    This was not a good dinning experience. The waiter was terrible. She never came and checked to see if we needed anything after our food was brought to our table. We had to keep asking other waiters for things like forks and more water. We then waited an hour for our check. We asked multiple times for the check. It then took 30 mins for us to pay because the machine wasn’t working. The food was good but the service was terrible.

    This was my families 1st time. We were celebrating my mother’s birthday. We LOVED the service and interaction with us from the staff. The food was amazing and we had plenty for leftovers too! We will certainly return!

    I was really impressed with the cozy, inviting atmosphere. To start, I ordered the salmon bites appetizer. The flavor was enjoyable, though I feel a little more sauce would really make it stand out. One small note: it tasted as though the salmon might have been fried in the same oil as catfish, so perhaps separate oil could improve the flavor. For the main course, I had the surf and turf pasta, which included lollipop lamb chops and shrimp. The combination was delicious, but the dish was served lukewarm, which detracted slightly from the experience. It would have been even better if it arrived at the table piping hot. Overall, I had a good experience, and with just a few tweaks, this could be a standout dining spot. I’d recommend giving Soule'a try!”

    The catfish was just entirely too salty. I really wanted to like it but my fish and grits was so salty I couldn’t eat it. I ate my appetizer the fried green tomatoes were good but I wasn’t a huge fan of the sauce either.

    It was an experience here. Food was great. My only suggestion is to have some diet soda pop.
