    This review is based solely on my interaction with staff, as I didn't get the chance to try any food: I had been hearing great things about the Old School Brunch here, so I made a reservation through OpenTable a month in advance and was really looking forward to it. When I arrived, the place was packed with a great atmosphere and music. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill from there. When I checked in, the hostess had difficulty hearing me over the music and seemed visibly annoyed during the interaction. We were first seated at a very small table directly in a high-traffic walkway. I asked to be moved, and while she did relocate us, it was to a booth right next to the kitchen--another busy spot that wasn't ideal. After waiting a while, a server came by and I explained the situation. I noticed a few other open tables and booths, but was told they were reserved--even though I also had a reservation. At one point, I even asked about a table that had just been cleared, but was again told no for the same reason. Overall, I was disappointed not only by the lack of flexibility, but also by the dismissive and unaccommodating attitude from staff. It really took away from what I had hoped would be a great experience.

    I thought I left a review for this already! It was an absolutely terrific experience. The food came out quite quickly and was absolutely delicious. The burger had some mento cheese on it for a signature touch. The ribs had pomegranate seeds and scallions in a little nut crumble. They were absolutely Divine and I will be going back for those. The baked potato also had some pimento cheese in it which was different and I don't know if I loved it but I definitely didn't hate it! The patio was beautiful and we went on such a nice temperature and clear day so it was perfect. The service is very southern as in they were very hospitable and at their pace. Bathrooms were nice enough. Parking is free and there's a lot right across the street with ample spots.

    Brunch at South Bar and Kitchen was definitely a whole vibe You can go à la carte, but listen... go ahead and do the brunch. Trust me. For $49.99, they start bringing the food OUT. We're talking fresh watermelon to kick things off, then catfish bites (crispy, seasoned just right), and deviled eggs--which, okay, weren't my favorite, but everything else made up for it real quick. Now let's talk about those biscuits... BABY. Fresh baked, warm, with this glaze on top that just melts into them. Then they hit you with berry jam, hot honey, AND pecan butter?! Yeah... disrespectfully good. For my main, I had the shrimp and grits--creamy, flavorful, no complaints. My man got the scramble skillet with a side of sausage and cleaned his plate, so you already know what that means. The vibe? Super chill at first, but don't get it twisted--it fills up FAST. We got there early (pro move), and by the time we were leaving, it was packed. Oh--and if you're outside with your people, go ahead and add the $25 unlimited bubbles and Bloody Marys. That's just common sense Overall? I'm absolutely running this back. Perfect spot for a group brunch, good food, good energy, and a reason to get a little cute and step out.

    Gumbo

    MORE DEVILED EGGS PLEASE !!! Nestled in a newly gentrified area in Pompano Beach within an old warehouse type district. This corner eatery is open for lunch Tuesday - Friday, live music on the weekends with a weekday happy hour 4p - 7p drink specials and 50% off Hankerin' appetizers. The interior dining room boasted a white industrial ceiling with exposed ventilation shafts festively decorated with red and gold Christmas tinsel and garlands, complemented by brown wood flooring providing a sense of warmth. The outide patio gloated with a massive historically protected Banyan tree which was surely the focal point of this southern vibe restaurant. The tree provided natural shade for the surrounding seating. After manipulating several tables to support our large party, we finally found refuge under the Banyan tree which sheltered us from the blazing sun. The server, who doubled as the sole bartender, took our cocktail, beer and appetizer orders and was quick to return with our drinks. The deviled eggs were plated a few minutes later. The eggs were surprisingly dyed pink filled with cajun whipped yolks, green onion, smoked trout roe and chicken crisps - a masterpiece of edible art. I nibbled on a few, but the wife quickly devoured several deliberately staying away from her mouth as a safety precaution. Ordered an average size 6.5 ounce burger with candied bacon jam and roasted garlic mayo which made this juicy beef burst with flavor. There was a spacious cement courtyard next to the patio with a large multi-colored butterfly mural on the wall. The courtyard is partially covered with green astro turf accompanied by a Corn Hole game ready to play while waiting for your meal. The exterior patio and courtyard is surely kid friendly. Today, there were more kids then adults, running around climbing on benches, crawling under tables and screaming. Take my advice, if you are coming here for a relaxing lunch, DO NOT sit outside. The gender assigned bathroom was spotless and absolutely beautiful with gold faucets over the stainless steel trough style sink. Light wood flooring with black tile and green painted walls really inspired a classic appearance. The little details and the tasty food were really appreciated.

