Best Soul Food Southern Restaurants in Atlanta | Eater Atlanta

"Open at its new location in Ashview Heights, just west of Atlanta University Center, Soulbox is described as a Southern-Afro soul food restaurant. Regulars to its previous location on Oak Street, and now on Fair Street, swear by the smothered fried pork chops served with yellow saffron rice, smoked fried turkey wings, and fall-off-the-bone baby back ribs. Entrees come with cornbread cakes and a choice of two sides, including collards, creamy mac and cheese, and cornbread dressing. Make sure to also order some strawberry lemonade and peach cobbler for dessert." - Mike Jordan

The West End’s Best Meals Under $20

"Soulbox, a fast-casual mostly takeout spot, sells boxable lunches for around $15. Get a Soul-boxable—you pick your meat option, from flavorful whole-wing chicken, to tender pork chops, and saucy ribs, along with a side and cornbread. With the exception of savory black-eyed peas and collards, many of the sides are super sweet, especially the wincingly sugary candied yams, so expect to fight off a potential sugar crash if heading back to work." - demarco williams, nina reeder, jacinta howard

Soulbox Soul Food Review - West End - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"When your sad desk lunch kills your will to work, Soulbox in the West End is your $15 lifeline to a huge lunch portion, just order wisely. A Soul-boxable (their take on a boxed lunch) includes a meat option—from flavorful chicken or shrimp to pork chops or ribs—along with one side, and a piece of soft cornbread. If you go for the whole fried chicken wings, dousing it in very wet lemon pepper sauce will run you an extra $2 (yes, just for the sauce). With the exception of the savory vegan black-eyed peas and collards made with turkey meat, a lot of the sides here are a little sugary, especially the wincingly sweet candied yams. The peach cobbler is moist and comes in a super cute personal pan container, although it too, is doused with sugar crystals on the crust." - Jacinta Howard

I had an all aground great experience. I did not catch her name but the lady who helped me and my father was very helpful and gave great energy. As someone who had never been to this establishment and was visiting from out of town, I can say that I will be returning on my next trip to Atlanta. I ordered the chicken and rice with a side of candy yams, collard greens, cornbread and the dressing . I also ordered the strawberry lemonade that is also made in house and was delicious and packed with flavor (perfect for a warm day). The atmosphere was great , there was music and cooling air and the workers made conversation and expressed ahead of time if something wasn’t available. I recommend coming here and trying for yourself, you won’t regret it!!

My God the food was wonderful! Ordered through UberEats and was so pleasantly satisfied. I got the baked turkey wings and had more than enough left over. Can’t wait to order again. The wings were perfect!

I was disappointed by there descriptions on their menu for this peach cobbler. The portion description states it’s enough for 2 people or 1 greedy person. Take look at the pictures below and judge for yourself. In addition, the taste was not that great. The Strawberry, Pineapple Lemonade taste like syrup and water. It was very heavy on the sweet where you can’t taste flavors just sugar. Cornbread was flavorless and hard as a rock. Mac and cheese was ok, I added more cheese to make it cheesy. Now the greens, cabbage, potato salad, and fried chicken was delicious. The customer service was great, but they do have a sign posted about what they don’t give refunds for. Read it and pay attention to it. Nonetheless, I tried it, thanks won’t be back.

I was excited to try this restaurant after seeing their post on social media and wanted to show my support. Upon arrival, the staff was friendly and welcoming. The menu offered a wide variety of options, including pork chops, chicken, seafood, and an assortment of vegetables. I decided to order the fried chicken dinner with a side, which came to $34. While the price felt a bit steep, I’m always willing to pay more for good food. I also noticed there was a service charge added, and the total cost varied depending on the payment method, which I hadn’t expected. The food arrived fairly quickly, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the quality didn’t meet my expectations. The mac and cheese wasn’t the traditional style I’m used to, and the yams were extremely dark and oddly chewy. On a positive note, the chicken batter was well-seasoned, and the greens were..decent. I tried to eat what I could since the meal was expensive, but after just two bites of the yams, I knew I couldn’t continue. After debating whether to call I called the restaurant afterward to share my feedback, hoping for some kind of understanding or resolution. However, the person I spoke with didn’t seem very open to hearing my concerns. She mentioned a sign in the restaurant (which I didn’t see) stating “that their food may not match everyone’s flavor profile.” She ended the conversation by essentially saying it was my fault for not liking the food and for that reason nothing could be done. Overall, I was truly disappointed by both the meal and the response I received. I wanted to support a business I was excited about, but unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to the promise!

