I decided to try here after my sister said she saw it on Tik Tok. I was unknowingly about 5 minutes away! Be aware the directions will take you to the food truck parked across the street but the restaurant is literally a cross the street :). I was greeted at the door and qas able to order at the register. I was helped by a very nice lady that provided recommendations. I got the turkey wings with yellow rice, mac n cheese and collard greens. Everything was seasoned perfectly and flavorful! The restaurant itself was clean, bustling and moving like clockwork. I would definitely be back to try their other selections.

This was my 2nd time eating here and it was just as good as the first time. We ordered online and when we arrived it was already ready to go. Very quick process, everyone is friendly and greets you when you walk in the door. We ordered pork chop with Mac n cheese and green beans. Catfish with Mac n cheese and collards. Portions are great and it was absolutely delicious 😋. Try the strawberry peach lemonade as well!

This was my first visit to this restaurant, and I was unaware that it was not the traditional sit-down type. The menu offered a variety of options, with the candied yams looking really good. I chose the pork chops, candied yams, and macaroni and cheese. My mother selected the turkey wings, collard greens, and macaroni and cheese, while my cousin opted for the fish and candied yams.
The serving sizes were unexpectedly large, and the candied yams were every bit as delicious as I had expected. The food was superb. I was so impressed that I requested the hotel to package my leftovers, which I then took with me on my return flight home.
I didn't think to take photos until after we began to eat. -
The food was amazing. I felt like I was back home in DC eat mg chicken wings w/ mumbo sauce and also eating my mom's soul food. Definitely will be coming back to try everything. They had the good music playing like one big family affair. Can't wait to come back.

Soul food here in the Triangle is so hit or miss but Durham seems to have established themselves as the Soul Food Mecca of the Triangle.
That being said Soul Forking Good may be the pinnacle of those establishments.
I knew the food has to be good from the line literally wrapped around the building when I entered their parking lot and it did not disappoint.
There was a bit of aversion upon looking at the menu and realizing to have what I thought was quality portions I was going to be paying almost $90 dollars to feed my family of three if I was feeding us all from the establishment that day but upon ordering a three piece catfish plate I quickly realized the error of my ways.
At a nearly $30 price point I was initially repulsed and prepared to have a fit if I received 3 little fillets and a mountain of fries to try to justify the expense but what I got quickly made me realize this place didn't skimp like others do.
The fillets looked like that had been carved off a 40lb fish and the fries were seasoned to perfection. I also loved that this establishment believes in seasoning the fish as well as the batter and that makes a huge difference in flavor profile.
This place is truly one of the best establishments for soul food and worth the wait.
