The menu has a lot of options that all sound good. I couldn't decide between the fried shrimp, fried chicken, fried pork chops, liver, or turkey wings, so I asked the waiter which item was most popular. She recommended the turkey wings, so I went with that. I like my turkey wings well done and nicely browned, and I specifically requested the brownest ones in the batch. She told me they had just come out and were well done. When I got home, only the top wing was browned--the one underneath wasn't--which was frustrating since I made a very specific request. She also seemed to have a slight attitude about the request, which didn't help. The turkey wings themselves were just okay. The cabbage could've used more seasoning, but the white rice and gravy were good. Unfortunately, the cornbread that was supposed to come with the meal was missing. I would try this place again, but I'd likely order one of the other items I was interested in--not the turkey wings. read more

Last time I ate there was a few years ago, and I enjoyed the meals ordered, so I decided to order takeout. Mistake. My order was missing the entree and sides. The house salad came with cheese but I asked for no cheese. Asked for salad dressing, but no dressing. Did receive the cole slaw and cornbread. They were OK. The driver was also frustrated because they were told I was receiving a substitute (there was none) so it was a disappointing order, and it took over an hour to arrive. And that I would be refunded. I had been monitoring the app because the driver said they tried to contact me but I didn't receive any communication. Please, Southern Comfort, do better. read more

Service is extremely SLLLOOOWWWWW!!! No one greets you when you walk in. The staff seem like they don't want to be here. All of the customers are disappointed. Slow to take your order, slow with the food, slow with the drinks... smh. This is my first time here and most likely last. It took 40 mins for me to get my one drink I ordered. Very disappointed. read more

The catfish nuggets were amazing and fresh. The Mac and cheese was classical perfection. The chicken and collard/cabbage roll was ok - maybe the concept needs more work. But service was wonderful and the ambience was great. I'd love to visit again!! read more

An okay dining experience. We made a reservation for a large party. It was our group and one other table of 4 occupied in the building. I didn't care for the way the bathroom smelled either. The food took a long time and was only okay tasting. My baked chicken didn't have much taste. The green beans were very salty. The macaroni didn't have a lot of taste either. A lot of people in my party said they weren't crazy about their food. I will say they do a great job of making the food aesthetically appealing! Very disappointing for the price. The staff was okay. The overall experience was eh. read more

Liver was really good. Sweet tea could use more sugar. Yams were great. I would go there again next time want to try the turkey wings.

Food presentation is great. The ginger ale was the bomb. Fish was good. Mac and cheese was not good at all. Yams were okay. Potato salad was okay. Cornbread was very dry. Only one server so didn't get many refills on drinks which was not her fault. Prob won't return. read more

If you love liver and onions this is the place for you! I go for the chicken club sandwich with the best sweet potato fries ever! Waitress didn't miss a beat anticipating our needs!

Just good food good service and a clean restaurant! read more

I called to. place an order and I was told I had to pay by card over the phone. My response was I am paying by cash when I get there. So, I get there at 9:42 and was told the kitchen was closed at 9:30. That should have been said over the phone I was told they were out of alot of sides, but turkey wings were still available. The website says you close at 10:00 and I had just spoke to you all. I was on my way back to Richmond. Black businesses are so unprofessional and rude. Prepare to serve the public with better customer service and not with such a nonchalant attitude. And you wonder why Black businesses get a bad publicity. VICKI read more

This is your typical just above hole in the wall restaurant. I mean this in a positive way! I picked this place from a soul food restaurant near me. -I got service from the bartender which was average. She had drink orders to fill. I gave my phone number for her to call me in 30 minutes when my food was ready. Well that never happened. I went inside and my food was waiting. This was take out and I ordered the half chicken fried with collard greens and Mac n cheese. The food was actually good. I'm not used to white cheese for the Mac but nevertheless it was tasty. The greens were mid. Not cooked with any smoked meat as I could tell but seasoned enough. The corn bread was slapping! The piece was fair for the portion. There was no AC or ventilation... no way I could eat inside. I would love to go there again for another menu item and mixed drink. The drinks I saw looked amazing. I'd go there again for sure. I give them 1/5 forks on location and forks for good. Probably the best I've had in Hampton roads thus far read more

The food quality was amazing! Service was great, but I don't remember her name. We will definitely be back soon!