Just experienced the BEST soul food in Atlanta at Soul Box! This hole-in-the-wall spot is easy to miss, but the food is absolutely incredible. My veggie plate (collards, cabbage, mac & cheese, yams, cornbread with honey butter) was divine, and my daughter loved her fried chicken box. Don't even get me started on the homemade pineapple strawberry lemonade and blueberry lemon cobbler! 🤤 Friendly service from two amazing women too! #SoulFood #AtlantaEats #HiddenGem #SupportLocal

First off let me say this- the customer service is unmatched. Very pleasant and inviting- after flying 18 hours from Europe, some good hot soul food was needed. We were greeted upon entry- very calm environment with the jams playing. Plenty of options and not rushed to make a decision. My daughter and I enjoyed the break in our traveling day. I enjoyed the food and its flavors - not overly seasoned. The strawberry lemonade I ordered 3 - I did dilute it with water, but I’m not a juice drinker to begin with. It was delicious. The veggie plate was a great option for a person like me and all my meat no meat and texture issues. My daughter ordered pork chops and a salmon plate to go. Y’all have gained 2 new customers and we will be back before our trip is over on this leg - we enjoyed the 1.5 hours we spent at this place just listening to good music and having great hot soul food.

Atmosphere was very cluttered and junky. Half of the restaurant looked like a storage space for random items. Make your business look appealing to customers is a recommendation. Service was good although they were only accepting cash wish I wasn’t prepared for which caused me to spend less than I had planned because I had planned to use my card. The pork chop breading was thick and overwhelming I did not enjoy it. However the pork chop itself was very moist which tends to be a hit or miss at most restaurants. The rice was okay, could have been reworked or sat under a lamp a bit mushy for my taste. The greens were really good nice and crunch with a vinegary taste not overcooked like most places. The cornbread was dry crumbly and not very flavorful. I would go back but wouldn’t order anything fried because I don’t like the flavor of the breading they use.

** Don't judge this book by it's cover ** A friend of mine came in town for Thanksgiving weekend and wanted some Soul Food and she actually found this place herself from Google Maps. She had turkey wings and something and I believe the same sides as me but this plate was good! Service was friendly, the young lady that took our order was also multi tasking and doing other things as well. I'd come back and bring someone here, I'm glad she found this place.

The food was amazing. The atmosphere was nice and the customer service was top tier. Reminds me of Sunday dinner with the family. Took a friend who had never been and she was in heaven with the food. She was impressed and very satisfied. As you can see the portions are very nice and the prices are reasonable.

Got here at about 630 pm. Ordered and it took about 10 minutes to get food. However they ha e a sign that says that they cook everything to order. Ordered the smother chicken wings with ppotato salad, and candy yams. The wings were over yellow rice. My only complaint is that the rice was salty. I liked that they fried the wi as first and then put the gravy on top. So the wings still had a little crunch. The potato salad had to much mayo. The corn bread was good. Just a heads up the drink selection was very limited. They didn't have water. Now this is not a sit down and a waiter comes to you table place. So........ The you lady was very nice taking the orders. The food comes out hot and the portions are large. Very small place in the hood.

I just left, came home ready to eat. Chicken was not done, mac and cheese had no cheese, collard greens no taste, bread dry, only thing that was good was the yams. Whole plate in the trash.

The food was horrible. My daughter found a small piece in her pork chops. Mac and cheese looked and tasted disgusting....tasted like noodles with white gravy and sprinkled with a dab of cheese. I had baked turkey, I paid extra for crispy... NOT! it was soggy, tasted bland. The stuffing was burnt and disgusting as well. I spent $57 on UberEATS. I wouldn't give this food to a homeless person seriously. I'd never recommend this order. If this is Soul food I'll pass FOREVER!! Wish I had the pic I sent them with metal in the pork chops.

Not sure how long they've been there but i have for sure have been in the area for the last 6 years and kinda mad i havent tried them until today. The food and service was amazing and when i seen the price i usually get a little iffy, didnt second guess it one time and wanted to leave a tip and it was worth every bit. I highly recommend this place. I will be back. Thanks again.

