Southern Comfort Restaurant

The food was good!!! My dad and I visited after church around 2:30. Our food arrived at our table at 3:35. The young lady who served us was amazing, she kept refilling our drinks and checking in on us. I asked her name and the meaning, she replied “I Am that I Am!” I told her that was strong and beautiful and she should smile. She had excellent customer service. The “manager” who corrected a server arrogantly by saying “ I am the owner not the manager”, didn’t seem very pleasant. He sat at a table behind us quizzing the servers as they worked!!!! I am a business owner as well, that didn’t sit well with me. They are all young girls who are doing their best. He was there with another guy cursing and being ridiculous. If it were not for how sweet our server was, we would’ve left. Unless you have a lot of time on your hands, and enjoy ghetto atmospheres, you may want to visit another restaurant.

Good service but food is tasteless. Mac and cheese I’m sorry to say is a joke. Yams were decent I ended up just plating my food and will probably end up giving it away. Would not recommend but I don’t think there are any good soul food plates in Va. food looks like it’ll be good but don’t be fooled. Also Corn bread didn’t taste good either. We spent $100. I would have been better off going to Captain George

I drove two hours to try this restaurant based on my cousin's high praise, but unfortunately, the experience didn’t quite live up to the hype. The fried food all tasted the same like it was seasoned with one universal blend, which got repetitive quickly. The mac and cheese had an unusual seafood-like seasoning that threw the flavor off, and the yams were overwhelmed by syrup, making them overly sweet. The alcoholic beverage was also a letdown weak and watered down. On a positive note, the service was excellent. Our waitress, Daysha, stood out with her professionalism and attentiveness. She even took the entrees off our bill without hesitation, which was appreciated and showed great customer care. Overall, the food didn’t meet expectations, but the service, especially from Daysha, was a redeeming factor.

I ordered the liver over a bed of white rice collard's & gravy . The liver was old burnt and crunchy hard to chew the worst i have ever seen it was gross i had to share some chinese food with my wife and i hate chinese food but i preferred chinese over that gross hard crunchy liver . Nice place but the food was horrible.

The staff were attentive and amazing. The restaurant was clean and the environment was inviting. However, I was disappointed this go round. The turkey wings were not falling off the bone. They were rather dry and the sauce made them more palatable. The greens didn't taste fresh. Not sure if they're made fresh daily or stored and heated up the following day, but I've had better from them. I purposely came for the greens and this was a miss.

I visited this restaurant with my brunch group, and I must say, the food and service was amazing. It was 7 of us, and the young lady who served us was on point. She made sure we were talented of. I had the Southern Fried Chicken (10 out of 10), Mac n cheese (10 out of 10), yams (not too sweet, which is good, 10 out of 10, and potato salad (8 out of 10, it was a little sweet to me but still good). I definitely would go back!

Stumbled upon this place looking for a late lunch and we were the only ones seated at the time, but it didn’t disappoint. Don’t miss this one! The outside is not representative of the flavor explosion that is served inside so don’t let that discourage you. Shauntey greeted us immediately, took our order quickly and was very attentive. I enjoyed the perfectly cooked Fried chicken, creamy coleslaw, and some of the best Mac n cheese I’ve had. And the cornbread was phenomenal and just the right amount of buttery sweetness. Everything was hot, fresh and full of southern flavor. I’d definitely buy the cookbook if they offered one ;-)

Recently went for lunch here and the food was 🤌🏽 superb. Location was cool, with it being a little hole-in-the-wall spot; and the atmosphere was great, with a nice local mural to set the tone and vibe. I’m not a huge fan of “meatloaf” but I decided to try something different and it was BANGIN! However, the crazy part was the entree wasn’t even the star of the show. Opted for the Mac ‘n Cheese and sautéed spinach as sides and😩🤤. SO good. I don’t think I’ve ever had restaurant Mac n cheese that good, or spinach that good from ANYwhere!! Also, the waitress/bartender was cool. Very attentive but not overbearing or pushy. I had their signature “Comfort Juice” drink that was awesome. Would’ve had more and needed an Uber home, if I wasn’t going rock climbing immediately after😅. All in all, 10/10 would reccomend, and WILL be returning to try their Smothered chops, and fried fish options.

