Southern Fire Kitchen: Southern Comfort at Its Best! This was my second time visiting Southern Fire Kitchen, and it was just as amazing as the first! Gabby was our waitress, and she was fantastic--super friendly and kept everything flowing smoothly. We sat in the back area - I don't remember there being one my first time coming but it really opens up the space. Decor and wall art was amazing and on theme. 2 bars and ample seating. For starters, we had the biscuits--fluffy, buttery, and just the right touch to kick off the meal. For my main, I got the fried whole wings with yams and mac and cheese--and every bite was SO GOOD. The wings were seasoned perfectly, and the sides were full of that homemade, soulful flavor you just can't fake. IYKYK. Southern Fire Kitchen has officially earned a regular spot in my rotation! read more

High price point, small portions. While the food was very well prepared and well seasoned, the cost is disproportionate for what you get. Restraunt also charges automatic gratuity regardless of the party size, hiking up the cost and giving very poor service. read more

Service was ok, Mac & cheese was dry but that chicken and greens was great, I would go back for those two things alone. No free refills so drinks could also get pricey. read more

**FAYETTEVILLE LOCATION** I visited the FAYETTEVILLE location on 1/10/2026 to celebrate my 51st birthday. I read alot of the reviews but I guess I didn't read enough..smh First parking is TERRIBLE. Don't recommend going here on Friday or Saturday night being another restaurant is right next door. Second, my family and I had a reservation for 7pm and still waited almost 45mins before being seated. The hostess told me that we couldn't wait inside due to it being g a fire hazard BUT then allowed other people to sit and wait for their tables..WOW! I asked her about this and she responded, oh she is just putting her shoes on. But there were 4 other people sitting as well. We finally get seated and immediately put our drink and food orders in. I ordered lamb chops (VERY FATTY), garlic mashed potatoes (tasted like instant..no hint of garlic AT ALL) and greens..they weren't good either. Other family members ordered the following: Jerk chicken..very dry, Mac n cheese (3 out of 10) chicken wings( didn't taste like they were seasoned) Smashed burger..that was good Catfish..aint nooo way that was catfish! I was born and raised in TN and been cooking all types of fish and that definitely wasn't catfish. My son took 2 bites and that was it. Yams..were very good! Lobster bites..very good! Cocktail drinks - Lemon drop..used too much lemon juice and the Georgia peach "something" that drink was very good!! Ambiance..4 out of 10. Service..Hostess..2 out of 10 Waiter..9 out of 10 Overall, I wont return here. The food was VERY overpriced and not worth the price of how it tasted. And yes I spoke to the on-site manager and told her ALL of this. read more

It's really hard to get a 5 out of 5 from me because I'm a stickler for good customer service and food that comes out hot! However, let me just say Southern Fire Kitchen did not disappoint in either area. Made same day reservations and was promptly seated upon arrival. I sat on the smaller side so I didn't get a view of their bigger dining area but I'll be back again to see it. Music selection was great and at a decent level that allowed me to still hear my conversation. Decor on the bar side was simple but mature... and no green wall! At least on the smaller side. Anaya our server was a sweet heart. Thanks again for making our first visit a pleasant one! Now on to the food. Ordered the lemon pepper wings as a starter with a side of the honey garlic sauce. (Garlic Honey Sauce was tasty) Chicken wings were HOT, fried and season to perfection...that emphasis on hot is important as food at many establishments have the tendency to come out lukewarm or cold. For the entree I ordered the catfish dinner although they mistakenly gave me whiting but tasted like swai. I didn't bother sending it back but I really wish they did get it right the first time; nonetheless the fish was HOT and seasoned to perfection, but not fried as hard as I would have liked. All the sides were HOT Mac and Cheese, delicious; collard greens, delicious; garlic mashed potatoes with that melted butter, delicious; green beans were a bit heavily seasoned, but delicious nonetheless and finally the yams were not my favorite ... I'm not a huge fan of nutmeg and the nutmeg was a bit overpowering for me. Last but not least the honey butter cornbread were moist , lightly sweetened and delicious ! If it doesn't come out glistening with the honey butter you won't get the full experience. Despite the minor hiccups my experience truly was a 5/5 and I look forward to going back to try some other items. read more