This place is getting a 4 from me because my cornbread was so burnt that I had to throw it away. However everything else I ordered was good! I ordered from ubereats, so I've never actually been in the restaurant. The porkchop was seasoned so great and was fried to perfection. The mac and cheese was creamy and had good flavor. The collard greens were seasoned well and weren't bitter. I also ordered a side of the saffron rice. The rice is really good, I'll give them that. However I will say I was expecting a bit more of it for the price. But overall, I will absolutely be ordering from this place again!

This location is super dope. You walk in, go to the tablet (for pick up) to check in and they text you when your order is ready. Super smooth process and user friendly. I ordered the veggie plate with Greens, Cabbage, Yams, and Cornbread Dressing and was pleased with the plate as a whole. Full Breakdown: The Cabbage was very bland so I would suggest the greens if you prefer flavor as they were very well seasoned. The yams were ideal. Well cooked. Perfectly seasoned. Not too sweet. Soul Food Perfection. I will come back for those alone. The Cornbread Dressing was perfect and the gravy just made you close your eyes and think of Sunday Dinner. There's nothing like a good dressing and this one is on point.

Ordered the turkey wings, baked mac and cheese, collard greens and peach cobbler for my grandson who attends college there. He could not believe how awful everything was. Turkey wings super salty and tasted like the oil used was over used. The mac and cheese was actually runny and watery. Collard greens horrible and the same for the peach cobbler. $44 spent and thrown in the garbage. It's one thing to dislike an item Ordered but for everything to be terrible is unbelievable. I truly don't understand the other reviews which were good except for one which I saw as Iwas leaving my review.. Never again. This was my treat and the experience was bad. Never again. Save your money and go elsewhere. The young lady I spoke to could care less about my complaint. She said there's nothing we can do because he didn't like it. I said are you kidding me. Of course there is. A refund of $44. Let's start there. I asked to speak with the owner or manager and she said no one was there. Managers are typically there for the patrons that are eating in. She said email and I said no I want to speak to someone. Only the chef was there and he could not speak because he was cooking. I asked for the owner's name and Keira said her name is Ishala so I will call on Tuesday for a refund.

Ordered thru delivery service ... received brown foul smelling macaroni. How can ANY restaurant KNOWINGLY serve spoiled mac n cheese?! The food has been great every time I ordered ... but no ... can't even fathom the thought of coming back here. Opened the container and smelled the bad mac n cheese ... if it stunk when I opened the container, how could anyone there NOT SMELL IT?! EDIT: Based on your tacky response ... I SAID WTF I said and my order wasn't from the day I left this ACCURATE response. That fragile ego you came back at me with is laughable at best. I didn't order from you directly and I was never going to waste my time and come back to you to "fix" when your best was spoiled, rotten and out of date product. I got EVERY cent I paid back on BOTH orders I had delivered and I was ok with that. Since you feel the need to air your grievances since you can't do no wrong let me lay it out ... First: you can't get orders out on time and you have both drivers AND customers waiting an obscene amount of time. Second: You're barely in a test kitchen combined with other companies that seem to be more efficient and streamlined when it comes to having orders ready vs yours. Third: No one should have to EVER call you about spoiled food in the hopes of fixing the order or replacing any part of it because NO ONE should have to be subjected to the humiliation of your effort and/or service. FOURTH: As a consumer that spent MY money in YOUR test kitchen "establishment," how dare you try to make me seem as if i'm here to bad mouth your product? No sir ... your nasty lack of attention of food preparedness made that happen and quite frankly i'm not surprised your response falls in order with your food. FIFTH: Don't ever play victim when you're holding the smoking gun ... I ordered FROM YOU. And I was delivered what YOU put forth. Not my fault your raggety service and subpar attention warranted this TRUE AND ACCURATE rating. Focus on your employees recycling spoiled food and maybe you'd get AND KEEP repeat customers ...

