Soul
The food at this tiny, mother-daughter spot too often is neither soulful nor Creole, but overseasoned and off the mark.
By Craig LaBan, Inquirer Restaurant Critic
Craig LaBan: I didn't blink when Samantha Johnson and her mother, chef Angiebrown, told me that their new Chestnut Hill BYOB, Soul, was absolutely, definitely not a soul-food restaurant.

Indeed, the food at this tiny, mother-daughter spot too often is neither soulful nor Creole, but overseasoned and off the mark. » Read more

Not again
This woman has single handedly ruined mt. airy first by buying the ever popular Goat Hollow and turning it into...well nothing...and now another restaurant with bad food and horrible service - ugh!!

Not again is right!
You said it. This is I believe the third time Ms. Brown has ruined a NW landmark. They are also awful host and very rude. Goat Hollow while not gourmet food, was the best bar in Mt. Airy and always a great spot to drop by. Angie Brown's was the worst. Open a chicken shack in N. Philly and stop pretending you know how to cook, esp. Cajun and Creole food. Uuuuuggggggghhhhhh

Bad food, bad service
Paul, you are grossly mistaken if you think the BYO scene here in Philly is represented by this poor example. There are plenty of restaurants here that are BYO that also serve excellent food. I suggest you do some research before you make such an assumption. Oh and by the way, BYO does not refer to wine only. Can a new review be posted soon? I am sick of looking at this review.