Food arrived quickly. Hot. Salmon was cooked a bit long so it was dry. Despite that, everything had a great taste. Server asked if I wanted cornbread, never mentioned it was an up charge. Luckily it was delicious. Not sure it was worth $3 though - without advising first. Restaurant is small, but they do have the other part. Reservations on busy nights are encouraged. read more

We visited this restaurant all the way from California, for my daughter's birthday and everything was delicious! We were seated immediately and our food was served in a reasonable time. Our server was sweet and the prices weren't bad. 10/10 would definitely recommend! read more

The food was good when we finally got it. Restaurant was crowded and hot. Not sure if the ac was working. Trying to eat hot food in a hot restaurant was disappointing. The servicer, Robin, only checked on us either when someone was being seated in the area or the large group sitting next to us. No offer for additional drinks, water or nothing. An appetizer was brought to our table that we didn't order and I was charged for it. 18% gratuity plus a tip was added for less than adequate service. If I visit again, will definitely get take out. read more

Southern Fire Kitchen - The charged appetizer. - Southern Near Me - Brookhaven, Georgia

This place was just okay. It was overhyped in my opinion. While the atmosphere and ambience were nice there were a couple things that were just unpleasant. First- no refills on drinks... most places you go offer refills so i found it odd. Then while taking my order the server started having a full blown conversation with another server and I hadn't even finished my order yet Then, as I went to the bathroom I realized there was a line and only one functioning bathroom. We ordered three dishes- fried whiting fish with Mac n cheese and broccoli, Cajun lobster pasta, and the beef short rib with fries and broccoli. While eating the fish we found bones still left in it and the coating was bland overall but the Mac n cheese and broccoli were very good! The lobster on the pasta was over cooked and very chewy. The noodles were cooked good but pasta sauce was just okay. The rib and the fries were very good but it only came with a singular rib on the plate. The presentation was nice but the taste fell short in my opinion. For the prices- I was disappointed honestly. read more

Great food and service. The only issue is they don't provide free refills on standard drinks read more

Hands down, the best food we've had in Atlanta so far! From the moment you walk in, the upbeat music sets a lively vibe, and the restaurant's decor feels dark and mysterious, but with fun, playful touches that make it so inviting. The service was incredibly speedy, and the portion sizes are *massive*! You could easily split a plate with someone and still be full. I ordered the chicken wing plate, and my friend got the fried shrimp plate--both were absolutely delicious. But the standout for me was the catfish I added on. It was perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and when paired with hot sauce? Chef's kiss! A big shout-out to the owner and the hardworking staff--y'all are crushing it. Southern Fire Kitchen is a must-visit whenever I'm back in town. Keep up the amazing work! read more

Food was soooo good. Probably the best loaded Alfredo potato I've ever had. I'm going to order one right after this review. The service was fast, and the staff was really helpful with any questions and just had a good energy. Waited about 15 minutes, food was fresh and hot. The ambiance inside was nice, although I took to go. I'll be sure to dine in soon. read more

Visiting from out of town and was craving soul food. My friend suggested we try this place. We came for an early dinner on a Saturday, it was a short 30 minute wait so we decided to wait it out. Reading the reviews I was worried we'd be either waiting forever and/or the customer service would be shaky. Neither was the case, surprisingly! We were greeted right away and got our drinks very quickly. I ordered the buffalo shrimp to start and the catfish with black eyed peas, mac n cheese and the cornbread. The buffalo shrimp didn't come with a sauce, which I thought was odd. Not even a ranch? Black eyed peas were fresh, hot and tasty. The catfish didn't appear to be as fresh, it didn't have a crunch to it, though the flavor was ok. It definitely needed hot sauce and tartar sauce since it was dried out. The mac n cheese had a nice presentation, but inside the noodles were dry. Unlike my friend, hers was really cheesy and moist. Lastly, the cornbread was just ok. Nothing really to write home about. I do think this place is worth a try, but not sure if I'd add this to my places to visit every time I'm in town.