For $20 it's not a bad deal but... The flavor of the wings I got was Honey lemon pepper, I couldn't taste any "Honey". The mac and cheese was lacking cheese and honestly the homemade taste. I didn't care for the sweet potato either, could have used butter and sugar on top. Plus the place didn't have A/C and the restaurant was very very warm. The service was 100% though! I will try again.

An okay dining experience. We made a reservation for a large party. It was our group and one other table of 4 occupied in the building. I didn't care for the way the bathroom smelled either. The food took a long time and was only okay tasting. My baked chicken didn't have much taste. The green beans were very salty. The macaroni didn't have a lot of taste either. A lot of people in my party said they weren't crazy about their food. I will say they do a great job of making the food aesthetically appealing! Very disappointing for the price. The staff was okay. The overall experience was eh.

Food took 2 hours to come out and our waitress kept telling us it was coming out soon. Food was mediocre and it was hot as hell inside. The restaurant wasn't even busy. Won't be coming back here.

Father's Day June 16, 2025, 1030 AM My wife waited at the front of the line for approximately 20 minutes, only to be informed that it would take an additional 45 minutes to be seated. This was despite the fact that nearly 40% of the tables were visibly unoccupied. We were told the delay was due to a backlog in the kitchen, so we continued to wait. While I consider myself a patient person, my patience wore thin when I saw two individuals--identified by staff as regulars--walk past the line and be seated immediately. It became evident that the staff was overwhelmed, and the restaurant's service process was in need of serious improvement. Customers choose restaurants not only for the food but also for the service--both are equally important. While I won't comment on the food, as this was our first visit, I can say that the service left much to be desired. Frustrated, my wife and I decided to leave. As we exited, we passed a line of more than 30 people still waiting. Interestingly, another couple followed us out. We went to a different restaurant, where we were seated and served within 30 minutes. The service was excellent--and so was the food.

Service: Too slow. It took just about 1 hour from the time I ordered on a Saturday at 5:30 PM until it was ready. Food: Catfish dinner, Fried Turkey Chop, and Meatloaf Dinner. All were probably 7/10 on taste. It doesn't matter though if it was manna from heaven because I would never go back there considering how long it took. Ambiance : Its is in a corner of a strip mall so the lighting isn't the best. Very much of a roadside diner type of vibe. Either the AC wasn't working well or they didn't have it on bc it was very warm inside.

I honestly didn't know this place existed until a co-worker wanted to try this place. So I was with a party of 3 and we were seated at a high table. The place is nicely colored teal and black. It took a while for the server to come over (they weren't busy). She was very pleasant and took our orders. I will tell you they are NOT fast! The drinks came which were mediocre (2 of us tried the southern comfort punch). Now the food on the other hand was good! If you like your food seasoned this is where it's at! They have a lunch menu, happy hour food & drink menu, plus brunch, taco Tuesdays, and they have daily specials. I will most likely be back to try other food items.

The food is good but the waitress with the short locs was picking and choosing which customers she wanted to tell it was "an hour and a half" wait for food including the appetizer. Then another couple comes in afterwards and gets an appetizer within 25 minutes. She never refilled our drinks we had to wait 15 minutes to get. No silverware provided initially & did not check on us AT ALL until we finished the food; but was trying to rush the other wait staff to clean & buss tables as if she trying to shut down the restaurant with customers still inside. Her customer service skills were horrible and she's bad for a business trying to make money. The light skin female server was WONDERFUL, I wish she was our server. She was thee best at calming customers down that were leaving due to the long wait and poor service by the loc-headed waitress. Take Loc-Head off the front line & put her in the back........since she felt the need to say that to the light skin server in front of customers!

We were visiting family and family recommended this place for their chicken wings. So decided to check it out and specifically get the chicken wings. The chicken wings were huge! The collard greens were seasoned well and went real good with the cornbread. The best part was the crab dip! I definitely go back just to order the crab dip. Customer service was great and ambiance was chill. 4 stars because the potato salad wasn't too great. It was a little too mustardy for me that it was overbearing. Overall, great food and great customer service. We'll be back!

