Today is "Soul Food Sundays" at the Southeast Queens Scoop. This is an update and remix on an article we did about 3 months back. Southeast Queens, restaurants are starting to come on strong. While Harlem is known for it's outstanding soul food restaurants like Amy Ruth's, Chocolat, Mintons, and the legendary Silvias - Southeast Queens is no slouch when it comes to ethnic cuisine and cultural culinary arts.
We have a number of emerging savory soul food eateries that won't disappoint when it comes to serving up the real deal in southern comfort foods. While there are a good number of these eateries springing up in the area, these 7 standout as soul food places in Southeast Queens we feel confident suggesting to our readers.
1. Vibe Restaurant - This is a trendy attractive soul food spot on Liberty Avenue. We hope it becomes as well known as some of the Uptown and Brooklyn soul food restaurants. It is the closest thing to the highly respected soul food restaurants in Harlem.
It has a creative ambience and nice presentation of food with some artistic updated versions of traditional soul food staples. The food at Vibe is really tasty and it is definitely worth visiting to dine or have receptions. Vibe is located at: 143-06 Liberty Ave, Jamaica, NY 11435. To checkout their website is click here .

They can fry chicken that is also juicy and very tasty. The BBQ chicken is the best I've tasted in a soul food restaurant.
Their Corn, Okra, and Tomato gumbo dish is also very tasty although on the sweet side as are the candied yams. They have an attractive restaurant and catering hall that you can bring family members and business clients.
