"Down-home cooking that’s been modernized is the theme over at Soul Shack, situated directly across the street from Sophy Hotel. The restaurant’s inventive in the sense that classic dishes are turned up a notch with Southern flair. Particular of note are the signature soul rolls filled with macaroni and cheese, greens, and fried yams; jerked Cornish hens; and fried smothered chicken." - Audarshia Townsend