    Crab Beignets
    Aliya H.

    I've been wanting to check this place out for their bottomless brunch. It was really good! We tried a bunch of everything but the standout were definitely the blue crab beignets. They were INSANE! I ordered 3 orders just for myself. The bottomless was very good too, different selection from the traditional mimosas. Live music too. And it wasn't very busy so it was nice. A must try.

    Brunch menu
    Sergio F.

    While placing my order for plates off their unlimited brunch menu, I was joking on text that I felt like a snake having a huge meal. Yes because even their small plates are filling and delicious! I found South Bar & Kitchen on the way home from a weekend work meeting in Ponpano Beach (having to work on a holiday weekend is reason enough to indulge!!) Located in the Old Town area of Pompano Beach off Atlantic Avenue and just before getting on I-95, this cool little spot has a variety of dishes in both their inside and terrace dining spaces. I ate inside to be able to watch the UM game on TV, but the outside has a nice little terrace under a huge tree. The downtempo / jazzy R&B was perfect to chill out to. At least during Saturday brunch, there was free street parking available. When I walked in, Faith the hostess was friendly in explaining their Saturday morning unlimited brunch menu. While drinks are extra, $54 for 2 hours is a great deal, and the menu selection is huge; you can even repeat courses. (For beverages, I just had a couple of strong cups of Americano coffee , passing on other drinks.) Once seated, Alyssa was my waitress. She was equally friendly and right on point with her recommendations. I started with their bacon jam sliders - fluffy rolls with a seasoned but slightly sweet sauce on yummy beef & fresh greens. Eating with my eyes, I then went for the brunch staple of chicken & waffles. South serves their as a fluffy slider, garnished with green onions & powdered sugar supporting deliciously spicy pieces of lightly breaded chicken. Before indulging in their dessert (my "healthy" bit of greek yogurt and fresh berries, make sure to hold space for the candied bacon. You're welcome !

    Shrimp and grits
    Janice H.

    Came here for dinner on a Sunday evening and was disappointed. I've came to South for their brunch and have enjoyed it but the dinner is really lacking. First off, before we ordered, we were told they were out of a few items (we came at 6:00pm and dinner started at 4:00pm). We ordered two kids grilled cheese meals, shrimp and grits and the chicken sliders. Let's start with the positives - my children enjoyed their grilled cheese sandwiches and fries. Now for the negatives - the chicken sliders appeared to have been reheated (maybe leftover from the morning brunch?) the chicken tasted old/tough & lacked taste and the biscuits were hard/overcooked/over reheated. The shrimp and grits had no taste. The restaurant was clean and quiet, not that many people there, but the food was terrible.

    Deviled Eggs
    Barry D.

    Nice, casual place with a southern themed menu. Drinks were good. Food was better. Po Boy was on point. Deviled eggs were a sight! Fried chicken and sweet potato are a can't miss. Server was great, even at about of the way outside table. Will be back.

    The pork, rice and goat cheese egg rolls (boudin rolls)
    Carole P.

