Good: The bun was beautifully buttered and toasted Bad: Crab cakes were basic and probably frozen... Ugly: Market price was absurd! read more

Phenomenal experience and cuisine. First time dining and it will not be our last. Being a SC native, I felt the food lived up to the hype. The southern egg rolls were 5 stars! We had a large variety of entrees and were able to share a bite with members of my party. The portion size was excellent for the price. A very nice ambiance and not very noisy. Tommy, our server, gave great menu suggestions and was very attentive to our needs. He also had a great personality. The manager and hostess were very friendly and made you feel welcomed. Great hospitality and food! Highly recommend. read more

Well, I can't tell you about the food because I couldn't eat here. I wanted to eat in a booth as a single woman . There were 2 booths open and I asked if they were reserved , the hostess said no but, you need at least 2 people to be able to sit in a booth. I could understand if the booths were reserved but they were not and it was around 3 in the afternoon on a Saturday and was not busy . Make this make sense . .. this is poor customer service at its finest and as a business woman I chose to take my money elsewhere. read more

Ambiance was good. Food was not the greatest. White meat fried chicken was not cooked completely. Several of us had to send back because the breast was raw inside. Yuk read more

This was my first time at Southern Kitchen on a Sunday and the wait was about 2 hours long. Luckily, we saw an availability at the bar after about 20 mins of waiting. The waitress was eating finger foods while serving and didn't bother to wash her hands while making our drinks and bringing our bread we were instantly concerned. We asked for new bread and got new bread .. I hope lol. I ordered the Shane's strawberry lemonade and it was pretty good. I ordered Buffalo shrimp as an appetizer and let me tell you how FLAVORFUL they were. The best thing I had that day !!!! For my meal, I ordered the Turkey wings that was smothered in turkey gravy with greens and macaroni. I also got a side of rice and gravy. My turkey was sooooo tough and completely inedible. My sides were pretty good except the rice was half hard half soft. I told my waitress about my wings and she gave me a new batch, but they weren't the best either. My friend ordered the catfish and she said it was good. I would definitely try this place again and order something else. read more

We were seated at 11:00 am when they opened. I went to the ladies' room. It was neat and clean. The restaurant was neat and pristine clean. The waitress was knowledgeable about the menu and responsive. We lingered a little and we didn't feel rushed. The food was excellent. I had the fried shrimp for the appetizer, fried catfish greens and mac n cheese. Someone ordered corn bread, it was okay. Overall, I rate 5 stars for Black History month. It's a black owned business. The dining room is huge. It's good for a group. I dined with 5 other ladies. Everyone raved about the food and the service. read more

From the moment we walked into the restaurant we knew it was going to be a great experience. The staff was friendly & welcoming and the food was even better. Hubs enjoyed pork chops, while I enjoyed shrimp & grits. It was a quite a treat. read more

First of all. When it comes to my people ? We gone show out !!!! And southern kitchen did just that !!!! The atmosphere was amazing I felt right at home. It was my 20th birthday and this was my first time. I order smothered pork chops with gravy and onions. with Mac & cheese, corn bread and collard greens and a strawberry lemonade. Everything was delicious and it was even better the next day as left overs. The music was giving jazz but me and my sister were playing guess the song and had a ball lol. 12/10 recommend especially for birthday or family gatherings. I also met a lovely woman who has the same birthday as me. And the ladies restroom was my absolute favorite because I love Marilyn Monroe and they had her pictures all over the wall. So cute !!! read more

Had lunch today at Southern Kitchen with friends. We were greeted by a very pretty, friendly hostess and seated immediately since I had made reservations. The decor is quite beautiful.Our server, Alexis, was excellent, and so was our delicious lunch!! Absolutely yummy! Hot and flavorful! Lynne, the manager, came around to make sure all was well. Lovely lady and very on top of things! Great restaurant and we will definitely go back!! read more

The food was really good and so was the service. I got the smothered pork chops (fried) with greens and candied yams. I had to deduct a star because the cell service is terrible (they have wifi but not for customers) and I wasn't advised that ordering extra gravy would be an up charge. read more

I visited this establishment for the first time today. I drove 2 hours to check it out. From the moment I stepped inside I felt welcomed. The hostess was friendly and showed me to my table within seconds. The music and vibe of the establishment is top tier. My waiter was quick with taking my order and getting my appetizer out quickly. The food was good and came out hot and fresh. I would return again to try something else. There is only street parking in this neighborhood though and so that did suck a bit trying to find a spot but it worked out. read more

Wow!!! The food was amazing! When I saw "reservation only" on the website, I knew then it was going to be amazing and it didn't disappoint! The portions are large so plan accordingly! The meal starts with 2 "jiffy-ish" cornbread muffins and melted honey butter. They absolutely melt in your mouth. We also got the fried okra and I'm normally not a fan but this was fried perfectly and not slimy inside! For the entree, my son got the chicken & waffles. The waffle is plate size and the chicken strips are as long as your arm! Ha! Deep fried to perfection! I got the Fried chicken, I mean why wouldn't I .., they are known for it. The breast & wing were so crispy that you could hear yourself crunch it! And inside juicy and tender. I got the mac & cheese and collard greens. The Mac & Cheese had me asking for more, however the collard greens could have been cooked a bit longer but great flavor! As a reminder, make a reservation & yes it's worth it! read more

