Round two at this place and I'm officially obsessed. My husband and I perched up at the back bar like we owned the joint, mostly because Jess and India are the undisputed GOATs of bartending. They kept the spicy margaritas flowing, and let me tell you those drinks have just enough kick to make you rethink your life choices in the best way possible. Now, let's talk about this food, because I'm pretty sure I heard angels singing. The Fried Wings were fried to such perfection I'm convinced the chef has a PhD in crunch-ology. The Yams! These sweet potatoes were clearly touched by the Candy Lady herself. I don't know if it's sugar or magic, but I'm addicted. The Mac and Cheese! It was so perfect I almost asked it to marry me. My husband, went the "responsible" route with the baked turkey wing, green beans, and yellow rice. That turkey was falling off the bone like it was tired of being an overachiever, and the green beans had more flavor than my entire childhood. Even the rice was seasoned like it had a point to prove. Bottom line: If you're looking for us, we'll be here. This isn't just a meal, it's a spiritual experience. If "Soul Food" is the question, this place is the only answer. read more

My first visit to Southern Soul Kitchen was on July 27 at around 9:45 p.m., During our visit, there was a well-known singer dining with her family. Naturally, I wasn't surprised to see someone from management stop by the table to welcome them. However, what stood out to me was that the same manager who had a short pixie haircut and was wearing a gray jogging suit with sneakers returned to the celebrity's table several times throughout the evening. What made this disappointing was that there were at least five other occupied tables between us and the celebrity's party, and none of us were acknowledged or checked on by management a single time. As a first-time guest, it left me feeling as though the experience of the other paying customers wasn't valued in the same way. Hospitality is about making every guest feel welcome, regardless of who they are. A quick stop at each table to ask, "How is everything tonight?" would have made all the difference. Instead, the repeated attention given to one table gave the impression of favoritism, and unfortunately, that was something I noticed. I truly enjoyed my waitress and appreciate the service she provided. My hope is simply that management extends the same level of attention and hospitality to every guest who walks through the door. Everyone chooses to spend their time and money there, and everyone deserves to feel equally appreciated. read more

No pics this time so I had the shrimp macaroni cheese and collard greens. My date had chicken breast that was small collard greens and macaroni and cheese so the food was 4 out of 10 Service was good minus it took 20 minutes for the cornbread to come to the table. Refills is not free. Alcohol drink was 2 out of 10. The atmosphere was 7 out of 10 I didn't really like it. I rather go to magnolias and Tucker is a 9 out of 10. read more

Mac&cheese were amazing, yams were even better. However the fried chicken was too dry. I actually had a difficult time chewing it. The crispiness outside the chicken was fine, but it was the meat itself which was too rubbery. It mightve been just that one cut we tried or they fried it for too long or something. For the service, I think it depends on who you get, because Ive had a good and a bad one. Ambiance of the restaurant was pretty nice and I thought it would be a nice place to come for a southern food date night. read more

The food did not disappoint, however the service was unsatisfactory. We got the fried catfish with fried okra and Mac and cheese-- added on wings and mashed potatoes on the side. First time having the fried okra here and it was good. I really liked the batter and the touch of ranch seasoning. Ambiance was okay. As far as service, it was not good whatsoever. Our server greeted us and gave us water then proceeded to not check on us for 15+ minutes. A big group came in during that time and he proceeded to take their order, to which I got up and asked the manager for help. She quickly handled that for us and got us another server. I really enjoy the food here but the service does not match up. With an automatic 18% gratuity added, I do expect a higher level of service. read more

We went for a friends birthday party and had to reserve several tables to accommodate the large group. The service was excellent but the restaurant was extremely hot and never cooled off. The lobster bites and lamb chops were excellent but the Mac and cheese was mediocre at best. The collard greens were fine but the portions were extremely smaller than the price and I was still hungry 30 minutes later read more

My sister and I visited Southern Fire Kitchen before we headed back to the airport. We did make a reservation before arrival and were seated immediately. This food was TOP TIER. Service was fast and quick and we had a great time. We got the wings and cornbread to share. She ordered the salmon while I ordered the catfish. Both were delicious and hot upon arrival and we got 4 different sides, green beans, yams, Mac n cheese, and collard greens (which were all FANTASTIC). We practically share the sides since we got different ones. 10/10 recommend this place. The vibe was also super cute with the R& B music. We visited back in February and are still talking about this food! I will definitely be back when visiting Atlanta again! read more

