"10/10 Absolutely delicious! I’ve been searching for a really good soul food spot ever since I moved to Raleigh, and after trying a few places, Raleigh Soul is hands down my favorite! My daughter ordered the Sticky Ribs with mac and cheese and greens, and she loved the ribs! I stole a few bites of her greens and immediately asked for some because they were THAT good! 😂 I ordered the Fried Salmon Platter with mac and cheese, yams, and cabbage, plus the Honey Butter Cornbread. Every single thing was seasoned so well. The salmon was crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside, and absolutely delicious. The cabbage was full of flavor, the mac and cheese was creamy, the yams were sweet and perfectly cooked, and that honey butter cornbread was the perfect finishing touch. The portions were generous, everything tasted fresh, and you can tell the food is made with love. I’ll definitely be ordering again. Raleigh Soul has earned a loyal customer!"
"Gave me ALL drums. To add, they are salty as heck and barely have any sauce. Asked for peas and rice and they have us yellow rice. And I'm not sure they were running out of Mac and cheese or what but the amount they gave barely covered the bottom of the little compartment it was in. Meals definitely were t worth the price."

"mmmm those fries so yummy"
"No complaints on the food or the delivery driver. Everything on the order was delivered. The beef and fries were fresh, and an appropriate proportion of soda to ice ratio. I'd order again from this Wendy's. My only gripe is the value. It's almost too expensive for fast food, but I didn't bring lunch, and Wendy's was conveniently close by."

"I had very high hopes fo this place! Mushy peas- was so excited having missed them since going to London. Order arrived without mushy peas. Shrimp, cod, and catfish were a disappointment too. The batter was not thoroughly cooked and just slid off the seafood and was laden with grease. I MIGHT give them a try another time. The packaging of the meal was nice though, next time make the inside match"

"Our brownies were missing from the order. I called the store and the manager told me I could come and pick them up because he had no one to deliver them. He also said that he couldn't issue a refund because it was an online order. The bag had a sticker on it that said the order was checked for correctness, but clearly it wasn't. I am disappointed in Firehouse Subs and I order from there frequently. "
