Customer Reviews

We were on a visit from New York and visited Tae's Soul Food on Sunday, August 10th. I had already did the search for Black Owned Business where we could get some down home cooking when we arrived. Tae's hit the spot. I had my whiting fish with Mac & cheese, while my family had the catfish with the collards, string beans and other side orders. As I said; it hit the spot and everyone was full and satisfied. The staff were tolerant as we all fiddled around with placing our orders. Finally, we got that off the ground and the food was served. We even got to meet the cook. We left Lawrence, VA. early Tuesday so we didn't have the.chance to revisit but we are certainly coming back for another home cooked meal. The Bishop-Evans family and Runako- Gamba 1st of "Buy Black Campaign" thank you all for a delicious meal, great customer service, and a very cozy environment to enjoy it in. Sorry so long, but I had to speak strong... You all Stay Well until we meet again.

So my husband and I hit the road and ended up at Tae's restaurant on June 5th 2025. The restaurant was clean and quaint...nice atmosphere . We ordered our food, I had the catfish, baked mac and collard greens with a piece of cornbread. He had whiting, potato salad( It taste like home) and string beans. The food was delicious, I was very impressed. I/we would definitely make it one of our stops traveling from up north back down south.

Some of the best soul food, and best food in general I've had. The staff is very friendly, accommodating, and we even had a chance to meet the owner. We came in with a big party of 12 people and they were awesome. Food was so flavorful and fresh. I had the fried whiting, with cabbage and black eyed peas. My wife had the chicken, greens and Mac n cheese. Even my 3 year old daughter couldn't stop eating my wife's greens and she's such a picky eater. We will certainly be back again and recommend this place to all foodies that want to know what real authentic soul food taste like.
