Extremely great customer service for my first visit to Uncle Willie’s Southern Bistro. Everyone was super welcoming and helped with any questions I had about the menu. Everything was cooked fresh to order, perfect crunch and nicely seasoned. The sides were also magnificent! I will be back soon!

Giving props to Uncle Willie Soul Food. I am happy to have another Black Owned business on the Northside. It is my pleasure to support. We must lift up each other, instead of knocking each other down. My experience was very pleasant. When you visit fast foods, you never get to meet nor talk with the Owner, nor even know their name. The Owner is welcoming to the good and not so good reviews. My experience was pleasant and warm . The atmosphere is calm and welcoming. My food choice was pork chop, butter beans, green beans and yellow rice. I was pleased and I am full. The price was normal for a resturant, with good food. I will definitely be a " Word of Mouth" of support. Help lift an African American Brother, if we don't who will. We shop at other Nationality store, and they won't give you a dime, and sometimes, awful service and we go right back to their store( Hair Depot and Nails Shops), so, maybe your first experience wasn't the best, try it again, instead of tearing down. I applaud Uncle Willie, for being a Entrepreneur and wish him the Best. Thank you Sir Rhonda ( pink and green hearts 💚 💕

Don't waste or time or money. I ordered the pig feet which was tough as leather, & the neck bones were white as a sheep meaning no seasoning

Mac and cheese was awful yams not good chicken wings had a red and yellow color I’m so disappointed over price

Respectfully Disappointed. Customer Service was great though. I’m thinking the gentleman that waited on me may have been the owner, who was friendly enough. I ordered about $60 worth of food. This was for two plates, a desert and potato salad. In comparison to other soul food restaurants around town, pricey on some items. Honestly I should have just drove the distance to another establishment, as I would not be hungry nor writing this review, but I decided to give them a try because their new, black owned, and want to be supportive and keep the dollars in our community. The meals weren’t seasoned and there was no amount of doctoring the food up that would make it truly palatable. The baked chicken was tender, the mac & cheese tasted like it was from a box just added some cheese to it and baked it, the cabbage was tender for the most part but not seasoned, and not sure what was going on with the rice (yellow & white) and or potatoes salad as it was the worst I have every tasted. Last but not least, no cornbread to go with greens/ cabbage, it was like a cornbread pancake. Now trust I have eaten them before because my grandmother would make them as a quick go to mix with greens these were disappointing as well, flat, bland, and greasy. I can’t tell you how to spend your hard earned dollars as your experience maybe the totally opposite of mine, but one thing for certain and two things for sure, as for me and my coins, well you get the picture.

I was really excited to try this new restaurant. However, the food was not good. I had the meat loaf in. I don't know what recipe is being used but it didn't even taste like real meat. The string beans tasted like they were all reheated. String.\nBeans, the cornbread was burnt.It's just nothing was good. I may give it another chance but I don't know.

I will return to give this place a second turn however,it's not very good. The green,we're not so good. I am not sure why the rice was so hard. The mac&Cheese was great the meat some of the ribs were hard and dry. The meat didn't really have a taste. When I return I will try something else.

The food that I ordered, and my sister was horrible. The macaroni and cheese was abysmal so you know everything else fell to the wayside. I do not recommend anyone to eat at this restaurant if you enjoy soul food!

Food is to salty I got home and got a headache I green beans was so salty. The rice was like old rice. ( very hard ) Like they mixed the old rice with fresh rice Now the meatloaf and turkey wings ,cornbread was good but the sides must not have all of that SALT IN IT

C
Cassandra Edwards

Absolutely not worth the $48 I spent. Turkey wings were unseasoned and very dry, I asked for gravy on my rice and didn’t receive any or if I did, it was very tasteless. The collard greens were very salty, Mac and cheese were horrible. The green beans were edible but won’t eat again. Wanted to try the bbq pig feet, but it definitely looked like reheated leftovers. For desert we had the tasteless, oily, strawberry cake. The strawberry icing was the only thing good about it. I will NOT recommend or return.
