The Soul Food Bistro is built on a foundation of family, tradition, and a deep commitment to the community. Inspired by the legacy of Mother Ruth George and the culinary expertise of Chef Dorothy Wagner, our restaurant is a celebration of Southern heritage and the power of food to bring people together. With over six decades of experience in the kitchen, we honor the recipes and flavors passed down through generations, ensuring every dish reflects the love and care that defines our family’s cooking.

As a family-owned, non-profit organization, we are dedicated to creating opportunities for growth and success within our community. Through job training, apprenticeships, and internships, we empower youth and young adults to build meaningful careers while fostering a sense of connection and purpose. At The Soul Food Bistro, we believe that good food and good company are the heart of every community, and we are proud to serve as a place where tradition, flavor, and opportunity come together.