Great food, great service, decent prices and that mac an cheese was on point! Definitely will go back up to Richmond just to go there

Southern Kitchen was DELICIOUS! The name describes this place very well. We visited the old location downtown and I will say I did not like the parking situation or location at all. They have since relocated and I look forward to visiting the new location. Upon entering this place was beautiful and nicely decorated. Unfortunately the seats where we were seated were dirty (we arrived at opening). The menu nor the food was a disappointment! That food was so good, I was dancing in my seat. It reminded me of our family get togethers when everyone brings their best dish, or dinner at grandmas! The portion size was great along with the taste, so the price was justified. And they get bonus points for those amazing cornbread starters! Recommend read more

My sister was at her chemo treatment and really wanted meatloaf from Southern Kitchen, so I ordered it for her to give her some comfort during a difficult day. Unfortunately, the meatloaf that arrived was burnt and dry, she couldn't even eat it. It was really upsetting, epically because she was looking forward to that meal so much. I hope the restaurant takes more care with their food in the future, epically when people are counting on it for comfort and nourishment. read more

I ordered whiting because I do not like the sometimes earthy, muddy toast of catfish. I was wrong. My guests catfish was perfect. My whiting though perfectly prepared tasted muddy. I am allergic to soy and was to,d they did not fry in soybean oil. Something had soy because I was sick as we left restaurant. My main problem was the service. Plate as served with small slice of lemon and no cocktail and no tartar sauce. Our waitress was seldom seen. It took a long time to get tartar sauce and did not even bother to request lemon wedge. I ordered a drink which never arrived. When she finally appeared, she said I did not order drink. I ordered again but it appeared just before food arrived. The bill was a shock. My guest off menu drink special which no one liked cost $25. read more

I was excited to try Southern Kitchen while on a day trip to Richmond. I think they're reservation only , and I was easily able to make a reservation about a week before. We arrived just after opening, so it was quiet, but the space was clean, inviting, and there was a great Playlist going. We had the cornbread, which comes complimentary and was delicious, as well ae shrimp and grits, catfish nuggets , and the southern egg roll. My favorite bites were the cornbread and the southern roll. Unfortunately, the shrimp and grits were disappointing. There was waaaay too much cheese on top of the grits and it wasn't properly mixed in. I ended up pushing globs of cheese to the side as I ate the meal. If I go back I'd definitely try the friend chicken and a few sides because the little sample I got from the egg roll was delicious. Service was 10/10! read more

Visited here last week for a birthday dinner. First of all, the space and ambience of the new location is amazing. Truly beautiful and plenty of room to breathe. Also love that there's ample parking available. Our waiter was pleasant and kind, however, he kept disappearing for long periods of time and when he would finally come back, he had forgotten what we asked him to bring the last time he came to our table. I get possibly being overwhelmed and perhaps they were short staffed but being that pricing of the food is not cheap, I expect upscale service to go along with it. The food was ok, but not up to par with the pricing. I had the blackened catfish with collard greens and mac & cheese. The catfish was greasy and salty, the collard greens were under seasoned and not cut up enough. The mac & cheese was really the only thing on my plate that I'd definitely get again if I chose to return. It took our waiter nearly 30 minutes to come with our check and when he did, our party was all charged a portion of the cornbread appetizer that only one person at our table ordered. We wondered if the waiter got us confused with another table's request. I heard great things about this restaurant when they were in their previous location and had high hopes for this one. I really want them to succeed, but they have a lot of room for improvement. read more

Wonderful experience for sure!!!! The food was absolutely delicious! So many menu option. Service was great and the atmosphere was stunning! I had my family of 10 for my Anniversary and we definitely enjoyed ourselves and will be returning. Thank you Southern Kitchen for the wonderful experience. read more

We had a 5:15 reservation and was seated at 5:48. The female manager or owner did apologize and gave us a free appetizer for the inconvenience. The male manager was in the kitchen plating food with no gloves and then I saw him pull out his phone and went, back to touching food. HONEY...those complimentary muffins are EVERYTHING!!!! The food was good. The music is too loud for a restaurant establishment...we could barely have a conversation but it's a beautiful place. read more

MUST GO HERE! Ok so this place is booked and busy! I loved it here. My friend and I met here for restaurant week and I'm glad we did. The food was awesome... the catfish bites - A1, the fried okra - A1, the pork chops - A1... just everything. Oh and the drinks were strong & tasty. Our waitress was Jameka and man she was a doll! First of all her voice reminded me of Michel'le (look her up), we pretty much kept making her talk just to hear it lol. She provided the best service! We literally wanted for nothing because she was on top of it! read more

