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.

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!!

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!!! ✨✨✨✨✨

I took my son to celebrate his birthday dinner at Southern Grace last Friday, his first time there. We drove from the Springdale area, definitely worth the drive. My son was surprised there was a soul food restaurant on Norwood's main Street. The menu is great! He was happy to see turkey tips with rice on the menu, placed his order adding candied yams, collard greens and cornbread. I ordered fried chicken wings, same vegetable, but with their wonderful mac n cheese. Our server was friendly and informative regarding our questions on food preparation (neither of us consume pork) drinks were brought and our dinners were delivered promptly. The food there leaves you with a warm, down home cooked taste. The smells entice you, reminiscent of being in your mother's kitchen. I've never been disappointed with my meals at this restaurant and highly recommend Southern Grace to any and all looking for great food, great service and a wonderful atmosphere. My only negative take aways would be ensuring all in the food prep area are wearing hair nets (especially anyone with long hair) and limited parking (street) near the establishment. We'll definitely return and bring others.

Have been here once and have some mixed feelings. Customer service was good overall. The staff are friendly. I did take out and my order was taking a long time to get out, the owner(?), took care to check in on me and see that my order was then prioritized. We got a couple of dinner platters, one with white meat chicken and the other with fish. Loved the chicken - fresh, hot, crispy, flavorful - all the things you would want. The fish had a lot of positive attributes as well, however, one of the pieces of fish I fear was used on the border of freshness and, therefore, the meat wasn't eaten. The sides were amazing(except the one we didn't get, more below). When we got home, we noted an error in order accuracy, we ordered an extra side of collard greens. This was missing, and we paid the full cost of a side. I called and spoke to the owner who didnt want to give me a refund and rather give it to me next time I dine there. Problem is I won't come for months, and I explained that. Still no refund for the item I didnt receive. Overall pretty great with friendly service and good food. I am guessing the fish is a one off but notable for our experience. The lack of refund is inexcusable in my book; if you mess up, you gotta own it.

Nice quaint location near/on Xavier University's campus. The night before this restaurant was recommended to me by the concierge at my hotel. The next day as I was heading back to my hotel, I got a bite to eat as I waited for the traffic to die down. Wise choice. The restaurant is very cool. The servers were very nice and friendly. When you come here get the $23 special. Very filling. I got lemon pepper wings, whiting, and cabbage topped off with some cornbread. All of the entrees I saw looked good. Portions were huge too. So much I had to take half of my food to my room. Oh and make sure to get tea with lemonade. IDK if I'll be coming back here but if I do... I'll swing by again.

Just came to update my review. I've probably been here a dozen times and I will say...the food has been consistently good each and every time. I don't mind spending when I know my food will be piping hot and consistently good. I brought my grandma this time and she gave a 10/10 for everything. I love love that you can now order right from your seat and be served. Good call. I love this place. Definitely "a blessing in every bite" grandma approved.

