Music was extremely too loud. Food was subpar. Collard greens had too much sugar. Black eyed peas were very salty. Were we asked to vacate our table as soon as we finished eating. The table was cleared as we were finishing our drinks. Workers were reaching all across us. We were told because they had a large party coming in. However, no one was waiting and there were other empty tables in the restaurant. Server was not friendly and lacked customer service skills. read more

The food was on point. Everything that came out was delicious. Service was good. Ambience. Was nice and cozy. Music was just right. read more

Southern Fire Kitchen - Birthday celebration - Southern Near Me - Brookhaven, Georgia

So coming to Atlanta from New York I thought I was going to be up to chin in southern style restaurants that served all the classic staples and boy was I wrong. There were only two options in the area and one of them closed at like 2 pm which is so strange but anyways found this place and even though its located in a strip mall it was actually a nice little vibe inside with a cute bar area. The food was like a 3.999/5 I would have given it the 4 but the seasoning on the chicken could have been a little better and the mac and cheese was more like cheese and mac. The mashed potatoesssss was the winner for me, a little heavy on the black pepper but still yummy. Prices were decent, overall a good place to grab a quick dinner qnd maybe have a drink or two. read more

This place was incredibly good! Free parking and the option to join the waitlist which was a plus. Our server was friendly and attentive. She provided a ton a recommendations which made the ordering process easy. As a table we order shrimp, short ribs, and catfish, oh the famous cornbread. Not one complaint from our party 4! That says a lot, right?!? I'll definitely be back again when visiting Atlanta. read more

10/10 definitely recommend, drinks were top tier and my meal was also delicious, the service was good and our waiter was the best. Nice chill vibes every time we enter this establishment read more

The food was very salty, not flavorful. Ordered the baked turkey wing, which was delivered room temperature not hot or warm. The greens were served cold. The mac and cheese was served hot. Service was OK, but nowhere near high quality. Would pass on this establishment for future. I am sure there are much better options with better quality service and food for the price. read more

This is an amazing place from hello to goodbye! The level of service and food is outstanding!

I wanted to love everything about Southern Fire kitchen but the service/hostess staff didn't meet the mark for me. Before arriving a had used the Yelp option to add my name to the waitlist while driving there. While driving I was removed from the waitlist (by the staff) then added back. Once I got there according to my text my table was ready. The hostess at door said the table wasn't and I had to be added to the waitlist again and wait another 45 mins. I will say I was a little frustrated but I waited patiently. (So a word of advice just don't use the Yelp app to get on the waitlist just do it once you arrive). The restaurant it self is not that big inside so once I entered I understood why the wait was so long. It was a cute spot though music was 90s r&b, it was a nice vibe for sure. The food was delicious. As far as food goes there was nothing that was not good. We all loved our food. I'll attach some pictures of what was ordered. Once we took a pause from eating our food we did feel a little rush to get up. The servers were coming to trash our plates but it was like wait a minute can I finish. Overall I would recommend it, I would just say pack your patience. read more

I come to ATL often and I am always trying new spots. I was in the mood for soul food, and I came across this spot. I came across the reviews and tiktoks, and I was prepared for the wait but I was not expecting to wait that long. I wish security would have explained that we could've sat at the bar because I would've opted for that for that to be seated sooner. The waitlist process was disorganized at best, but we move. Once inside, the place is nicely decorated with warm lighting. It is very small, hence the wait, but I didn't feel like people were sitting on top of me. The customer service was just okay to me. The staff that I interacted with weren't rude or nasty but they also weren't very pleasant. As for as my drink, I opted for the Strawberry Lemon Drop. It was good, and I liked how they had tons of options for flavors. The fried lobster appetizer was good, but very salty in my opinion. For my meal I had the fried chicken, with mac and collard greens. The mac and collard greens were a solid 9/10. The chicken although the flavor potential was there it was overpowered by saltiness and oil. I feel like the oil needed to be changed and I could taste it in the chicken. That aside, it was really hard for me to get past the saltiness of the food. I know food in ATL can be heavy on the seasoning, but this was too much for me. Overall my meal was okay, but the star of the show was my drink for me. read more

I have dined in this establishment twice. Each time the food was amazing. I ordered the turkey chops, Mac n cheese, yams, greens and cornbread. My fiancé ordered the friend whiting of which he also loved. The first time I ordered the frozen blueberry lemonade, it was delicious! My fiancé ordered the frozen blueberry margarita both times but each time they weren't "ready". On the second visit the waitress said they are usually ready around 5:30pm (they open at 4pm). We dined in at 5:30 and 4:30 respectively. Steven opted for the blueberry margarita on the rocks instead and both times he enjoyed them. He said they don't short you on the liquor! I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because both times we dined in, it was HOT. It felt like there was no ac. There was even a large industrial fan inside. For the amount of money you're spending, you'd want to be comfortable. Lastly, they are not kid friendly. They didn't have booster seats or high chairs so both times our experience was largely impacted by having to hold our toddler. I also took in consideration that both times my fiancé wasn't able to order a frozen cocktail due to them "not being ready". Other than these few "odds", the food was good, the restaurant and restrooms were clean and the ambiance was nice. read more

Southern Fire Kitchen - Fried catfish collard greens and fried okra with corn bread - Southern Near Me - Brookhaven, Georgia

My husband went here for the first time on Valentine's Day weekend. The food is really good and highly suggest making reservations. YaYa was our waitress, she took good care of us. However, there is room for improvement. They charge $5 for a non-alcoholic beverage with no refills. The glass should be bigger for that price, you get charged for 2 very small pieces of cornbread and there was no peach cobbler or red velvet cake. Maybe understandable but the restaurant had just opened the hour before. But we will give them another chance. I think it will be worth it. read more

This was my second time at Southern Fire Kitchen Brookhaven, GA, and it was just amazing as the first! We came from Charlotte, NC, and it was absolutely worth the trip.

