My Dad and I come to this place every time he has a Dr appt since we're out. He always gets the meatloaf, it's his favorite. I have been trying different meats every time I come. Service is amazing. They are always so nice. They have good music playing. I would rate the ambience as relaxed and friendly. It is reasonably priced and you get a lot of food. I usually eat about half and eat the rest for my next meal. I haven't eaten anything that I didn't like. Everything is so good, and they veggies are fantastic. Fries are crispy with soft middles and they season everything so well. Lately I've been getting the candied yams every time. It's like desert. So tasty. I love that they have boiled ocra, and greens and you get a little cornbread loaf with the meal. We went yesterday and we're going to go again today but Dads appt was cancelled and he didn't want to get out. We will definitely be back! 5 stars every time. read more

Let me start by saying I was greeted as soon as I walked in. This guy was top notch and extremely helpful. I place an order for me and 2 of my co-workers. I can't say enough nice things CHEF'S KISS to who ever is cooking this yumminess!! The fried green tomatoes were perfect and perfectly seasoned. The yams, greens and corn bread were so good and seasoned to perfection. The pork chops you could cut with your fork, chef's kiss. The catfish is always good as always. I highly recommend. read more

Mr. Q at the Southern Hands Kirby location did a wonderful job and provided great customer service. My order was mistakenly sent to the wrong restaurant.

This place is amazing. The food is tremendous. Classic southern/soul food. Definitely a local dining stop. Lots of people came in for takeout. I had fried catfish. Probably the best I've ever had. The greens and cornbread were fantastic. And the banana pudding is unbeatable. Highly recommended. read more

Came back on 9/22, boy have things gone down hill. Will be our last time eating here. Why: 1. We sat down. Lady behind the counter asked if we were eating in, I said yes. She said you have to place your order at the counter. Mothers day we sat down, a waitress came & took our order & bought it to us. Guess they're trying to cut expenses now? 2. They have a tip request on the checkout. I tipped. Wished I hadn't. Lady forgot to give me my drink cup. They bought our food to our table in 2 TO GO containers with very small plastic fork & knife. WTF? 3. I ordered the same exact meal as Mothers Day. This time, there was a small, WAY OVERCOOKED breast & no wing. Mothers day I had both, on a regular to eat in plate. 4. Greens were COLD. How can greens be cold. If the owners are trying to drive away customers, well you drove us 2 away. Good riddens. read more

My family appreciates the Southern Hands on Kirby! I pick up a couple of plates to go a few times a month, mainly on Friday or Sunday. In my experience, the food is well-prepared, generously proportioned, graciously priced -- given today's food costs -- and the wait time for a call ahead order is minimal, if any. We also appreciate that they package the food thoughtfully, lessening the chances for spills. I've never experienced anything short of friendly and welcoming customer service, which I find to be an increasingly a rare and, thus, much-appreciated practice. We are grateful Southern Hands on Kirby team for their hospitality and appetizing food! read more

Greens tasted like they came from a can. Pork chop was too salted and they so cheap with peppers and onions I even asked for extra but one small string of a pepper. The cornbread is always the best thing going. They use to be really good at this place but it has changed tremendously. Kam's Pork Chops read more

We ate at this restaurant for almost two weeks straight and didn't get tired of it. Our favorite is the meatloaf,mac and cheese,yams, and of course you have to order extra bread because it's that good. read more

The food was excellent! We had many of the sides and they were all very good. Highly recommend the cabbage and greens but everything was good and very hot (temperature). The meatloaf was big and tasty. The banana pudding was perfect. The only negative was that the eating area was not very clean at all. read more

Stop serving dry candid yams! They are not good! You all know we like juice on our yams. The cornbread is awesome and overall a good place for soul food. read more

If you have high blood pressure this is not the place for you! Way too much seasoning being used! On the other hand, the black eyed peas could have used some seasoning! The only thing good was the cornbread! But who goes to restaurants looking for cornbread Unfortunately for them and my crew, we won't be back!! read more

Ordered through grub hub, ordered banana pudding instead of calling and saying they were out they just sent cake, some nasty cake at that and charged me .50 more for the nasty cake... I called and a rude girl answered the phone and said they were out of banana pudding then said "grub hub ordered cake" No you can't change to a lie after you tell me the truth, grubhub ordered right they gave me what they wanted because they were out instead of giving mr a call. yams might as well be mashed sweet potatoes, catfish is soggy..food terrible and service even worse... I try to support our businesses but I won't be back to this one read more

