Pure Soul

If I could give this place more stars, I would. First, the atmosphere in the restaurant is so nice. There are plants and just fun details everywhere, and you can tell based on the products they use that they truly care about being sustainable. The staff are so nice. It was incredibly busy, like a 30 minute wait for food to come out. They still took the time to talk to customers, greet regulars, and just had a generally positive attitude. The customer service was awesome, and I overheard them offering drinks to people while they waited for their takeout orders. I could see them going the extra mile. The menu is fantastic, and as someone with celiac, I'm used to having only one, maybe two options. This place is allergen friendly heaven. They label the menu items with allergen warnings on the menu so you don't even have to ask, and clearly label any available swaps. The food is fantastic, and you get so much on your plate. And there are free drink refills, which isn't always the case for small, local spots! This place has automatically become my favorite restaurant. The two words that come to mind to describe it are delightful and delicious.

I am not vegan, however, I do eat gluten free and I was blown away by the food! I got the drumstix plate with cornbread and gf Mac. The drumsticks were so crispy and the cornbread was insane. The service was also wonderful! Highly recommend and will be coming back when I'm in NC again 😊

I ended up in the area to do a presentation and Pure Soul was recommended for a lunch spot. I will be back and bringing others! The (vegan) buffalo chicken sandwich can be ordered with a gluten free bun, so finding something delicious was easy for me and my needs.
