We have a number of emerging savory soul food eateries that won't disappoint when it comes to serving up the real deal in southern comfort foods.  While there are a good number of these eateries springing up in the area, these 7 standout as soul food places in Southeast Queens we feel confident suggesting to our readers.
  
1. Vibe Restaurant - This is a trendy attractive soul food spot on Liberty Avenue. We hope it becomes as well known as some of the Uptown and Brooklyn soul food restaurants.

It has a creative ambience and nice presentation of food with some artistic updated versions of traditional soul food staples.  Vibe is located at:

4. Burgundy Cafe - Is a small quaint soul food place with tasty soul food on Hillside Avenue near Parsons Blvd. It is small but we suspect they do a good delivery business because the food is very satisfying.

If you are around Jamaica Avenue, and want to get some good soul food, after shopping or cultural events, you have to checkout this compact soulfood enclave. It does have a few seats.  The food is good.


This spot just shows "good things really do come in small packages."  The address is: 153-35 Hillside Avenue, Jamaica, NY 11432. Call: (347) 475-0187 


5. Maxine's Takeout - This is a very good soul food spot.  And probably it is the go to takeout place for soul food in the St. Albans, Queens area.  It has a few places to sit but is primarily a takeout place.  We don't think they deliver even with Uber Eats yet.

You can call to find out.  They have a good deal with their 4 piece chicken dinners with two sides.  Also their chicken wings dishes are superb.  This is a great place to order.  Their address is: 
113-33 Farmers Blvd, St. Albans, NY 11412.  Call (718) 465-9812.



6. Austin's Nothing Fried - Is a healthy option on soul food that just opened up on Linden Blvd, in St. Albans.  They do soul food but without the frying.

It has a nice decor and seating for maybe a dozen people or more.  We like them because they offer us healthy options with soul food.  We wish them well. Their address is: 196-11 Linden Blvd, Jamaica, NY 11412.  Call:  (347) 894-9058



The Juice Bar at Vital Health Foods
7. Vital Health Foods (Juice Bar) -  This is our wild card on soul food.  It offers vegetarian spin offs on cultural dishes that are staples in the Caribbean, soul food, and classic American foods styles.

They have vegetarian burgers, fish, chicken and ribs vegan dishes and other healthy food choices.  If you are a vegetarian, vegan, or just healthy eater you have to try their juice bar stocked with nutritious foods and beverages.  For more info on Vital please Read our full review

Their address is: 196-14 Linden Blvd, Jamaica, NY 11412. Their phone number is: (718) 525-0992.
