Awesome. Called for a bridal shower reservation and able to book without any problems.

I have to set the scene for you... Picture it, Atlanta. 2026. It's a Friday Night. I got off work early and I was ready to try something new. I was on the phone with Ramsey and as always, I told her to pull up so we could go eat. As she was on her way, I headed to Yelp to figure out where to go and stumbled across Southern Fire Kitchen - Fayetteville. By the time Ramsey pulled up, the pictures from Southern Fire Kitchen - Fayetteville had me extra hungry and I was ready to go. LoL! Getting to Southern Fire Kitchen - Fayetteville was easy as it sits in the central area of Fayetteville. Once there, parking was smooth as the lot had ample spaces. I parked and headed inside as was instantly taken by the ambiance. The dim lighting, highback wall benches, table lighting, and velvet cushions set the tone for a night of fun. Based on the visual alone I had it in my mind that I was coming back here for my next date night. I headed to the hostess stand and was greeted with a smile. I requested a table for two and had a seat as the table was being cleaned off... The wait was only a few minutes and they flew by as the R&B Playlist that was playing was off the hook. I am talking about all the throwback hits from Joe, Jodeci, H-Town, Ashanti and all. I was in a zone. LoL! Once my table was ready, I headed to the table, scanned the menu, and began to scroll. Within minutes we were greeted by Vicky and that is when the night shifted. Vicky is the kind of waitress that reminds you that there is good in the world. Her natural charisma, infectious smile, and love for her customers was so recognizable that all you could do was feel the joy radiating from her as she interacted with you. I mean golly! Vicky is that girl and truly made my experience at Southern Fire Kitchen - Fayetteville a promoter worthy experience. After meeting Vicky, we began to discuss the menu. She suggested I try the Honey Garlic Wings and though I was scared, I trusted her. As such, my order was: Appetizer: Honey Garlic Wings, Cornbread Entree: Krispy Fried Fish w/ Yams and Black Eyed Peas Drink: Sweet Tea Now, let me be clear... Vicky delivered with her suggestion. Them wings was wangannnnnn... I am talkin Good Googa Mooga kinda good. I am talking auntie in the back with the elbow good. Downstairs at the church kitchen kind of good. I don't know who came up with that flavor profile either but babeeeeeeeeeeee, the way that honey and garlic sits on the taste buds should be studied for the effects of pleasure principles on the brain.. Yeah! That kind of good! Wings - 10, Fish - 10, Yams - 5, Black Eyed Peas - 10, Cornbread (Good Gawdddddd) - 10, Overall Score - 10. Not only am I going back, I am running back and I am calling first to make sure Vicky is working anddddddddddd, I want two orders of wings, and an order to go, and an extra order for the next two days.... Matter-of-fact, just lemme get 20 wangs. To Note: Refills are note free - Sip Wisely! read more

This day wasn't a good day!! Parking- It is a fairly large parking lot but it can get full. You will be able to find parking, just may not be close to restaurant door, depending on the day. The business is shared with several other businesses. Ambiance- Nice. It is a nice size but several of the tables are very close. There is an outside eating area and the plus is it's covered. They do have bar seating also. Looked to be a full bar. I came to eat, so I didn't get pics of the establishment, plus me and my homegirl were running our mouths, lol. Food- I'll keep this short and sweet. No side salads available, so I has to get a 11 dollar bowl of lettuce(Ceasar Salad).... it was cool. I went with there Shrimp and Lobster Cajun Pasta, I do believe it was called. I was not happy with it! The Pasta and sauce had no seasoning, it just hit my palate with just spicy kick, no flavor. My Lobster just gave what it was, the shrimp had some flavor that was ok. More than anything else in the bowl. I put everything together for a bite...shrimp, lobster, sauce and pasta, it still didn't pull it all together for me as a yummy Cajun Pasta.... still no flavor. I was really disappointed, I was so excited about it. I even had my homegirl girl taste it and she was like... no, no. Service- Our waitress really nice and sweet, once she came to see about us. It was a busy day, so she managed her tables well. She checked on us and asked how did we like everything, I let her know I wasn't happy with it, it didn't have flavor, she asked me what do I want to put on it. I said I don't know, because I don't know what they use because it was more than just bring me some salt. The young lady then says "let me see something and I'll bring you something back". She never came back. I was stuck with it, she never came with a solution. Unfortunately, I did end up immediately going to grab a bite to eat after learning there establishment(crazy)! Now though I walked away unhappy and had to spend more money to grab something else to eat. I said, I could go back and just know to try something different(this is also what the waitress told me) I lead with this was my experience because I do know people who've enjoyed everything they've ordered eachtime. They each did say they felt they were pricey, not to the point of they wouldn't go back for that reason and I could agree. So if I ever go back, hopefully I can have a better experience to share. read more

