    Catfish, fried shrimp, Cajun crab fries
    Aaron T.

    We ordered the catfish and shrimp combo, which should have came with two sides, but it only came with one. We ordered cheesy grits, mac and cheese, and jambalaya on the side. Unfortunately, the beignets were unavailable. The jambalaya tasted like something straight out of a box - 2/10. The mac and cheese was a 4/10. The grits were decent but definitely needed salt and pepper. The catfish was extremely thin, and the shrimp were also very small. I honestly expected more authentic Southern Soul food flavors and a more welcoming experience. Unfortunately, it just didn't live up to what I was hoping for. On a positive note, the pricing was decent for the area. However, I wasn't greeted when I came up to the counter, which made the experience feel very unwelcoming overall. Sadly, I probably won't be back and can't really recommend it based on this visit.

    We were so excited to see Southern Comfort Kitchen open up a restaurant closer to us in the San Pedro Market Square in San Jose! We have been a fan of theirs at their Castro Valley location for years! This is more of a "food stall" with a slightly smaller menu than their other location. One kiosk to order from. Plenty of seating options inside and outside and plenty of restrooms spread out throughout the marketplace. We ordered the... 50/50 w/ Cajun Fries: Half this and half that pick 2 of the following 2pc Mississippi Catfish fileted, 4 Gulf Shrimp, 2 Oysters 2pc Chicken Strips served w/ remoulade sauce & your choice of 1 side. Blackened Shrimp w/ Grits: 7 Gulf Shrimp pan seared w/ blackened seasoning, garlic, butter, worcestershire infused creamy Abita Beer Sauce on Cheesey Grits. Brussels Sprouts: Fried crispy with a drizzle of maple syrup, sea salt, and black pepper. Jambalaya: Their famous Cajun rice dish with the trinity, chunks of chicken, beef and pork andouille sausage, and spices topped with green onions (no pic). Come check them out.

    I was lucky enough to just happen upon their pre-opening few months ago and tried them out. The store wasn't listed on yelp or google at the time so I didn't write a review at then, so this is all coming from my memory. I was in San Pedro for a beer and saw that there was a brand new store. Southern comfort food. I thought heck, let's try it! I've been to the deep south few times for work as well as New Orleans, and I absolutely loved the southern food. But, I didn't expect much to be honest, since it is in middle of San Jose. Although south bay got some amazing places like the Jackie's Place (I have to do a review on them someday), it's not really not known for southern comfort food. I've got their catfish po'boy and got the fries upgraded to crab fries. When the food came out with the generous portion, I was already feeling good. I took a bite out of the sandwich and hit with a shock. It was just like, or even better than many of the authentic cat fish I've had in the south. The cornmeal around the fish had the perfect flavor and texture that you really can't find outside the south. The sauce and the bread all worked out in unison. The crab fries had plenty of crab and went amazing with the seasoned fries and the condiments. I'm so excited to have this place as the new addition to San Pedro. It's right near market beer company so it's great to enjoy the food wish some refreshing beer. I kind of like this other building in San Pedro since it's usually much more chill than the main one, so the atmosphere is on point for me. Staffs were nice and friendly too. I am sure to come back for more, many times.

    Chicken Sandwich
    Jerica H.

    Delicious!! All around. I had the grits and the flavor was great! I had a bite of my boyfriend's sandwich and it was wonderful, we originally wanted to order the hot chicken, but the staff member informed me it was sound out when I asked after I didn't see it on the ordering kiosk. Ooo and the beignets were so tasty too! Love a sweet treat! The friendly staff and delicious food definitely make it a great addition to San Pedro Square!

    Thank you so much Brett and Jihad for the great hospitality and scrumptious food! We needed a taste of Nola in the Bay. Highly recommended.

    Happy they're in san jose so I dont have to commute to their east bay locations. Craving their muffaletta, andnit didnt disappoint Their fish was suuuper juicy. And I could've done without their tenders this time. Also, ordered crab fries, and I failed to check my box before leaving. Love thay they put the sauce on the side, but wasnt as great as past experiences aside from SJ.

    Danny V.

    The fries tasted stale and not enough shrimps or fries in the po boy I love y'all's OG restaurant but I don't think the SJ location represents y'all well. Compared to your IG posts it doesn't look up to par. I also sent this to their Instagram to give them feedback and was left on read.

