This place is a hidden gem. The food was excellent. I brought my Mom here to celebrate her birthday and had a reservation for 35 people. There was a long wait time for some due to the large group. There was a mishap with 2 orders and the orders had to be put back in the system. So they never got their food in time & ended up getting it to go but my cousins were chill about it. We ordered turkey wings, shrimp, SYM platter that comes with fish, chicken, & shrimp, liver & onions, hamburger with gravy, pork chops, & chicken & waffles. Everything was delicious, including the sides! Our waitresses were very professional. The owner was there and helped bring out the food. All around, it was a very nice experience for our first time. My family enjoyed themselves & the food. We will be coming back!

Absolutely delicious!!! I loved everything about this place, the atmosphere, service, location, parking, owner, food, did I say food? I found this place on a Google search and it did not disappoint! I asked them if my momma was back in the kitchen because she can throw down, and it reminded me of her cooking. The server laughed! I cannot say enough about "Shut Yo Mouf Soulfood."

Food was okay; disappointed in overall experience. A mop and bucket was being used close to where we were eating. That’s not appropriate for folks dining there. Building on outside was nice, but once I stepped inside, I was so disappointed. Not the best birthday dinner. Not enough staff even though there weren’t many diners there at all. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all.

First off, we got there and they advise me they were not using or taking the reservations. Something they had decided a week or two prior to 5/14. Well I booked my reservations back in April around 4/17, and to be told the day of after traveling there that my reservation was not going to be honored was completely unprofessional to say the least. Other members of my party decided it would be okay to wait what we thought would be 20 mins, was more like 40+. It was Mother's Day and the vote was to make the most of it. Lesson learned, they ran out of real plates used paper, out lemonade, tea was nasty (distasteful). I basically could only eat one thing the Mac. Others in my party ate what they could after the drive to the restaurant, and we made it more about spending time together instead of a great choice in restaurant and good food. Bad choice, NEVER again.

Highly recommend Shut Yo Mouf Soulfood restaurant!!! Not only was the food delicious and homemade, but the friendliness of the staff was AMAZING! They were so friendly and accommodating to us. We drove 2 1/2 hours to meet friends there for lunch. It was our first time in Petersburg and the people were very welcoming. I would recommend Shut Yo Mouf Soulfood to everyone!

Atmosphere and food was good. Buffets are expensive when you only go up once so appreciated knowing I can use to go container to weigh and pay. Try and include a price with dessert. Was celebrating my birthday but didn’t want to have friends pay more for dessert. Staff was great.

The food was absolutely awesome. My mom said the liver was the most tender ever and the cabbage reminded her of when she was a child. The fish was good the collard was excellent but the mac & cheese was a little dry but the experience and pricing was great. We are going back again.

The food was sugared down. There seemed to be sugar in the greens, sugar in the pepper steak, the tea was X-tea sweet, and the corn bread was like cake. It was just too much sugar being used.

As we returned from a wedding, we uncovered a unique jewel in the old city area of Petersburg. A dining experience made memorable because of the personal family touch each patron receives. The down home cuisine is tasty, satisfying, well portioned, and as special as the generational recipes that guide the preparation. Shut Yo Mouf is a must stop venue for anyone searching for authentic soul food that is cooked and served with genuine warmth by the family owners...satisfaction guaranteed with true value for money!
