Soul Out Kitchen, a new food truck promising country-style soul food, is gearing up for a spring debut on Jacksonville’s Southside at 2056 Emerson St. The co-owners are eyeing an April 1 opening and plan to roll out fried chicken, pork chops, fish, BBQ ribs, burgers and classic Southern sides. On deck: collard greens, mashed potatoes, baked beans, sweet potatoes, corn and potato salad, along with lemonade, sweet tea and other soft drinks. The truck is designed to bring more soul and country-style options to a part of town the owners describe as underserved.
Owners And Opening Plans
“It’s going to be country-style soul food,” Edward, a co-owner, told What Now. He said the concept grows out of a brick-and-mortar restaurant he operated about 15 years ago, and that a truck this time around lets the team be “more mobile and less expensive.” The owners are targeting an April 1 launch as they finish permits and map out the truck’s route. According to What Now, the piece includes the full menu and additional launch details.
Menu And What To Expect
The planned spread includes fried chicken, pork chops, fish and BBQ ribs, plus burgers and fries, according to What Now. Sides will feature collard greens, mashed potatoes, baked beans, sweet potatoes, corn and potato salad, with lemonade, sweet tea and other soft drinks rounding things out. The owners say the food-truck format will let them test crowd favorites in different neighborhoods while keeping prices lower than a traditional full-service restaurant.
Company Records Show New LLC
Florida business filings show Soul Out Kitchen, LLC was registered this month with a principal address of 2056 Emerson St and a filing date of January 12, 2026, according to BisProfiles. The record lists E.R. Enterprises of Jacksonville, Inc. as the registered agent, a typical move as new food businesses line up insurance and health permits. Putting the LLC in place gives the owners a formal structure to book events and lock in a regular schedule.
When To Find The Truck
The owners say they will share the truck’s schedule and opening-day details on its Facebook page once logistics and permits are finalized. Follow the Soul Out Kitchen Facebook page for updates. Local diners looking for a fresh Southside option say they will be watching for that first April service.