So, whoa. This place definitely blew my expectations out of the water. I was nearby working and wanted a quick stop for lunch. I found this place on my Apple Maps app. The menu sounded great, although there were not many pictures. I was going to order online, but wasn't the biggest fan of the online interface. Plus, it stated to ask about the daily dessert specials in person and I was really hoping for some banana pudding, which was listed on the menu but not an option to order. So, I decided to order in store. Walking in, the atmosphere was very welcoming although most of the tables were filled. It looked like most people had ordered and were waiting for their food, both dine in and dine out. Everyone waiting seemed to be smiling. It was bizarre, but in a good way. I was listening to an audiobook, but paused it to take in the moment. I could almost feel the patrons' anxious anticipation for their food. Either that, or the people waiting were just having a great lunch hour. There was a small line that moved quickly enough even though there was only one cashier. For my order, I got the lunched portioned meatloaf with cabbage and yams. I found a seat and waited about 10-15 minutes for my order to be ready. Now, I am a southerner through and through (from Texas y'all, with love!). I love soul food and am not that easily impressed by soul food that isn't homemade. But I tell you, I devoured that heavenly meal. And it wasn't because I was hungry/hangry. The food was just so comforting, like my own grandmother had made it especially for me. I debated returning for dinner to get a bigger portion of a different meal, but figured that would look somewhat desperate. I finally understood why everyone waiting for their food looked stupidly happy. Hell, it made the rest of my day! I've already told friends and colleagues about the place. I highly recommend and will probably be back later this week. My only "complaints" would be 1) the parking lot (it's small, but there's a Kroger lot adjacent to it with plenty of parking) and 2) that there wasn't more meat sauce (or whatever that juice was) on the meatloaf so that I could drench every single bite in it. But, this probably allowed me to save a few calories! read more

When you're looking to sit down and have good Southern/Soul that isn't all fancy but taste just like your family grew up with. Go to Southern Hands! I typically go between the fried catfish or chicken BUT thier pork chops are great, and come with a 3rd side. You can get them grilled or fried.. read more

EVERY MEAL eaten here is wonderful! I close my eyes and I am at my Great grandmothers table. Meatloaf, Smothered pork chops, Fried Chicken ALL the vegetables and cornbread! read more

Initially my mom called me complaining that her food wasn't fresh and tasted like Sunday's leftovers . When I made it home I was in total shocked that the meat loaf I ordered looked like sloppy Joe. Food is too high to be handing out crap like this to customers. I'm a big fan of the Hickory Hill location but just so happened to be close to the Kirby Pwky location on yesterday . Spent $51 on 3 plates talking about disappointment. read more

What a pleasant surprise! At dinner time on a Monday afternoon, ordered a meal with meatloaf, candied yams, and green beans. Also ordered their Shania wings. That meatloaf was so, so good! I'd buy a pan of it it just to have some on hand in the freezer. Perfect seasoning, great texture, fantastic flavor. Yams and beans were tasty, too. The cornbread is always a hit. Wings were good. If you like them crispy, ask for them to be fried longer. Mine got soggy by the time I had them a couple hours later, but they were still very delicious. read more

I enjoyed this restaurant when I lived in Memphis. I was looking forward to eating there when I went to visit. Sadly, I waited an hour for a fish dinner that I ordered and paid for online. The food was good but the wait was terrible. I was told this location is known for having people wait. I believe it because it was seven of us waiting, clapping our hand as if we won a game show when they called our names. read more

First time trying this location. Ordered fried chicken, Mac & cheese with yams & boiled okra. Chicken didn't have seasoning on it as normal & I was also very disappointed with the mac & cheese, IT WAS EXTREMELY DRY! Not sure if it's the cook at this location but I have never had problems. read more

We were in need of some comfort food and we checked y'all out on Yelp. The menu looked good, so we gave it a try. The staff at pick up was very friendly. The food was really good! Each one of us tried something different. My son ordered the pork chops (grilled), corn and Mac and cheese. He loved it! He especially liked the m&c! My husband ordered fried chicken w/mashed potatoes and corn. The portion was large, so he's saving part of it for lunch tomorrow. I ordered the chicken & stuffing with the candied yams and green beans. The yams did not disappoint (I read other reviews raving about them) and I liked that the green beans were only the green beans (no bacon). The cornbread was delish... I saved mine for dessert! We will be back. read more