The fried fish and pork chops were awesome! Sweet potatoes and Mac and cheese was cooked to perfection. Most of all our waitress was just the best! We will be bringing back friends soon! A diamond!

The food was very good, I had the liver with rice gravy and onions. Green beans was my side and all of the food was seasoned to perfection!

Turkey gravy - Cream of celery soup Beef gravy - cream of mushroom soup Crazy and it's under new ownership so definitely don't expect what your used to Long time customer GONE for sure

HereThe food was enjoyable overall, though the mac and cheese could have been fresher--it had a bit of a leftover Thanksgiving vibe. The drink wasn't to my taste, but I didn't want to send it back, as our waiter seemed a bit preoccupied. While the setting isn't the most comfortable, it's a decent spot for a quick lunch date. I'd consider coming back, but probably not on my own dime. Our server was polite and did her best, though she may have had something personal on her mind that day.

Service is trash my family of 4 got here at 7:10pm and didn't get out food until 9pm!! Freaking ridiculous!! Mac & cheese is bland the yams were not yamming at all !! Its Saturday night place is not packed and only 2 waiters !! We will not be back & yall gotta do better!!!

Great southern cooking in the Hampton VA! Black owned and operated and food taste like "Big Momma l" is in the kitchen for sure. Will definitely return.

So we're are back again getting ready to grub down in this hidden gem on some of the best soul food in the 757, this time we brought back my daughter grandson and uncle to experience with my wife and mother in Love the plentiful menu of tasty bites. Entrees ordered Were the meat loaf crab bites wings turkey chops, turkey wings and grilled pork chops. The crab Dip needed a little more bite but it was good nonetheless the catfish bites was delish and the wings were all that, meatloaf just like what momma made smh, the turkey wings were a slam dunk, the grilled pork chops were tender and delish the sides of Mac and cheese, Collard Greens and all sides were just like the ones made for after church dinner. As the music played our server Tiara was attentive engaging and sweet as she wanted to be handling this hungry family great job Southern Comfort team who ever is in the kitchen kudos for being consistently consistent!!! Come on in and eat as momma used to say they won't let you down!

I'm writing this at 9:30 pm on a Sunday as your restaurant should be open as the sign says and online states yet the doors were locked. When I approached the door a worker asked me "what do you want" as if I was selling something. Just rude and inconsiderate. Needless to say I never got any food. If you are closing earlier than 10 pm you need to update online posting and flip the signs. Will not be returning.

I attended this past Saturday with my 10 sisters and we had exemplary service and delicious food!!! Our waitresses were friendly, knowledgeable of the menu, and prompt with ensuring we all had beverages and appetizers. Our main entrees exceeded our expectations!! Some of my sisters had never been to this restaurant and they were pleasantly surprised and glad to have selected Southern Comfort for our sisterhood luncheon! I highly recommend this restaurant when you are searching for a restaurant with delicious food, drinks, excellent service and relaxing e

In town for the Jazz Legacy jazz festival this weekend & stopped in for lunch. Let me tell you that our server Jaelynne was so amazing! Very attentive & provided great customer service. She made our drinks to perfection! The chicken wings were piping hot! My friends ate them so quick and the table was filled with bones!...our main courses were all delicious! We had fried catfish, bbq ribs, fried shrimp, shrimp po boys, honey lemon pepper wings and I had the turkey wings featured in this review. Our sides included Mac n cheese, green beans, cabbage, rice & gravy, fries, and yams!!!! SWEET JESUS!!! This place is the truth! You gotta stop in & try some of this SOUTHERN COMFORT food!!! Ask for Jaelynne! She'll provide the most amazing food/drink experience!!

Food is great. Even though we went on a Sunday and the place was packed, the food kept its consistency from the previous visits. My complaint is, they have a fruit cup/bowl on the menu. I ordered it for my toddler. In my mind I'm expecting a variety of fruit, whhyyy they send out a bowl of sliced oranges. Not even a whole orange, maybe half an orange, 3 slices or worse yet, oranges from the bar garnish AND it was $5. Take this off your menu if this is your idea of a fruit bowl.