    We went for happy hour. We got ribs (cooked to Perfection, fell off the bone, excellent seasoning, we loved it!) We got chicken wings. Good flavor, a little overcooked... and they don't have wet wipes? Bizarre We got boudin rolls (pork and rice and goat cheese egg roll... phenomenal) Bar was slammed packed. The bathrooms were clean and stocked. The staff was friendly. We did happy hour stuff, can't really speak to menu items

    Friday was a busy night in Old Town Pompano as their first Friday night of the month started up again with the outdoor band, vendors and food trucks. Although the food trucks were tempting my friends and I opted for indoor, seated dining. Hence, we chose South Bar & Kitchen which is huge and does have music and seating outdoors as well. The atmosphere was lively. The service was good and the food was delicious. We had Gumbo, Caesar Salad, VooDoo Muscles, Classic Cheeseburgers, Collard Greens, Shrimp Po' Boy and Smoked Wings. Every dish was delicious, but the Gumbo was the best.

    Lychee martini
    Laura R.

    Came here for lunch with my family and friends and sat under the banyan tree on the patio. Parking was across the street and completely free. My lychee martini was tasty and put me into a relaxed stress free state. Ate several deviled eggs that were very tasty and my husband had a flavorful burger BUT unfortunately I had the chicken Caesar salad but alot of my chicken was fatty - not happy.

    Inside
    Evelina K.

    Our group highly enjoyed this place. It had wonderful service with very knowledgeable staff. The area inside and outside the restaurant was very beautiful and elegant and this restaurant would be a great date night spot. The food was amazing! My personal highlight was gumbo because it's so rare to find in south florida.

For dinner, he got the honey chicken Sammy with sidewinder fries, and I went with the chimmichurri steak frites with curly fries... SO good. Everything came out piping hot, quickly, and you can tell the food and drinks are really thoughtfully crafted. What stood out most, though, was the customer service. The three main staff members Drew, Mel, and Darian (I think?) were incredible. Every single one of them went above and beyond for every guest the entire time. When we arrived, there were just a couple tables outside, but once it started raining, they seamlessly accommodated everyone inside without missing a beat. The vibe is such a cool mix, neighborhood spot meets speakeasy meets tiki with a slightly elevated feel, but still super comfortable. Everyone in the place seemed to know each other or quickly became friends. The music was great, and by 7:30 the live entertainment started, he was funny, engaging, and talented. We got there just in time to catch the tail end of happy hour for our first drink, and from there it just kept getting better. Drew, the bartender, even went out of his way to make me a specialty drink I had seen on Yelp that's no longer on the menu, such a thoughtful touch. By 7:30 on a Wednesday, the place was packed, which says everything. Exceptional service, amazing food, great drinks, and an all around fun, welcoming atmosphere. We'll absolutely be back.

    You ever open a drink menu and immediately realize... yeah, you're not leaving anytime soon?…read more That was me at Twice Removed Gastropub. Because this isn't one of those places where you scan the menu, shrug, and say "I'll just take a beer." No no. This is the kind of spot where every cocktail sounds like it has a backstory... and you suddenly trust the bartender more than yourself. Creative. Unique. Actually delicious. Not just trying to be different for the sake of it. These drinks land. And if cocktails aren't your thing, don't worry... the beer and cider lineup is deep. Drafts, bottles, cans... it's like they said, "Why limit happiness?" And honestly? That's the tone of the whole place. Welcoming. Comfortable. The kind of vibe where you could show up for one drink and accidentally solve all your life problems over three. Now let's talk food. Because this is where things get interesting... in a good way, mostly. The meatballs? Legit. The kind that make you pause mid-conversation just to acknowledge what's happening. The poutine... I mean, I'm legally obligated to say it... poutine routine. Couldn't resist. And thankfully, neither should you. It delivers. The sliders? Cooked perfectly. Juicy, balanced, exactly what you want. But... There's a small twist in the plot. That bacon jam. Someone in the kitchen is in love. And I respect it. But they might be a little too generous. It leans heavy. Not a dealbreaker, just a "whoa, okay, I see you" moment. Micro twist? You'll say you're full... and then still find yourself reaching for one more bite like it owes you money. Here's the bottom line. Twice Removed Gastropub knows exactly what it is. Great drinks. Solid food. A place that feels easy the second you walk in and even harder to leave. Four stars. And one of those spots you quietly hope doesn't get too popular... because you're already planning your next visit.
