Urban Soul

G wanted to try this new soul food restaurant in Detroit, so we ventured to it.  It has a nice lounge looking feel about it.  It is a soul food restaurant that has all the classics (meatloaf, pork chops, fried chicken, etc).



G had the meatloaf with sweet potatoes and turnip greens.  I don't care for sweet potatoes, so I can't comment on them.  The meatloaf was just ok.  The greens were awesome.  They were definitely fresh and well seasoned.



I had the fried chicken.  I ordered the dark, which came with two legs and two thighs.  I took one  thigh home and discovered it was a breast.  The chicken was fried perfectly.  I had the mac n' cheese and the cornbread dressing.  yes, I had a lot of starches.  The mac n' cheese was great and the corn bread dressing was even better.  They put a brown gravy on it, which I would have preferred it to have been left off.  The corn bread dressing was so good that I ha to give G half so that he didn't have to order his own.  Extra sides were $3.69, so not cheap.  The meals were around $10, though and each came with two sides.



The restaurant is still new, so they do not have sweet tea yet.

They also had a list of desserts, so we had to try to carrot cake.  This cake was huge.  For only $4.99, it could easily serve 2 (maybe even 4).  We ate half and took half home.



This place is great.  I definitely would visit again.
