Southern Grace Eats

Came to Cincy for a few days over the Memorial Day weekend & it was on my bucket list to try this soul food.I was not disappointed with the food, service or atmosphere. Vibe: It was around 5pm on a Saturday, not too crowded & not a long wait, it was about a 15-2o minute wait. Very clean & spacious. If dining in, you place your order & pay then they will tell you which table # to sit at. Angel was very helpful with food recommendations, I loved her customer service & attitude. Asha(sp?) was also very pleasant as well as the owner Nikki! Food: The catfish was hot - cooked & seasoned PERFECTLY! Yams were very good & not too sweet. Mac & chz baked just right with a lil burntness on top(IYKYK), cabbage, turkey tips w/ rice & gravy were also really good! The watermelon lemonade was really sweet to me, if you like a real sweet & flavorful drink then get it, IMO, I didn't like it because I don't like sweet drinks. I highly recommend eating here. I wasn't aware of where to park until after I got back to my car across the street & the employee of that establishment told me that it was their parking lot.

Really good food. Service was top notch. Food had good flavor and came out hot. Fried chicken, pinto beans/rice,fried okra, cabbage and dessert, yum!! Some parking in the back and street parking out front.Check them out.

We were close by for a graduation and decided to try Southern Grace Eats after seeing them featured in a short film at a CityLink fundraiser—an organization that supports those most at risk in our community. Knowing this restaurant gives people a second chance made us want to support it, but the experience itself far exceeded our expectations. Before they opened, we were sitting on a bench nearby and every staff member who walked in gave us a warm greeting. One even laughed with us when we asked if he’d be the one making our delicious food—he confidently replied, “Yes, and it’s going to be piping hot.” He wasn’t kidding! I ordered whiting, collard greens, and macaroni and cheese. My lunch portion was enough for a second meal. Hubby ordered a Saturday combo with whiting, chicken wings, and a delicious substitution of fried okra instead of fries. Everything was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The fresh, homemade lemonade with free refills was a refreshing bonus. Service was friendly and attentive—we were even greeted by the owner, which made the experience feel personal and genuine. We came at the perfect time because the place filled up fast, and for good reason. Southern Grace Eats isn’t just serving great food—they’re serving hope, hospitality, and heart. We’ll definitely be back to fill our craves for excellent soul food!

Delicious, flavorful, and hearty. The cornbread is perfectly sweet and fluffy (not dry in any way). Everything was packed with good flavor and very filling! The staff was friendly, food was quick, and the space was very clean and filled with light.

When my family and I entered the building, the staff were very friendly. They greeted us with a warm smile. We came at a great time before the lunch rush, which was 1155 AM. We could tell it was a popular place. Very clean and fully staffed. The food was fresh and served to us in less than 20 minutes. You pay before you sit down. The drinks include one free refill. You have to try the watermelon lemonade. It is so delicious. I had the 4 whole wings Asian Zing sauce with cabbage and candied yams. It is 50 cent extra for the cornbread, but it is worth it. The food was 10 out of 10 highly recommended.

I ordered the Sunday dinner special - pot roast over mashed potatoes (I wish the roast had some veggies in it, carrots/celery etc) with 2 sides, I had the macaroni and yams. Meal was served with a piece of cornbread for an additional 50 cents. I got a side of greens as well. Food was delicious! Customer service was very nice. It was super busy, and phone was ringing off the hook but I received my order quickly. I recommend!!

Very good food with plenty of flavor, the sweet potatos was succulent *chef kiss*;But the Lemon cake was sooo good!, atmosphere is great! Customer service is superb!

The food was definitely worth the wait…. We arrived right before the rush everything was fresh, nice setting will definitely come back!! The vegan Philly cheesesteak was delicious it tasted like jackfruit but I could be wrong either way it was so good!! The Mac and cheese and yams were delicious as well!!! ✨✨✨✨✨
