    Classic Po'Boy
    Samantha J.

    I placed the order via door dash for pick up so I can't speak too much to the service but I could see the kitchen may have been overwhelmed once we arrived to grab our order. That said, the food was on point! The shrimp in the classic po boy was cooked to absolute perfection. Crispy on the outside with succulent, juicy shrimp on the inside. The bread tasted fresh and came with a good balance of sauce, tomato, and pickles. The crab fries were well portioned and TASY!! I will definitely be back for these!

    Fried Catfish and Shrimp

    Yep, Southern Comfort is a solid 4. I had spent 10 days in Alameda and was looking for something different and interesting. This was it. I am a southern boy and love my Cajun food. I was really busy while in town and was thrilled that Grubhub delivered to my address. I ordered fried catfish ans shrimp. The catfish was mild sand perfectly seasoned, The ship was also good, but wish I had tarter sauce. Maybe I missed is. My son wanted Etoufee', but unfortunately, it dropped off of the menu later in the day. We got the seafood gumbo instead and it did not disappoint. I also think I would like hushpuppies in the future as well. Southern Comfort filled my soul! Yeah, I enjoyed my meal very much and will definitely order from them again!

    This was a DoorDash order- Seafood from this place is 10/10 but I was very disappointed with their side dishes. I ordered jambalaya and it missed the mark. Tomato disguised as links. It broke my heart. . Brussel sprouts however were amazing if you like them sweet.

    Regular Fries

    Always hits the spot! This time, I wanted a deconstructed WhoDat and man, was it good! Unfortunately, I inhaled it so quickly, I forgot to take pix! LOL Thanks to the always wonderful staff!

    Crawfish Pasta
    Amani S.

    I ordered to go and was excited when I opened the lid but was then disappointed when I started eating. While it was flavorful there was not one piece of crawfish in the pasta which basically defeated the purpose of ordering. I will try again but I hope something like this doesn't happen again.

    While you won't be fooled into thinking you're in Coop's, in New Orleans, the food at Alameda's own Southern Comfort Kitchen is a loving reminder to our times in the Big Easy. The fried oyster po-boy was an excellent execution of the dish, although the hush puppies were a little more like Jiffy corn muffins than I remember from Bourbon Street. The very basic, even austere, cafeteria setting reminds me of family-run places down south. Everything that we tried, and the very helpful and personable staff, makes it easy to return.

    I have eaten several times at Southern Comfort Kitchen Castro Valley and their Food Truck!!! I was aware this location opened up in Alameda 5 months ago. I rolled there today for Dinner and walked in . They were Busy as they have a Drive thru also. They seemed Over Whelmed with the Door Dash Orders . Some of the Kitchen Staff seemed undertrained. Their front Counter staff were stressed out and let the Door Dash Drivers know it . When it was my turn I Ordered a Large Bowl of Gumbo and Catfish and Fries Platter!!! My Order was 113 I waited 30 Minutes for my order and people that ordered after me were getting the orders before me WTF? Dining Room was pretty Dirty!!! Floors needed to be Swept and Tables wiped down. It was Night and Day from their Castro Valley Location!!! When I did get my food ! The Gumbo was Good!!! Just could have been hotter. The Catfish was Fried to Perfection!!! French Fries were Salted to Heavily!!! For these Reasons this is not a Baller On A Budget Approved Establishment

    Who Dat Shrimp
    Gaylord G.

    We had the cashier chose 3 of the best meals 50/50 w/catfish, shrimp and over the fries crab! 100% awesome Who Dat Shrimp with fries. Over the top with creamy creole sauce. A must order Crawfish Etouffee. Omg just like orleans! The bomb! And to end the meal being Sunday BEIGNETS. What a way to end a great meal. It was nice and quiet and ambiance was relaxing. Alameda folks, what you waiting for! There's a parking lot and drive thru. We are definitely coming back! Keep up the great food and service!

    Ive been here once before while working out in alameda and i fell in love with everything! i came in tonight after work super excited to come here again and have my significant other try this out because he is more of a foodie than me. got there about 9:45 ordered a bit of everything to try and waited about 5 minutes for our food once we got to the window. it's unfortunate to say my 3 stars are due to the very tall gentleman at the window who seemed annoyed at the fact we were there even though they close at 11..... i remembered his friendly face from last time i came here but he was so rude this time... as we finished ordering i said thank you and he forgot to stop the intercom and i heard what he had to say about us "mannn why the f** do people" etc i couldnt catch the rest but i was so shocked at that to begin with.... like wow how rude couldnt even wait to let go of the button before talking smack. once we pulled up i paid, he was kind for a bit and then back to the bitter attitude. he forgot my drink until i had to ask for it , forgot my straw so i asked him for it and then i proceeded to check the bag to make sure there were forks and he had already closed the window, when i got his attention he looked SOOO bothered it made me uncomfortable. i even threw in a "im sorry if its not too much to ask can i get a fork" and he handed me them and proceeded to slam the window in my face loudly. definitely didnt shut casually because the first time it didnt slam like that. overwll the food is so delicious but next time i'll save myself the trip across the bridge. wont be coming back to this location at all. OH and i forgot to mention i made sure to ask for no pickles and they still threw them on there.

