ORIGIN: Khalliah Murphy (aka Lady K) enjoyed cooking since…read moreshe was a little girl. After completing culinary school, Murphy started a Yonkers-based catering company, and later, in 2016, moved north to open a brick and mortar cafe -- Lady K's Southern Comfort. LOCATION: Lady K's Southern Comfort is located in a small strip mall along Violet Avenue/Route 9G. Ample parking is available. CONCEPT: Lady K's offers quintessential southern comfort food, such as rice with pigeon peas and slow cooked savory collard greens, however tastes of other culinary heritages, such as empanadas, are sprinkled across the menu. Lady K's primarily offers dishes that represent home cooked southern meals -- on site, as take out, or custom catered events. SERVICE: One thing that stands out about Lady K's Southern Comfort is the homey feeling. This extends to the service. During my weekend afternoon visit Khalliah and Shawn Murphy's daughter and son were eagerly helping (Little K and Littlest K). Although customers place their orders at the counter, I was still asked whether I liked what I had chosen. My response brought a proud smile to Little K's face! EXPERIENCE: Plates are available in three sizes, with a protein and two choice of sides. I experienced the small fried chicken with collard greens and macaroni and cheese on the side. Khalliah's family were known for their fried chicken recipe in their Bronx neighborhood, so it comes as no surprise that the chicken was expertly executed -- crisp, non-greasy exterior encasing juicy, moist interior at every bite. Complementing this was the collard greens, in which multiple flavors were married and had just the right amount of vinegary flavor. Next time I will ask for double sides of collard greens -- it's that outstanding! While multiple tables are set up for dining, Lady K's is currently primarily set up for take out. Although photos on Yelp suggest there was plated service in the past, all food is now served in compartmented styrofoam take out containers. This was my only disappointment as I feel household plates and utensils would reflect the homey dishes for those who are looking to dine in. TIPS: Check Lady K's Facebook profile for rare temporary changes in daily hours. Kool Aid is one of the beverage options. I have never seen that before in a menu and I think it's available adds to the homey aspect of the meals prepared at offered at Lady K's Southern Comfort. Kool Aid was a staple in homes in my neighborhood, and the cheerfully colored packets of flavoring powders are rarely found in grocery stores today.

Discrimination galore! I walked in to this establishment grab a Grub Hub order and was looked up…read moreand down by who I soon learned was the owner and was told he's not making the order for my customer. I then watched as he made orders for other people. My customer had already paid. This happens to be an all black establishment, as was my customer. I'm white - very white. I tend to use Grub Hub to find good places to eat. After the look I got, the refusal of service and the dismissive attitude I received, what else am I to think? Will never eat here as I don't support discrimination in any form.

So I am sad to see this iconic Poughkeepsie spot only rated 3 stars! I eat here a couple times a…read moremonth, and the food has always been spot on. I get it is in a not so savory neighborhood and you get harassed by the zombies outside, but the chicken is the best in Poughkeepsie. The staff is always polite and professional despite dealing with a rough clientele who are often rude and even threatening to them. I cant speak to a lot of the food, as I haven't eaten most of the stuff on the menu. I can however speak to the chicken, fries, corn nuggets, and the beef patties. Any of these items I would highly recommend, and I would be surprised to hear negative reviews on them.

I'm thinking maybe I'll give it a try again because it was like the 1st week it opened but I'm not in no rush. Their customer service is exceptional! The restaurant is nice and clean.
