I've ordered from this place twice now and have not been disappointed either time. The food and service is excellent! I enjoy food from Matthews and Magnolia Room, but Southern Kitchen blows them out of the water as well as probably most of the competition in the area when it comes to take-out comfort food.
Keep in mind this is an online business. The first time I ordered here, I went through GrubHub. My other half really wanted to try the brisket. So we ordered that and a whole mess of sides (mostly for me LOL, I'm such a sides and sauces person with every meal). In any case, when I arrived I found out they had run out of brisket, but the young man helping me told me they didn't have a way to contact me via GrubHub. Even though my hubby really only wanted the brisket, I had my heart set on the sides. So I agreed to try a sampling of the other meats instead.
They boxed up some catfish, plain fried wings, and a smothered turkey leg in place of the brisket we had ordered. The young man was so nice to package everything very securely and offered to bring the order out to my car when it would be ready. Excellent communication and customer service here!
My mom ate the turkey, which she said she really enjoyed and looked very flavorful and moist. My other half and I worked on the catfish and chicken and sides. And let me tell you, everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection! It's rare I'll order from somewhere and be happy to try everything a second time. There was no "bad" dish. Every last dish was amazing!
I called a second time to order after that and the young man who picked up said they can do phone orders but you'd probably have to bring cash down or do cashapp which I don't have on my phone. So basically you can order from their website, GrubHub, or Uber Eats like I did yesterday. There might be other platforms, but those are the ones I know of. Their website didn't work for me the past times I tried to order from them.
Just yesterday I ordered all my favorite sides again and some lemon pepper wings via delivery. I got the sweet potato cheesecake for dessert which was so delicious and creamy with a perfect, cookie-like crust. I forgot to mention, the first time we also tried the strawberry crunch cheesecake also. They have a great dessert menu full of cheesecakes, pies, bread pudding, etc.
I think my favorites from the menu have got to be the baked beans, dressing, and mac and cheese. They had run out of dressing yesterday, but on Uber Eats they responded quickly so I could pick a different side which was nice. I'm very picky about baked beans as I grew up on some really awesome homemade ones from my mom, but these are mouthwatering. They are the perfect mix of sweet and spicy, and I love that they use ground turkey in them. Seriously, don't sleep on this place any longer if you have been! It's worth every penny, and according to Yelp, you are also supporting a family owned and operated, veteran owned and operated, small, black business. So what are you waiting for? I know I'll be back soon. Thanks for the awesome food and service, Southern Kitchen!
