I ordered Crab Rice Saturday Special with fried fish and Gail Sauce, the rice portion was awesome and flavorful, fried fish was so fresh and hot and the Gail sauce was like Polynasian sauce with some kick to it, it was perfect with the fish. Highly recommend this place, the best soul food in town!

I ordered Gail's Special Fried Chicken with collards and a large macaroni. Everything arrived hot and well packaged.As you can see the portions are good sized . Iwill have leftovers for tomorrow.🙂The chicken was hot, juicy, and crispy, with just the right amount of seasoning. I don't much care for collards because no one makes them like my momma did, but after reading some of the reviews, I decided to try them. They are so good. Seasoned well....as good as what mom made. The mac n cheese was very cheesy and melty....again like momma made. I have ordered from here several times and the food always tastes good. I highly recommend 👌

Gail's Special Fried Chicken - absolutely THE BEST Fried Chicken in Charleston. It arrived hot, with a crispy, well seasoned crust, and meat so tender and juicy - it was way beyond our expectations. Trust me, one bite, and you will eat all the chicken before you touch the rest of your food. It's that good. Unfortunately, can't say the same about the White Rice and Gravy , and the cabbage. Perhaps, they just weren't what I expected. I didn't care for either of them. BUT, Gail's Special Fried Chicken and the Mac and Cheese were so good that the rest didn't matter that much. We will definitely be ordering the Fried Chicken again. Next time, we'll select different sides. As for the Pineapple Pound Cake, I would have loved to review that, but it was somehow left off the order. Door Dash compensated us for the missing dessert. One last thing: the large portions are very generous.

Chicken was fantastic, nice and crispy and good flavor. cornbred was a little sweater than I like it but still good texture. mac and cheese was some of the bet i had in a long time, nicely seasoned and cheesy. Candied yamshsve good flavor, just wish they were a little more wet. Overall great place, food was hot well after pickup, 100% eat again

I ordered fried chicken, cabbage and mac n cheese. So good. Everything arrived hot and it was packaged well. The cabbage was the best I have ever had from a restaurant. The mac n cheese was like my momma used to make.The sauce they included was very good. A little spicy but not too much. It tasted like a blend of mustard and honey. I highly recommend Gail's Soul Food
