"Celebrating Mama Bear" 04-18-26…read more My family and I visited Cutten Kitchen together for the first time, and we absolutely loved it. My eldest sister was the one who searched for places to celebrate our mother's birthday, and she definitely picked a winner. She felt like this would have been a restaurant our mom would have truly enjoyed if she were still here on this earth, and she got it right. Let me count the reasons why Mama would have loved this restaurant: the aesthetics, the well-seasoned food, the lively vibe, the soulful energy of the atmosphere, and the wonderful customer service. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the hostess, Victoria, whose professionalism and mannerisms were spot on. She was so friendly and welcoming. She held the door open for us when we entered, and she even held it open again when we left. Our server, Daniella, matched that same level of professionalism. She was not intimidated or nervous by our group at all. She greeted us warmly, introduced herself, and took our drink and appetizer orders with ease and confidence, which let me know she knew exactly what she was doing. She also offered great drink suggestions that we really enjoyed. I do not want to bore you with a long, drawn-out review, so I'll keep this part simple. The atmosphere is welcoming, with music playing at a nice medium volume through the overhead speakers. The dining room is extremely spacious and clean. Food Ratings: Fried Catfish/Shrimp Platter - 4/5 Both were fried to perfection, with nice crunchy edges and a soft, succulent, meaty texture inside. However, it was a bit too salty for my health. Fried Fish and Grits Platter - 5/5 My younger sister said she could taste the authenticity of Black culture in the well-seasoned grits and she enjoyed them. The CK Burger - 5/5 My son said this burger was delicious, and he tore it up too! The CK Patty Melt - 5/5 My eldest sister said it was delicious and felt like it melted in her mouth with every bite. Salmon Bites Appetizer - 5/5 Fried to perfection and surprisingly not too salty. Fried Plain Wings/Lemon Pepper Wings/French Fries - 5/5 Everything was served piping hot and extra crispy. Deviled Eggs Appetizer - 5/5 Everyone around the table loved these babies. My eldest sister said she did not care too much for the fried chicken tender on top, but overall, they were still a hit. Dirty Rice - 1/5 Too salty and too greasy for my liking. It also lacked the authenticity I was hoping for. Mac and Cheese - 5/5 According to my daughter, the mac and cheese was a 5/5. However, it did have a spicy kick, so my son gave it a 4/5. If you like spicy mac and cheese, then you will probably love theirs. Collard Greens - 5/5 This item stole the show for me. The collard greens were delicious, not too salty, and seasoned just right. Here's the shocker: instead of using pork in their collards, they used turkey neck. I was genuinely impressed because a lot of people believe pork is the only way to get that deep, flavorful taste in greens, but Cutten Kitchen proved otherwise. Blueberry Lemon Drop - 5/5 This drink may seem girlie, but it hit like a man. Sitting Sideways Cocktail - 5/5 This one hits just right and gives you a nice little buzz. Pineapple Upside Down Crown - 4/5 It was a little too sweet and did not have enough liquor for me, but it was still delicious after I poured an extra shot of Crown in it. Overall, Cutten Kitchen is an upbeat, lively, and soulful establishment that offers some of the best Southern cuisine in the area. I highly recommend this place if you love authentic soul food, great customer service, and a vibrant atmosphere. FYI: Parking is plentiful, but it would probably be best to make a reservation beforehand. I have heard this place can get packed.

I came here on a Saturday with my family. The restaurant wasn't overly packed, but our waitress was…read morevisibly overwhelmed and swamped the entire time. She was pleasant and did her best, but it took a very long time for her to take our order, and the food took an equally long time to arrive. As for the food, it was a mixed experience. The lamb chops were actually very good and were probably the highlight of the meal. However, everything else fell short. The salmon bites were disappointing, and overall the food seemed to be lacking seasoning and flavor. The cornbread was another letdown. The only sweetness came from the glaze on top--the actual cornbread itself tasted more like a plain muffin with no sweetness or flavor of its own. I ordered the breakfast sampler with grits and eggs, but the grits that were served were heavily seasoned, dark Cajun-style grits rather than the traditional white grits most people expect with a breakfast plate. When I asked about it, I was told that's the only type of grits they serve. If that's the case, there should be a disclaimer on the menu because "grits and eggs" typically implies traditional breakfast grits, not the style usually served alongside dishes like shrimp and grits or catfish and grits. My husband ordered the lamb chops and eggs, my son had the chicken and waffles, and we also shared the salmon bites and cornbread. Unfortunately, aside from the lamb chops, nothing really stood out in a positive way. Considering the amount we spent, I left disappointed. While the staff was friendly and doing their best under the circumstances, the long wait times and lack of flavor in most of the food made the experience underwhelming. I would not return.

