. I feel good after eating it. I'm coming back here for sure. Good vibes, friendly people.
"House of Soul" has been serving the City of Vallejo and the SF Bay Area since 1968. Any restaurant that has made it this long must have the winning formula of good food, service and value. I was in the Vallejo area, and saw House of Soul on Yelp. It was 1.5 miles away, but closing in less than an hour. I decided to go by and see it they were still serving. I wasn't really expecting much 45 mins before closing. I parked right in front, and saw they were cleaning up the dining room. So I asked the young lady if they were still open, and she said "Yes, c'mon in!" I ordered the fried chicken combo meal with mac 'n cheese and green beans. Total was $20.04. I thought it was funny that they price it at $20.04. It would actually look better if it was $19.99. How was the food? I was surprised. 35 mins before closing, and the fried chicken was still moist with a spicy heat to the flavor. The skin was lightly crisp. The mac 'n cheese was creamy. The green beans were just okay. The food was being kept in warmers. There's nothing wrong with keeping food in warmers as long as holding times are observed and proper temps are maintained. As I left both the young lady and the server thanked me for coming. Next time, I will have to return at around dinner time. Support Local Business in the SF Bay Area!
They are still open!!! I called just to make sure and someone answered! The lady said they will have a pop up next weekend. Seems like they are sporadically open. Not sure what the problem is, but you can call them to find out when they are open and place an order. Good news!
