I finally made it to Katie O’s Soul Food, and everything I ordered was amazing. I had two pieces of fried catfish — crispy, seasoned perfectly, and fried just right.
My sides were all full of flavor and tasted homemade. My plate had:
• Fried catfish
• Candied yams
• Collard greens
• Mac & cheese
• Potato salad
• Cornbread
For dessert, I had their banana pudding, and it was absolutely delicious. I washed everything down with a strawberry lemonade that was refreshing and sweet.
When I say I came home, made my plate, ate, took a shower, and went straight to sleep? That’s how you know the food was GOOD — seasoned to perfection, fresh, and made with love.
To make the experience even sweeter, I later found out the owner is actually my good friend’s niece. The hospitality and courtesy were on point from the moment I walked in.
Everything was absolutely delicious. I’ll definitely be back!

10’s across the board. I loved everything I ordered. My only complaint is I wish I had a cornbread instead of a dinner roll. Nonetheless I enjoyed it with my catfish. Please send me the recipe for your Mac it was sooooo good. I would definitely say this is true authentic soul food. Yummy!

I waited an hour and I’m actually really disappointed I wanted tik tok to be right about this one but it wasn’t. $30 Down the drain! I ordered a turkey wing meal with mac and yams. The yams were soupy and didn’t have any nutmeg or cinnamon, it was just sweet didn’t taste like traditional yams. The mac was just ew no flavor and the cheese was curdled, horrible. The turkey wings were the best thing in the whole meal but the meat was very dry, but it was seasoned well. Tbh go to Vera’s their food is better and half the price for the same exact meal.

FIRST OFF i would like to say all the staff was very friendly and welcoming. This place has been the talk of the town, so of course there was a line before opening. Came with my sister after seeing many tik tok reviews. The served samples while we’re on line & the line moved semi quick. After an hour we ordered, food came up to $96, waited another hour for the food. So far good experience.
The food was hot & packaged neatly. BUTTT the big banger for me was the food was sadly mediocre. I was expecting more from all the videos and post I was seeing. It’s NOT nasty at all, but for some reason was expecting more. The candied tea was TOO SWEET, gave a cake ish taste. The mac n cheese was kind of oily so the cheese didn’t stick & the banana pudding didn’t have enough cookies. The collard greens didn’t really have taste.
The turkey wings were AMAZINGGG & juicy falling off the bones & the garlic parmesan chicken was very tasty. Overalll I’d give it a 4/10. Spending almost $100, I’m kind of disappointed in the taste of the food.

What an experience! The entire staff, owner etc. was so pleasant. The owner was so welcoming. You’re immediately greeted when you walk in and asked if you would like to try samples of the food. Everything is made fresh to order. The food was delicious. I drove out from Queens to try it and I’ll be back. The day I went, they was playing oldies outside, felt like I was home with family. 10/10 recommend.

I came here with my friends because we saw it on tiktok and wanted to give it a try. I ordered fried chicken, mac & cheese, cornbread stuffing, and soul punch. We waited almost an hour for our food which wasn’t an issue because we weren’t in a rush and they seemed busy. Our food was ready and we sat to eat excitedly, and to our disappointment the food was extremely underwhelming. The chicken was overcooked and dry, the mac and cheese was overcooked and was chunky, and the cornbread stuffing just didn’t taste good. The soul punch was not too bad but it was just extremely sweet and tasted plastic-like. We were really disappointed because tiktok said it was good and there was a lot of people on line for it so we expected good things from this place, but unfortunately it was not good at all. I’m sure many others think that the food is good but to me and my friends the meal was a huge disappointment and definitely 100% not worth the $32 payed. Overpriced and disappointing!

Katie O did an absolutely amazing job catering my wife’s birthday dinner! The food was beyond delicious every dish was full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how good everything was. Katie’s professionalism, attention to detail, and warm personality made the whole experience even better. She truly helped make the night unforgettable. Highly recommend her for any special occasion! ️

I’ve been here three times because I really wanted to give them a fair chance, but after my last visit, I don’t see myself going back. The food isn’t bad the mashed potatoes were amazing and the turkey wings were seasoned to the bone, but the service is extremely slow. It took nearly an hour to order and another hour to get our food.
$25 for a one-piece catfish dinner feels overpriced. I also saw others mention getting samples, but I wasn’t offered any. Having only one cashier taking orders definitely adds to the long wait.

I visited this establishment last night to pick up three orders from Too Good to Go. I was greeted by Darryl, who informed me that there would be a 15-20 minute wait as the orders needed to be freshly prepared. I was happy to wait, as I understand the importance of freshness.
However, during my wait, I observed another customer being offered samples, and Darryl also inquired if it was their first time visiting, which he asked me the same question earlier (this was also my 1st time as well). While I understand that every customer is treated individually, I would have appreciated the same offer.
After waiting 15 minutes, I was excited to try the food, especially since it came recommended by a friend. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed with the quality of the meals. The 3 orders contained only two small pieces of chicken, which resembled more like nuggets than a full portion, along with a small serving of rice and cabbage. Given that I waited for fresh food, I was expecting a more substantial and satisfying portion, and the quality of the chicken was also quite oily and could use some more seasoning.
I truly wanted to enjoy my meal and had high expectations based on the recommendation. But unfortunately did not.

I should’ve read the reviews before deciding to go.
Pros: Food is made fresh to order. The proportions are great and your choice of protein is great as well. The staff is super friendly and makes you feel at home. There’s a DJ outside playing all of the old school tunes that will keep you entertained.
Cons: The line was crazy when I arrived. I had to have a family member stand on the line while I found parking. We stood on the line for 50 minutes before we placed our order. Then, we waited another hour and 10 minutes before we received our order.
(Total stay 2 hours)
I love to support small businesses. But, that line and 2 hour wait was a turn-off.