The service was second to none, I forgot her name but I will remember her face. The atmosphere was amazing, the food and drinks were fantastic. It was my idea to come to southern fire kitchen, I saw the menu on social media, my first impression was the menu pictures look good enough to eat. The menu did not disappoint. The food taste as good as it looked.. My name is Denise. I'm a very satisfied customer and I will be back. .THANK YOU read more

The food taste just like soul food so mad at myself because the picture of my food disappeared but it was amazing! The food really sung to me, I had the chicken wings which where hot, crispy, and flavorful paired with macaroni and greens, the greens were okay but the macaroni was amazingggg, one time for the cheese pull. For the drink I had a strawberry lemonade which was delicious and my sis had a strawberry lemon drop which was great as well. We will be back the next time we come to Atlanta.

Great food. The price was a little high, but that's typical for the restaurant industry now. Will go back.

6/28/25: First time visiting. FYI: Make sure your party arrives early or on time, you will not be seated until everyone is present. There is an automatic gratuity added to the bill. Atmosphere: Nice, clean establishment, plenty of parking - located in a shopping area. Front part of the restaurant was cool compared to the back side of the restaurant - extremely hot. Advice: Wear lite clothing and bring a fan! Service: China was our server, very knowledgeable about the menu, made recommendations, and very attentive. Top notch customer service. Food: Very well seasoned to perfection! I ordered the fried salmon (delicious), collard greens (seasoned but stalks were overbearing), Mac n' cheese (delicious), and honey butter cornbread (very moist). Overall: I would recommend but, again, dress very lite with a fan as an accessory or order your meal to-go. read more

I wanted to love it but... The food pictures posted online looked sooo good. I just knew we were going to dig into some good ole southern food. Sadly, everything delivered was flavorless and mediocre at best (with the exception of the Mac & cheese...which was really good). Appetizer: We ordered fried lobster bites which tasted like frozen Long John Silver shrimp (heavy on the breaded crust with a rubbery shrimp-flavored center...no way this was fresh lobster). Drinks: I had a Don Julio Lemon Drop Martini...I didn't even drink it all...very meh My hubby had a Mojito and he enjoyed it. Entrees: I had the lamb chops with black eyed peas and collard greens. I wanted to love it but... 1. The lamb chops had no flavor and were rubbery (they weren't grilled or seared). Edible, but not worth the cost (although a bit less expensive than most restaurants for lamb chop entree's). The black eyed peas and greens were equally bland and disappointing. 2. My Hubby had the chicken wings, Mac & cheese, collard greens and yams. He said the yams and mac & cheese were delicious, however that's where the positives ended as his chicken was bland along with the tough, flavorless collard greens. 3. My son ordered fried chicken breast with mac & cheese. He enjoyed the mac & cheese but stated the chicken breast was flavorless. 4. Ambiance: very nicely decorated with an upbeat vibe where music is playing in the background. 5. Service: Entire staff (including the security guard) were very courteous, timely and professional). 6. Cost: very reasonable prices All and all...If the kitchen can figure out a good seasoning process for all menu items this place would be a 4. If you're in the area it wouldn't hurt to stop by just to check them out for yourself. Just be sure to bring your own seasoning and you should be fine read more

Southern Fire Kitchen serves up southern and soul food classics in Brookhaven within the Northeast Plaza shopping center. I was excited about trying some of Buford Highway's black-owned eateries during Black Restaurant Week and came early on a Thursday evening. The crowd started growing as I was finishing my meal. The restaurant interior lives up to its "Good Vibes" motto. It is a versatile restaurant, where you can eat with family one day for dinner and enjoy a late-night lounge feel with friends on another night. My meal came out within an appropriate timeframe and I was provided with friendly service at the Bar. I ordered: The Morning After: Champagne, Vodka, Chambord, Lime Juice, Simple Syrup Grilled Salmon with Green Beans and Mashed Potatoes (sides recommended by the bartender) Side of grilled shrimp Peach Cobbler The salmon and shrimp were well prepared with a subtle seasoning, which I appreciated. The mashed potatoes were solid and oozed with butter. The green beans were well seasoned and I was thrilled not to have to ask for the usual hot sauce. I am not a peach cobbler fan. But I really liked the peach cobbler, and it was gone within minutes of arriving home and my husband spying the refrigerator. I love a bread forward cobbler, and this one had a nice lingering hint of spice. read more

