"This place is an absolute gem hidden in the County Courthouse on the ground floor. We were just driving through town for a quick trip and I seen this establishment on Google. I must say the reviews don't do this small family owned business justice. The staff are the most friendly and kind people we had the pleasure of encountering. The food itself is beyond words for how delicious everything was. I ordered the whiting fish sandwich with fries along with a side of Baked Mac and the banana pie pudding. Not a single item disappointed it actually blew my expectations out the water especially the baked Mac. Coming from down south it's been hard to find quality baked mac here in P.a and S. A. Soul Cafe did the thing felt like I was back south eating some homemade cheesy goodness. All in all S. A. Soul Cafe is in my personal opinion the absolute best Soul food you can find in the Harrisburg area. If you or anyone you know in the area is ever looking for quality homemade Southern style Soul Food this is the spot to go. P.s the food was to good to wait that's why half my sandwich is eaten 😋"

"A Hidden Gem in the Courthouse Halls – S.A. Soul Cafe Tucked inside the courthouse, where one expects nothing more than hurried sandwiches and lukewarm coffee, S.A. Soul Cafe is serving food that stops you in your tracks and reminds you what soul food is supposed to feel like. I ordered the fried fish plate with sides of sweet potato and macaroni & cheese, and from the first bite it was clear: this is cooking with love, intention, and zero shortcuts. The fish – impeccably fresh, lightly battered, and fried to a golden, greaseless crunch – arrived piping-hot, as if it had just whispered goodbye to the oil moments before reaching my tray. The flesh was sweet, flaky, and succulent; a quick dip in the tartar sauce or a swipe through their vibrant hot sauce elevated it to something borderline transcendent. The sweet potatoes were the definition of comfort: fork-tender, naturally sweet, with a whisper of cinnamon and brown-sugar butter that glazed rather than overwhelmed. And the mac & cheese – Lord have mercy – creamy without being gloopy, with a sharp cheddar backbone and a perfectly bronzed top layer that delivered that essential baked-cheese pull. Every component tasted like it was prepared the moment I ordered it, not sitting under a heat lamp praying for adoption. This isn’t cafeteria food; it’s grandmother-on-Sunday food, made by people who season with memory and pride. In a place where most would settle for “good enough,” S.A. Soul Cafe chooses excellence – and it shows in every bite. If you find yourself anywhere near the courthouse, do your taste buds (and your soul) a favor: skip the chains, bypass the vending machines, and treat yourself to a plate made with palpable care. You’ll leave fuller in every sense of the word. Highly recommended. I left with a full stomach and the distinct feeling I’d just been fed by family. I’ll be back the next time I’m summoned (jury duty or not.)"

"They make the empanadas from scratch after you order them. Absolutely delicious. I had the chicken, and the beef, and a mac and tenders plate. They should put mac and cheese in the empanadas. I'll be back"

"The food was pretty dope, not gonna lie. Audrey however, who I believe is the owner? Has a downright horrible attitude. From the time I’ve been there I’ve seen her treat her employees like complete trash. Really really weird behavior. Very strange. The food is good, but unfortunately not worth supporting this business because it’s clear her employees are suffering. Audrey, you reap what you sow. ♡ ♡ ♡"

"I absolutely love this place!! The food is always hot and delicious. The staff are warm and welcoming. Also love that they have healthy choices and salads. The atmosphere is also so homey. Lots to try and affordable :)"