Service was outstanding! I believe her name was Lee. She managed our large group flawlessly. The food overall was pretty good. The baked turkey wing was not as meaty as I expected and tasted peppery, the lemon peppery chicken wings had so much lemon that it tasted sour. The collard greens I expected to taste turkey did not. The baked Mac & Cheese, Yams, cornbread, catfish, shrimp, jerk chicken turkey chops seasoned and prepared well; would order again. I appreciated that their drinks made in house were not too sweet. Would definitely come back. read more

Southern Fire Kitchen - Beef short rib, macaroni and cheese, turkey greens and yams. In the back is the Cajun lobster pasta and turkey chops. - Southern Near Me - Fayetteville, Georgia

First impression visit on a saturday night around 6:00PM. Located in a suite with glass windows. Red, black, white, and yellow sign. Free parking lot. Easy Parking. I had the 3 piece lemon pepper wings, lobster pasta, and money shot drink for $58. Auto gratuity and taxes made it to $73. Pros The food is great. Our waitress was excellent as well. 10/10 customer service. Cons The pricing is high, the menu is limited, a 2 hour wait time for food, and there's no free refills on any drinks (soda and juice included) . The lobster pasta was good, but not good enough for me to get again. Would I Recommend: No, based off their wait time and no free refill policy alone. This is Atlanta- I can find another soul food spot easy. read more

5/16/2026... Husband experience- My husband and family, dined in for his brother's birthday dinner. My husband ordered fish with string beans and yellow rice. I didn't attend, because I just had surgery and is resting. They all gave the restaurant a 5 out of 5. They said the food was delicious and would be back soon. My experience- I ordered the turkey wing dinner with mac and cheese and collard greens. The turkey wing has a kick to it (spicy), but everything was delicious. 5 out of 5 for me too on the food. Yummy! The restaurant gives you alot of food, so I was able to save food for leftovers. I'll definitely be able to dine in , in a few weeks. My surgery was minor! :-) read more

The restaurant is new and has an industrial vibe. We were seated quickly, but a lot of people were waiting and there was not really a good place for them to wait. It was a bit awkward. Our waitress was great! I hate I didn't get her name...but she looked just like the actress Regina King! She was very thorough in terms of making sure we understood what to expect. No drink refills on drinks, etc. I really appreciated this. If she hadn't warned me and I found out after the fact, I would have been very upset. (Southern Fire--you should reconsider. At least offer refills on tea. You charge $3.50 a glass for something that costs you maybe $.40 to make. You are losing money here). Ok, so I was feeling some trepidation from the start...when the food came, my concerns were assuaged. Delicious fried chicken, shrimp, beef short ribs, pasta! The salmon bites were a standout as well as the collards. Honeee! Everyone was happy with their entree's and sides. Our waiters accurately advised that the food was well seasoned--not salty, but seasoned. We splurged on red velvet creamer for dessert. It did not have the rich moistness that I expect from RVC, but perhaps it was a fluke. Overall, I was very pleased. This little oasis in the desert that is Fayetteville's food scene is a much needed and very welcome addition! read more

The food was really good. I loved the macaroni and cheese! The food overall was well seasoned and they got every order correct on a party of 11. It can be slow at times but the servers are always walking around doing something, so I can't complain. Prices are little higher than expected but after eating and experiencing the service, I would go back. There is onsite parking but it filled up Quick. The music was great all night and it's nice to have a spot like this in Fayetteville. read more

Southern Fire Kitchen - SFK Chicken Pasta - Southern Near Me - Fayetteville, Georgia

If you never been to SFK, you are truly missing out. Last week was my first time at the Fayetteville location and it didn't disappoint. I went during happy hour (which I didn't know was a thing). Drink and appetizers specials until 7 PM! The drink were bomb! I ordered an appetizer as my entree and just added a side. The food was delicious. The vibe was nice. This location (to me) is bigger than Brookhaven, but still has a homey feel. Our waitress was very friendly and offered phenomenal service. This is one I was definitely keep in my rotation. You should too! read more

