To write a review of Real Deal Soul Food would be somewhat akin to writing a review of your favorite Thanksgiving Feast cooked by your grandmother. There is something so qualitatively better about the food there than anywhere else, that it feels wrong rating it. It's like comparing the power of God to a sneeze.
When you order, don't be afraid of the things you have always been afraid of everywhere else because they remind you of school food-- such as salisbury steak and meatloaf-- because these are the best things on the menu. The flavor of everything is so rich that I imagine Paula Deen back in the kitchen saying "Are you sure you want to put THAT much butter in the gravy?"
On top of the amazing entree, before your meal they serve free corn-cakes that will fill you up. With the entree comes several sides-- green beans, mashed potatoes, and numerous other items-- that each taste like bacon. You can't beat that.
There is nothing wrong about this place, except for the small dining room and the hard-to-find location. If you can make it past that, you will be fine. This is one of those places that you don't want to go to that often, it is so good.
