So I was looking for some good soul food yesterday (Sunday, July 13th). The first place I went to…read morewas closed so this place was a suggestion. I ordered smothered turkey wing (rice included) , greens, and dressing. Even though other reviews mentioned that the food was bland and needed salt/seasonings....it was actually good to me. I enjoyed the greens so much that I decided to get a veggie plate today. I placed my order via Door Dash and still had to wait 15 minutes once I got there. Does it really take 15 extra minutes for 4 veggies; greens, blackeyed peas, fried corn, and potato salad when I ordered via Door Dash? You would think they would be already prepared. So once I get home, my 4 veggies were cold and the collard greens were SUPER salty. I live about 10 minutes away so my food should've still been hot. It seems that Sunday maybe the best day to order....EVERYTHING was perfect!

I can't lie. I was extremely disappointed in my visit to Steve's BBQ…read more Now let me start by saying, I am a BBQ snob. I take BBQ seriously. So when I walked in and found out they did not have ribs, I almost needed a moment of silence. WHAT?! Yes, you read that right. A BBQ place with no ribs. According to the cashier, Steve's didn't have ribs that day. I let it slide because, at the time, they had only been open for a couple of weeks. I believe in giving new businesses grace, especially when they are still getting their rhythm together. They did have a nice little crowd seated inside, which was good to see. I wanted to support them. However, while the doors were open, the place did not feel fully ready from an ambiance standpoint. There was junk behind what looked like the soon to be bar area. Boxes and clutter were visible, and honestly, that takes away from the experience. It is hard to focus on the food when your eyes are trying to figure out if you are in a restaurant or the back room at a storage unit. They did have booths available for customers to sit and enjoy their food, so that was a plus. Since there were no ribs, I ordered a steak hoagie sandwich and asked for extra cheese. Well, the young lady forgot to put my order in, so I ended up waiting over 25 minutes for this hoagie. By the time I got it, I was ready to take a picture, sit in my car, and have my little food review moment. But NOPE. That could not happen because the sandwich was absolutely slathered in "special sauce." It was giving sauce with a side of sandwich. And after all that, there was no extra cheese, which was specifically what I asked for. I was disappointed for three main reasons: no ribs, the order was forgotten, and the sandwich was soggy. I did not even get pictures because I refused to touch my phone and risk turning it into a saucy crime scene. I will not order that sandwich again. One day, I may give Steve's another try because I would still like to actually try the ribs. You know, the BBQ item I expected a BBQ restaurant to have. Ok, that is all. Bye!

I noticed people weren't leaving or giving up on the line, they were staying and waiting, and to me that says the food must be good. Now let's get into the food... because this is where they really shine. I've had a lot of soul food around Atlanta, and I can honestly say flavor can be hit or miss depending on the place. But whoever is in that kitchen here, they are doing their thing. Everything tasted very homemade, like real deal, cooked with love type of food. The cornbread gave very much old school, just right. The peach cobbler? Absolutely outstanding. It's actually rare to find a restaurant peach cobbler that truly tastes homemade, and this one definitely did. That alone would make me come back. We ordered the beef meatloaf, mac and cheese, collard greens, lima beans, and dressing. The dressing was especially good, again very homemade and full of flavor. The only small thing I would mention is there wasn't any gravy on the dressing, and I would've loved that. The meatloaf was good, but could've used a bit more sauce since it was just a pinch overcooked. Outside of that, everything was really good. The food was flavorful, the portions were solid, and the prices were very affordable. Overall, I'd definitely rate this place highly. I truly enjoyed it and will be coming back. I'll also be recommending it to my family and friends for sure.

There's plenty of parking, but seating is limited since it's located inside a commercial kitchen building. I would consider this more of a great pickup-and-go spot. The team here was OUTSTANDING. When we walked in, the chef gave us some chicken wings to try, and man, they were GOOD! That immediately had us excited for the rest of our food. We ordered the catfish, fried shrimps and white fish with mac & cheese, green beans, and collard greens. I loved every bite. Everything was well seasoned, fried perfectly, and nicely presented. My only complaint was that the collard greens were a little too salty for my taste. Other than that, everything was delicious. I would personally give the food a 4.5/5, but the overall experience gets 5 stars from me. Great food, amazing hospitality, and the kind of small business you feel good supporting. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area and craving some good soul food!

Don't sleep on the desserts because the cakes are delicious as well.

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. To Note: Refills are note free - Sip Wisely!

When I walked in, the restaurant was busy, and it was obvious they had a lot of orders to handle.

She was friendly, engaging, and never seemed overwhelmed despite leading the team and keeping everything running smoothly. That's the kind of customer service that leaves a lasting impression. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was welcoming, and I can definitely see why this place stays busy. Great food is one thing, but outstanding employees like Sydney are what keep people coming back. Keep up the great work!