Food was good... start of service was slow... apologies were given and we enjoyed a good HOT meal. I will say the slow start (server appearing then the wait fornour drink), just keeping putting you in a certain mind set... in the end our server was pleasant and the hostess was gracious... Loved the vibe and esthetic of the restaurant. I would come back on GP for the food... you could tell that our food was cooked for us, as it still came out steaming!!! Love that feleling when I go out to eat... Till next time! Cheers read more

just ok... the decor is lovely. everything else was ok.. overpriced but i imagine i paid for the location....had the meatloaf which tasted like salisbury steak, the mac and cheese was delicious the greens ok. overall experience was much less than i expected. did see the owner working... for the price point i would not return. service was ok read more

Service staff were very nice and attentive. Resturant was clean and the ambiance was very nice. I had the southern roll with greens and chicken....really good 5/5. I also had the fried catfish with Mac n cheese and fried cabbage. The fish was seasoned but not fried hard, actually fell apart. The Mac n cheese was just ok and the cabbage was sweet and soggy. Oh! The bread pudding wasn't good at all. But overall I will visit again and try a new dish. My check for one person was $60 + tip. read more

Everything hit the spot and the service couldn't have been better. They give you complimentary corn bread. My only small complaint was the Texas toast was stale and inedible - I couldn't cut through it with a knife. They are reservation-only, which can be made on Open Table. read more

We have eaten at Southern Kitchen and just can't go back. Food is generally good (at times sides are not warm enough), but the menu is so rigid - you can't get just chicken and a small salad. You have to have two sides. I'd like to try dessert, but I simply cannot eat so much food. Service is pretty good. Not great. Ambiance is unlike any soul food restaurant I've ever been too. Pretty, modern decor. Staff is snobby. You have to make a reservation even though every time we've been there the restaurant is practically empty. We saw them turn away a large party even though one entire side of the restaurant was empty. Prices are too high - almost $100 for two people with no alcohol or dessert. While we initially enjoyed the restaurant the rigid menu, reservation requirement, cost and snotty staff make it a place we don't enjo. read more

This was my first time to this location since they moved from Jackson Ward and we wanted to show our support. The restaurant itself screams elegance when you walk inn just beautiful! We were a group of 3 we picked this spot for brunch! Unfortunately not much on menu was brunchy mostly dinner but it smelled amazing inside so we stayed and enjoyed a meal anyway and glad we did! We tried the catfish bites, southern rolls, and fried oysters for an appetizer both seasoned and friend to perfection. For the southern rolls they are pricey and I think adding in Mac n cheese would escalate the flavor but overall very good I had the shrimp Po Boy meal w/ fries, we also ordered the salmon cake dinner and fried shrimp dinner. As you can see we wanted to try a bit of everything. My shrimp were delicious but I tried my friends salmon cakes and they lacked seasoning/flavor so that was disappointing. Mac n cheese, sweet potatoes and greens were flavorful. Our tab was a bit over $200 but we did order a lot! :) If I go back it would be for dinner time and not something so heavy during brunch hours, should not be advertised as such. If they decide to add a mimosa flight to the menu I'll be back sooner! Haha Come with an appetite and enjoy Souther Cuisine style cooking! read more

Wonderful dining experience. Decor is lovely, food was very good. I had the turkey wings, which were two large flats that fell off the bone. Side of fried cabbage that was delicious.

We did not have reservations there was a 25 minute wait for table. We opted to eat at the high tables in the bar area. Table service was provided by our waitress Zee. She was attentive and very friendly and timely. She offered help with the menu and ensured that everything was to our liking. The food was hot and quickly delivered food was very tasty and adequately seasoned. Portion size was large. The restaurant was full but the noise level was low. The space was large and airy. Great experience to be repeated. read more

What a great experience. The food was excellent and the staff couldn't have been nicer. You shouldn't miss this!

Service was on point Ambiance very nice. Smelled amazing in there. Everyone was super friendly and inviting Food: really good. I wish I would have gotten honey on side since it was so much covering the chicken that I can't give an accurate taste review on Chicken but it was very good. Mac and cheese was slightly dry but the flavor profile was somebody's grandma was in the back. Fried cabbage was a bit wilted and soft but again flavor profile was spot on. Let's talk about the corn bread muffin you don't see because I ATE it. DELISH!! read more

Firstly, younger people be aware! The crowd here ran a little older and it was a little dressier than you'd think. Service was quick and the servers were super kind if not a little rehearsed. Our drinks were delicious and strong! 10/10. The Catfish bites were so good! A little salty but so fresh and tender and juicy! 9/10! I'm not really sure what was going on with the egg roll thing but absolutely not. It was crumbly and the greens lacked flavor. And what's the idea with the syrup?? -10/10. The turkey wings were flavorful and tender! The skin was very rough and chewy however everything paired together nicely. 8/10. The chicken and waffles were delicious however I would like to first acknowledge that I paid $2 for whip and strawberries. I had to ask for the whipped cream and there was legitimately the equivalent of one strawberry on half the waffle. Yikes. The chicken was very good! Very large and crunchy! The waffle was sweet however a little soft and thin for the weight of the chicken. 8/10. The bread pudding was phenomenal! Warm, soft, sweet. It was great! 10/10!! read more
