A new Southern Soul Cuisine style restaurant celebrated its grand opening on Thursday with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 11:00 a.m.

The new restaurant is called The Take-Out, located in the heart of Eastern Youngstown at 1852, Oak St. The restaurant will be takeout only, specializing in barbecue foods such as ribs, chicken and briskets, and will also highlight daily specials such as "Walking Taco Tuesdays."

The restaurant is owned and operated by business partners and friends, Waymond Chambers and Antonio Owens. Chambers and Owens have been partners since 2019 with an early food truck venture, "In The Truck Eatery." The success of the food truck inspired the partners to expand their talents to a larger scale leading to The Take-Out.

The Take-Out's goal is to become a staple with residents on the east side of Youngstown providing all aspects of community service.
