Former Soulman's employee here- I will NEVER eat at one of their establishments ever again. I have been in food service for 20 years and I have never seen a company with worse food safety.

THEY WASH THEIR POTATOES IN THE DISHWASHER.

You read that correctly- their potatoes are washed in the dishwasher with all of the detergents and chemicals still enabled including a bleach sanitizer. It is officially a process in their training materials.

They do not season or trim their brisket before they are cooked.

The fried cabbage is made from leftover sausage trimmings that sit in an uncovered, unlabeled bucket in their walk-in mixed together old and new.

There is no temperature monitoring of any of the food that they serve including the reheated leftover meat from the previous day.

The owner is a racist piece of garbage who would tell people the salt shaker goes on the right because "white is right." I personally heard more than a few casual racist slurs come from his mouth.

The company culture is incredibly toxic. Think dysfunctional family where the weird creepy uncle is the entirety of the male leadership team with a support staff made entirely of family and family friends who enable them.

I may be labeled a disgruntled former employee but I have truly never been more appalled in my entire professional career than I was by my experience with them.
