"Wing sauce was really good"
Try the golden wings.
The food was fantastic and the servers were really nice. I got the regular Soul Rolls (no meat) and it's not an overstatement to say they're a full meal in one. Macaroni, greens, and black eye peas, they even hit a dessert note with some nice sweet yam in there. And the sauce they come with is just spicy enough to round the full thing out for a very satisfying meal.
