The red velvet cake was not it, though.
Service by Chyna was great, even while they were busy, which we really appreciated. The music was a bit loud, but overall it was a nice spot for a celebration.
The fried chicken and waffles were the standout for me. The chicken was perfectly seasoned with a crisp, golden crust and juicy meat inside, paired beautifully with fluffy waffles that struck the right balance between sweet and savory.
Absolute comfort food perfection.
The fried deviled eggs were rich and indulgent, with a creamy filling and a crispy exterior that added great texture. The fried catfish bites were light, flaky, and well-seasoned—no heaviness, just clean, soulful flavor. The shrimp and grits were smooth and comforting, with tender shrimp and deeply flavored grits that felt both hearty and refined.
The sides were just as impressive. The collard greens were slow-cooked, savory, and full of depth, while the black-eyed peas were tender, earthy, and perfectly seasoned—classic soul food done right.
One final note: the hot sauce is incredible and absolutely worth buying to take home. It packs flavor, not just heat.
Everything about this visit—from the food to the service—was outstanding. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in Detroit.
Highly recommend Fixins Soul Kitchen if you’re looking for authentic, elevated soul food done with care and pride.
I highly recommend them for you to try. I ordered the oxtail meal and it came with 2 sides but I ordered 3 sides because I couldn’t make a decision on just 2. The Oxtail was on a bed of rice with gravy and that was sooo good
My sides was Mac and cheese ( was good ), collard greens ( amazing ), yams ( fantastic ), charred ocra ( which I didn’t like. It tasted burnt ). I ordered dessert to go of course which was peach cobbler and that was Ok. I would go back to try more of the menu. I gave a 4 because of the ocra and cobbler
My experience at Fixins Soul Kitchen in Detroit was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we walked in, everything felt warm, welcoming, and intentional. The restaurant is Black-owned, beautifully rooted in culture, and the cuisine was outstanding.
The food came out hot, fresh, delicious, and right on time, which I truly appreciated — especially since I had two young kids with me. Everyone we encountered, from the manager to the entire staff, was incredibly helpful, caring, and patient with us.
Our waiter, Danyelle, was absolutely exceptional. She took the time to share the history, culture, and story behind the restaurant and its owner, and she was such a joy to talk to. You could really feel her pride and passion. The manager also made rounds, checking on tables and genuinely asking about our experience, which meant a lot.
This was my very first time visiting Detroit (I’m from Chicago), and the hospitality made us feel right at home — warm, cozy, and welcomed. I originally came in for a work conference, but I’m so glad I decided to stay a little longer and experience this restaurant.
I truly can’t wait to come back to Detroit and explore more of the city — and Fixins will definitely be at the top of my list. If I could give 10 stars, I would.
And please… do yourself a favor and order the red Kool-Aid with your plate. Trust me.
