We met at Jefferson's for a work class in there spacious meeting/party room. While we were having…read moreour class a delicious, buffet was set up with cheeseburger sliders, chicken wings, fried oysters, fries, and salad with any type of dipping sauce imaginable. Our drink orders were taken as we had sat down. The wait staff made you feel as if you had been there a million times. Very relaxed, comfortable, food was great, service treated you like family, bathrooms were clean. This is the place to go to hang out with friends, eat, watch the game, or have a work class. BTW- I did learn a lot from my class too.

Passing through town, my wife and I decided to stop at Jefferson's for a casual bite. I'd been once…read moreyears ago but couldn't remember much about it--so this felt like a fresh first impression. Service was warm and attentive, though with only a couple of other tables occupied, I would expect nothing less. My first drink, a flat Dr. Pepper, was quickly swapped out for sweet tea, which was far more satisfying. We started with the fried mushrooms, and honestly--they stole the show. Perfectly crisp on the outside, tender and juicy inside, and seasoned just right. We devoured every single one, which might explain why we struggled to finish our entrées. As for the mains, the roasted corn was cooked well but lacked seasoning, and the coleslaw was forgettable. My chopped steak had a nice mix of peppers and onions but arrived without the gravy promised on the menu, leaving it on the dry side. To top it off, when I asked for A1, it came in a tiny ramekin... with an extra charge. In the end, Jefferson's wasn't a disaster, but it wasn't memorable either--except for those fried mushrooms. If I ever return, it'll be for them and them alone.

Passing through the area on I-20. The restaurant is easy to access from the highway exit. It's…read moresurprisingly large with a large front patio, dining room and bar. Ambiance is a mix of old fashioned family style and sports bar. Sat outside on a perfect day. Service was friendly and friendly efficient. The menu has a large selection of burgers, sandwiches and other options. Everyone in our small group was a tator tor fan and they did not disappoint. The fried pickles on our chicken sandwich were good. Maybe not as crispy as we expected for a place famous for fried pickles. Still a nice sandwich. Value for the money was good. Might be a regular stop for us when driving between BHM and ATL.

Food has fallen from where it has been in the past.

The service was fine, but it was a little slow, maybe because they didn't have many servers working that day, when we talked to a server, we learned that the whole business had changed ownership completely, so the original owners were not in charge anymore. They actually sold the entire franchise company. There are many memories here going to college and visiting afterwards, but unfortunately, that place has changed. I still may come through here when I come through town, but just know if there are some better places in town to eat now.

Down sides the floor are sticky and so are the tables but I have a feeling it's the cleaner they use, because the waitress were cleaning the tables the whole time we were there. The bathrooms are one person capacity, outdated and hardly flushed.

The serving of curly fries was minimal at best, but the waitress took care of that for us. Brought out a fresh basket that was nice and hot. The negative reviews are true and at point.

Service wasn't the most attentive this time, but it was a busy Saturday night, so it was understandable. We started with a shared salad with house lemon vinaigrette and ranch AMAZING. For entrées, we had the Cajun Surf & Turf and the Seafood Platter, both well-seasoned and delicious, plus a bowl of gumbo (not pictured). We spent about $126 without cocktails, but it was worth it for the ambiance and quality of food.

Service = poor. Food = mediocre. Price = high. Server didn't offer water or bring any when asked…read more Food was brought out incomplete and wrong and never checked on until halfway through. Finally brought out the correct side after meal was finished and we refused it. The only thing they did right was take that off the check. Sign at the from says 'if you can't tip 20% then Cajun Roux isn't for you.' Well, if you can't provide even a basic level of service then you absolutely do not get a 20% tip. 0/10 would not recommend and will not be back.

Service at the bar was good considering every seat at the bar was taken. We ordered our food and it was out within 15-20 minutes. I ordered the Nashville hot chicken, but subbed the sides for the whole fried okra and Gouda grits. When I say those grits and okra hit.....somebody in that kitchen knows what they're doing! The chicken breasts were juicy and flavorful. The spice level was typical for Nashville hot chicken, which I sometimes I can't take. But I loved the flavor so much I couldn't stop eating it. I will eat here again when I return to the city!

I found The Southern Kitchen & Bar completely through Yelp and the Yelp reviews, and I am glad I…read moredid. When I came in, the place was crowded, which is usually a very good sign. It had a good energy right away. I had been looking at a few things on the menu and was really going back and forth. I was interested in the hot chicken, the Brussels sprouts, and also the ribeye Philly cheesesteak. They told me both were really good, and I ended up going with the ribeye Philly cheesesteak. Great choice. I also got a side salad with the chipotle ranch dressing and that was very good too. Picture below. For dessert, I was planning on getting the key lime pie, because that is usually my move, but Hayden my server talked me into trying the blueberry cobbler cheesecake instead. I am glad he did. It was very good. Picture below. Between the crowded room, the good service, and the food, this was a very strong experience all the way around. I am giving The Southern Kitchen & Bar 5 stars.

This is hands down one of our favorite libraries!…read more There's a ton of something for EVERYONE! They have teens section, kids section, a theatre I'm talking the works but the family section is why I'd say it's the BEST! The family section features soo baby things to do. For breastfeeding moms, there's a nursery for privacy. For moms with littles, there's an outside play area that's included. There's also classes for littles but register in advance because they do fill up. They also have tons of things to do throughout the month and a cute brochure to take home so you know what's happening when. Highly recommend (even if you're not a local and just stopping by).