If you are looking for authentic soul food with great service, then look no further this is your place. I had the fried catfish with mac and yams. Man, this was outstanding. When in Hampton, you need to run over here ASAP!

Perfect visit from beginning to the end! As if I even need to say this, I located this place on Yelp! Once we arrived, I realized I've been here before but I believe they were crowded and we couldn't get in, or something similar. Well, we're back! Not only are we back, we're back for happy hour and dinner! Feed us please! This place has a spacious parking lot out front and you can easily locate this place from the main road. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the bartender Mike. Mike was super laid back and cool! We got right to it with our questions about drinks and food items and Mike was prepared to give it his all! He even provided my husband with a sample or 2 of questionable items. Hubby loved everything! Collectively we ordered roasted turkey wings with veggies and potato salad, baked catfish with broccoli and yams, chicken wings off of the happy hour menu and some good good drinks (Bahama Mama and Hurricane)! The only downfall with this place is everything took quite a bit of time. Mike did apologize a few times for the delay. Let me tell you the wait was well worth it! Those chicken wings came out so crispy and tender! I was mad that they cooked them because they were too hot for me to eat! Yes! I said it!! Lol The wings were a great size and seasoned perfectly! Hubby genuinely loved his turkey wings and sides. He kept stating he's not going to be able to finish this meal because it was so much! He almost finished that meal! Haha My catfish was the perfect portion sized entrée. It was so good that I was taking small bites to devour longer! Yes small bites! I rarely get grilled or blackened catfish while out because it never comes out right but today, it came out rightttt! And let me tell you about these happy hour drinks, we got a Bahama Mama and a Hurricane! Talk about great daggone drinks, the perfect amount of alcohol and a smooth smooth intake. This black owned business is pretty awesome! We will definitely be back every time we travel here to visit our son at Hampton! Southern Comfort has us locked in for the next 4 years !!

This place just isn't my cup of tea. Very careless service. Only received half my takeout order. Called them and was hung up on the first time. Called back and asked for a refund and the "manager walked away" from the phone as the employee stated. She said he'd call back. Never did. Never got a resolution... wouldn't want that type of energy preparing my food anyway

Service Excellent-food hot and delicious!! It's definitely the go to place for a hot flavorful meal! The vegetables are so good I could make a meal out of them broccoli wow and string beans devoured first! Everything was amazing. First time we saw a large crowd at 3:00 pm still seated quickly and food delivered hot and quickly . Very pleased to recommend this one! Nice job!

Food took an hour to arrive and it wasn't very crowded. The chicken was overcooked and cold. The waffle was also cold. We didn't receive 3 of the items we needed when the food finally arrived. The service is molasses slow...slower. The servers attitudes are uncaring and they do as little as possible to help. The atmosphere was fine. Nothing spectacular but at least the music was low enough that we were able to hear each other. Go to waffle house.

pork chop 2 sides gravy&rice, mac&cheese, potatoe salad was great. HubB had meatloaf mash potates and broc of course that was good also. Serves was nice she checked on needs check to see if food was ok. thanks Elia i hope i spelled your name right and you know how to talk to people happy young lady no attitude.

Very busy today but great food and service is always amazing. I always get the catfish and my husband got the turkey wings. Amazing

Southern Comfort was nothing of the sort. We walked in to dirty tables. Once the table was cleaned off, we ordered from the happy hour menu. I placed an order at 6:57 for catfish bites, wings, and fries. I did not receive the wings until 7:40. The waitress told me she would be back with my other items. I didn't receive the rest of my food until.....I NEVER DID. I asked for a refund at 8:24. The one star is for the manager, who never came to apologize for the 1.5 hour wait, who voided the check.