Southern Fire Kitchen is a must- trust me you won't be disappointed! read more

Is nothing like some southern comfort food! There was security outside when we attended on a Thursday afternoon which was surprising because it was about 4 o'clock in the afternoon but I guess it's best to be safe than sorry. As soon as we walked in the ambience was delightful. The decoration lighting the pictures on the wall. Everything was amazing. They also have music playing not loud so it was great. The waiter was great giving us recommendations as this was our first time here so I did appreciate that. There was a little bit of construction going on in the restaurant in the basement I imagine because it sounded like loud banging, but we could not see where it was coming from which I definitely recommend that should be done after hours other than that. Everything else was great. read more

Southern Fire Kitchen - shrimp the BEST IN ATL!! Mac is seasoned and are greening!! - Southern Near Me - Brookhaven, Georgia

For this to be a new restaurant in the city, I have to say that this is one of the most delicious soul food places in the city. I have come many times and I've often wanted to keep this gym to myself as they are very small location and not very busy but now I just have to let someone know. As soon as they sit down, someone is there to greet you and get your drink orders. It is absolutely amazing how fast they are able to get to you without any confusion it speaks to how they operate during their training. I always get the catfish. It is something that I absolutely enjoy when I come, although I always say tell myself that I'm gonna try something different. The catfish is so amazing me and my friends are always in awe of how good it is inconsistently every single time that we come, they've got a recipe for it and it is absolutely amazing to try catfish when they come . The restaurant is very small yes however, it is very accommodating and for the size it does sit quite a few people without feeling so congested. I greatly appreciate the way they have their booth and table seated and gives you a lot of legroom and space if need to walk up to the bar or even to the bathroom without feeling like you have to squeeze in between anybody. I'm hoping that they decide to spread out and put locations all over Metro Atlanta and kind of spread out and get a bigger layout because this is a place I desperately want a little bit closer to Midtown however I will make the travel out to Brookhaven every single time. read more

The food is absolutely amazing. And the drinks... Woooowee I've never been disappointed when I eat here..

Food is outstanding. I've been coming here faithfully since. 2021 and I must say the food tastes better and better every time. On Sunday when I went I just got salmon bites okra and rice. Delicious. I usually get a whole meal like turkey chops or fried chicken are usually my go to. The sides are perfectly portioned. My favorite is macaroni cheese, collard greens, and okra. Oh, I almost forgot those candy yams 10/10 They honestly have the best soul food in Atlanta that I taste since I've been here. Every time friends and family coming to town, I always recommend Southern Fire. They've even extended it to make it bigger so the wait times are definitely not as long as they used to be for a table. The Service is usually great but I would say be prepared for NO nonsense at the door. They have security and their hostess does not play. They hold that door down. When it comes to the ambience the vibes are unmatched. Family -friendly,Great music read more

No complaints, it was pretty good soul food. We went with the Chicken, whitting and shrimp plate, everything was yummy. The only two things I didn't really care for was the cornbread and the peach cobbler. Peach cobbler with no ice cream just doesn't seem right. We got lucky and it was only a 90 min wait on a Saturday night. The ambiance is cool but the place is kind of small for its popularity. read more

I'd give this place an 8/10 overall. The music was blaring. I asked if it could be turned down a bit, but they said that the volume was set. Also, I'm a great tipper, I normally give 20% being that I've worked in the service industry. Gratuity is based on service, we never got refills. She wasn't terrible but for auto grat, the service needs to be improved. Now on to the real meat and potatoes, we ordered the honey garlic wing sand they did not disappoint. So much so that we got our wing entree sauced. The lobster bites were really good, just wished there were more for the price. :-( The Mac were good, the potatoes were nice and buttery. The yams, oh the YAMS!!! 10/10!! The collards were also tasty, I just wished they had a bit more meat in them. My picky eating 5 yo had the steak bites and she ATE!! My son had the burger and couldn't finish it. He also said it was really good. He gave it a 9/10. We also tried the blueberry lemonade with was really tasty and not super sweet, but it didn't give blueberry. It was really good though. I would recommend trying this place. read more

Everything was amazing the ambiance was great with good music and seating. Customer service was perfect from beginning to end. Very attentive and on point throughout the entire night with our party. Now for the best part the food! Everything we ordered was amazing! Lamp chops and braised spare ribs straight tenderism! Yummy yams were delectable along with the greens and string beans. Fried fish was crispy as well as the chicken and shrimp. The blueberry lemonade was the best lemonade we had as well! We will definitely be back read more

I have nothing to complain about. I got the catfish entree with two sides: Mac and yams and they were sooooo good. The cornbread was good as well and I'm not a big cornbread fan. I had the mango lemon drop to drink with Tito's, although the waiter said they're know for their casamigos lemon drops. They had a variety of flavors blueberry, mango, strawberry, etc. My sister bodied her plate so I'm assuming she enjoyed as well. She had the lobster tails with Mac and greens. read more