Southern Fire Kitchen - Salmon Bites, Broccoli, Sweet Potatoes. Mango & Watermelon Margs - Southern Near Me - Fayetteville, Georgia

Nice decor but the music is too loud. I like a little background music but not so loud I can hardly hear the people sitting at my table. I order the BBQ beef short ribs. This was basically a chuck roast slow cooked with BBQ sauce poured on top. The roast had a lot of fat on top. I had a side of mac & cheese and greens. The Mac & cheese was not bad. The greens had too much of the stalks in it and they needed more time to cook. I will say their drinks were on point...strong, like I like my drink. One more thing, this may have been a one off, but towards the end of our meal we started to feel the temperature in restaurants starting to get warm/hot. I don't know if they keep the AC high so it doesn't come on that often, but we noticed it was gettin hot in there. I would go back to try the lamb chops but our waitress told me they are well cooked. I don't think I want an over cooked lamb chop. read more

Everything was hot, seasoned well and tasted great, I can't wait to go back. Truly a great Date Night... Definitely a 5 stars read more

BEWARE, this restaurant does not use any safety measures to protect your food from tampering when you order from DoorDash. You could at least staple the bag or tape it so I can feel confident that the random delivery driver didn't do anything to my food. After I received my food, I immediately lost my appetite. Paying $38 for 1 turkey wing and 2 sides is insane. I also ordered the $10 yams that I did not receive. I called the restaurant to complain but the manager was too busy to take my phone call. read more

We celebrated my mom's birthday here and it was a smash! The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The food was amazing! Shout out to our server, Victoria! She was very patient and efficient. Also very friendly! Her service came with a smile and we had a party of 15 but she never once lost patience and every order was accurate the first time! I was impressed. I had the catfish with mac and cheese and collards. I also had the honey garlic wings. Both were delicious and cooked to perfection. My husband and son both had lamb chops. They also had mac/Chz and collards. They said the lamb chops were great!! We all enjoyed our food and I will be going back! If you're ever in Fayetteville, don't miss out on this treasure!! read more

The "vibe" is nice for young people. But the food is really good. Our server was nice but he was a little in the weeds. The prices are a little much but comparable to a lot if the restaurants now. I ordered turkey wing and it was large but was only the wing and tip which was more skin than meat. My collards, sweet potatoes and corn bread was good. We would go again. read more

My first time at this establishment and the food was seasoned well. When we arrived we were told it's an hour wait due to large parties being served. We waited about 30 minutes and were called to sit down. I had the fried shrimp, Mac and cheese and collard greens. Everything was seasoned well. My drink was a blueberry lemon drop with tequila. It was tasty as well. The corn bread was super dry with honey drizzled on top. My date had the grilled shrimp meal with green beans and black eyed peas. He enjoyed his food as well. Will definitely come back to try something different. read more

I haven't had a bad meal and I've eaten there at least 10 times but a week ago my cousin had the yellow rice and jerk chicken, which in her words was gross and salty! From the looks of things the rice looked soft and not appealing and the chicken was black from way too much jerk seasoning! When we notified the waiter he responded that we should have said something sooner but he will let the manager know! He also proceeded to say since we are Jamaicans we shouldn't expect the jerk chicken to taste like authentic jerk chicken and that the restaurant caters to a certain class of people that don't mind the food being too salty or too sweet!! From the rip the manager Shay came over with an attitude! My cousin explained to her what the issue was and her facial expressions was that off disgust! I told her that I'm a regular with my hubby and daughter we support black business so we would expect her to make it right if not I'll give a review on Google. She responded with one thing doesn't have to do with the other! I responded excuse me it absolutely does! Then she says to me "are you threatening me"? I responded, I beg you pardon, I'm not in the business of threatening anyone in which she proceeded to apologize! In my head keep your apology! Now we wonder why businesses fail?? Prime example of not knowing how to treat your customers! Never once have I been disrespected in a white establishment!! Dealing with our own kin folk shouldn't have to be like this!! On a lighter note, shout out to Dawn & Ayana for excellent service when they wait on us!! The manager could learn a thing or two from both these young ladies!! read more

Thank you so much the food! Is absolutely wonderful. We'll be going back very soon. Taking my dad for his birthday.. read more

I sat at the bar at Southern Fire Kitchen and planned to order the cornbread, but they were out. No worries though--everything else made up for it. My bartender, Shea, was cool and easy to talk to. She mentioned she doesn't eat meat but said a lot of people love the short rib, so I gave it a try--and I can see why. It was really good and came with mashed potatoes and collard greens. Everything on the plate was solid. Great food, good conversation, and I'll definitely be back for the cornbread. read more

Very good food and drinks and music and waitresses are very perlite. I will eat there again.