    5 star review because of the amazing customer service! Guy at the counter was so nice and helpful! Food was great, just as it is on the truck and at the Castro Valley location! Finally made it in on a Sunday to get beignets and yum!! The crawfish étouffée is always a hit! The gumbo was different than what we are use to...but still good. Location is easy to locate. Good amount of seating. Small parking lot behind building. Love that they close later even on a Sunday.

    Red beans & rice
    Juicke C.

    My dining buddy took me to the Alameda's Southern Comfort Kitchen. More parking as compared to the Castro Valley store. Equally friendly staff and comparable menu. My go to menu item is the fried oysters and red beans & rice. Ordinarily at the CV ordering the fried oysters without fries, they offer an extra oyster in its place, here they offer side items such as salad the eventually discovered they were out so they offered several oysters as an accommodation. I guess it worked out well at the end. Having the oysters and red beans & rice was definitely too much for my appetite. So leftover they became. Overall friendly staff, speedy food delivery, the only knock is better ventilation as it was a warm day and the dining room was warm and stuffy. I would return if I'm in the neighborhood.

    Nice local spot in Alameda. Shares outdoor patio with Subway. There is parking, very limited spaces. Ordered Catfish Po boy with cajun fries. Looked and tasted amazing! Sauce was the main savory topping on my catfish! Sandwich was moist and a great balance of flavor. Sauce is flavorfully scrumptious. Great amount of food for a meal. Catfish 9/10 Fries 9/10 Sauce 10/10 Sandwich 10/10 There were 3 gentlemen working at the time I ordered. A cashier, assisted person helping and a cook. Cashier can work on his customer service but that doesn't matter cause it's the food taste and cleanliness that matters to me.

Stopped in for brunch today with our out of town guests after not having been here in a while. It was honestly a little embarrassing taking them here after gushing about how much we loved this place. Let's start with the service, which used to feel warm and homey, but the service today was odd. Our waitress seemed annoyed that we were there and I genuinely felt uncomfortable asking her for anything. The people at front of house were also a bit cold, and it took a minute to get anyone's attention to get seated because they were all scrolling on their phones. Now the food- I recommended the Benedict to our guests, and I got one as well. The eggs? Extremely overcooked. Hard middles instead of that gooey yolk you dream of with a Benedict. The whole Benedict was sloppy- broken biscuits, not enough hollandaise, dried out chicken. The person seated next to us also had issues with everything she ordered. It just felt messy. So I'm not sure what happened today, but we used to love this place. Now maybe we had a bad day, but for Saturday brunch, it was very disappointing.

Perfect balance of crispy, creamy, spicy, and fresh. * Sadly, they were out of their popular oxtail and spicy short rib tacos (thanks to that graduation crowd), but that just gives me a reason to go back. * I love that this spot supports pop-up chefs and local Black-owned businesses--you can feel the passion in every bite. Logistics & Details * Located inside Haus of Chefs (they're open Saturdays and Tuesdays only). * The bar is run separately by the owner, and it's fire--solid cocktails like the Creamy Espresso Martini or California Dreamin' round out the meal. * Don't miss the full dinner menu--Salt & Pepper Bronzino and the Jambalaya Rigatoni are next on my list. If you're in Oakland and want something soulful, flavorful, and full of love, this is your go-to Taco Tuesday move.

Out of everything I ordered, only the fish trom the second plate was decent. The rice was extremely hard, as if it wasn't cooked properly. The gravy had an unpleasant taste and ended up being poured over everything, including the macaroni and cheese, which made it difficult to enjoy. The yams were cut into huge chunks with little care or presentation. The biggest disappointment was the short ribs. The meat quality was very poor, with an unpleasant taste and texture that made it nearly impossible to eat. I was genuinely shocked by how bad it was. For the amount of money I spent, I expected much better quality, preparation, and presentation. Nothing was separated properly, and the meal felt rushed and carelessly put together. I am very disappointed, especially since this was supposed to be a Father's Day meal. I wanted to support this business, but based on this experience, I cannot justify spending $57 for food of this quality.
