Blue Soul Restaurant

This is definitely a hole in the wall but the food is decent, nothing to write home about. I may stop here once per month before work.
The food is never ready when I arrive. This past Friday, not only was my food not ready, I couldn’t pay for it because the cashier was on the phone gossiping and the credit card machine needs the phone to process. Needless to say, the other cashier gave me my food for free. It’s a damn shame the owner loss money because an employee was on a personal call, a damn shame.
My go to’s are the salmon croquettes and sausage egg sandwich.

I honestly can say I being there twice and I really enjoyed the chicken and waffles the first time I was there and the second I ordered a Denver omellete and it was good along with the potatoes and waffles. They were pretty good towards me no attitude or nasty disposition and I really think they really like to make sure are very much sastified.

My partner & I was ravenous & needed breakfast! We stopped in b/​c I had a hankering for a southern style breakfast. Blue Soul reminds me of the Snackin’ Shack restaurant featured on In Living Color. The food was okay but the fact that I had to wait over 40 mins for eggs, French toast, salmon croquettes & potatoes killed the whole vibe. And speaking of potatoes… I don’t know about you but when a breakfast restaurant offers me potatoes with my food, I’m thinking along the lines of hash brown style. Not the boiled foolishness that was served to me. I still have 2 stars b/​c the eggs, salmon & French toast was okay & cheap. I wouldn’t choose to stop here in the future, but I can eat here again if we «have» to. Also we ordered some of the chicken & it was completely tasteless. There wasn’t a pinch of seasoning on the chicken.

Worst place to try to place an order by phone. Rude and uncaring staff, particularly the woman who takes your order. Food is not good. Ordered hashbrown and received boiled potatoes. My sister asked for scrambled eggs and got God knows what.
Sucks!!!

The waffle was nice. The seasoning in the chicken was nice but, I somerhing else was wrong with that chicken, it didn’t taste fresh. The atmosphere I liked small and cozy. However, the customer service was severely lacking. One of the waitress’ took offense to a customer asking for the bill and bellowed «pay your bills at the counter!» Now, it rubbed me the wrong way cause the person asking that was an elderly woman. Not to mention the fact that she proceeded to prattle on bout how customer oughta appreciate their waitresses for one reason or another. My thought was hello you’re getting paid for a Service! How about being professional? Then she proceeded to ask me «how’s your coffee… I think it’s pretty weak myself! «So, why did you serve me this then. I’d like to tell this «waitress» the attitude you direct at ppl is the reaction you will receive… oh and consider, the person you’re being rude too… frequents Unilocal!I’ll never patronize this restaurant again !!

Food is a little inconsistent. I’ve had mediocre to great. That’s in a span of two days. When they are on, it’s great food … when they aren’t, it’s usually food that has sat too long (most of menu pre-​cooked) or the server for the day.
I think Blue Soul should have WAY more customers, however, The food warrants it and food items wouldn’t sit so long. I understand why items are pre-​cooked, however, due to lack of business … I wonder just how many days it may sit?!

Did not like it too bland not enough seasonings:+(

You know those fats people are always trying to outlaw? They make that here! It’s all up in the fried chicken, whipped into the waffle batter, and some of it was on the sticky plastic tablecloth still when I went to sit down.
Awesome!
Lunch for two was about $ 16 and I thought their portions were plenty big. Their fried chicken was pretty decent, but I fear it IS fried in lard… and I fear I might eat it again, even though I fear this… I fear… The waffles were superb — larger than a Belgium, but similar in shape, but soft with slightly crispy edges — absolutely delicious. And no need at all to add butter to it — for godsakes DON’T add butter to it!
The décor is rough around the edges, but relaxed — tiny flat screen TV playing ESPN classic, a worker’s little kids hanging out, plasticy table cloths, mostly people coming in and out for take-​out. Service is a little bit slow, but very warm. And the Hungry Hound’s mug is all framed and mounted on the wall already, so take that for what it’s worth to you.
I’d probably be more likely to go back for two (or three) waffles instead of the chicken and waffles together here. I didn’t like the mac and cheese or the greens very much, so when a place says they make chicken and waffles, like this one does on the window — just believe them and get that.

I really liked the chicken and waffle. The chicken was seasoned well and fried nice crispy.
The waffle was soft and cake like.
I do like that they have pepper vinegar for green, always a plus for me.

I’ve gone here quite a few times and I can say the food here is fairly good.
The fried chicken and waffle is decent. The waffle itself was a bit thin and too soft. I thought it would be better if it were a bit crispier.
The breakfast food is pretty good. The eggs and potatoes are tasty.
The dinner I had was great too. The mac and cheese, baked chicken, and green beans were delicious. My only gripe here is the portion size. They’re too small. You get maybe ¼ cup of mac and cheese or greens and even less of the dressing. The server asked me if I wanted cranberry sauce with my dressing. I said yes. Those small plastic lidded cups that hold whipped butter, hot sauce, barbecue sauce etc that restaurants give you? The cups they put samples in at the grocery store? That’s what they gave me the cranberry sauce in! It was basically no more than a teaspoon full. I really wish they weren’t so stingy with the portions.