Walk in the door alarm is annoying. This place has heavy traffic. Seated immediately yet I had to wait 5min for a menu, 5min for drink order and 7min for drinks. Add 50 min for food. Servers were nice but had no organization. Everyone is playing multiple parts and it was not working. 2.5 drinks later our food arrived. Chicken look good but fried too hard. Macaroni look good but was bland. The cheese had no flavor salt nor pepper helped. Greens were good, if you like a sweet, tangy taste this is the place for you. Cabbage was over cooked but sweet. Potato salad would have sent me over the moon but it had too much mustard. Lastly the cornbread was dry, tasted good but you definitely need a drink to get it down. Lasting impression it can build because the food is not disgusting. It is equally important to have the staff or a plan to be able to service your guest.

Delicious! The food was incredible. I had the turkey wings, rice and gravy and collards and every bite was phenomenal. Vareh was our server and delightful and attentive! I have very high standards and Southern Comfort exceeded them.

The service is GREAT they were really nice to me, great quality food the catfish bites that are equal to a whole big slice of catfish for 6 bucks and beer is 3 dollars in a bottle and great crab bites for 10 dollars. The paintings on the wall were great it shows a lot of the historical parts of VA great place for appetizers.

My go-to is the chicken wings. I gave a 4 star, and I will be visiting again to try more items on the menu

Below are my ratings for this place: Sweet Tea/Lemonade 3/5 Crab Dip 3/5 Fried Whiting 4/5 Chicken Wing 4/5 Potato Salad 3/5 Green Beans 3/5 Mac and Cheese 4/5 Yams 3/5 Corn Bread 2/5 Here's my honest review and ratings of the above. Scale is best out of 5 for each item. The service was great. Staff is friendly. Place is clean. Creativity and presentation is good. Their flavor is their flavor. It is what it is. My only negative is the crab dip plate being burnt, as shown in the photos. Cleanliness is 5/5. Staff is 5/5. Food overall is a 3/5.

Food is very good, service is fast and friendly. I highly recommend if you like soul food and home cooked taste.

I ordered the smothered pork chops, collard greens and sweet potatoes casserole. Only thing good to eat was the collard greens. . First it did not look like a porkchop. It was thin and extremely small. It was fried to death and uneatable. It was ashamed that they would even put that out for anyone to eat. I was so hungry and was very disappointed. The presentation of the porkchop should have never been served.

Not impressed!! Poor service( only one person working the front of the restaurant) .My food was cold which meant I was being served leftovers!! String beans had too much garlic in them!! My cocktail and the potato salad were good!! Won't go back and I don't recommend this spot to anyone!!

We went to southern comfort for a birthday celebration... Tierra was our server and we are worrisome when eating out.. She did well.. Kept out drinks filled.. Food was hot and that chicken was the best I have had in a long while... Those sweet potatoes were good and that Tea was delicious... Ill be going back for that Happy hour menu.. Kudos to Teirra

Food is amazing ad is the waitresses! Love the murals on the walls. Everyone there is awesome! Definitely would recommend!

Stopped in on a whim after leaving Virginia Beach and I'm happy to report it was an excellent choice. The restaurant is bright, cheery and absolutely welcoming. The waitress was very sweet and attentive. The bar has purse hooks!! So considerate of them! The bar area is huge with a lot of seating. There are beautiful murals on the walls with some cool sayings. They also have TVs everywhere that would be perfect for sports fans. They play nice old school R&B jams that kept me singing the entire time there. We started out with cocktails from the menu - the pink lemonade and the southern royalty. Both very tasty! We ordered the crab balls appetizer and crushed them in seconds. Yes they are that good. Entrees: Soulful Turkey Wings with mac & cheese, cabbage, rice & gravy and cornbread. All of it was super delicious! The turkey wings literally melt in your mouth. You can't go wrong choosing this meal. The cabbage was a bit sweet for my liking so I added hot sauce to see if it helped. Mac & cheese was on point. Rice and gravy was a hit too! I never see this on a menu and it made me happy. And they use long grain rice! Not that uncle ben's stuff. The rice that actually absorbs the gravy if you know what I mean lol. I can eat rice & gravy every day! Southern Comfort Pork Chop with collard greens, mac & cheese and cornbread. My boyfriend loved his meal! I tasted the pork chops and was blown away by the flavor! Super tender too! The collard greens were on point! Whenever I'm in Hampton or driving through, I most definitely will not be leaving until I stop here. We loved it! I'm sure you will too!!

