Stopped in for lunch. I tried the curry chicken, which was very good. The turkey wing and ox tails were also good. Mac and cheese and sweet potatoes were good. The greens didn’t have a whole lot of flavor. The cake was not as chocolatey as it looked. The sweet tea was diabetes in a cup, basically sweet water. No need to use THAT much sugar. Overall though, pretty good.

I ordered takeout from this soul food spot, and everything was amazing. I had the fried wings, which were perfectly crispy and seasoned so well. The mac and cheese was really good—the consistency and texture were spot on! I personally would’ve liked just a touch more salt, but that could just be because I’m used to saltier food, and I understand they have to cater to everyone’s palate. The yams were perfect to me.
My husband had the curry goat with mac, yams, and greens, and he really enjoyed the greens. The facility was clean, vibrant, and I appreciated seeing scripture—it made me feel safe and welcomed. I’ll definitely be returning!

Rainey’s Soul Food is delicious—definitely one of my new favorite spots in Hampton! Everyone in the restaurant is so nice, and the service is quick with little to no wait time. The curry chicken was tender and full of flavor, and the yams were to die for—perfectly balanced and absolutely amazing. The mac and cheese was just right, cheesy but not over the top, and tasted just like home. The only thing I wasn’t crazy about were the collard greens, which could’ve used a bit more flavor, but overall, the food was great!

This was my first visit to Rainey’s Soul Food and it did not disappoint! I ordered the curry chicken, mac n cheese, collard greens and a side of candied yams. Everything was cooked to perfection! No additional seasoning required for anything! I definitely recommend 10 out of 10!

Very popular spot with a lot of people traffic which means food must be tasty. This is my first visit and I came from williamsburg. I expect good food from reviewing the reviews and seeing the number of people who came during my wait for my to go meal.

I’ve had the oxtail with cabbage and red beans and rice… delicious! Also, the brown stew chicken as well… all finger licking good! The portions are excellent and the people feel like family.
I will definitely be going back when in the Hampton area.

The portion ratio was off to me. And both were the same cost. I’m used to rice being complementary. But no biggie. Both the jerk and curry chicken were very good and flavorful. The jerk was good but could’ve been better if it had gravy.

Now this my fourth time eating from here and the food was always on point now this evening I wet to pick up my order that I called in Oxytales rice/ beans and cabbage get home to warm my food up and the cabbage is so soggy like it’s been reheated up and few days old and I no fit a fat this cabbage is not fresh cause I make it on the regular on Sundays it was very disappointing knowing how much I paid for this platter and my husband curry chicken platter as well we both got the cabbage and he said the same thing so we couldn’t even eat it cause of it being old. I hate when restaurants do this a sell left over vegetables it’s never giving what meat gives being left over !
