A Taste Of Soul By Biggie - Soul food restaurant in Ypsilanti - 1004 W Michigan Ave, USA

Baby this is my first time and let me tell you so so good! My heart and stomach are definitely smiling. The fried turkey chops are so seasoned and tender. Everything was excellent and worth the wait.

We went here due to the rave reviews posted on different sites. But it seems Michigan’s soul food taste is not southern. I prefer real down south southern flavors. The baked beans were great. The catfish was very good. The green beans and collard greens were very bad. The spice used in these was very overpowering, kinda tasted like coriander or nutmeg… something that didnt taste good. The gravy on the potatoes was cold and one big lump, when i heated them they still were not good. The peach cobbler had way too much cinnamon and nutmeg. I could not eat it. However Biggie was kind, nice and very courteous. I wanted to write a 5 star review because he was so very nice, but I am writing an honest review. Oh the pig feet were not bad… nicely seasoned tender. The mac and cheese was good, on the same level of Cracker Barrel’s.

Straight to the point...Catfish was over seasoned, too salty! Corn bread was dry. Chicken wings seemed overcooked. The greens need help. The taste was horrible. I am just being honest. The sweet potatoes, some of them were sweet and some were not. 2 STARS 🌟

I got the baked chicken, mashed potatoes and fried okra and my wife got the catfish, candied yams and coleslaw. Everything was amazing and has lots of flavor. The service was also good, it was just the one guy doing everything himself so it was a little wait but it's 100% worth it. It's nice to have a great small business so close by.

My baked chicken was OK way too much season on it. My lemon pound cake was dry and hard. Pink lemonade was good. My sweet potatoes were OK. My dressing didn't taste like dressing. 😕 the greens were horrible taste like can greens with no taste

The ribs were so good! I loved the two sides I got as well (fried okra and greens). My friend's smothered porkchop was delicious too. I am definitely going to come back to try other items on menu. The dining area is small though and since the order might take some time, I recommend calling ahead.

Make no mistake about it. The food is good! It epitomizes African American culture at the dinner table; Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter Sundays, etc. (Old school). My only grievance? It takes "Biggie" too long to fill an order. Seriously, don't arrive hungry, or you'll "starve to death" waiting on your food. The operation could be more efficient. Is it worth the wait? I think so, but you be the judge. "Oh taste and see!"

The food was well worth the wait. I had the two meat combo with rib tips and catfish, sides mac n cheese and collards. The beverage I had was a big 32 oz of red kool-aid. Me being a foodie the ribs were not baked they were made on the charcoal grill, the mac n cheese were home made as well as the catfish and cornbread. The greens were good but my least favorite of all the items I had, they had a can taste to them. Overall with wait for the food I give them ⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. My brutality honest evaluation of the restaurant a little small for a group of 5 or more take out would be a better option. Price was not bad for the quality of food that you get. I'm a big eater and my tray was enough for two days.
