Faith Soul Food Restaurant & Bar

Faith Soul Food Restaurant & Bar sits on 1439 NE Halsey Street in Portland’s vibrant Hawthorne neighborhood, just a short walk from the historic Alberta Street arts district and the bustling Mississippi Avenue food scene. Founded by Faith, a lifelong lover of Southern cooking, the eatery delivers authentic soul‑food classics that comfort the palate and warm the heart. Signature dishes include the crispy, seasoned fried chicken served with buttery biscuits, slow‑cooked collard greens seasoned with smoked turkey, creamy macaroni‑and‑cheese topped with a crunchy breadcrumb crust, and sweet corn‑bread drizzled with honey butter. The menu also features hearty gumbo, smoked brisket, and a rotating “Sunday Soul” special that showcases seasonal Southern flavors. Inside, the space blends reclaimed wood tables, vintage Memphis‑style posters, and soft jazz and blues playlists, creating a relaxed, home‑like atmosphere perfect for families, friends, and solo diners. A modest bar offers Southern‑inspired cocktails such as a peach‑bourbon smash and a classic mint julep, alongside craft beers from local Portland breweries. Opening hours are Monday through Saturday 11:00 am–9:00 pm and Sunday 12:00 pm–6:00 pm, with a moderate price range of $12–$22 per entrée. Faith’s team provides curbside pickup for quick lunches, and a reliable delivery service that brings the flavors of the South straight to neighborhoods across Portland. Whether you’re craving a comforting plate of fried chicken, a vegetarian collard‑green bowl, or a sweet finish of pecan pie, Faith Soul Food promises a soulful dining experience that feels like a warm hug from the South, right in the Pacific Northwest.