I've been wanting to try this place for the longest. I've seen the business page on Instagram , I always see it pop up on Uber eats and when you search the location this is one of the few restaurants that pop up. I ordered a veggie plate . Mac n Cheese , cabbage , yams , black eye peas and a side of green beans. I also ordered the peach cobbler and their juice/ I ordered it via Uber eats! When it arrived the food was still piping hot . I love that. I don't live far from them anyways tho maybe 10-15 mins. Okay the yams was good , The cabbage was okay The black eye peas was missing something but I ate them . The Mac n cheese was very and I mean very salty . I did enjoy that it wasn't dry and hard . It was a good consistency. Please please please cut back with the seasoning. I honestly was only able to take 3 bites before discarding it. It was way to salty for my liking. The peach cobbler was great I would prefer more crust . The juice I didn't like it . I would try them again but in person . Support black owned business

Good stuff! Tastes like a homecooked dinner--comfort food. I got this delivered on a Sunday around lunchtime and it was very fast and easy. I got the smothered fried chicken wings, which were outstanding, with cabbage and black eyed peas. I also had greens on the side. Everything was nicely spiced and the veggie side dishes in particular stood out because they were just as tasty as the wings--couldn't stop eating them till I cleared the plate. The cornbread was quite good--I haven't had this style (like a little round cake) but it was just the right kind of crumbly and no too sweet. One really nice thing about this meal is that it felt balanced and pretty healthy--I think this is likely because of the quality of the ingredients. After I ate, I didn't feel like bloated or sluggish like I had eaten a lot of fat and sodium as I do when I sometimes get fried chicken and/or gravy. I felt good and energetic the rest of the afternoon.

A pleasant surprise ordered via GrubHub! I really enjoyed everything except for my cornbread. My collards and Mac and cheese are hiding under the cornbread, but they were also pretty good. The greens could use some hot sauce or seasoning. My cornbread was terrible and tasted like water baked water, but the rest of my meal made up for it!

I didn't actually try the food because it was ordered for my Mother. Though I was initially sent to a wrong location, I greatly appreciated having someone from the restaurant to call me. My mother loved the food that she ordered and was even generous in letting me try her cobbler .. which I loved. Will definitely be back the next time in the area.

I was looking for a new spot to try via UberEats on a Saturday night and came across SoulBox. I saw they had pretty good reviews and the food looked good, so I decided to give them a try. I'd been wanting some good alfredo, but didn't feel like making it. So once I saw they had some, I was sold. When selecting my order, I was a bit confused because there were duplicate food selections, but the prices and descriptions were different. In hindsight, I probably should've called the restaurant to confirm, but I went based off the descriptions instead. I ordered the shrimp Alfredo pasta which was described as Atlantic salmon AND gulf shrimp. My order to a WHILE to arrive. I got a notification that the restaurant was taking a little longer than expected and then I assume traffic played a role too. Once I finally got my food, I was disappointed to see only shrimp. I called the restaurant and the person who answered the phone said the $30 meal is what includes both salmon and shrimp...even though the titling and descriptions were wrong. I informed her of the error and she said she'd go on and check it out. I took my L this time, but hopefully they fixed it for other customers in the future. Okay, finally taste - it was cool, but I wasn't impressed. The shrimp were seasoned very well, but the Alfredo was missing something and tasted a bit off. The broccoli was undercooked (this is coming from someone who likes her broccoli still a BIT firm) and unseasoned and the mushrooms were cooked well, but also unseasoned. I thought they would've given more than three broccoli florets, but it's whatever. The garlic bread was good though. The food looked good, but didn't taste as good. I really want to give them another try, but am afraid I'll waste my money again. We'll see...

Myself and a couple friends had dinner delivered from here and unfortunately it wasn't a hit. I was very much looking forward to the dressing and it was a complete disappointment. It just didn't taste good and there was a weird ingredient over powering everything and sides are $6.50 so not cheap at all. The food was a tad pricey especially considering nobody really enjoyed the food. The smothered pork chops were not tender, the cornbread was dry and the gravy was AWFUL. Mac and cheese eh it was edible, black eyed peas were ok but needed a lil seasoning. The one thing that was good was the chicken wings. Overall it felt like a waste of money so I certainly wouldn't give it another try. The delivery was on time and the food was still hot when it arrived.

The Turkey leg, collard greens, and Lima beans were hot and delish! I ordered using Grubhub and it took about 15-20 minutes. You could tell everything was freshly made! It's took me about 15 minutes to get home, and my food is still hot upon arrival. 5 stars!!!

