What Tiffany Tucker doesn't like about Taste Of Soul:
Ordered food via door dash. One of my orders were not correct. Asked for rice with one of my orders and received fries. Fries didn?t taste good at all. Potato Salad is not good either. Fried fish is very bland! Food portions are very small. None of the food I ordered didn?t taste good to me at all. First and last time ordering! No hard feelings! Best of luck to this establishment! View all feedback. What Miriam Huertas likes about Taste Of Soul:
A Taste of Soul is a sweet little gem in downtown Allentown with great soul food in a homey, comfortable setting. Food takes a little longer, but the food is always worth the wait hot and delicious! View all feedback.

Taste of Soul offers a mixed dining experience, with patrons divided on the quality of its offerings. While some rave about its delightful soul food, highlighting crispy fish, tender smothered pork chops, and flavorful yams, others bemoan bland dishes and inconsistent flavors, particularly in staple items like fried chicken and mac and cheese. Regulars appreciate the warm atmosphere and friendly service, bolstered by community initiatives and Open Mic Nights, which enhance the local vibe. Despite some critiques, many consider it a go-to gem in downtown Allentown, eager for the comforting taste reminiscent of home cooking.

Taste of soul doesn't live up to its name. It lacks the LOVE and TASTE of the SOUL. I ordered the fried chicken platter, the Mac and cheese was bland and lacked...

Best soul food spot in Allentown, PA and in the Lehigh Valley! Great food and great people! All proceeds go towards helping the children at The Caring Place.