We've been passing by this place for awhile and today the wife and I decided to meet up after work…read moreand try them out. Upon entering, the place is nice and more spacious than we expected. Very clean and well put together. We we were greeted promptly and told to choose our seat and that she would be right with us. Well.. that wasn't the case. The lady that greated us was the greeter the bartender the hostess and order taker and one young man as a server was all they had. Fast forward past the wait. Our food comes. Presentation was nice loved the wooden serving trays. Burgers were nice size as seen on social media. I had the Texan burger with chili and cheese and my wife had Kions classic with cheese. Burgers were great. Meat was grilled to perfection with the chard edges i like. But were a little salty as were the onion rings. It taste like the same seasoning is used for the burger fries and onion rings so it became a little overwhelming. Which was part of the reason fir the 3 star. The other reason was the wait (to order and check out) due to the lack of staff and the other is the price. $66 for 2 burgers, fries and onion rings which the portions aren't worth the $10 price. Will we return? Possibly but not any time soon. @Manager. First, condolences to you and your family . But I notice you are very defensive in your few responses to reviews. And im sure you're going to take offense to this comment also but it is not to offend you or your business but more-so to help. I noticed you haven't even taken the time to respond to those that have given you good to great reviews. Those people deserve your attention more. And even in the responses you have given, there are more professional ways of defending your establishment. Like thanking the person for patronizing your business whether they gave you a good or bad review (they spent their hard earned money). Then thanking them for taking the time to leave you a review (good or bad) and read reviews with the intent to understand not to respond. We don't know what's going on in your personal life when we enter your establishment just as you don't know what's going on in ours.. you expect us to repect your business upon entering as we expect a level of service and professionalism that makes us feel good about spending our money. If your loss was going to impact your service maybe inform people when they enter that service is going to be a little slow due to short staff. I see your favorite thing to say is "our prices are listed". Don't you think we know that? Don't you think we seen the price on the menu when we ordered? So obviously we're not complaining about the price but more so what we got for the price. Though we can see how much we're going to spend before ordering, we can not see what we're getting for what we're spending until it comes out. And that is what I was referring to.. price vs portion. And my review said some good things also and said we would possibly return.. but that now will not happen. Please just think before you respond to people and remember they have already given you their hard earned money before making reviews of your business good or bad.. so always lead with a "Thank You..."

RESTAURANT REVIEW: 3 Seventeen Happy Hour Friday…read more Let me start by saying this: the food is absolutely delicious. That's the reason this review still earns 4 stars despite some very noticeable issues that management should address. First things first, 3 Seventeen needs to advertise that they have TWO Happy Hour menus. We specifically called beforehand to ask about Happy Hour offerings, and at no point were we informed that reservations are practically required. As potential new and returning customers, that information would have been extremely helpful. When we arrived, every table was reserved. Every. Single. One. We ended up sitting separately at the bar until a very kind hostess noticed the situation and was able to move us to a table together off to the side of the bar area. Shoutout to her because she saved the experience before it even started. The Drinks After ordering our food and cocktails, our margaritas arrived. I looked down and immediately thought someone had brought me a cup of lemonade. Why? Because the margarita was served in a plastic cup. Naturally, I asked why. I was told that after a certain time, all drinks are served in plastic cups because customers frequently break the glassware. Now I understand wanting to protect inventory, but here's the problem: 3 Seventeen is a beautiful venue. The décor and aesthetics create an upscale vibe, yet the drink presentation completely works against that image. A handcrafted margarita loses some of its magic when served in the same cup used at a family barbecue. Adding to that, I noticed the shelves behind the bar were completely bare of glassware. Then there was another issue that management should seriously consider addressing. The walkway from the bar toward the rear of the building exposes the area where hookahs are assembled and supplies are stored in plastic bins. From a customer's view, it looked cluttered and somewhat unsanitary. A decorative partition or curtain would make a huge difference. Presentation matters, and once customers start questioning what they're seeing, they start questioning other things too. Honestly, it almost made me lose my appetite. The Food Thankfully, the food arrived... and that's when things got MUCH better. Spinach Dip & Homemade Chips Creamy, flavorful, and paired with fresh homemade chips. Every bite was warm, cheesy, and satisfying. Spinach Dip with Shrimp This version takes things to another level. The juicy shrimp on top added extra flavor and made an already good appetizer even better. Fried Shrimp The shrimp were HUGE. Well... most of them. One shrimp looked like the little cousin trying to sneak into the family photo. I wasn't sure if they ran out of the jumbo shrimp or if one simply wandered into the wrong basket, but it definitely stood out. Loaded Fries The loaded fries are made with steak fries. If you're not a fan of thick-cut fries, keep that in mind before ordering. They were loaded and filling, but definitely potato-forward. Catfish Nuggets Now let me give everyone a pro tip: Order the catfish nuggets and dip them in the Hot Honey Sauce. Trust me. That combination is a COMPLETE game changer. The sweet heat from the sauce mixed with the crispy catfish created one of the best bites of the entire evening. The Birthday Celebrations Now... let's discuss the elephant in the room. The birthday celebrations need a complete overhaul. At one point, there were FIVE birthdays happening at the same time. The staff, who were already stretched thin, were literally running from table to table singing "Happy Birthday" and delivering bottles of champagne. ‍‍ It looked chaotic. Customers were confused. Employees looked exhausted. The entire process felt disorganized and distracting. To be completely honest, it was one of the most ridiculous and chaotic birthday processes I've seen at a restaurant. The staff did their best, but the system simply isn't working. Final Thoughts What makes this review difficult is that the employees were genuinely wonderful. Everyone was friendly. Everyone was trying. Everyone appeared to care. The real issue isn't the staff. The issue is that the operational systems have not caught up with the vision of the establishment. The owner has clearly invested a lot into making 3 Seventeen visually beautiful. The space is gorgeous. However, the service flow, staffing levels, reservation communication, drink presentation, birthday procedures, and overall customer experience need attention. The good news? These are fixable problems. Because the hardest thing to fix is usually the food... and fortunately, the food is fantastic. With stronger management processes, better staffing support, improved presentation, and a few operational adjustments, 3 Seventeen has the potential

I wish they would have left it in longer. The fries were barley there probably 12 fries and eight tots. The portions were horrendous. I don't think I would try again.

I tried my way through a good portion of the happy hour menu because...research, of course. And apparently it came with entertainment because I was NOT expecting the presentation that came with those lamb chops! OMG. I'm not even going to ruin it just watch the video for yourself. The hot wings were one of my favorites. They had heat, but not the kind where your chest is on fire and you're questioning all your decisions. They had this buttery richness underneath the spice that made the flavor just right. We also had the nachos and chicken quesadillas, and whoever was in charge of the cheese understood the assignment! No dry, barely-there quesadillas over here. This was such an unexpectedly great experience.
