Souled Out Soul Food Cuisine - Flat Rock, Michigan

Bill F.

Wow. Just Wow. Didn't know what to expect when my wife and I went there, but came away knowing we'll be coming back (and have already told friends that live nearby they HAVE to go). We went in early (around 4ish) and got seated immediately. Claudia, our waitress, was fantastic and ran us thru all the things to know. We both played it safe for our first time and were really happy with the food quality! (Hint, we HATE tomatoes, but loved the Fried Green Tomatoes). The pulled pork mac n cheese was awesome and so was the shrimp and grits. My wife had a mojito as well and said it was one of the best she's ever had. Price is really consistent with the quality of food you get. Highly recommend this restaurant, it's a true gem and we'll be going back many times more.

Outstanding!!! When it comes to soul food... they do it right!
While staying at our friend's bed and breakfast, they suggested we eat there, which was located right down the street from their house. My wife and I appreciated the recommendation and drove over to eat dinner.
The building was nice, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. But the food was exceptional 😋 I had the pulled pork on mac and cheese. I had never had that combination before, but I made it work. The service was great and meeting the owners and their family was wonderful. Beautiful people making delicious food!
We are already an excuse to return to Flat Rock, Michigan, to experience this restaurant once again.

First and foremost, everyone here was so kind and so friendly! Kendall our server was very sweet! I do suggest making a reservation as they do get quite busy. The parking situation is a bit tight with small lots on either side of the building and a gravel driveway in front. The food was great very fresh and hot! The smoked wings, beef brisket, grilled salmon and collard greens were by far my fave, those greens were chef’s kiss! The cornbread did seem and bit dry and the macaroni and cheese needed a little “ooompf” so to speak, but wasn’t bad. The banana pudding was a bread pudding consistency which wasn’t for me so much, but my friends really enjoyed it. But, will definitely return and enjoy more menu items and the building itself was gorgeous! Cheers!

Our food was hot and delicious. We had the pulled pork sliders, brisket, greens, sweet corn, Mac n cheese, cornbread, fried Oreos and peach cobbler. The atmosphere was like nothing else downriver. We loved the look of the place! Very moody, beautiful dark green chairs and a beautiful bar. The natural lighting from all the windows was great. They also have a patio but we opted for inside since it was hot. We will be back.

Wanted to try something different downriver and found this little gem. I got the full rack of ribs and they didn't disappoint. The mac complimented them well. I couldn't get over how great the atmosphere was with the garage doors open and the view of the river. I'm excited to have a new spot to go on a Friday or Saturday and am sad I only recently learned about SOSFC because it would've been my go to spot over the summer.

This building sat empty for decades! It was a former water tower for the Ford Plant across the river.

This is located on the Huron River near the dam

There are two parts of the restaurant. The bar/ restaurant. Atmosphere is bright and rather loud. The other side, which is not air conditioned, has wooden beams on the ceiling, fans and beautifully overlooks the river.

We were so stuffed and didn’t even finish our meal!
Soul roll, Moe’s chicken with rice and beans, ribs and greens and fried green tomatoes.

Super nice owner and staff. They show great joy in what they do

Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I would suggest going early as they were getting more crowded later in the evening (Friday). Our server Leah was awesome. Catfish was good, fried to perfection. Fries were just ok, I would have preferred a thin cut style as opposed to steak fries. I would return and support; very appreciative of local owned businesses.

Great service. Beautifully decorated. Simple yet delicious and satisfying food.

Only issue can be parking on busy days. Cannot knock them for that. Certainly worth a little trouble.

Also recommend calling ahead. We’ve tried coming twice before and they were packed. Also helps because they have limited hours.