I was in town for a work trip and staff decided we wanted soul food! We decided to give Southern Fire Kitchen a try. We attem to make reservations in advance, but there weren't any available. We did a walk in and didn't have any issues being seated. When we arrived there was a bouncer outside that led us in to the person who sat us down. The vibe was just what I needed. Nice decor, TVs to watch the games, and the music was old school and new rnb. The food was so good! I ordered the wings with two sides and added an additional side and cornbread to share with my coworker. The greens had a slight sweetness to it, which I didn't care for, but the hot sauce helped to tame it down. The cornbread was decent. I tried my coworkers catfish and it was cooked to perfection. Im ready to return to GA, just to I can make another stop to Southern Fire Kitchen! read more

I dined here recently with some friends and really enjoyed it. It's located in a large shopping plaza on Buford Highway and plenty of free parking is available. The restaurant is small, so I highly suggest that you make reservations. Upon entering the restaurant, I noticed an armed security guard outside and it threw me off. I get it though, it is Atlanta after all. Our server introduced herself promptly and asked if we wanted bottled water. We all ordered one, but noticed that other people had glasses of ice water. She never gave an alternative option, so we just assumed that they only had bottled water. To start, I ordered a watermelon margarita. It was good. To eat, I ordered the fried whiting with candied yams, collard greens and macaroni and cheese. The fish was fried to perfection and the yams were delicious! I really enjoyed the collard greens as when. The mac & cheese was just ok to me. The played a great selection of music and the service was fine. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks. I'd definitely return. read more

The food here was totally amazing we had the fried chicken and boy was it delicious.Seasoned perfectly fried to perfection,my sides black eyed peas and greens were great and they had little of no stems. Their portions are generous with excellent cornbread as well. The service, excellent once you get seated, I do advise that you make a reservation to lessen your wait time to be seated. The ambiance was great unlike most other places in Atlanta. Southern Fire Kitchen is our new go to when we are in town. read more

The food was amazing! The service was just okay, did a walk in, I was asked if I had reservations, waited about 45 minutes to be seated only to walk in and see several tables available, once seated the waiter informed us that there is no free refills, never heard of that before, thank goodness the food made up for the mishaps, everything was seasoned good. read more

Southern Fire Kitchen - 4 pc Fried Chicken wings, Collard greens, Yams & Mac & cheese - Southern Near Me - Brookhaven, Georgia

I've been here twice now and I do overall enjoy this restaurant but the reviews are correct. The restaurant itself is really nice I came in twice with no reservation and was seated relatively quick. Upon seating our server did take a little to come over (both times) and when they come over they take your order typically at that time (great for me as I was hungry). Only downside is once you get your drinks you probably won't see your server stopping by again until it's time for the food. We were seated next to the kitchen area I believe and there was an awful smell coming from somewhere. I started to get nauseous from it until we moved from sitting there. I'm not sure if it's something in the wall or what but it smelled awful. The food here is always superior I've never had anything I didn't like. The only downside none of the drinks get free refills. The food doesn't typically take long but oftentimes you don't get all that you ask for once it is brought and you have to remind them. We ordered cornbread but didn't get it until after we had our food. I assume it was forgotten. The menu states the included gratuity so be aware when paying. It does show you on the pad though but don't overtip by not paying attention. Our server was attentive when it came time to pay otherwise we had to stop her constantly just for simple things. The two servers that I had both times never came over just to check in. Overall, If you can get past the low grade service this is the place you should go. read more

The music was good though, the place had a good vibe. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but I just couldn't get over the pricey Over cooked dried out salmon and twice fried catfish. We arrived pretty late on a Saturday night and I am assuming they were getting ready to close so they were doing their final orders and it looked like we received the last of what was there. The place look lovely, but the food was completely off. read more

We came for Mother's day weekend to Lafayette location. Got in, already expected to be packed and to wait. After about 1hr+ of wait we came inside and we were told that the manager had called a table but it wasn't ready. After another 10-15 Mins we were sat. As we had time to look at the menu while waiting, we were ready to order everything when the server came to us... another 10+ mins. It was a curse and a blessing because, my cocktail got to the table way before the 3 waters and lemonade we had ordered. It was probably about 40 mins in when the soft drinks arrived to the table. Food was good and the few times we saw the server was nice but it took over an hour to get the food and it did not come complete to the table... so, yes, more wait. It is absurd that 18% gratuity is automatically added. Would I come back? Maybe, on a weekday. I liked the vibes and decorations. read more

