Mary Y.

This place is pricey, but it is reasonably priced. I got the beef brisket, I understand beef is expensive but it wasnt fulfilling to me. Also, the cornbread is just too hard. I'm not sure if it supposed to be super hard. I couldnt eat it without drinking water. The chicken were good, but lack flavor. Especially the Tennessee hot flavor. The banana cream pie! Omg it was soooo good! Definitely a must get!! The service was good. The food came out in a orderly manner. The ambiance was good. It was very vibing and lowkey. Something new to try!

Chicken & Waffles with Cornbread with Honey Butter
Chalandra G.

The food was SO GOOD! I'm from Alabama and just moved here and been LOOKING for a place to get some soul food. Everything was 5 stars except maybe the collard greens. But everyone else on the table loved their chicken and waffles and sides. The Mac and cheese was perfect! The drink was refreshing and chicken was seasoned . Will definitely be coming back!

Chicken Plate with white meat (comes with coleslaw and cornbread)
Benjamin S.

Revival is such a solid restaurant. I can't believe I've lived here for as long as I have without trying it. FOOD: I got the chicken plate with white meat. It comes with coleslaw and cornbread. It was very good, although I envied the choice of the brisket or pulled pork plate/platter. I overlooked these other options because sometimes the meat isn't that great, but here it looked incredible. AMBIANCE: it's a small, cozy, comfortable restaurant. Good for time with friends, a date, or a work meal. There was one table in the sun all evening and of course that was ours (so steer clear of that around sunset) but otherwise was great. PARKING: they have a small lot and there's street parking nearby SERVICE: a little slow but friendly and helpful.

Brisket Hash
Jean G.

Brisket GAS. Such wonderful flavors. We tried a little of everything. The biscuits were moist. The chicken was slap yo momma tender. The drinks were unmatched. The service was amazing and the vibes were beaming.

Brunch cocktails
Ronald C.

My friends described our brunch with words like these: "some of the best fried chicken I've had in the cities," "I would make a meal of just those biscuits," and "my bbq pulled pork sandwich had bones or cartilage or something in it." Personally, I had the chicken and waffles, and fair enough, the chicken was on the bone. I didn't expect that but it was tasty (even at $21). We also had cocktails which were very yummy. The server was really cool and very kind with recommendations. We were shocked to find the place mostly empty on a Sunday morning- could have been the snow. I should warn you about the music, in case you're someone who cares, it was filled with profanity. Some folks might not want to hear songs about pu**y while eating breakfast. /shrug/ All this to say I'll def be back. The food and atmosphere were bomb.

Chicken dinner
Lisa S.

Southern cooking is the reason to check out Revival. The weather didn't allow outdoor seating yet so we cozied up in the dining area. Liked the welcoming vibe. Good mixture of date night and groups of friends at the tables. Since this was my first time here, I had to choose the chicken dinner, southern fried, white meat. It came with slaw and a corn bread muffin. Loved the batter on the chicken. The chicken was so moist and juicy. Great meal. Husband had the pork shoulder sandwich. It was also excellent. Great flavor on the pork and he loved the KC sweet BBQ sauce. It did not come with sides so he ordered a shareable side of Mac n cheese. It had a nice crispy crust on top and lots of cheese and cork screw noodles. Since it was happy hour, we started with some $5 cheese curds. They had a sprinkle of honey on them. Had not had them served like that before and it was a fun option. I would love to give a 5 rating but I knocked down one because my wine pour was a bit ridiculous. I would be surprised if there was even 5oz of wine in the glass for a happy hour price of $11. I also had a blood orange margarita and that was not only beautiful but also very tasty. Parking was on street. There is a lot that currently fits 4 cars. Service was good. Note there is a service fee of 6% that is not part of tip.

Mac and Cheese, Burger, Cajun Fries
Stephanie S.

The Mac and Cheese was a little too runny and thus lacking flavor. The burger was good but the bun was way too sweet. Even the Cajun fries had too much sweetness in it in my opinion because why should they have sweetness? At any rate I would give every item a 8.75/10

Chopped Brisket Sammie
Danny A.

Wow wow wow. As to be expected, Revival has done it yet again with their newest addition Revival Smoked Meats. A beautiful, open and bright space with a gorgeous outdoor patio. Lots of wood and plants make the space feel like home. The food is absolutely INCREDIBLE. We started with the Drop Biscuits. The order comes with 2 huge biscuits and come out warm and fresh with a flaky, buttery exteriors and soft, melt in your mouth interior. Soooo good. For my entree I went with the Chopped Brisket Sammie. This sandwich came stacked to the moon with a mountain of tender brisket. I absolutely cannot wait to get back and enjoy more of their smoked meats. Do not hesitate. You are not going to be disappointed. Well done, Revival!

Cheese Curds
Coree S.

Emma our server was fantastic! She answered all of my questions and gave me recommendations, which were spot on! The cheese curds with honey were to die for, but the best item that we had was by far the waffle... It was light fluffy, and the most delicious waffle I've ever had ! we will definitely be back.

