Soul Food Restaurant Planning to Expand With Second Location at Dayton Food Hall

According to a recent article on the website Dayton.com , a Middletown restaurant is expanding. Mz. Jade’s Soul Food is slated to become the next tenant at the W. Social Tap & Table food hall, located at 1100 W Third St, in Dayton’s historic Wright-Dunbar District. Although the Middletown eatery is known for a diverse line up of entrees like burgers, meatloaf, fried fish and hibachi dishes, the food hall location will offer a streamlined version of the “seasoned with love” menu.

The eatery is owned by Naiyozcia “Mz. Jade” King, who shared with What Now Columbus that the abbreviated food hall menu will include wings and seafood like catfish and cod, shrimp and salmon patties, along with some rotating sides such as greens, mac and cheese, yams and cornbread, plus seafood crab boils on Saturday until the boil items are sold out.

At the Middletown restaurant guests can choose from a number of cocktails or soft drinks such as soda, sweet tea, lemonade and Mz. Jade’s Kool-Aid. King said that the only drink offered at the food hall will be Mz. Jade’s Kool-Aid.

The expansion to W. Social Tap & Table will happen very fast, with Mz. Jade’s Soul Food slated to open in two weeks. The soul food eatery is moving into the former home of Cajun comfort food concept De’Lish, which announced its departure from the food hall on May 11.
