    Warm Chocolate Brownie
    Sianni B.

    Came here for a cute little brunch date with my man to celebrate new beginnings! We both got the unlimited brunch which included everything on the menu! We also got bottomless mimosas . Everything came out super fast which was great since there was only a two hour limit. Only thing about that was some things were a-little cold but not too crazy. The portions were perfectly sized and if you wanted more you could just order! My favs were the deviled eggs, chicken sandwiches, chicken and waffles and catfish! The brownie with ice cream was sooooo delicious if I wasn't so full I definitely would have gotten more haha but I basically almost tried the whole menu just didn't take pics of it all. Certain items did need a-little more flavor but overall it was a good experience reminded me a bit of a New Orleans vibe! I def recommend trying it out our server was also very attentive I forget her name :(

    Came for the R&B supper club! We had a great time. We enjoyed the old school tunes, drinks, food, and vibe. Our waitor was friendly and attentive, would definitely come here again!!

    I recently visited South Bar & Kitchen for their Old School Saturday Supper event, and while the atmosphere had its highlights, the overall dining experience left me wanting more. The restaurant is located in Pompano Beach with both street parking and several nearby parking lots, which made parking fairly easy. That said, the surrounding area felt a little sketchy, and as a woman, I personally wouldn't feel comfortable walking around alone at night. The restaurant itself is cute, casual, and inviting, with both indoor and outdoor seating. The event was held outside, where DJs kept the crowd entertained with a great mix of hip-hop, R&B, and old-school classics. The music was definitely one of the highlights of the night. Because the humidity was unbearable, even after the sun went down, I chose to sit inside for dinner before heading out to enjoy the event. Unfortunately, the service wasn't great. I understand they were likely busier than usual because of the event, but our waiter wasn't very attentive. He told us to flag him down if we needed anything, which isn't exactly what you expect when dining out. Our drinks took about 20 minutes to arrive, and although we were told the bar was backed up, they ended up tasting mostly like juice with very little alcohol. For appetizers, we ordered the crab beignets. They were just okay, but the mustard dipping sauce was actually really delicious and probably my favorite part of the dish. My friend ordered the fried chicken sandwich, and I had the shrimp Caesar salad. The salad came with much more dressing than I prefer, making it a bit overwhelming. My friend thought her sandwich was decent, but unfortunately it didn't sit well with her stomach the following day. After dinner, we headed outside to enjoy the party. The outdoor deck is built around a beautiful tree and offers plenty of seating, along with a separate outdoor bar, which created a fun atmosphere. One thing that stood out, though, was how slippery the deck was. At first I thought it might have been my shoes, but after hearing several other people mention the same thing, it seemed like I wasn't the only one who noticed. Overall, the entertainment and outdoor atmosphere were enjoyable, but I wouldn't return for dinner. The menu is fairly limited, and with fewer options, I expected each dish to really stand out. Unfortunately, the food and service just didn't live up to those expectations. If you're looking for good music and a fun Saturday night vibe, the event is worth checking out, but I wouldn't go for the dining experience alone.

    Shrimp & Grits
    Quayneshia S.

    Went on Saturday for a brunch. Good music and good vibes overall. We decided to do their unlimited brunch for our first time since it's a great way to try so much! Our tops from the unlimited brunch - bacon egg and cheese (I wish I started with this!) - catfish bites (had to do two rounds was surprise how flavorful they were - has brown and biscuits were a good side. The pancakes were okay and the sausages you can tell they just made a bunch and have them in the back wasn't fresh. Can skip the deviled eggs didn't really taste like much and the only dish I dislike was the shrimp and grits definitely not my forte. Ou server was on top of things and check in frequently. Everything came out pretty fast so keep that in mind

    Fish bites
    Roselene D.

    VERY GOOD! My friends and I decided to dine here during the Pompano Untapped event. It was pretty good. My friends had the fish bites, blue crab beignets and mac and cheese-they loved their choices. I didn't like my gumbo. The rice felt hard as if it wasn't cooked at all. I returned it to for blue crab beignets which were actually pretty good. Our server, Taylor, was very nice and polite. Great personality. The place was very lively. There was a gentleman there performing he was very good.

    The food is great here although the Mac n cheese isn't Quite as cheesy as expected ambience is nice too and great mocktails! Lovely brunch spot.

    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

    We sat at the bar . Our bartender was super nice and made us feel welcome right away. We rode two martinis and they both were great . We only ordered two appetizers ..gumbo and ribs !! They were really good ! Would come back for sure

    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.

    Brunch menu

    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 !

    New Orleans pasta
    Sahar H.

    As someone who used to live in Louisiana, I don't play around when it comes to Southern food. My taste buds have been baptized in Cajun seasoning -- so trust me when I say South Bar & Kitchen passed the vibe check. I ordered the shrimp po' boy, and let me tell you... it took me emotionally back to Louisiana. Crispy shrimp, legit flavor, no shortcuts. The Louisiana pasta was rich, comforting, and had me questioning why I ever left the South in the first place. Service? On point. Friendly, attentive, and didn't disappear once the food hit the table (always appreciated). And then there was a guy casually playing live saxophone like it was no big deal. Nothing says "Southern comfort" like good food and smooth sax in the background. I didn't know if I was at dinner or starring in a movie scene -- either way, I loved it. If you're craving real Southern flavors without hopping on a plane to Louisiana, this place delivers. I'll definitely be back... probably very soon

Parking was conveniently located right in front of the restaurant, making it an easy stop. As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted and invited to sit wherever we liked.

Our waitress was pleasant, attentive, and made us feel right at home, which always enhances the dining experience. Although we weren't extremely hungry, the menu had so many appealing options that we decided to sample a few items. We started with the Caribbean Tea shots, which were unique, refreshing, and surprisingly enjoyable. For drinks, we ordered a Malbec and a Peanut Butter Old Fashioned. Our first entrée was the Churrasco Frites, featuring marinated skirt steak topped with chimichurri and served with twister fries. The steak was cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful, but those fries were the true star of the dish. Still wanting more, we ordered the Garlic Parmesan Twice Cooked Wings. They were nicely prepared and satisfying, though I would have enjoyed a stronger garlic flavor. Not quite finished, we moved on to the Oaxaca Burger, an 8 ounce burger stacked with onion rings, bacon jam, house BBQ sauce, and Oaxaca cheese. This was one of the best burgers I've ever had, and possibly the best. The bun was toasted yet soft, the burger was seasoned perfectly, and it was cooked to a juicy medium temperature. Every bite was packed with flavor. Overall, everything we ordered was excellent, and the service and atmosphere made the experience even better. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning.
