    This review is based solely on my interaction with staff, as I didn't get the chance to try any food: I had been hearing great things about the Old School Brunch here, so I made a reservation through OpenTable a month in advance and was really looking forward to it. When I arrived, the place was packed with a great atmosphere and music. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill from there. When I checked in, the hostess had difficulty hearing me over the music and seemed visibly annoyed during the interaction. We were first seated at a very small table directly in a high-traffic walkway. I asked to be moved, and while she did relocate us, it was to a booth right next to the kitchen--another busy spot that wasn't ideal. After waiting a while, a server came by and I explained the situation. I noticed a few other open tables and booths, but was told they were reserved--even though I also had a reservation. At one point, I even asked about a table that had just been cleared, but was again told no for the same reason. Overall, I was disappointed not only by the lack of flexibility, but also by the dismissive and unaccommodating attitude from staff. It really took away from what I had hoped would be a great experience.

    I thought I left a review for this already! It was an absolutely terrific experience. The food came out quite quickly and was absolutely delicious. The burger had some mento cheese on it for a signature touch. The ribs had pomegranate seeds and scallions in a little nut crumble. They were absolutely Divine and I will be going back for those. The baked potato also had some pimento cheese in it which was different and I don't know if I loved it but I definitely didn't hate it! The patio was beautiful and we went on such a nice temperature and clear day so it was perfect. The service is very southern as in they were very hospitable and at their pace. Bathrooms were nice enough. Parking is free and there's a lot right across the street with ample spots.

    Brunch at South Bar and Kitchen was definitely a whole vibe You can go à la carte, but listen... go ahead and do the brunch. Trust me. For $49.99, they start bringing the food OUT. We're talking fresh watermelon to kick things off, then catfish bites (crispy, seasoned just right), and deviled eggs--which, okay, weren't my favorite, but everything else made up for it real quick. Now let's talk about those biscuits... BABY. Fresh baked, warm, with this glaze on top that just melts into them. Then they hit you with berry jam, hot honey, AND pecan butter?! Yeah... disrespectfully good. For my main, I had the shrimp and grits--creamy, flavorful, no complaints. My man got the scramble skillet with a side of sausage and cleaned his plate, so you already know what that means. The vibe? Super chill at first, but don't get it twisted--it fills up FAST. We got there early (pro move), and by the time we were leaving, it was packed. Oh--and if you're outside with your people, go ahead and add the $25 unlimited bubbles and Bloody Marys. That's just common sense Overall? I'm absolutely running this back. Perfect spot for a group brunch, good food, good energy, and a reason to get a little cute and step out.

    MORE DEVILED EGGS PLEASE !!! Nestled in a newly gentrified area in Pompano Beach within an old warehouse type district. This corner eatery is open for lunch Tuesday - Friday, live music on the weekends with a weekday happy hour 4p - 7p drink specials and 50% off Hankerin' appetizers. The interior dining room boasted a white industrial ceiling with exposed ventilation shafts festively decorated with red and gold Christmas tinsel and garlands, complemented by brown wood flooring providing a sense of warmth. The outide patio gloated with a massive historically protected Banyan tree which was surely the focal point of this southern vibe restaurant. The tree provided natural shade for the surrounding seating. After manipulating several tables to support our large party, we finally found refuge under the Banyan tree which sheltered us from the blazing sun. The server, who doubled as the sole bartender, took our cocktail, beer and appetizer orders and was quick to return with our drinks. The deviled eggs were plated a few minutes later. The eggs were surprisingly dyed pink filled with cajun whipped yolks, green onion, smoked trout roe and chicken crisps - a masterpiece of edible art. I nibbled on a few, but the wife quickly devoured several deliberately staying away from her mouth as a safety precaution. Ordered an average size 6.5 ounce burger with candied bacon jam and roasted garlic mayo which made this juicy beef burst with flavor. There was a spacious cement courtyard next to the patio with a large multi-colored butterfly mural on the wall. The courtyard is partially covered with green astro turf accompanied by a Corn Hole game ready to play while waiting for your meal. The exterior patio and courtyard is surely kid friendly. Today, there were more kids then adults, running around climbing on benches, crawling under tables and screaming. Take my advice, if you are coming here for a relaxing lunch, DO NOT sit outside. The gender assigned bathroom was spotless and absolutely beautiful with gold faucets over the stainless steel trough style sink. Light wood flooring with black tile and green painted walls really inspired a classic appearance. The little details and the tasty food were really appreciated.

    Crab Beignets
    Aliya H.

    I've been wanting to check this place out for their bottomless brunch. It was really good! We tried a bunch of everything but the standout were definitely the blue crab beignets. They were INSANE! I ordered 3 orders just for myself. The bottomless was very good too, different selection from the traditional mimosas. Live music too. And it wasn't very busy so it was nice. A must try.

