Transplant from Texas here. Haven't found any great places for soul food, but maybe I should get out more 😀 I've only been to Kin once, but it wasn't good that day.

Non soul food - Tough to go wrong on Atwells Ave in Federal Hill. I really like Providence Oyster Bar (already mentioned previously) and Massimo Ristorante. Constantino's has a nice outdoor area if it's warm enough.

In Downtown Providence, I like Providence Coal Fired Pizza and Mokban Korean Bistro. Rogue Island has decent food. Trinity Brewhouse is OKAY for pub food.

I've heard Circe is really good, but they wouldn't let us eat there because we were wearing tank tops during the summer so take that for what it's worth. Hemenway's if you're looking to splurge. The District I like for brunch.