    The food is so bomb. Perfectly seasoned and cooked. We are frequent visitors of san pedro square market and this is exactly what they've been missing. One person was running the resto and they were so energetic and kind!

    chicken sandwich with fries
    Joseph C.

    service was good nothing crazy friendly or anything, food was honestly mid and a let down, got the chicken sandwich with the slaw on the side instead of on it and im glad i dis because it was bad, kfc slaw hits harder tbh. the fries were very overcooked and crisp while some were soft. ( my friend ordered a sep batch of fries and theirs came out much better so unsure of the inconsistency) the chicken sandwich itself was eh. lots of other food spots to go to instead of this at this market square! :)

    How grits should look. (Screen Door Restaurant)

    I was craving some shrimp and grits, so we decided to try out Southern Comfort. The hubbys Who Dat chicken was delicious and the sauce was flavorful. My shrimp and grits was a bummer. Grits are not supposed to be soup, but alas here we are. Hush puppies were a bit overcooked but delicious. The Mac and cheese was ok, I liked they used shell pasta. Maybe they were having an off day, it happens.

    This place is pretty good. If you're looking for some Southern Comfort food look no further. Everything was seasoned well and very tasty. Service was nice and friendly. If you're in the area, pull up.

    What's left of my 50/50 catfish & shrimp
    Tanisha F.

    I saw this place on DoorDash and I wasn't sure what to expect really. Well expectations were meet & exceeded. The food was so amazing! It was so good & flavorful I had to share with my friends. For lunch I ordered the mac n cheese (without breadcrumbs), red beans & rice, and 50/50 catfish and shrimp. I wanted to sample as much as I could so happy I did! Definitely will be ordering from here again!! In fact I will be taking my friends to this restaurant for lunch in a couple weeks. I know it will be better fresh out the kitchen!

    Deconstructed Catfish Po Boy.   You're supposed to deconstruct the sandwich, not the catfish!!!

    You need to educate your employees what the "Deconstructed" option means when you order a Po Boy thru Doordash. The first two times my "Deconstructed" Po Boy came with all the ingredients separated as expected (bread, catfish, slaw, sauce). This time they literally deconstructed the catfish in our Po Boys.

    I wish I could stop coming back, but it's too good. The shrimp and grits with beer sauce and Mississippi catfish are to-die for.

The diavola pasta had a great texture and a flavorful sauce, although it felt a little simple since there weren't many other ingredients mixed in. The crispy brussels sprouts weren't for me, not very crispy and a bit hard. The gelato was much better than I expected and ended up being a nice way to end the meal. The service was great though and the lighting inside nice! Overall, the meal was a bit hit-or-miss, but I'd come back to try more of the pizzas since those were definitely the highlight

    Hey there party People…read more Decided to venture into Willow Glen today on the hunt for something new to try. Boy howdy did we hit the Mother Load with "The Table". We hit the Brunch hour and the place was rocking. We were able to sit right down amazingly. There is a fabulous patio to people watch and enjoy the California weather. Our server Charles was really great. He walked us through the menu giving us the 911 on watch to order. Most of the plates were perfect shareable bites. Making it easy to try multiple plates and really get your inner Foodie on. We started with the Seasonal Banana Pancakes with crushed walnuts and cinnamon maple syrup. Inside the pancakes were fresh bananas and the walnuts were crushed very small but added a great texture. Moving on to the Chicago Steak sandwich don't get confused but in Chicago they refer to Roast Beef as steak. The Au Jus dip was very flavorful without being a salt bomb. Loved the potato roll they used all round a killer sandwich. Going a little outside the box we tried the Jerk Chicken Sandwich. The pineapple slaw with this amazing peppery chutney type sauce played so well with the acid of the pineapple. Another must have sandwich. I ask you how can you go to a new restaurant and not have some dessert. With everything else being so good our expectations were pretty high and we were not disappointed. The Giant Profiterole is exactly that GIANT and stuffed with White Chocolate Gelato and Hot Chocolate Sauce that you can drizzle over the top. To fricken die for good. If you are in Willow Glen and you don't stop here you are missing out on something wonderful. Be kind to one another

When we were seated, we were given a list of items that were not available. I originally wanted to try the pancakes but ended up ordering the chicken sandwich instead. This was genuinely one of the worst chicken sandwiches I have ever had. It was extremely gristly, fatty, and made with dark meat, which felt like an odd choice for a chicken sandwich. I'm not sure why this cut of chicken was used. The fries were alright, but they did not come with the sandwich and cost an additional $5. Our total came to almost $90 for three entrees with no beverages. I was especially frustrated because my sandwich was inedible. For the price and quality, I will not be returning and would not recommend this place.