Half Chicken (Nashville hot)
David L.

I usually don't have high expectations for fried chicken but wow I was impressed. The chicken was juicy and crispy and the half chicken definitely gets you the best bang for your buck. I got the Nashville hot flavor; while it wasn't overtly spicy, it definitely had some kick to it. The pickles were a nice addition to the dish. The pickle is a sweet pickle with a slight tang and was very complimentary to the chicken. Everything is a la carte so you'll have to order sides but I highly recommend the Mac and cheese and the biscuits. The mac was a little too runny than I prefer but it was still very good. The biscuits were soft and flakey; the butter that came with the biscuits was a honey butter that was absolutely delicious. I definitely recommend Revival to anyone that's looking for a delicious chicken experience. Our waitress was also awesome when it came to recommending food and sides. I don't remember her name but she was an absolute delight.

Fried Chicken
Johnnie B.

Visited Revival for National Fried Chicken day. The chicken came out quick. It was good, not heavy seasoned but good, wry moist and was brined. The collards were good also, a little vinegary but good. I would have liked a little more grits with my cheese, but they were good also. I wanted to complain about the seasoning, or the vinegar, or the grits, but I found myself eating everything and enjoying it. They cooked the food in their style and I liked it. I'll be back in the future and I'll probably order the same stuff.

Cheddar Drop Biscuits
Liz G.

Food was delicious if you are craving southern cooking. Everything was piping hot and fresh. The brussel sprouts are a must - they have so much depth of flavor - sweet, salty, crunchy, tart! Chicken was perfectly crispy and tender inside. The cheddar biscuits are also a must holy cow! Service was very attentive, kind and helpful. The place is small but doesn't feel crowded. Cute and funky decor.

We here
ThomaS T.

Southern fried chicken -although the chicken came warm, it's still tasty and tender. Crunchy on the outside and lightly flavored. The half bird is enough to feed 2. Will try the Nashville hot if the mood strikes again. The front seemed vague on some things I asked. If the chicken were hot , man it would be soo good. There is a 20% service charge added to the bill.

What time is the dinner menu available?

Dining from 11AM to 10PM menu items and prices the same.

How long is the wait during lunch time on a weekday usually? What can I expect? Crazy lines?

I have been there a couple times for weekday lunch and no wait each time!

How does carryout orders work? Can't see where you can order online. Can you phone in an order?

You can actually order online through Bite Squad now. Looks like they have pick up or delivery options.

There was no one to greet you, I think this is mostly a take out place on the weekdays. I go into the back where I see a buffet looking area, before that i see that there are two papers on the wall. A price for in-dining, per lb and a price for take out. There is a young man there and I tell him I'm eating in. He takes a plate, and loads it which what I want. It's a shame its by per lb, because there were so many good item so to try, but I could only put so much on the plate. I got greens, yams, black eyed peas, bbq chicken leg and mac n cheese and jerk spaghetti. The food was overall good and I loved the jerk spaghetti and bbq chicken leg the best. I wanted to try some other stuff but I wasn't going to pay another $20 something for it.

*I did not dine at the restaurant*…read more My review is based on my job ordering Mama Sheila's for a BHM luncheon. They ordered bbq chicken, smothered chicken, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, green beans & cornbread. If i'm being honest none of the food looked appetizing in the serving trays so I was already skeptical. I've always kind of heard mixed reviews about MS but it was still on my list to check it out. My job allowed us 1 meat option, 1 side + green beans and cornbread. I got the bbq chicken and it was sitting in a watery bbq sauce (which was explained by a coworker serving it as it's a bbq gravy?) I got the baked mac and cheese, which a soul food restaurant should be able to deliver... it was just salty! The cheese burnt on top was inedible and it overall it wasn't good. The cornbread was really dry. Overall not good.

He's always extremely welcoming, helpful, and makes a stiff drink. Fri-Sun they shop runs a "backdoor burger bar" after the normal po' boy shop house and you know I had to get the fried cauliflower. The dish is, more or less, the same as the one from Little Tijuana so I had to get it. This version seemed to have been made a bit more "edina" by removing a lot of the spicy ginger flavor from the original that I love so much. It was still really good, though. Perfectly tempura'd florets with kewpie and a sweet soy-based sauce like hoisin. I'd get it again (I always do) but recommend getting the full Little T's experience if you get the chance

I won't lie the poboy was good but what made it amazing is the lemon aioli that I added to it. The boudin balls were chicken and actually tasty. I give it 4 out 5 and I will definitely try again.

We had reservations and were seated immediately. I chose the spare ribs for my dinner and Husband had the pulled pork sandwich. The ribs were served with a zesty dry rub and sauce on the side.

Wish my meal would have been a titch hotter in temp but the food was tasty. We finished with the smoky crème brûlée which was delicious. The layout was cozy and dark with the bar at the center.
