Cheylas Southern Cuisine - Fairfield (CA)

4 /5 sidney laws: Staff is friendly, Tori was our waitress. She advised us that it was a 35 minute wait, although it turned out to be longer because there was a party of ten who got their order in after us as well as the couple sitting behind us. Its been 45 minutes and now our server said that they were going to plate it up. So well see how many more minutes that is. My wife got her food first and Im still waiting for mine, only arrived 5 minutes after .The cornbread was made with real cornmeal and was good. The best part of the meal was the fish, shrimp and oysters. Really good. We also got an order to go for the next days meal and the greens were really salty. I could not eat them. The oxtails were good but they forgot to put my rice that I ordered extra in the meal. Also the chicken was good but the sides were bland like the macaroni and cheese. No taste at all. You have to try it for yourself. However, we will not be going there again. We much prefer the old Che Soul and definitely love Aunt Bills which took over their location. Oh and I forgot the first order of my mac and cheese was cold so they had to take it back and give me a new one.

5 /5 Truth Unicorn: Great quality SoulFood in the Northern California Bay Area, near Travis AFB. I’ve been here a few times. After the first, I had to return another go and it didn’t disappoint. I believe It’s also black owned. The serving staff really impressed me with their courtesy and sense of urgency in serving me. It was packed when I visited because the food is that good. This is the real deal type of SoulFood. They go far above and beyond delivering excellent customer/food service. The quality of food is what I wanted and expected. I was completely satisfied with the service that I received here. It’s a nice family style/oriented setup and atmosphere. Will definitely come back and eat here again when/if I’m in the area. Love, Light, Peace, Blessings, Community

4 /5 Andrew Keel: Whenever there is something new I try to take the wife. The last time I was at this spot, it was Buffalo Wild Wings. The atmosphere is about the same, but the vibe has changed. They even have a female DJ spinning R&B.The restaurant is clean and the staff were courteous and very professional. Im sure our experience was not intentional but we showed up at about 5:15 PM. We ordered our food but due to two parties, one in the back and one on the patio, we sat for at least 1 hour and 30 minutes. It was about 11 of us in the main dining area and we all waited. We actually joked that we should have came early, so we could have shopped in the mall before it closed. When the food came, we enjoyed it but we were a bit discouraged. We both thought, they should have just told us in the beginning there would be a long wait so we could have came back on a better day and time.

5 /5 Stephanie Torres: Had dinner here last night. We showed up about an hour before closing and there was no wait. The service and food were excellent. I never leave reviews for restaurants, but I want this place to stick around for a long time. Loved the food, chicken was hot and juicy, waffle was perfect and all the sides we tried were good. No complaints at all. We left happy and full!

2 /5 K Anderson: There was an approximate 45 minute wait to be seated, upon being seated and placing my order...sadly it took nearly an hour to receive the food. The red beans & rice had a relatively small piece of sausage and a gigantic bowl of beans & rice. The beans seemed old as if they had been reheated multiple days. The greens and macaroni & cheese were both bland. The macaroni was hard in some bites. The greens had a good texture, werent over cooked just bland. The cornbread was a bit sweet for my taste. They have a large selection of desserts. The waitress was inattentive... They were also apparently running a day care in back for staff (not for real...), several times some of the kids escaped and it was a challenge to wrangle/catch the fun seeking toddlers. There were a lot of people in the restaurant perhaps because it was Friday evening and people were excited to try this version of the old Che Soul. Apparently this is the daughters restaurant. It appears that she needs help in the kitchen , the wait and bus staff were adequate. With all that said, I will try them again next month and give the new Entrepreneur another opportunity. BTW, its located at Solano Mall (or whatever they are calling it now) adjacent to Dicks Sporting Goods. Its the old Buffalo Wild Wings location.
