For help deciding, I’ll point you in the right direction. I went with the Ribs, a thigh, a drumstick, candied yams, and fries…

First, a closer look at the ribs and fried chicken and then the review…

The Ribs were good but not amazing. King of Ketchup begged to differ, he thought they were better than Georgia’s Eastside BBQ. I wholeheartedly disagree.

Here’s the NYC Food Guy rib review:

• The overall flavor was sweet and smoky but the flavor of the pork really shone through. If you like to taste the meat of the ribs, don’t add extra sauce, but if you want to unite the outer flavor with the pork, add some extra sauce.
• They were tender and moist but didn’t fall right off the bone
• The outer skin was a little tighter and crisper than I like

The Fried Chicken was good overall but while I admit my expectations were high, it was not a transcendent experience.

• The outer coating was crispy and light without being overly greasy.
• The coating, however, was nothing out of the ordinary. It didn’t seem to be a product of extra care or a unique process.
• The meat inside was moist, tender, and flavorful

Here’s the rest of the meal…

Sweet candied Yams – very sweet, soft, and delicious

Macaroni & Cheese – It really was this orange and it was pretty soggy and boring. Always an enticing option, it fell flat.

Waffle with Syrup – my first Waffle and chicken experience was boring at best. The waffle and syrup were generic and ordinary.

French Fries – Shoestring, crispy, and hot. I added some salt and pepper and found myself reaching onto King of Ketchup’s plate for more after I finished mine. Great fries.

Honey Buscuits – These are complementary and served upon arrival. They were warm and tasty. We asked for butter and dipped it in the sweet barbecue sauce. Good move.

Overall, I had a great meal at Rack and Soul. It was fresh, affordable, and big portioned. The service was attentive and I will definitely return to try the pulled pork.
