I decided to try here after my sister said she saw it on Tik Tok. I was unknowingly about 5 minutes away! Be aware the directions will take you to the food truck parked across the street but the restaurant is literally a cross the street :). I was greeted at the door and qas able to order at the register. I was helped by a very nice lady that provided recommendations. I got the turkey wings with yellow rice, mac n cheese and collard greens. Everything was seasoned perfectly and flavorful! The restaurant itself was clean, bustling and moving like clockwork. I would definitely be back to try their other selections.

My first time visiting this restaurant was awesome. The customer service was very fast, friendly and helpful. I waited less than 10 minutes for my food. Everything was very hot and fresh and full of flavor. Everyone in the facility was very busy but served Service with a smile. I also enjoyed having someone take my order while I waited in line because it made for speedier service. Thank you will definitely be back.

I really wanted to love this place, but it was just okay. I ordered the fish and shrimp dinner with two sides. The shrimp were fine, but the fish was dry and thin, not at all like what they show on TikTok. The cabbage was bland, but the yams were good. I also got a small side of chicken wings and those were excellent, perfectly seasoned and cooked. My husband had the jerk turkey wings with cabbage and yams. The turkey wings were tasty but not very hot, and again the cabbage was bland. The rice and gravy were very good. The restaurant is small and crowded, so we ate in the car. The cashier was friendly and helpful. Overall, the wings and rice were great, but the fish and cabbage were disappointing. I drove 45 minutes hoping for amazing food, so I was a bit let down. I would give it 3 stars and might try something different if I come back. Overpriced & overhyped.

I visited this restaurant for the first time during the Grand OPEN on Day #1 and let me tell you the D,Live Band, and Singers were amazing. The entertainment for sure made the 2hr wait worth it and the food was good too. The food did not disappoint so I can't wait to go back for seconds. If it wasn't chilly out I would have stayed and ate at the "cookout" If you are looking for soul food that reminds you of the best dishes from the family cookout then So Forking Good is a must try!!

My husband and I have been hearing so much hype about “Soul Forking Good” so we definitely had to try it. My husband had the fried whiting plate with Mac & cheese, yellow rice and collard greens. I had the turkey wings w/ yellow rice, Mac & cheese and cabbage, and an extra side of yams. The fish had such a nice taste 10/10, the collards he loved 10/10. We both agreed that the Mac & cheese was flavorless/bland, not what we expected 3/10. Rice was good 10/10. Cabbage were too large, seemed a little overcooked, not seasoned well 3/10. Yams were not sweet enough and were dry, it was just like eating a baked sweet potato lightly sweetened 5/10. Crumble cake- was decent not $7/slice worth 8/10. Overall food rating 7/10. Service was good 9/10; the atmosphere was extremely busy, crowded, limited space 6/10. We drove over 2hrs so I was definitely hoping to give this restaurant a 10/10, but I was expecting the food to be “to die for” so to speak. Wasn’t worth the drive, but because my husband and I like to travel it was ok. Maybe next time we try it, it’ll be a better experience and not as busy day.
