Shut Yo Mouf Soulfood - Soul food restaurant in Petersburg - 424 N Market St, USA

Shut Yo Mouf Soulfood! Everyone's experience is different but, baby this food was everything. I mean everything! The hostess promptly greeted and seated us. Jessica the waitress was pleasant and knowledgeable. The restaurant itself was nice. The FOOD! The food was delicious and plentiful. I have enough for leftovers. This was a wonderful meal for my mother's birthday and she loved the food. We will definitely return.

We are from Chicago dropping our daughter off to begin her freshman year at VSU. The food was excellent as was the service and the Arthur Ashe was soooo delicious! The lemon cake was a disappointment...seems store bought....but the food was so good! Fair warning....the chicken and waffles came with tenders not whole pieces of chicken.

I was with a with of group of ladies that sopped in during lunch as part of a Birthday Celebration 🎉. We were greeted by the owner very sweet lady. Our server was Jessica. She promptly got our orders! Food came out hot and well seasoned. Reminded me of home. I got the SYM Wing dinner 🤗😋. Oh I forgot about the cornbread 🫶😋. I will definitely be coming back.

This place was such an amazing experience & family friendly as well ! I had went here for my best friend’s graduation dinner & she was telling me how the food here is amazing so she recommended us & her family to try this place out after her graduation ceremony was over. The food was freshly cooked , you can tell that they do it with love & well seasoned. The prices does match the amount of food that you’re getting & it’s very reasonable. The owner checked up on us making sure we are satisfied which we appreciate that & the staff was very friendly as well acknowledging all of us . Right across the restaurant was a mural with boats which you can take pics as well :) To the staff: keep it up, love the environment & how freshly the food is & authentic.

We stumbled upon this restaurant last minute and decided to visit because we wanted some soul food (and because of the Google reviews already posted) and baby Shut Yo Mouf delivered some of the best soul food that I've tasted (aside from my own) in the Tri City, VA area. Here is what I experienced The restaurant is filled with tchotchkes and the sound of r&b music. It's like having dinner at your favorite great auntie's house. We (a part of 4) got there about 2 hours before closing and were seated within 15 minutes of arriving. The greeter/waiter was very nice and accommodating. The food came out HOT and delicious. I originally ordered yams and macaroni and cheese with my fish but they ran out of yams which tells me that the yams are either THE BOMB or they didn't make enough to last the full day. Nevertheless I forged forward and ordered the cabbage. Y'all the cabbage was sooo yummy but macaroni and cheese was just okay. It was cheesy and had a decent flavor but, it wasn't that southern macaroni and cheese baked in the oven that comes out with a little bit of charred cheese on top!!! Y'all know what I'm talking about 🤤! Anyway the CORN BREAD.... OOOOH MY GOODNESS! The cook understood the assignment oh yes they did! Absolutely delicious. Lastly this restaurant is affordable. My dish was less than $20 and the portions are satisfying. One thing to keep in mind as with some other local restaurants they do charge an automatic 18% for dine-in service but the customer service is on period so its warranted. I plan on visiting again.

The server, Ms. Jay was AMAZING. The owner was so very helpful and answered all our questions. The room was clean and bright, and the server was always on time when we needed her. It’s a family owned business. Nothing but great energy an great food. I had to make sure I got an extra plate to go. We will be coming back!”

The best BBQ pork ribs EVER! Melt in your mouf! Fall off the bone! Their homemade BBQ sauce is sweet & thick! Really sweet & cinnamon-y yams….more like a dessert, totally addictive! Great mac & cheese too!!!!

Everything was very good. It was seasoned and cooked well. The only issue that I had, (and that's a very small issue) was that the collards were still a little chewy. I like my greens a little more tender. But the flavor was very good. I ordered chicken wings, mac n cheese,collards, and I got a extra side of yams, and cabbage. Oh, and the cornbread 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾.I give the meal a 4/5 stars. This was my first time eating here, but definitely not my last.. Next time I will try to eat at the restaurant instead of delivery.