| Great flavor, but the chaos and service don't match the high price I made a special trip from Columbus just to try South Grace Eats--I'm a Cincinnati native and had heard good things. While the food was definitely flavorful and well-seasoned, the overall experience was disorganized and frustrating, especially for a soul food spot charging premium prices compared to other downtown Cincinnati staples. Location & Parking Parking is tricky. There's limited street parking and a small lot behind the building near Chase, but it gets crowded fast on busy days. Ordering Experience The entrance and ordering area are confusing. There are two cashiers, which makes it look like two lines, but there's no signage or direction from staff. Guests were directing each other while the line blocked both the entrance and pickup area. Also, there's confusion around seating--some people grab tables before ordering, but we overheard a cashier say tables are assigned after you order. A host or clear signage would fix this fast. Pricing Online menu prices are about $1 cheaper than in-store, which is frustrating when you're already paying more than average for soul food in the area. Ordering & Staff After a 15-minute wait, we finally ordered. The short male employee with curly hair was on his phone texting while taking orders, which slowed things down. In contrast, the young woman with crimped hair was a total standout--patient, knowledgeable, and basically managing the entire line solo. We were told they were out of fries (a standard side with most meals), but they offered a complimentary upgraded side, which was appreciated. What We Ordered Vegan Philly with mashed potatoes & gravy on the side - unfortunately, the gravy was poured on top even though I requested it separately due to meat content. They corrected it, but later returned with just the vegan Philly filling in a side dish cup, which was a little odd but worked. Saturday Combo with Whiting, 4 Grippo wings, and mac & cheese Whiting fish sandwich (no tomato, added pickle) with vegan-friendly greens Strawberry pound cake by Miley Pooh - dry but flavorful Watermelon lemonade - amazing! But the refill policy is odd (first refill free, then $1 each) Dining Experience We received a table number and were told it would be cleaned "momentarily." It took 15-20 minutes. There are no servers, just a few food runners who also occasionally check on tables. We had to ask for utensils and napkins, and grab our own condiments from a self-serve station. Food came out one item at a time, spaced about 5-7 minutes apart. The fish sandwich came with no toppings (even though I asked for them at ordering). The Saturday Combo could use better presentation--a slice of bread would go a long way. The Grippo wings had almost no Grippo seasoning and tasted like plain fried chicken. The mac & cheese was mostly burnt cheese with very little noodle underneath. Refill Situation The young man with the fuzzy haircut asked our table FOUR times if we wanted drink refills--and then never brought them. We saw him texting, lounging near the back bar, and pacing through the kitchen like he forgot. He even passed it off to another staff member (a guy with ginger locs), who also never followed through. Final Thoughts The food is flavorful, no doubt--but at this price point, the service, organization, and attention to detail should be much better. You shouldn't have to chase down sides, utensils, or staff. Between the confusing ordering setup, missing items, slow cleaning, and inconsistent communication, it's just too chaotic for a return visit. I wanted to love this place, but Cincinnati has too many soul food options that offer both good food and a better overall experience.

Food and service was really good and we enjoyed the vibe of the place. We will definitely be coming back. Make sure you order the cornbread.

There is a parking lot in the back of the business. We came when Xavier had graduation unintentionally, but it wasn't packed just a bit crazy just to get to the parking lot. Once inside, there's a menu right above the cashiers. You place your order with the friendly staff at the counter and should you decide to eat in, they point you to a table and someone brings you your drinks. There are TV's set-up inside, music playing and they also had outside seating should you want to be outside. There's a counter with condiments set-up should you need any. We didn't have a long wait for our food and when it came out, it was pipping hot, steam still coming from it. First bite into that chicken nearly took me out, I was surprised that it was flavored and cooked perfectly, that golden brown. The greens were good, my preference is a bit more spice but got sauce tried to help lol. Those yams, were delicious. That Mac and cheese isn't kraft,that's some for real baked Mac n cheese with the burnt top that I love to pick at and eat. This was actually really good macaroni and cheese, almost like my granny's. Oh and we had lemonade, if you're not used to sweet lemonade order a water. It reminded me of a hot summer and it quenching your thirst. I would definitely come back for some comfort food.

I'm a little biased because I've known the owner since the early conception of Southern Grace, but I hadn't visited the restaurant since opening. It had been on my list to visit for quite some time because I've had catering from Southern Grace many times which ultimately built up anticipation for this visit. The warm welcome I received when I first walked in made me feel like I was already a regular and they were glad to see me . I checked out the menu and was so excited by all the offerings, but I didn't let my eyes overdo it so I ordered the blackened catfish, cabbage, and pinto beans. I can honestly say the meal I had soothed my soul. Every once in a while you want that home cooked meal that you don't have to prepare yourself. This meal definitely brought the southern vibes and made me feel like I was home in my granny's kitchen. I stopped in as soon as they had opened for lunch so they weren't quite busy just yet, but as I was leaving the lunch rush was starting to pick up. I'll be back to try dessert and sample more on the menu.

Returned next day with family. Service was slightly delayed because of the crowd but they seemed to make it work. Tried the next day and couldn't get in. People outside waiting to get in.