Food was fantastic! I had southern fried chicken and my coworker had a bacon cheeseburger and we both was blown away with the quality of the food and the exceptional customer service. The whole dining experience was great!

Food is AMAZING everytime! Plus, it's clean, they have good music! We absolutely love the service we receive from Dominique, she is so warm, welcoming, and attentive.

The food was Awesome! Our server Dominique was awesome as well. I love that she was transparent with the food wait time.So we enjoyed happy hour with 4 Long Island teas, crab dip, artichoke dip, crab balls, Thai wings and the chicken club sandwich with fries. Food was seasoned to perfection. The atmosphere is chill and laid back. I will definitely be returning!

Food and service was great! I give it a 10 out of 10. Turkey Wings, Collard greens and, Yams were seasoned very well.

Food was great. I went there for takeout and I order wings. I thought the wings came with fries for the price but was very disappointed. Crab dip was very good.

Extremely disappointed! We made a reservation for are large group in advance. They called and confirmed our reservation, which tells me they were expecting us. We arrived and they didn't have seating ready for us. We had to help move tables etc. Now, let's talk about the food. The greens tasted like sugar, the broccoli was full of garlic, the green beans...there are no words, and the list goes on. Let's talk about the wait for food. I am typing this at 8:40 pm. We arrived at 6pm and individuals in our party are still waiting for their food. One person had ordered just vegetables and never got it. She decided to go next door to the pizza shop after waiting for hours. We are from all over the U.S. and could have picked a different restaurant, but we were trying to support a small black owned business. The server was pleasant and did her best with what she had to work with, but everything else was horrible.

The Bartender Mike is absolutely amazing! pouring drinks and making sure you are having a good time! the music is hot all the old r&b all your favorite songs on the playlist! the food all southern style is delicious!! great experience!! Nevah beautiful girl! great server and bartender!! absolutely a good time!!

Tik Tok did not let us down with Southern Comfort, the food was astounding. We were a party of 9 and the food was plated to perfection. Dominque was our server and she was patient with a smile, very pleasant to work with. The vibe and energy of this Black owned staff was admirable. The playlist was mulitifaceted and subtle. My only issue was the wait time for the food; one half of the party received their plates and the other half waited another 15 minutes. The manager did acknowledge us and offered a free meal to the birthday lady. Overall I was fond of the food and I plan to return, so I encourge everyone to experience Southern Comfort for yourself.

I am always looking for good soul food. Today I decided to try Southern Comfort. My dad and I were the only two in the restaurant. The waitress was very friendly and hospitable as she seated us and took our drink orders. We both ordered lemonades which came in mason jars. So cute! For our meals, I ordered the meatloaf with rice and gravy and green beans. My dad ordered the southern fried chicken with Mac n cheese and Collard Greens. The food was amazing! I was very satisfied. And this is exactly what I've been searching for. Whenever I crave Soul Food, this will be my spot.

On January 19 2025 my family and I placed a large order over the phone. After the order was placed they asked for payment and we informed them we will pay upon arrival. We get there and we are welcomed with a cold what are you doing here attitude. The waitress who was rolling silverware yells we are closed it was 9:30 pm. They close at 10 pm. We then inform them we placed an order over the phone. The waitress who took the order never made sure the order was received by the cooks. The staff then informs us the food was never made. We insisted we still wanted our food. The kitchen staff then made the food and the only hot food was the fried food. So the turkey wings the meat loaf Mac and cheese and cabbage and several other items was all cold. Once we received our food we checked it and the order was not correct and the kitchen staff has now completely closed down their kitchen. We were told we could come back Tuesday for the missing food. The problem is we are visiting from two different states. The staff needs to be trained as they were also arguing who was going to wash the bar dishes in front of us.

Ordered the Turkey Chop ( Smothered) that was a bit salty but still wonderful Mac and cheese, Candied Yams, and lots of cornbread. Great customer service! Friendly waitress and attentive.
