Soul Fixins'

This is a great southern food hang out....we will be back soon

I love their meat loaf & potato salad.I do think the food was better in the the 90's. I will continue to get the meat loaf & potato salad

I ordered fried catfish, collard greens, and mashed potatoes with gravy. I received - breadcrumbed and baked catfish that taste like a horrible fish stick - soured tarter sauce that had turned into separated vinegar and yellowish oil - canned collard greens that were so vinegary I had to have my trash removed from my office cause the smell was overwhelming - box mashed potatoes and a side of canned chicken gravey. - cornbread that taste like a piece of yellow cake that was cooked too long. I can not believe this experience and how poor the food was. I am from Ohio and I could have made a better meal.

Soul Fixins is a great take out restaurant if you love good soul food. As hard as it is to find a great soul food place in the city to grab a meal, Soul Fixin's is definitely the anwer to this problem. I've been eating here for years since they were on 34th Street. Good to see they are continuing the trend!

I've never dined in this restaurant but I've had their delivery a number of times. They are always prompt and the order is always correct. Regarding their food. Their price is not only right but might be considered a steal with the portions. Excellent little splurge for lunchtime.

I tried Soul Fixins' for the first time today. I ordered the Fried Chicken with candied yams and mac n' cheese (my 2sides), red velvet cake, and iced tea. I enjoyed the chicken, candied yams, red velvet cake, and Iced Tea. The chicken was juicy, had lots of flavor, skin was crispy. The yams were sweet but not too sweet. I liked that they held their shape and were not mushy. The cake was moist. I loved the icing. The iced tea was refreshing. I did not like the Macaroni and Cheese or the Cornbread. The noodles were too soft for my taste and appeared not to be baked. The cornbread was hard some parts tasted burned and dry. All in all I would go back for the Fried Chicken but choose different sides and get the roll instead of cornbread.

My wife is from the South, so we are are constantly on the lookout for real Southern comfort food. Finding ourselves near Penn Station one evening we decided to try Soul Fix'ins. Arriving at night its location off Seventh Avenue was run down and unappealing. The "restaurant" is more like a take out joint with a few sad tables. The steam table in the back had the whole menu waiting and simmering in stainless steel. That evening the food looked like it had been simmering for hours. My wife, the near vegetarian, had only vegetable dishes. The collard greens were pretty good for greens simmering for hours. The okra was spicy and tasty, but overcooked. The rice and mac and cheese were nearly uneatable. I went for the classic, fried chicken. The chicken seemed to be prepared well but had also been sitting on the steam table for a few hours. The chicken was cold in the middle. My remaining vegetables were not worth mentioning. A positive note, the fellow behind the counter was very friendly. On the wall, were some rave magazine reviews from 1993 and 1994. Guess they're living on a very outdated reputation. We won't return.