Food: The Good, Bad and Ugly. The Good was the Friied Chicken, catfish, cabbage, bourbon wings, candied yams, macaroni and cheese. Candied yams were sweet and juicy. Mac and cheese was cheesy and delicious. Cabbage was sweet and savory. Bourbon wings were on point but the Fried Chicken and Catfish were the stars of the show. The breast was crunchy, succulent and well seasoned. Catfish was coated well and crispy, perfectly cooked. The Bad: Salmon Croquettes and rice were both bland and exterior coating was well done. Palatable after adding mustard but can't stand alone. The Ugly: Cornbread was the consistency of a cake. Taste was bland. Attitude of some upper management I would describe as hostile. Servers were great I left them a $20 tip. Upper management needs to be more hospitable when serving customers.

I've been having a hankering for whiting so I chose Southern Grace Eats to handle it, TO GO. For my sides I got greens and mac and cheese. REGRETFULLY, the mac and cheese was watery and tasteless. There was no cheesiness whatsoever. Cheese flavoring, MAYBE!?!?! The greens were ok, at least they weren't watery. The cheese water leaked inside the black take-out bag. Fortunately, they use bags that don't have holes on the bottom of them, otherwise the leak would have been disastrous in my passenger seat. The fish was a little thin, like tilipia instead of meaty whiting. It was crispy, though. On a 1 - 10 scale, the seasoning was about a 5-6. If they're not feeling like working or afford the correct kind of fish, they really should close for the day(s) needed. They started off great, but with this particular order I'm going to have to say this is going to hurt them in the end. Consistency is key to a successful restaurant.

The service was excellent, and the food exceeded my expectations. I ordered the plain wings and catfish, with candied yams and green beans as my sides. Let me just say--nothing disappointed. Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. I'm visiting from California, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying soul food meal.

The food was delicious. Our server, Nikki, was amazing and attentive. First timers and she explained their menu and specials in detail. Not a long wait for our food after we placed our order. Clean and nice facility. Nice location (near Xavier University). We are definitely planning to eat here again.

New spot right on Xavier's campus. Ordered ahead and walked into a bright clean space with friendly staff and took my tray home to eat. Fish was fried perfectly. Breading on the wings was amazing; they forgot to put the sauce on my wings and I still loved them. Be prepared to take a nap after finishing the whole plate

Sometimes a restaurant will really surprise us. Usually it's when it has a great reputation and our experience doesn't live up to it. Not Southern Grace. The unassuming little restaurant on the edge of the Xavier University campus was an extremely pleasant surprise. The only real issue we had was with the young lady taking orders. She stopped in the middle of taking an order to help someone else who just walked in. She also disappeared right after she asked us if it was to eat in or carryout. She left us, mid-sentance, to prebus a table. Huh? She did eventually come back. I noticed throughout the visit that she was frequently missing as a line would form to the door. However, this not so great introduction to the place was quickly forgotten when the food arrived. We both had the special of the day, smothered bakes chicken with 2 sides. The chicken, bone in was 2 wings and breast. It was tender and juicy and tasted great. The sides we chose, both of us had mac n cheese and cabbage, had me raving before I even got to the chicken. We also had the corn bread for 50c extra, a add on fully worth the price. The menu is pretty simple. A special of the day ($16). Meat and two combos ($21). Wings, burgers, and a chicken sandwich. If the rest of the food is as good as our experience, this place should be a hit. The restaurant is very clean, there's street parking in front and a side lot just a bit south off Montgomery Rd. They are not open early in week. Do yourself a favor, if you live within a comfortable drive from Xavier, check this place out.

Came to Souuthern Grace eats on a Saturday visiting from Chicago and the food was great. I ordered to go so didn't experience the full service, but the women who took our order were very patient, courteous, and polite. They brought a great energy to the place and that energy rubbed off on the customers who were either dining or waiting on food. The food itself was pretty good. The fried chicken was seasoned well, and fried hard, which made the eating experience great. The candied yams were banging. I'm a Big Mac and cheese guy and that could have been a bit more flavorful, but it was still pleasant. Overall would recommend Southern Grace Eats for anyone looking for some solid soul food in a great city. Will definitely be spinning the block next time I'm in Cincy! Hope this review helps.

