My experience was amazing! I walked in and sat immediately at the bar on a Sunday at 5:30pm .. my server/bartender , Jay was knowledgeable and friendly.. he recommended drink and food options.. I ordered the fried whiting dinner with a “thug passion” to drink.. I also added on some cornbread and everything was great!! I loved the fact that throughout my visit, they were actively cleaning the floors to ensure that they provided a comfortable and clean atmosphere for all of their guests. The manager, Ms. Darlene was super friendly and ensured that I enjoyed my visit from start to finish even during the busiest hours of the day. I will definitely be back and it comes highly recommended!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had the absolute pleasure of being served by Robin at Southern Fire Kitchen, and she was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we were seated, Robin greeted us with a warm smile and an energy that made us feel instantly welcome. She was attentive without being overbearing, anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, and made excellent recommendations from the menu that did not disappoint. Robin’s professionalism was matched by her genuine kindness—she treated us like valued guests rather than just another table. Her knowledge of the menu and ability to personalize our experience made our meal even more enjoyable. It’s rare to find a server who combines efficiency, friendliness, and true hospitality so effortlessly, but Robin has mastered it. Southern Fire Kitchen is lucky to have her, and I’ll definitely be back—partly for the food, but mostly for Robin’s exceptional service.

I had the fried catfish and mac n cheese and green beans with drink one too many. Food was very good and seasoned and fresh. The drink was strong without being straight alcohol their version of a long island. My sister had fried chicken wings mac n cheese, yams, and greens, which she said was good and fresh also very well seasoned. Her drink was made with love sweet and STRONG! Our waitress Mari was very courteous and made great suggestions as this was pur first time here. I would definitely come back.

He had a wonderful gathering over some really great southern fare! Dinner was great. The drinks were just as good. I didn't mind the prices, but the portions are small for the price. I was surprised by the Smash Burger it was outrageous.

Iyana was a great server. The manager stopped by and welcomed us to the restaurant. The The lobster bites were a nice appetizer. We also had a salmon burger and crispy catfish with macaroni and cheese and collard greens. You have to try the honey butter cornbread, but to me it just taste like jiffy with a little sweetener on the top. I’m not a fan of auto gratuity but I understand the concept. Willing to give this place another try just not sure when.