Never heard of this spot until now. A new addition to the West End so i decided to give it a try since I was definitely craving some vegetables. There's only an option for a 4 item vegetable plate. I would've preferred if there was an option for just 3 item veg plate but I went with the four. It's really expensive... $18 for the plate. This from a person who's used to grabbing $10 avg priced veggie plates from various soul food spots scattered over the city. Don't think I'll be back too often based on sheer price alone. HOWEVER, service was impeccable! Since I pulled up with a sleeping toddler and was unfamiliar with the ordering process, the owner offered to bring my meal out to my car even though they do not offer curbside delivery. I thought that was extremely kind of her! Food was great! Macaroni made you feel like someone didn't just pour a bucket of Velveeta in a pot mixed with noodles. The Black Eyed Peas and lima beans were on point. They were soft and well seasoned. I got the yams but I didn't want yams. I feel like people do too much with brown sugar and marshmallows and all of that (personal opinion of course) but this version was sweet and the texture was definitely candied. In hindsight they may have been a but sweeter than I typically care for but the candied texture made for a mouth watering experience. I enjoyed them! The cornbread cake was delicious. Didn't really need the honey butter but it would've been nice to try. My little shot container (as pictured ) was only about 1/4 full so not much of an experience there. Looking forward to trying them again when I feel like dropping $20+(tax and tip included) on a veggie plate . If dining in is an option, probably would make for a mire worthy experience.

Food here is A1, I love and am grateful that they do not use pork to cook their greens. They have all the fixings, definitely give their menu a browse and you'll find something to suit your taste. I like to order from here when I'm feeling lazy and don't want to cook or deal with dishes. Customer service here is even better than the food. They truly value your patronage here, I'll happily support any business with this mindset. Their site uses Doordash to fulfill deliveries. Unfortunately, the driver mishandled my food and didn't provide my beverage. I contacted the business and they refunded me for the inconvenience.

My last day in Atlanta, I was craving soul food. Yelp led me to Soul Box. At first, I had no idea what to do. It's not a restaurant, but a take out spot. I ordered the turkey wings, mac and cheese and collard greens. I could barely figure out how to pick my food up, but the young man behind the counter gently guided me through the process. The wings were the most decadent I've ever tasted. The Mac and cheese - the perfect compliment. I think there was rice, too! My taste buds were satiated, singing hallelujah! The cornbread was good , too! I highly recommend being open to this experience. Quick tip- order before you go. Love, a foodie.

The Fried Turkey Wings with the exception of them being extremely greasy the plate with 2 sides and Cornbread was tasty! The fried wings plate was large enough for dinner and lunch the following day.

This is it. Really. I learned about this spot on Yelp and immediately fell in deep, passionate love with each bite that I took of my delicious meal. I ordered it for a late Sunday lunch after running errands and watching church, and my immediate thought while eating was this is absolutely spectacular, flavorful food cooked with love and soul. The spot is so mysterious and almost looks like a factory outside in the West End, but they are churning out food that only about three Black Grandmas in the kitchen who can make the good potato salad can make. It was simply perfection. It was fast. It was hot to the degree where I almost burned my hands removing the peach cobbler from the bag, and that is how it should be. It was well-seasoned and each bite was the gospel song "Everyday is a Day of Thanksgiving." Every bite just made a brutha wanna give thanks to the ethereal beings for such stellar goodness. This is the type of food where you sop up the juice and don't care who is watching. It's like what love tastes like if it had a taste. If the peach cobbler was a person, I'd get naked and make love to it. It is that good. Bravo, y'all. I'm honestly coming back tomorrow.

I opted to try this place as it kept coming up as a suggestion when I was in this part of the city. It was a good experience, not sure about returning soon though until after COVID subsides because it made the wait pretty long which was frustrating. Food: good size portions, well packaged and great presentation. I orders the baked wings with yellow rice, Lima beans and yams. The chicken and yams were really good and flavorful. The Lima beans seemed to be kinda dark for my liking so I opted not to eat them. Food was packaged well though and the quality of the cooking was great. Lots of standard options to choose from. Price: $$-$$$ depending on what you select. It's Rena to be fair though. I would say average cost is about 15-17 dollars depending on your item choice. Parking: limited as it seems to be only pick/carry out. I didn't see anywhere to sit and eat. The lot was congested when I arrived and remained that way during the whole hour that I waited. Process: I ordered online via Yelp. The site recommended online ordering for a quicker pick up time. When I ordered it was a 20-30 min wait, which I thought was fair if cooking to order then as soon as I paid and the order transmitted, the time increased to 50 minutes and we really waited all 50 min. Overall, a good spot to scratch the soul food itch without all the bells and whistles. Will most likely return eventually.