I had been hearing a lot of good buzz about this place, so decided to check it out today for lunch (Saturday.) Parked right out in front on Montgomery Rd. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. I had a weekend combo with 2 large catfish filets and 4 Grippo chicken wings. It came with one side, so I chose candied yams. Also ordered a couple other sides, collard greens and green beans, plus a piece of cornbread. That was enough food to completely fill me up. Food took a while to arrive, but it was well worth the wait. Everything tasted magnificently--best example of Southern cooking I've had in years. Counter servers were friendly and fairly attentive.A clean and modern place. If you need a good Southern food fix, check this place out.

Me and my husband were in town for the Cincinnati Music Festival and we found this restaurant on TikTok and decided to stop by. The staff were very friendly when we entered, they explained how to place your order and gave us a rundown of the menu for the day. My husband and I both placed our orders for fish, I with a side of Mac n cheese and greens. My husband ordered the sides of Mac n cheese and sweet potatoes. I enjoyed the sweet potatoes over the other sides but all sides were good! We were given a number to take with us to our table and could sit either inside or outside. We chose to sit inside, as it was pretty warm outside. The restaurant was pretty spacious, very clean and had soft music playing in the background. When our food arrived everything was good, the portion sizes were just right for me. The food was season to perfection.

Flavorful food with good portions. The fried fish was made to order; crispy and hot. Price for a meal with 2 sides was $23 on a Sunday. Restaurant can be considered medium size with 10 or 12 tables. Street parking is very limited and spaces behind the Restaurant is supposedly for apartment residents. Customer service was friendly with a courteous young lady who acknowledged Customers entering the restaurant. Ambiance is casual.

Nice place, clean great customer service. It's got a sewer smell but I'm sure that's not the their fault, so I got it to go. The cashier gave me water while I waited. The food was really good, but I cook better. But for take out, it's a definite try. I got the Friday special so I could try a few things wings and fish, substituted for mashed potatoes instead of fries, one dollar more, then the chicken and green and Mac and cheese, third side four dollars more, corn bread fifty cents more addition twenty five cents more, total 40.75, so a bit pricey, but worth it. Enjoy.

We are regulars. I write this after my family has dined here probably 20+ times. It is near our home and offers home cooking that appeals to everyone in our home. I cook most days, but Southern Grace is our go to when mama needs a night off. Their creamy baked chicken inspired me to put that recipe in the rotation at home. Their baked turkey is heavenly. All the side are delicious, our favorites are candied yams and green beans. The cabbage and greens are also perfectly prepared. I love the fried catfish and the baked salmon. Southern Grace has mastered every item on their menu, my picky family is always pleased when we order out or dine in. The staff is friendly and attentive. They clearly double check to-go orders because ours is always accurate, which is huge for a busy family.

Everybody should go, real FAST! Service was great, and the ambiance here is simple. Nice music playing, plenty of parking right in Norwood! Big menu so you share a few items or not! This is soul food which I can a appreciate. You walk to the counter order, they bring it to your seat. It's Priced well, especially since I didn't have to cook. This is a family night or girls night. I'm a French fry connoisseur, and they didn't let me down. The grippo wings cooked crisp how I like, and don't leave without trying the Mac and cheese. You're welcome!

I've been wanting to try this place and once I walked in I knew it was a smart choice. All the tables were full and there was a line to order. I chose the fried chicken with mac n cheese and collard greens. I splurged and got a banana pudding as well. The flavor on every item was fantastic! I would have added a little vinegar to the greens if I was the chef but still loved the flavor. The chicken was a great crisp even after the drive home. I'll be back!