We came to the Fayetteville location on a very busy Mother's Day and drove almost an hour to get there. We normally go to the Brookhaven location, so finding out there was one closer with less traffic made us excited and let's just say the drive was definitely worth it! Even without a reservation on one of their busiest days, the Owner Trice showed us so much grace after hearing how far we drove and was able to get us seated. The service was amazing and our waiters Winter and Darren were so attentive and welcoming. I had the mac and cheese, collard greens, and turkey wing. My husband had the fried chicken wings, yellow rice, yams, and cornbread. Everything was seasoned to perfection truly 10/10. Next time, I definitely want to reserve the patio because it looked really nice. If you're having doubts about coming here, don't -- the food and hospitality were absolutely worth it! read more

So.. my husband and I have been wanting to try southern fire for awhile now and let's say we were extremely disappointed in the taste of the food . I loved how they honored our reservation at 4:00 pm when doors opened . If you didn't have a reservation you had to wait for all the people who had a reservation to be seated . The vibes were amazing. Music had me grooving and they had the game on so my husband could enjoy that . Services was fast ! Our waitress iishas was amazing checking on us very attentive. Now here is where the disappointment set in . We ordered . I got the chicken wings Mac n cheese and black eyed peas . He got the lamb chops greens and potatoes. And the kid got a smash burger with Mac n cheese and broccoli. Oh and some cornbread . Now I am not a person who likes chicken skin so I expect for meat to be seasoned .. it was bland as hell ., the skin had all the flavor, ding get me wrong it was a good flavor, but I don't do skin.. the black eyed peas first bite was amazing but as I dug in it became extremely salty . I was not a fan of the Mac n cheese at all. I don't know the type of cheeses they used but it wasn't for me and it was salty as well. My husband recently tried lamb chops at another restaurant and loved them, he was turned off by the lamb chops here . He didn't care for the greens or potatoes. I liked the potatoes, should have gotten that instead of that Mac n cheese. The kid said the smash burger was good but didn't care for the broccoli or Mac n cheese . The CORNBREAD!! Oh now that was delicious. Finally, I ordered a shot of repo teramana. However you spell it ... I'm 100% sure what I received was not what I ordered . That shit had me sick for 2 days . I doubt we will ever go back . read more

It was our first time visiting SFK but we were expecting more of an upscale atmosphere since we were celebrating our anniversary. The music was loud which made it difficult to have a conversation. The fried whiting with collard greens and macaroni & cheese was good. My husband thought the lamb chops were a little tough and he loves cornbread which usually comes with a meal but there is an additional $3 charge to get two large slices. Overall, the service and food was good and tasty. read more

Party of 2- went here with no reservations on a Sunday, it was packed. The hostess offered the bar and the patio to keep us from waiting. It was too cool out, there was a regular wait time of about 20-30 minutes. No biggie. Our waitress ran down the menu and stated that everything was good. And it was. I had fried chicken, Mac n cheese, yams and the honey cornbread with raspberry lemonade. The portions were decent. The tables are small if you're seated for 2 , other than that it is aesthetically pleasing. Parking is free and the place is easy to get to. read more

I understand now why the servers attitude was a bit much, the response to my review was not taken kindly. Managers response was very ghetto to say the least " everything aint for everybody" the purpose of a review is the take away of what can improve on! Not respond in offense! Customer service needs an adjustment , food delivery needs to be timed, not offering a refill on a fountain drink as long as you wait for food is crazy!!! Again the food presentation was cute, the overall taste was sub par! And to respond "keep catering " I will, with seasoned food and Great customer service! I stay booked and busy! I love to support and find great food spots, but ummmmm maybe the other location is better. read more

The food was excellent! A go to spot for soul food. The food is worth the wait. I look forward to visiting again soon
