I used to really enjoy the food here, I don't know if they changed cooks or what but the quality isn't the same. I ordered the catfish which is usually good, this time it was bland, I also ordered the chicken biscuit sandwich, the chicken was not cooked thoroughly and the biscuit was hard. The banana pudding was placed on top of the food so I ended up with banana soup. I won't be ordering from this establishment again anytime soon. read more

Popped in after a day at the Staten Island Zoo! The hostess who greeted us was delightful and had the most upbeat attitude. Our server was lovely and gave us plenty of information on the menu. They have daily specials as well which are definitely worth the price! We had the fried chicken with waffle fries, and the peach bbq sauce is one of the best sauces I've ever had with the chicken. The chicken was not too greasy, it was juicy with plenty of flavor! There was music but it wasn't too loud so you can still have conversation. I highly recommend this spot. read more

I had been so wanting to come here since 2019! We finally got to come and well.. It was underwhelming. It's nice but small. We ordered a variety of things. I was disappointed on apps. We ordered the Mac and cheese with pulled pork. The Mac and cheese was somewhat mushy and no real taste. The pork was okay nothing really special about it. We also ordered crab beignets. Now I went to NAWLINS and I know a proper beignets. Idk what these things they served us were. I know for sure they were EXTREMELY GREASY!! For dinner we got a fried chicken sandwich and I got smoked chicken with potatoes. The smoked chicken was tasty but on the dry side . Difficult to pull off the bone. Potatoes I think they were suppose to be roasted and they were again in oil. The fried chicken sandwich was dark meat but it had more skin than meat . This place was unfortunately extremely disappointing . The quality of food seems not as great as I hoped. read more

Stopped by when I was visiting Staten Island (took the free ferry to see the Statue of Liberty). We ordered their brisket, fried oysters (happy hour special), and French onion burger. Really liked their waffle fries and the fried oysters were a good deal. Brisket was good and I liked their bbq sauce. Everything else was okay, nothing special. Staff are friendly. read more

My friend from Staten island suggested visiting this spot since he wanted to try it out for a while. I got the lobster Mac and cheese and chicken pot pie. I was surprised they were both pretty small for $20+ each. The chicken pot pie was deconstructed and had a flaky top crust and no bottom pie crust. It was toast and hearty. The crust was very flaky and buttery. The lobster mac and cheese came out nicely as well. It could've been cheesier and come with more lobster pieces. I also shared the chicken and waffles. The fried chicken pieces were made fresh. I also enjoyed having 4 syrup options food the waffles. I didn't like how we were rushed out even though there were many empty tables. read more

So the chicken skins are so tasty. The mac and cheese are just adequate. The meatloaf was disgusting. The collard greens was too wet. They needed to drain it off. Mashed potatoes were good. Haven't tried the other items yet but will update when I do. Note I ordered in to the hotel I'm staying and called the restaurant to remind them to include utensils which they still forgot. read more

Have never had a bad meal! Great atmosphere and service. If you like old fashions, they have a fun list of different versions.

food was smacking & Sue our bartender made our day evening the best. She was so attentive & genuine! We will be back!

Went to Sally's southern today for the first time. Party of 8. We were seated right away at the time of our reservation. We did the bottomless alcohol for 90 minutes for $20 pp. Food was decent. I had the lobster egg Benedict. Also had the spiked iced coffee with vanilla vodka. read more

Just ordered, Mac & Cheese trio, shrimp with biscuits. Real excited. Hope it's as good as it looks. Will adjust rating as needed. Stay tuned.... Ok here we go: Mac & Cheese Trio (pulled pork, lobster and brisket) straight up FIRE. The best I've ever had. Simply amazing. Shrimp batter and sauce were excellent. Corn bread not so much (got to soggy during delivery). Overall FANTASTIC. You definitely gained a new fan. Keep up the good work. read more

Finally got here!! Amazing menu! Our server Ann was fabulous! Out of this world warm corn bread to start. We both had the seafood boil. Shrimp, corn, crawfish, potatoes, and a nice big lobster tail!! Spicy and amazing. Weren't thrilled with the lemony blueberry cheesecake though. The whipped cream tasted like bourbon and the topping on the cheesecake had a yogurty taste. Will choose a different desert next time. read more

Stopped in here with a friend for after work eats and a nice drink .. Walked in and sat immediately but we didn't love the table (dark) asked to be moved and they were totally cool with it.. We started with the corn fritters as an app to share and it was very filling and serving size was good .. They had a Waffle Wednesday thing going on so I chose the cheddar waffle and boneless fried chicken for my entree which they give you a side of peach hot honey that is soooooooooo good ! The waffle was delicious too ! My friend ordered the fried chicken with the mashed potatoes and she said the mash was delicious!!!! I did have a white peach sangria that was delicious !!!! We will be going back ! read more

