Food From The Soul, the family-owned soul food restaurant that first opened in 2023, has traded its snug takeout counter for a roomier home at 133 E. High St. in downtown Pottstown. The crew has closed the former location at 384 E. High St. while they get the new space ready for customers. Owner Treena Griffin says the move will make it possible to expand seating and add to the menu.
Owners Say They Outgrew the Old Space
According to What Now Philadelphia, the restaurant announced the change on Facebook, writing, "It is official. We are completely out of 384 E. High St." The post listed 133 E. High St. as the new address and named Treena Griffin as the owner. What Now Philadelphia also notes the shop first opened in 2023.
Renovations Underway; Opening Date Not Set
A local write-up found a Feb. 9 video of the new storefront being renovated and reports the owners have asked customers to "give us a few weeks" while touch-ups continue. Travels With The Post documented the build-out and says no official opening date has been announced. The new space should allow more dine-in service than the earlier takeout-focused layout.
Menu Favorites and Plans to Add Breakfast
The menu is built on family recipes and includes Aunt Sugar’s pork chops, jerk wings, oxtail, seafood and fried chicken, plus desserts such as strawberry cake, pineapple upside-down cake and banana pudding, according to What Now Philadelphia. That piece says the move will let the team expand offerings and introduce breakfast options once the new space opens. Regulars can likely expect familiar dishes to return alongside new morning items.
Where to Follow Updates
Guests can track the opening and any soft-launch plans on the restaurant’s site and social channels; see Food From The Soul's website for updates and photos from the build-out. The team has been using Facebook and Instagram to post progress while finishing the fit-out.
