Stone Mountain Restaurant Guide

We Got Soul sits in a strip-center storefront on Stone Mountain Highway, the U.S. 78 stretch east of I-285 where Stone Mountain bleeds out of Tucker and into Gwinnett. EatOkra lists it as a Black-owned soul food kitchen, and a 2016 Hungry Black Man review identified the owner as Ms. Cola, who greeted the writer at the door. Reviewers describe the room as small and family-feel rather than dressed-up — a counter-and-tables soul food spot rather than a sit-down occasion restaurant. The menu does the soul-food-plate-lunch math: a meat plus two sides, with the meats covering fried chicken, fried turkey wings, and fried catfish, and the sides running through mac and cheese, fried green tomatoes, collards, and yams. The Hungry Black Man review specifically flagged that vegetables here are not seasoned with meat, which is a worth-knowing detail — soul food kitchens that go meat-free on the sides aren't the default. Tripadvisor reviewers cite the mac and cheese, fried green tomatoes, and the fried turkey wing as the orders that come up most often, with sweet tea and lemonade as the standard beverage pairing. The kitchen runs Tuesday through Saturday 11 AM to 8 PM and Sunday 11 AM to 6 PM, closed Mondays — a Sunday-soul-food schedule that matches the after-church lunch traffic pattern most kitchens like this depend on.
