These folks can cook. They catered a 30 person meal of beef tips, turkey, corn bread and rolls, green beans, peach cobbler,... candies yams and pound cake. The delivered and setup on time and all the food was tasty. Added a special treat with littlebubbly for birthday girl, There are also nice people. Sorry for no pictures but we dug in before I thought about it. Read more
Staff is very nice and friendly (5 stars) We ordered takeout. My favorite item was the cabbage. Hubby liked the black eyed peas... and Mac and cheese. They were seasoned well. The fried chicken was cooked well and crispy but very light on seasoning. Read more
The Mr. And I have been passing this place for months and I'm SO thankful we finally stopped in today. First off the place is... decorated beautifully, it's clean, pristine, and very warm and welcoming. You are greeted instantly by some lovely, beautiful,and kind women. They ask you if you're dining in or if it's to-go and they explain the process to glory. We decided to dine inafter seeing the beautifully prepared food in front of us, and we both opted for the pot roast and man was that a great choice.We both got mashed potatoes and I got collard greens and I have to say it's the best meal I've eaten in Destin in all 3 yearsof us living here. They explained several events coming this week all targeted towards helping people. You can FEEL the love inthat place and in every bite. I honestly don't know why you're still sitting there reading this when your bellies could be sohappily fed at this piece of souls heaven. I cannot wait to try other meals. We're currently racing home to devour this sweetpotato pie. Praise God for good food in Destin finally!!!! Great job Soul Bistro you won some loyal folks here. Read more
The WORST food I have had in a long time! The food is premade and sitting in metal pans under heat lamps. I guess the lamps are... just there so you can see the food because it is cold. They know it is cold, because they offer to microwave it for you in alittle microwave behind the counter. Once the food is warmed up in the microwave, you can now pay for your meal, $52 for the twoof us, we each had and meal and drink. The drinks are 20oz bottled soda. There is also a dessert counter with quite a fewoptions, I am not sure what is homemade but I saw a stickers from Walmart on the banana pudding and cobbler. This restaurantreally needs to rethink things, people don't want to eat things made in the morning or night before and have sat out all day.This restaurant should make food when you order it and get rid of the heat lamps and cold dried out food. Also, if you made thefood for each customer it would be reasonable to charge $25 a plate. If you choose to keep it like you have it, you shouldinvest in commercial grade food heating and make food fresh every hour or so. It is unacceptable to eat food in the afternoonthat has been there all day, as the young lady serving me stated. Soul Bistro please revisit your business plan. The idea isgreat the delivery is horrific. Read more
This place is awesome and a must visit if you like local, down home food cooked with love. Valerie and her team were super... friendly even though we showed up 30 minutes before closing time. Valerie explained the entire menu including the sides. Thechicken and smothered pork chop were great not to mention the sides - collard greens, black eyed peas, sweet potatoes, andregular mashed. If you want local, home cooked food this is your place. We loved it and will certainly return. Read more
I?m from southern Alabama. This did not meet my expectations as far as food. The chicken had no flavor, the peach cobbler was... not sweet and had a terrible dough like flavor, and the chocolate cake tasted as if it was store bought. I?m saddened andexpected better from a Soul food restaurant. However, the atmosphere was nice. We paid $60 for three meals, desserts, andbottled drinks. Read more
I typically don?t write reviews but this one was well deserved. Before I start my review I would like to just say to the person... that wrote that the food isn?t fresh probably never been to a traditional soul food restaurant. Let my baked make and cheese sitand soak up all the flavor. We i first walked in I was greeted with warm welcomes and kind service. I ordered catfish nuggets,crab cakes and chicken dinners. Seafood was fried fresh. Everything was excellent. Will defiantly be back for more! Read more
