Taste Of Soul - DeLand

We absolutely love this place is. The food taste delicious and they are very reasonably priced. Clean, sanitized and peaceful environment. They make wonderful cake and cornbread as well. Management are very pleasant.

After a recent delightful trip to Blue Spring State Park, my girlfriend and I decided to visit nearby Taste of Soul for what we hoped would be a delicious take out meal. Upon further review and in our opinion, Taste of Soul certainly lives up to its name! She ordered the shrimp and fries, with sides of macaroni and cheese grits, while I ordered the fish, shrimp and fries with a side of mac and cheese and a drink. While briefly waiting in store for our meals to be ready, I tried some of their Party Punch and am delighted I did! Reminiscent of Kool Aid, it was potent and had great flavor a little bit surely goes a long way! Upon receiving our meals, we dug in and were truly impressed! The shrimp and fish were both nicely but not over breaded, perfectly fried to a golden brown, and the meat was fresh, tender and plump. The fries were decent (crinkle cuts are always fantastic), but easily upstaged by the deliciousness of the mac and cheese and cheese grit sides. The restaurant staff all were polite, engaging, and full of smiles and laughter! We greatly look forward to returning to Taste of Soul in the future!

I don't even know what to say! You walk in and it is always a positive experience, VERY well kept, and the owner is always interacting with her patrons. The people are simply AMAZING and the food will make your tongue beat your teeth up to get a bite. Never walk in and assume you can share a meal, because once you taste it, you won't let anyone else touch it. This place deserves 10 stars. DeLand loves you, keep up the amazing work!

I have been wanting to visit "Taste of Soul" for a while now, and it was definitely worth the wait. Every bite felt like a homemade meal packed with flavor! It's a great spot with friendly people serving delicious soul food. We tried the fried chicken, cheese grits, and macaroni and cheese, as well as the neck bones over rice, baked beans, and more macaroni and cheese. We will definitely be returning to try more dishes!

I don't even know where to begin! Every time I go there, it's always a fantastic experience. The restaurant is well-maintained, and the owner is always engaging with customers. The staff are incredible, and the food is absolutely delicious. Never underestimate their portions - you won't be able to finish it all! This place definitely deserves a 10-star rating. Deland residents, you're lucky to have such an amazing restaurant in your area. Keep up the fantastic work!