Very dependable and consistent. If want to order fried chicken, this is the spot to do it! My go to order for the fam: - fried chicken - blood orange bbq sauce - Georgia peach salad - pork & apple meat loaf - Texas beef brisket - sweet potato mash - rainbow rice - brisket mac and cheese - coleslaw For some reason none of us are crazy over the cornbread, but the rest of the food has us drooling at the thought of it! I have had great experiences dining in and also sitting outside. The service is good. The staff have always been knowledgeable of the menu and friendly. It's pricey but worth it if you ask me :) read more

I ordered catering from Sally's for my kids' birthday party off of a recommendation from a family member who had not even eaten at the restaurant (she simply read some good reviews online). My experience with this restaurant was a 10/10 from the moment I called to place the order. The women who took my order was very kind and helped me determine exactly how much food I needed for my party size. The food was ready upon pickup and the same woman carried my order and put it into my car because my son had fallen asleep in the car on the way over. She refused to let me carry anything, seeing that I was pregnant. She even took my credit card inside the restaurant and came back out with all the papers so that I would not have to leave my car. In addition to the amazing service, the food was OUTSTANDING. Every guest at my party, including myself, was so impressed by the quality and flavor of everything we ordered (smoked chicken, corn bread, pulled pork, potatoes with bacon). This restaurant is about 30 minutes from my home and required pick up, but I would order again in a heartbeat. I have never in my life left a review for anything, but I felt the need to write this one based on my extraordinary experience. Thank you for a wonderful experience! read more

Came here after going to Staten Island children's museum. The corn fritter was so good! I've had from other places where it's very dry and heavy but these were good!! It was very light, not dry or oily. Love the waffle fries! I got the brisket and it was satisfying. I've been craving for some BBQ food so this does it! read more

How does this place even have 4.2 stars?! I ordered the brisket platter that came with coleslaw and bread. The brisket was dry and not even smoked as advertised. I also asked for bbq hot sauce like most decent BBQ are supposed to have, and they didn't even give it to me. Girl working outside didn't even bother to check how everything is going until she handed the bill. Overall not a great experience. If you're looking for authentic BBQ experience this ain't it. read more

We would rate Sally's as a 4.7. Parking was easy on the street at 3 pm and it's a cute little restaurant. We received excellent service from Anne. We started off with the magnolia margaritas which Anne said were a favorite from customers and were strong (she was 100% accurate) and cornbread which was delicious. I had the fried chicken (3 pieces) with a small pan of mashed potatoes- which is served with their peach hot honey and homemade hot sauce and both were delicious. The chicken could have used a little bit more salt (thus the .3 off) but it was super crispy, juicy & delicious. Hubby got the lobster gumbo which was served in a HUGE pan, full of shrimp, sausage and gumbo fixings. Definitely the portions are large enough to feed 2, so when we return we will share an app and order 1 entree, drinks and dessert. Will definitely return. read more

Sunday brunch here was good as well. Nice place. Great food. Also have a 90 minute all you can drink Sangria brunch special

Starting the New Year right. After a family event, we decided to have a group lunch and we came to Sally's. Love the charm of the place and the cool music playing. The ambiance of southern hospitality and representing Staten Island at the same time. The staff were extremely welcoming and really knowledgeable of the menu items. The lobster mac n cheese was amazing, very flavorful and perfectly cooked, nice amount of gooey cheese and lobster to balance it all out. Loved the mini skillet it was served in. Also had the apple smoked bacon on the side which was really good, better than what I had at a popular Brooklyn steakhouse. I had the Nashville hot chicken biscuit sandwich with fries as my main entree. While the "hot" was more on the mild side, it was still an excellent sandwich. Buttery biscuit made it really happen and the seasoned fries were excellent, perfectly crispy. Nice amount of food served. The desserts of banana pudding and ice cream sundaes were enjoyed very much as well. Prices are moderate, excellent place for a date or groups. Being it was New Years Day I could understand if the place was light on crowds but I'm sure this place can be jamming. Next time, will try out the drink menu and add on to the review. Thanks for a great meal!!! read more

Great food particularly the Fried Chicken biscuit and selection of wings The bar is great for people watching along Forest Avenue. An inside out drinking experience. Staff is great. Worth a vist. And short ride from Staten Island Ferry terminal in St. George read more

This food is very good. But as a Southerner, I feel like how how an Italian might feel reviewing Olive Garden. It is not quite authentic, but it is good. I might like it better if I didn't get my hopes up for authentic southern food. I can't quite put my finger on specifics right now, but my in-laws liked the food well enough that we will definitely re-order as a group and I will make a conscious effort to analyze what i'm tasting and give this an update. We ordered take out, so I cannot review for ambiance. read more

