We went to Soul Vibez on a Saturday afternoon around 1pm. Fortunately, it wasn't crowded and there wasn't a line. It was confusing since there are two restaurants that are side by side when you reach the counter and two different menus. We went with the soul food vs. the vegan restaurant option. There are some unique items on the menu, like soul food egg rolls, salmon egg rolls and crispy salmon bites. We ordered the soul food egg rolls, honey fried chicken and waffles, crispy salmon bites, stuffed salmon, macaroni and cheese, greens, red beans and rice, chocolate chip cookies and strawberry lemonade. The soul food egg rolls were excellent! They were the best part of the meal although they are only an appetizer. I didn't care for the grease that the salmon was fried in...tasted like old grease. The stuffing in the salmon was way too rich. Literally, I needed to add greens to the portion on my fork to offset the richness. The waffles were good, the wings tasted like they were fried in the same oil as the salmon bites, but they were ok, especially with the honey sauce provided. The greens were too salty. The macaroni and cheese was too runny and not baked as most soul food restaurants do. The red beans and rice were good. The chocolate chip cookies were vegan and had a different texture, but tasted pretty good. The strawberry lemonade was very tasty, but a bit too sweet for me.
We were dining in, but all orders are created to-go and in containers. Would be nice if they at least gave paper plates for those that are dining for guests to put their food on for it to feel more like a dine-in experience.
The restaurant itself is nice and they have two all gender restrooms. Unfortunately, there was no soap in one of the restrooms, which presents sanitary concerns. Overall though, the restaurant was clean. There is also outdoor seating, which is a good option during warmer months.
It's important to note that this food is expensive. We had three separate orders that totaled to well over $100. Portion sizes are small for the prices and dining experience. The customer service was great and we received our food within about 15 minutes.
I would return to support this business - but I'd only purchase the soul food egg rolls with a strawberry lemonade.