Checked this establishment out had. Friday evening 7:15 reservation. When we arrived there was a small line outside of folks who hadn't made a reservation ... so I would recommend doing that before coming. To me that kind speaks to the how good the restaurant may be. We were greeted and seated right away at the bar with a reservation because that's all they had left. Now on my reservation I stated it was our anniversary dinner and requested a good seat. At the bar was cool but definitely not what I would have preferred. The bartender was great, cocktails are good and the food was really good! We enjoyed it all. The green beans were a bit over seasoned was our kinda negative. The fish and chicken were seasoned well and fried crisp! The music and everything g else was a good vibe. I'd give back again. read more

Ok, I feel I let the world down by not taking a picture of my meal. But I didn't so now you have to hear about it. First the place, looks like a small diner/dive bar that is going to be packed and noisy but......nope, thats exactly what it was. The people were nice, service was good, and it seems a bunch of people know about it but a lot more are missing out. We were at a business event and sat and talked after we finished and they didn't get mad or try to rush us, which was very nice. There were 4 of us and everyone was happy with their meal (fried chicken, Mac and cheese and beans; jerk chicken, fried okra and mashed potatoes; salmon, made and cheese and green beans.) That said, I was the clear winner. I had the loaded baked potato with brisket this i cludes a ton of cheese sauce, barbecue sauce, and jalapenos. First, it was huge! There is a pic of the dish on here but I think they found bigger potatoes. Brisket was tender and there was plenty of it. As a matter of fact, I called it a challenge because I was full at 3/4 done but it kept calling me soft and an amateur eater since I was forced to finish it. Great food, I will certainly be back. read more

The service, food and ambience were all fabulous. Waiter was attentive, gave great suggestions. Their Turkey Chops, BBQ Brisket Potato were both fantastic and our son enjoyed his chicken tenders. We tried the strawberry and blueberry lemonades and they were great also, Pricey place to eat and there is an 18% gratuity added to the bill for those lousy tippers to not be able to jerk the staff around lol Jordan did a great job however!!! read more

I recently visited SFK with a girlfriend for a girls night after seeing this place come up multiple times on my TikTok FYP. Here's my take away: Seating Before entering, you have to check-in with security outside and they will see what's available. We entered and were immediately greeted and sat at a high boy table (though we were also offered the bar). The tables at the entrance are in a busy walk through area so just be aware that people may be stopping or standing over you. Cleanliness This place is spotless. They keep cleaning staff constantly cleaning floors and the areas around, so you won't see a thing out of place. I can appreciate this effort. Service Staff/Waitress We had the sweetest waitress named Jessica. She was friendly, upbeat, and just fun. We provided some great food and drink recommendations, but we were less than impressed with the drinks. She also forgot my Sprite I ordered so I was limited to just water all night. I loved her personality, but I have to say, she didn't check in on us as much as I would have liked. In fact, we had to constantly flag her down. Food It took almost an hour for our food. Despite this, the food was great! Per Jessica's recommendation, we did the fried wings (4) with mashed potatoes, greens, black eyed peas and mac and cheese. The chicken was fried well and seasoned. The potatoes were nice and creamy with melted butter on top. The peas were good, though a bit too salty to me. The mac and cheese were *chefs kiss*. The greens were good but had a bit too much of something in them. I couldn't put my finger on it. The highlight was the cornbread. It was swoon-worthy! Get it! Pricing Pricing was actually pretty good all things considered. My whole meal plus the extra side came to $37. The total amount also included 18% gratuity and they offer you the option for additional tip. Overall, it was a nice experience. They had a steady stream of customers, and the food was good. I don't think I'll be in a rush to go back but I did like what I ate and saw. read more

I ordered a fried chicken breast, mac & cheese and black eyed peas. The black eyed peas wasn't edible because of the salt and nothing else was worth writing home to momma about. To be kind, it was was "AVERAGE". For the prices on their menu you would expect a wow factor of flavor. It appeared to be Hispanics in the back of the house which is a first for me when it comes to soul food. read more
