The Soul Spot

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Hidden Gem That Feels Like Home!

Listen I originally walked in just for cornbread. I was in the area, looked the place up on Google, and thought I'd give it a try. The moment I saw the food, I started yelling to my friends (we were visiting from Toronto Canada) asking if they wanted anything because WOW. Every single bite was worth it.

The food felt like it came straight from my Jamaican family’s kitchen homemade, flavorful, and full of love. That cornbread? Easily the best I've had in YEARS. No joke. I even bought two extra pieces to save for later... but ended up eating them because everything was just that good.

I was so impressed I told my other friends staying at a different hotel to make the trip this place is worth it. Amazing food, great vibes, and warm service. Go support them you won’t regret it! Look at my pictures food sweet me bod bod I almost forgot to take a picture I had to play it off like I didn't touch the food 😅

Ordered for pickup because it said delivery, 5 blocks away to my hotel, was too far.

Food was done on time, but the lamb chop was the only thing that came out as expected. The black eyed peas with rice were more like Caribbean rice and peas vs the traditional style. It was hard to discern if it was in fact salmon in the croquettes because it was overpowered by sweet mashed potatoes. The jollof was okay but the stuffing tasted like they used the leftover cornbread, it was so sweet it could have been dessert.

It was just totally not the style I expected when it said "soul" because we don't even have the words to say what was wrong with the green beans but I miss seasonings and flavor.

This restaurant’s name speaks for itself-The Soul Spot- literally feeds your soul. Seldom do I come across a meal that feels like a hug to your soul. The smell alone made my mouth water! 10/10 from flavor to a HUGE portion size. The woman serving me was so sweet and explained every option to me.
Will be craving this place forever now!
Thank you!!

My first time here. I traveled from Suffolk County just to check out this place. The food is delicious. It was well worth the trip. I would recommend the spot to every. The food is good and the portions are sufficient. I had the turkey wings,  collard greens and Mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was priceless!!! The wings so soft the meat was falling off of the bone and the greens seasoned to perfection!

I stopped by The Soul Spot and tried the lamb ribs—and wow, they did not disappoint! The meat was tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. You could really taste the care that went into the cooking.

Service was super quick, even during a busy time, and the portion size was generous—more than enough to satisfy a hearty appetite. The atmosphere is casual and unpretentious, but the food speaks for itself.

If you're looking for comforting, soulful flavors with no fuss, The Soul Spot is a must-try. I'll definitely be coming back!

Sybil's

On behalf of The Center for the Women of New York, I want to extend our sincere gratitude to Sybil’s for their ongoing generosity and support of our Taste of the World at Fort Totten gala. Once again, they donated their delicious chicken patties, which have become a beloved staple at our event.

The chicken patties were perfectly seasoned, tender, and full of flavor. Their consistency and quality never disappoint, and it’s clear that Sybil’s takes great pride in their food. Our guests always look forward to enjoying these savory treats, and this year was no exception.

We deeply appreciate Sybil’s continued commitment to giving back to the community. It’s because of dedicated local businesses like theirs that we can raise essential funds to support women across New York. Their unwavering support makes a meaningful difference, and it’s why we’re proud to highlight and recommend them.

Thank you, Sybil’s, for your kindness, reliability, and outstanding contributions. We’re already looking forward to next year!

I came here for pattys and I was not disappointed with the food that I got. Everything was amazing and the prices were good for the items that I got. Service was top notch.. come before lunch time.

I’ve been going here for years, the food still tastes good. They just didn’t give that much food for the price I payed ($50). It was a pickup order so I assume that why they didn’t fill the bowls. It was still 2 and a half hours before closing so I don’t think that’s why the bowls were empty.

The food is AWESOME!! The shrimp patties are delicious and their desserts are out of this world. YOU MUST GO!! I am going back for more!!

The service here was very friendly and helpful. I’ve never had Guyanese food before and the woman behind the counter took time to recommend and explain a few things despite there being a decent amount of other customers. And of course the food was delicious. The Jamaican chicken patty was amazing, as was the Guyanese chicken patty. I also tried some sort of cheese quiche thing and it was excellent- recommended by the aforementioned friendly woman working there. Highly recommended!
