I have to set the scene for you... Picture it, Atlanta. 2026. It's a Friday Night. I got off work…read moreearly and I was ready to try something new. I was on the phone with Ramsey and as always, I told her to pull up so we could go eat. As she was on her way, I headed to Yelp to figure out where to go and stumbled across Southern Fire Kitchen - Fayetteville.
By the time Ramsey pulled up, the pictures from Southern Fire Kitchen - Fayetteville had me extra hungry and I was ready to go. LoL!
Getting to Southern Fire Kitchen - Fayetteville was easy as it sits in the central area of Fayetteville. Once there, parking was smooth as the lot had ample spaces. I parked and headed inside as was instantly taken by the ambiance. The dim lighting, highback wall benches, table lighting, and velvet cushions set the tone for a night of fun. Based on the visual alone I had it in my mind that I was coming back here for my next date night.
I headed to the hostess stand and was greeted with a smile. I requested a table for two and had a seat as the table was being cleaned off... The wait was only a few minutes and they flew by as the R&B Playlist that was playing was off the hook. I am talking about all the throwback hits from Joe, Jodeci, H-Town, Ashanti and all. I was in a zone. LoL!
Once my table was ready, I headed to the table, scanned the menu, and began to scroll. Within minutes we were greeted by Vicky and that is when the night shifted. Vicky is the kind of waitress that reminds you that there is good in the world. Her natural charisma, infectious smile, and love for her customers was so recognizable that all you could do was feel the joy radiating from her as she interacted with you. I mean golly! Vicky is that girl and truly made my experience at Southern Fire Kitchen - Fayetteville a promoter worthy experience.
After meeting Vicky, we began to discuss the menu. She suggested I try the Honey Garlic Wings and though I was scared, I trusted her. As such, my order was:
Appetizer: Honey Garlic Wings, Cornbread
Entree: Krispy Fried Fish w/ Yams and Black Eyed Peas
Drink: Sweet Tea
Now, let me be clear... Vicky delivered with her suggestion. Them wings was wangannnnnn... I am talkin Good Googa Mooga kinda good. I am talking auntie in the back with the elbow good. Downstairs at the church kitchen kind of good. I don't know who came up with that flavor profile either but babeeeeeeeeeeee, the way that honey and garlic sits on the taste buds should be studied for the effects of pleasure principles on the brain.. Yeah! That kind of good!
Wings - 10, Fish - 10, Yams - 5, Black Eyed Peas - 10, Cornbread (Good Gawdddddd) - 10, Overall Score - 10.
Not only am I going back, I am running back and I am calling first to make sure Vicky is working anddddddddddd, I want two orders of wings, and an order to go, and an extra order for the next two days.... Matter-of-fact, just lemme get 20 wangs.