Came in from Brooklyn with my 2 friends( one from Bay Ridge, the other from Long Island) to go to the SI Zoo. At around 3, we got hungry. My friend said he could go for ribs. The first place I thought of was Sally's Southern. I've been a member of this group for awhile, and always envious of your dining places. Sally's has always been on my bucket list. I actually was ecstatic when I found out it was only 5 minutes away from the Zoo! I finally got a chance to check it out! And I certainly was not disappointed!!! The three of us loved everything served to us. Ann, our waitress/server was extremely attentive to make sure we had a great dining experience. From making recommendations to refilling our water to making sure we had enough napkins, she upped our meal and made us feel right at home. We started with Fried Shrimp and Corn Fritters which were both amazing. Even got hot honey with them, which makes them soooo good! I had the Chicken Fried Steak, with Chicken Fried Potatoes and a side of collards. I can't rave more about the meal. Plentiful and so delicious! My friends ordered the pork bellies and Fried Shrimp Salad. Both were extremely satisfied. We ended the meals splitting a Peach Cobbler Bread Pudding( with vanilla ice cream!) and Banana Pudding. My Fresh Lemonade couldn't have been better. My friend's Peach Sweet Iced Tea was also great( after tasting it, I was upset I didn't order one). All said and done, we left stuffed and we all agreed this was a great place to have picked. My only regret is that I live in Brooklyn and can't make it here as often as I would like. Again, thanks Ann for making our meal as special as I had hoped it would be! And of course a special thanks to the chef(and staff) for making the excellent food!! Hopefully, next time we're in town, we can revisit Sally's. Ann told me next time I should try the Fried Chicken and/or the burgers. So,yeah, I guess I owe it to Ann to come back and try them. There, it's settled. There will be a next time! read more

Upon entering, greeted by a lovely young woman who seated us upstairs. She was so nice and friendly. I didn't even know they had an upstairs. Upstairs is very big and spacious. Seats the larger parties. Our server was from Kansas and she was great. She always checked up on us. Food was great! Fried chicken with the hot honey and hot sauce..whew amazing!!! Georgia Peach salad with shrimp--Soo good..and it's not 3 pieces of shrimp it was probably like 8-10 large pieces. Tried a piece of my friends steak--delish. My whole table enjoyed their meals. Ambiance gives the down south feeling for sure. read more

I went there about a few weeks ago and it was an amazing experience with staff everyone was helpful and so friendly I thought I would feel uncomfortable being the only Puerto Rican in the establishment but I honestly felt like family staff members are super great going bk soon great place to hang out at. read more

Decent place , super pricey , love the chicken biscuit with fries tho!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What!, I had no idea it had a 2nd floor upstairs. Plus, a one-person elevator to get upstairs. It's a airy space upstairs. High ceilings. We ordered 3 baskets of fried chicken. I can see the hot steam escaping the pieces of chicken. Small skillets of mashed potatoes, Mac n cheese, fresh hearty french fries. The mixed drinks weren't consistent. I drank it's bloody south in 2021 and then a few months ago. Not the same looks-wise or taste-wise. I ordered the chicken pot pie and was surprised at all the chunks of chicken in it. And the flaky crust was delicious. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate cherry dessert. It's now served in a small mason jar versus spread on a plate in 2021. It was more delicious on a plate, maybe the recipe changed. read more

We love visiting Sally's. The staff is so sweet. The food is somewhat like being in New Orleans. Their hamburgers are so juicy and delicious. Consistently good. It's a small place but they do have a second floor with an elevator. A nice place when you want to relax and enjoy simply good food. read more

I came with a party of 2 for dinner and we were seated right away. We found street parking with no issue. For southern food, I had higher expectations, but it just didn't hit for me. Food overall 3.5/5 - it wasn't the best fried chicken I've had and it wasn't the worst. I got the chicken fried steak (3.5/5). Not sure if it was the steak or the gravy that was lacking, or both. I wasn't a fan of the chicken fries, they were potato wedges with a thin chicken coating (3/5). I wish they were crispier. My partner got the fried chicken (4/5) with mashed potatoes. Probably the better food choice. Ambiance 4/5 - I enjoyed the decor! Cozy southern feel. Service 4.5/5 read more

Don't order seafood here !! I recently ordered takeout from Sally's - 'cause I used to love this place - just a shrimp po-boy, nothing crazy. Tell me why I get home not five hours later, and I've got food poisoning. I'm not looking for redemption or anything, but I think it's only right that other people know. Sally's isn't awfully serious about food safety. read more