I've been following this Instagram for a while. I finally made it in on Friday. After I tasted the food, I texted like 4 people asking if you had this food. Two said yes. I'm like, how did they not mention it! I had the daily special, smothered turkey wing and rice plus a whiting dinner. The fish was fried to perfection, in my opinion. The turkey wing was the drum portion of the wing. I prefer the flat. I tried to hate when I saw a green pepper. I'm not a huge fan, but let me tell you, it was delicious. I would have liked more rice for the gravy, but no worries, I can make extra rice myself. Everything was prepared well and, most importantly, seasoned well. The sides I chose were greens, green beans, yams and macaroni, and cheese. A lot of people say they can't find good soul food in Cincinnati. Well, Southern Grace is the place. The spot is clean and easy to access, and the service was friendly. There was a tiny bit of a lull when my name was called for my food, but there was no one there to hand it to me. The manager or even perhaps the owner saw it and came to rectify it herself. Yes, I'm a regular now! I'm pleasantly surprised!

The food is amazing. I have eaten here four times and everything is so good. I look forward to trying more. So far my favorite entree is the lemon herb salmon. The sweet potatoes are fabulous. Great greens and green beans. The fried whiting and cod are delicious. Mac n cheese is good. A great varying assortment of desserts too. The establishment is always clean. The owner is super kind and an amazing chef.

Love the ambiance. The young girl I ordered with was very nice. Ended up trying it out for the first time on a busy friday during lunch, but the wait wasn't long at all. Ordered the catfish & mac & greens with cornbread and a watermelon lemonade. The drink was the star of the show. Greens were okay, but mac & cheese some of the worst I've had in a while cause why is it so watery and soupy? I had to waste that. The catfish was also too hard for my liking and lacking flavor. Cornbread I didn't really care for. Might try it out again, but there are better spots I enjoy more honestly.

Went in on a weekend with out of town friends. This place does get really busy, so be prepared for a crowd and you also pay and have a seat. It is a nice abuanve tonthe place. Nice gospel music playing, but it is drowned out by the people. You must visit with patience because there are a million kids working there. I got wings, dessert and a few sides. They were pretty cool. I wish I had opted for the turkey and gravy. The lady behind me ordered it, and I was tempted to ask her to let me have a bite. Lol

I have loved Nickey Stevenson's food and vision for years. This was my first visit to the new spot and it didn't disappoint. I ordered the Turkey tips while my friend got the blackened salmon. We were both blown away- you could tell because the whole meal we were both going "you have to taste this!" The flavor was true to the soul food I know but with a number of unexpected twists. For example, the green beans had a lovely acid (lemon?) that really made them pop. The cabbage boasted a nice chili oil flavor. It was light on the salt, perhaps by design for those who are more sensitive to it, but when I added my own, I appreciated the depth of flavor that was there. I could happily buy a tub of the gravy that graced the mashed potatoes and Turkey tips- I'd put it on everything. In short, Southern Grace serves outstanding food. It's also easy to eat at; the dining room was capacious and there is easy parking right behind the building. Finally, you won't find friendlier service anywhere!

Clean establishment upon entering. Food is served fresh and hot, so please expect a 20-35 min wait after you order. Food is well seasoned and flavorful. A bit pricey but quality of food is worth it. I rate the overall service and food 8.5/10. Will go back.

Stop in for takeout on Wednesday and was pleasantly surprised that even close to closing. They still had all food items in stock. Definitely enjoyed the fried shrimp, the batter they are cooked and was delicious. Everything else was really good, also tried the mac & cheese and collard greens. Homemade lemonade was a nice touch. The desserts were provided by another vendor, but the mini peach cobbler cakes were very tasty.

We recently visited Southern Grace Eats. The food was hot, well seasoned, with good portions, and beautifully presented. Customer service was prompt, friendly, and professional. Employees are very welcoming. The restaurant is clean, modern, and nicely decorated. Their menu provides many choices of meats, fishes, and vegetables. Including baked, fried, and smothered options. I had fried whiting, yams, and greens. All of the items were delicious. None of which were too salty. We will be coming back, again and again. Park in a rear parking lot or around the corner near Xavier University. Montgomery Road is a long street. Think -- Located on Montgomery Road, near Dana Avenue.