    Brunch menu

    While placing my order for plates off their unlimited brunch menu, I was joking on text that I felt like a snake having a huge meal. Yes because even their small plates are filling and delicious! I found South Bar & Kitchen on the way home from a weekend work meeting in Ponpano Beach (having to work on a holiday weekend is reason enough to indulge!!) Located in the Old Town area of Pompano Beach off Atlantic Avenue and just before getting on I-95, this cool little spot has a variety of dishes in both their inside and terrace dining spaces. I ate inside to be able to watch the UM game on TV, but the outside has a nice little terrace under a huge tree. The downtempo / jazzy R&B was perfect to chill out to. At least during Saturday brunch, there was free street parking available. When I walked in, Faith the hostess was friendly in explaining their Saturday morning unlimited brunch menu. While drinks are extra, $54 for 2 hours is a great deal, and the menu selection is huge; you can even repeat courses. (For beverages, I just had a couple of strong cups of Americano coffee , passing on other drinks.) Once seated, Alyssa was my waitress. She was equally friendly and right on point with her recommendations. I started with their bacon jam sliders - fluffy rolls with a seasoned but slightly sweet sauce on yummy beef & fresh greens. Eating with my eyes, I then went for the brunch staple of chicken & waffles. South serves their as a fluffy slider, garnished with green onions & powdered sugar supporting deliciously spicy pieces of lightly breaded chicken. Before indulging in their dessert (my "healthy" bit of greek yogurt and fresh berries, make sure to hold space for the candied bacon. You're welcome !

    Shrimp and grits
    Janice H.

    Came here for dinner on a Sunday evening and was disappointed. I've came to South for their brunch and have enjoyed it but the dinner is really lacking. First off, before we ordered, we were told they were out of a few items (we came at 6:00pm and dinner started at 4:00pm). We ordered two kids grilled cheese meals, shrimp and grits and the chicken sliders. Let's start with the positives - my children enjoyed their grilled cheese sandwiches and fries. Now for the negatives - the chicken sliders appeared to have been reheated (maybe leftover from the morning brunch?) the chicken tasted old/tough & lacked taste and the biscuits were hard/overcooked/over reheated. The shrimp and grits had no taste. The restaurant was clean and quiet, not that many people there, but the food was terrible.

    Deviled Eggs
    Barry D.

    Nice, casual place with a southern themed menu. Drinks were good. Food was better. Po Boy was on point. Deviled eggs were a sight! Fried chicken and sweet potato are a can't miss. Server was great, even at about of the way outside table. Will be back.

    The pork, rice and goat cheese egg rolls (boudin rolls)
    Carole P.

    We went for happy hour. We got ribs (cooked to Perfection, fell off the bone, excellent seasoning, we loved it!) We got chicken wings. Good flavor, a little overcooked... and they don't have wet wipes? Bizarre We got boudin rolls (pork and rice and goat cheese egg roll... phenomenal) Bar was slammed packed. The bathrooms were clean and stocked. The staff was friendly. We did happy hour stuff, can't really speak to menu items

    Friday was a busy night in Old Town Pompano as their first Friday night of the month started up again with the outdoor band, vendors and food trucks. Although the food trucks were tempting my friends and I opted for indoor, seated dining. Hence, we chose South Bar & Kitchen which is huge and does have music and seating outdoors as well. The atmosphere was lively. The service was good and the food was delicious. We had Gumbo, Caesar Salad, VooDoo Muscles, Classic Cheeseburgers, Collard Greens, Shrimp Po' Boy and Smoked Wings. Every dish was delicious, but the Gumbo was the best.

    Lychee martini
    Laura R.

    Came here for lunch with my family and friends and sat under the banyan tree on the patio. Parking was across the street and completely free. My lychee martini was tasty and put me into a relaxed stress free state. Ate several deviled eggs that were very tasty and my husband had a flavorful burger BUT unfortunately I had the chicken Caesar salad but alot of my chicken was fatty - not happy.

    Inside
    Evelina K.

    Our group highly enjoyed this place. It had wonderful service with very knowledgeable staff. The area inside and outside the restaurant was very beautiful and elegant and this restaurant would be a great date night spot. The food was amazing! My personal highlight was gumbo because it's so rare to find in south florida.

Parking was conveniently located right in front of the restaurant, making it an easy stop. As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted and invited to sit wherever we liked. We chose a table near the window and immediately appreciated the intimate and charming atmosphere. The restaurant also features a bar and televisions, creating a relaxed and welcoming vibe. Our waitress was pleasant, attentive, and made us feel right at home, which always enhances the dining experience. Although we weren't extremely hungry, the menu had so many appealing options that we decided to sample a few items. We started with the Caribbean Tea shots, which were unique, refreshing, and surprisingly enjoyable. For drinks, we ordered a Malbec and a Peanut Butter Old Fashioned. Our first entrée was the Churrasco Frites, featuring marinated skirt steak topped with chimichurri and served with twister fries. The steak was cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful, but those fries were the true star of the dish. Still wanting more, we ordered the Garlic Parmesan Twice Cooked Wings. They were nicely prepared and satisfying, though I would have enjoyed a stronger garlic flavor. Not quite finished, we moved on to the Oaxaca Burger, an 8 ounce burger stacked with onion rings, bacon jam, house BBQ sauce, and Oaxaca cheese. This was one of the best burgers I've ever had, and possibly the best. The bun was toasted yet soft, the burger was seasoned perfectly, and it was cooked to a juicy medium temperature. Every bite was packed with flavor. Overall, everything we ordered was excellent, and the service and atmosphere made the experience even better. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning.

To their credit, the staff handled it very professionally and took it back without any issue, which I appreciated. The rest of the table had a much better experience with their meals. The steak and salads especially got good reviews from everyone and looked very well prepared. Even though my dish missed the mark, the service and atmosphere were solid enough that I'd still consider giving eTwic another try in the future. Sometimes one item just doesn't hit, and there were definitely enough positives about the restaurant to make me curious to come back and try something different next time. I know that one friend at the table really enjoys this place so I must believe that she has good taste!