We are back for Mom's 85th Birthday and this place did not disappoint the ambience of smooth R&B jazz laid back influence e filled the air with the sweet aroma of southern cusine filling the air. The Bar area was occupied by locals who patronize the Su day brunch and midday adult beverage vide couples with delicious appetizers. We ordered a broad array of southern cuisines from shrimp crab cakes to wings, pork chops and much much more. The sides were traditional and consistent from Collard greens to Mac and Cheese shuttling over to candied yams not a buffet but a array of good Ole cooking. Served with a smile and desire to please the only draw back was the side order of lamb chops which was lamb chop was only 1 lamb chop for 10.00 each it was thin and and small not worth the uncharted other than that the meal was satisfying. Consistency is key and for the most part this place is consistent! read more

For $20 it's not a bad deal but... The flavor of the wings I got was Honey lemon pepper, I couldn't taste any "Honey". The mac and cheese was lacking cheese and honestly the homemade taste. I didn't care for the sweet potato either, could have used butter and sugar on top. Plus the place didn't have A/C and the restaurant was very very warm. The service was 100% though! I will try again. read more

We were visiting family and family recommended this place for their chicken wings. So decided to check it out and specifically get the chicken wings. The chicken wings were huge! The collard greens were seasoned well and went real good with the cornbread. The best part was the crab dip! I definitely go back just to order the crab dip. Customer service was great and ambiance was chill. 4 stars because the potato salad wasn't too great. It was a little too mustardy for me that it was overbearing. Overall, great food and great customer service. We'll be back! read more

The restaurant interior is outdated/ old looking. They either been in business for years or inquired the location from a prior establishment and didn't renovate anything. But the food was good. I got the wing dinner and i really enjoyed the Thai chili sauce. Wish the cornbread was bigger and the waitresses were nice and gave genuine feedback on the food when i asked. I appreciate that. read more

Southern Comfort Restaurant - Southern Comfort Whole Wings - Southern Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

The waitresses are not respectful of your time!! On 2/28/2026 the service was HORRIBLE. There were about 60 customers with 2 waitresses. Dropped off the menu and you have to go to the register to ask someone to take your order 30 mins later.. One lady was at her table for about 45 minutes and the waitress told her she was too busy take her order. If you have no plans go there because the food is good, but the service and the attitude is NOT WORTH IT. Folks want us to support Black business, but look at what you get. SMGDH read more

One of the best places for great food , l've ever had. This place has a better rating than threee and half stars.

The customer service was horrible!! We were here for 2 hours my party received their food while 2 ladies out the party didn't receive their food until we were finished with ours. Food was a 9/10 but they definitely need to work on their customers service skills. Will not be returning. read more

I honestly didn't know this place existed until a co-worker wanted to try this place. So I was with a party of 3 and we were seated at a high table. The place is nicely colored teal and black. It took a while for the server to come over (they weren't busy). She was very pleasant and took our orders. I will tell you they are NOT fast! The drinks came which were mediocre (2 of us tried the southern comfort punch). Now the food on the other hand was good! If you like your food seasoned this is where it's at! They have a lunch menu, happy hour food & drink menu, plus brunch, taco Tuesdays, and they have daily specials. I will most likely be back to try other food items. read more

Great chow!!! Nice and clean... and run by a great local couple.... Treat yourself & give it a try!!!

PROS: seated quickly (Friday @ 5:30) Happy Hour FOOD was good! It took A LONG TIME, it came out hot and full of flavor CONS: Service. It was slow and our server was dry, to the point of rude. Maybe she was having a bad day. It took FOREVER for our food to get to the table. VIBE was very soulful, but SLOW MUSIC. AND THE AC was broken. The thermostat was set to 69; but 77 degrees inside. read more

HereThe food was enjoyable overall, though the mac and cheese could have been fresher--it had a bit of a leftover Thanksgiving vibe. The drink wasn't to my taste, but I didn't want to send it back, as our waiter seemed a bit preoccupied. While the setting isn't the most comfortable, it's a decent spot for a quick lunch date. I'd consider coming back, but probably not on my own dime. Our server was polite and did her best, though she may have had something personal on her mind that day. read more