The salmon and shrimp were very well seasoned. Sweet potato soufflé and the cornbread were amazing. The greens could have used a bit more seasoning but still tasted great.

I am in the Atlanta area and wanted some soul food! I tried several places that I will not name because they were trash and I want to recognize the positive . I almost gave up when I came across Soul Box and decided to give my soul food dreams one more try. Well they did not disappoint on the meal! I ordered a pork chop dinner, smothered wing dinner and Turkey wing dinner. All of them were well seasoned and had large portions for the money. The Turkey wing was so tender and the gravy over that yellow saffron rice was scrumptious. The signature drinks were good, not too sweet, refreshing and thirst quenching. If I had one complaint it would be about the cobbler. It comes in a personal pan of which mine was burnt and had hardly any peaches... it was mostly burnt crust. Even with that, I thoroughly enjoyed Soul Box! I would recommend it and I would definitely go again.

As a mother of four, and knowing my husband would need his separate plate/ dish, I decided on buying 4 extra sides, extra bread patties (11 year old son said it was dry and gave it a 6.5), not only was this not enough food, but it was different containers than advertised and the containers were not full. My husband stated that the smoked turkey was alright and also dry. In all we spent $60 on okay food. I'm a connoisseur of dressing and it was good , but sadly much too much salty. Unfortunately I can't say we will return. I'm a advocate for black business and their ability to recieve the chance at my dollar as any other company, but this wasn't worth $60. Maybe 35-40...but advertising one container amount and sending a smaller one is deceptive. I'm an educator and I don't play about my money and how it's spent.

Food is delicious. I got the salmon over rice w Mac n cheese and collards. Wish I could've taken a picture but I did indeed devour the whole thing. I like the portion of food you get. Definitely filling & well seasoned. The place itself was weird. It's one big building with several restaurants inside and you pick up and order from the same counter.

Yeah that was great! I order the fried chicken wings, greens, black eyed peas, small rice, and peach cobbler. I will order all again except the peach cobbler and that has nothing to do with how it taste. I just like mine with more crust, but it's tasty.

I tried Soulbox Soul Food today based off the good reviews I'd read. I was very disappointed. I ordered the baked turkey wing dinner with yellow rice, collards and black eye peas and the peach cobbler. The turkey wings and collards were not good to me at all. I even tried to doctor up the greens to avoid discarding them. I ended up throwing away the turkey wings and most of the black eye peas. The yellow rice and black eye peas were okay. The peach cobbler was okay (not bad). Wasted my almost $40 bucks on this meal. I'll look at it as a contribution to help our community restaurant.

I placed a delivery order through Grubhub. My food came in a brown bag stapled to prevent someone from tampering with it. Also I was very impressed with the to go container, my food was tightly secured in a 3 piece plastic plate container (food did not spill over). I ordered yellow rice, smothered fried chicken, cabbage, and mac and cheese. Umm Umm good, the yellow rice and chicken was delicious, both were very well season. The mac and cheese didn't look pretty but the taste was good. The cabbage was ok, I prefer for it to be softer. I had a little unexpected bonus with the cornbread and honey butter, very good also. They serve a healthy portion. I will be ordering again.

This was the worst service experience of my life!!!!! Nobody knows what their doing or how to accurately take orders. I waited over an hour with no apology or compensation for my time!! This is fucking take out food there's no reason to have people waiting a fucking hour then being lied to about where I am in line!!! I will never come back ! It's unsanitary and horrible service, there's no parking or anything!!! Just shut this place down, clearly just wasting people's time and money!

I was soooo looking forward this meal fried chicken and two sides . Friend chicken was not flavored well yams were great tho ! This was a late door dash so , it may had just been a ready to go box . I tried and supported once . Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy the meal . I'm also very very picky when it comes to soul food .

Whole turkey wings with rice, sweet potato souffle ring & MAC-N-CHEESE were all tasty as well as the chicken alfredo and blueberry cobbler. Grub Hub delivery driver was the only issue but SoulBox did a good job. Even down to the taped packaging. I will order again, probably direct from them to avoid delivery headaches.

SoulBox is remarkable. This place is awesome at what it does. They certainly have a superb menu also. Workers made sure every thing was fine. SoulBox is such a great addition to area.