We had a minor plumbing job, so we called someone we know in Johns Creek. It involved replacing a toilet and a water expansion tank. He charged us $2000.00. I was outraged. We paid him , but just want to put the word out for anyone needing plumbing work not to use him. I think he's a thief and dishonest. His name is Morteza Sadi! And after he was done we found out he is not a licensed plumber. read more

The food and service were amazing! We were given a recommendation and we were not disappointed. The Mac & cheese, fried fish, fried okra and the peach cobbler were amazing! You can come alone or with a group, and the staff are friendly. read more

The service was really good. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. I started with the lobster bites. They were a little salty and were heavily breaded but it was real lobster and not bad. I had the strawberry lemon drop and found it to be too sweet with little liquor. I had the salmon with string beans and mashed potato's. It was very good, everything was season well although the salmon was a little greasy. All in all a good experience and I would definitely come back. read more

Unfortunately they don't have any vegetation options. Been hearing a lot of great things about this restaurant but I can't even enjoy it. I wouldn't have ordered a drink if I couldn't get food, especially when I was hungry. Not even a salad is vegetarian. The bartender went to ask the kitchen and this was the response "nothing is vegetarian and everything is cooked in the same grease" So...no separate fry grease - for the okra or fries - which a lot of restaurants are doing. Only salad option is a Cesar - which has anchovies in the dressing. Bummer! read more

Well when I say this put my on my back, it put me down. Normally when I choose to dine out or order takeout I always finish my food and look for more. Southern fire kitchen is truly southern food I couldn't even finish i order the turkey chops with Mac and cheese and their mashed garlic potato's . And there delicious honey butter corn bread. I couldn't even finish everything. That food was amazing seasoned greatly , hot and just damn delicious. Me and my friends were seated almost immediately. The drinks came fast and so did our starters. Our entrees did take about 40 minutes it I was 100% work the wait. The restaurant was beautiful the music was great and the vibes were truly amazing you could see yourself and everyone else around just truly enjoying themselves and the food. Now the only thing I can take away is that there ate no. Refills for the drinks. It doesn't state it on the menu nor did the waitress but it's a lesson learned. All in all it's definitely worth it , because they charge you for everything! Can't wait to go back and try something else ! read more

Visiting from out of town, this place started showing up on my social media page, so I decided to check it out. There was a 45-hour wait (which was cool) The host was nice and seated us at our table. The restaurant played GREAT music and the establishment was very clean (including the restroom.) Once we were seated, our server (Yaya J) came over to greet us then stated that she would be back. It took her awhile to come back, but when she did, she took our drink and food order. My son decided that he wanted a Sprite instead of the Lemonade & I caught her to tell her before she poured it, yet she brought him the lemonade anyway! Speaking of the Lemonade, they should keep it in a cooler prior to serving because our lemonades weren't served cold (even with Ice) Our food came out quickly & FRESH! The presentation was on point! However our server was not attentive as the other servers. I see why they charge an 18% gratuity, because she wouldn't have gotten that $17.48. If you don't mind (not getting your change back from your cash payment) USE A DEBIT or CREDIT Card, because they don't take CHANGE & our server told us to have a good night and kept my sons change! We won't be back!!! read more

The food was good we all enjoyed meals! The collards had a tad too much vinegar for me but I ate them all. Too the yams and cornbread were tasty. $8 per side feel a bit pricey but if you just get veggies it is as much as a platter. The prices may be too high for many so having regulars help them navigate successful outcomes and the taste will bring some back. Music was great but a little loud on a Monday night! The security begged questions but I am use to it in Atlanta not so much my out of town guests lol. Worth a stop in to enjoy cocktails and good food! enjoy the healthy portions and friendly servers! read more

Even though you make a reservation. You still had to wait 20 mins and just for the hostess to walk off while talking. Got seated and it took the waitress 15 mins to come over. Took 45 mins to get water and drinks. Food came out fresh and hot which was a plus I think waitress and hostess need a little more training. Customer service is a 3 food is a 9 read more