Father's Day June 16, 2025, 1030 AM My wife waited at the front of the line for approximately 20 minutes, only to be informed that it would take an additional 45 minutes to be seated. This was despite the fact that nearly 40% of the tables were visibly unoccupied. We were told the delay was due to a backlog in the kitchen, so we continued to wait. While I consider myself a patient person, my patience wore thin when I saw two individuals--identified by staff as regulars--walk past the line and be seated immediately. It became evident that the staff was overwhelmed, and the restaurant's service process was in need of serious improvement. Customers choose restaurants not only for the food but also for the service--both are equally important. While I won't comment on the food, as this was our first visit, I can say that the service left much to be desired. Frustrated, my wife and I decided to leave. As we exited, we passed a line of more than 30 people still waiting. Interestingly, another couple followed us out. We went to a different restaurant, where we were seated and served within 30 minutes. The service was excellent--and so was the food. read more

Service: Too slow. It took just about 1 hour from the time I ordered on a Saturday at 5:30 PM until it was ready. Food: Catfish dinner, Fried Turkey Chop, and Meatloaf Dinner. All were probably 7/10 on taste. It doesn't matter though if it was manna from heaven because I would never go back there considering how long it took. Ambiance : Its is in a corner of a strip mall so the lighting isn't the best. Very much of a roadside diner type of vibe. Either the AC wasn't working well or they didn't have it on bc it was very warm inside. read more

In town for the Jazz Legacy jazz festival this weekend & stopped in for lunch. Let me tell you that our server Jaelynne was so amazing! Very attentive & provided great customer service.

We had fried catfish, bbq ribs, fried shrimp, shrimp po boys, honey lemon pepper wings and I had the turkey wings featured in this review. Our sides included Mac n cheese, green beans, cabbage, rice & gravy, fries, and yams!!!! SWEET JESUS!!! This place is the truth! You gotta stop in & try some of this SOUTHERN COMFORT food!!! Ask for Jaelynne! She'll provide the most amazing food/drink experience!! read more

The food was very good, I had the liver with rice gravy and onions. Green beans was my side and all of the food was seasoned to perfection!

Perfect visit from beginning to the end! As if I even need to say this, I located this place on Yelp! Once we arrived, I realized I've been here before but I believe they were crowded and we couldn't get in, or something similar. Well, we're back! Not only are we back, we're back for happy hour and dinner! Feed us please! This place has a spacious parking lot out front and you can easily locate this place from the main road. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the bartender Mike. Mike was super laid back and cool! We got right to it with our questions about drinks and food items and Mike was prepared to give it his all! He even provided my husband with a sample or 2 of questionable items. Hubby loved everything! Collectively we ordered roasted turkey wings with veggies and potato salad, baked catfish with broccoli and yams, chicken wings off of the happy hour menu and some good good drinks (Bahama Mama and Hurricane)! The only downfall with this place is everything took quite a bit of time. Mike did apologize a few times for the delay. Let me tell you the wait was well worth it! Those chicken wings came out so crispy and tender! I was mad that they cooked them because they were too hot for me to eat! Yes! I said it!! Lol The wings were a great size and seasoned perfectly! Hubby genuinely loved his turkey wings and sides. He kept stating he's not going to be able to finish this meal because it was so much! He almost finished that meal! Haha My catfish was the perfect portion sized entrée. It was so good that I was taking small bites to devour longer! Yes small bites! I rarely get grilled or blackened catfish while out because it never comes out right but today, it came out rightttt! And let me tell you about these happy hour drinks, we got a Bahama Mama and a Hurricane! Talk about great daggone drinks, the perfect amount of alcohol and a smooth smooth intake. This black owned business is pretty awesome! We will definitely be back every time we travel here to visit our son at Hampton! Southern Comfort has us locked in for the next 4 years !! read more

They had terrible service! We had reservations at 1pm for ten people and at first were sat at a table only for eight people. When I asked to changed our table we were met with attitude from two servers. When we finally ordered, our food took TWO hours to come out with NO update. We had to keep asking how long the wait would be. When we finally got our food they had ran out of half of what we ordered due to them serving other people before us. On top of that they did nothing but try to give us half off for our troubles. The manager took 20 minutes to come out and the owner wasn't even there, and when he got there he didn't really try to rectify the problem. I WILL NEVER STEP FOOT IN THIS POORLY RAN ESTABLISHMENT. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME! THE FOOD IS NOT WORTH IT AT ALL. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. read more
