    Excellent food and great service. A little worn down looking from the outside and a little noisy on the inside.

    Having a daughter with a nut allergy, it is difficult to find a restaurant to choose. We decided to try South City Kitchen and it was outstanding. We were seated on the second floor overlooking the kitchen. We were ensured everything was nut free but they still double checked the ingredients. Only things cooked in the fryer was to be avoided. Food was outstanding. The service outstanding. The corn bread and biscuits outstanding. The deserts, well, outstanding. The only regret was not coming here sooner on our trip. A very special thank you to everyone working that night.

    Overall great price for a good meal. There are stairs with no ADA options or elevator. My 79 year old Godmother was not comfortable or stable negotiating the stairs. I am ok going up a flight or two but the way my knees are set up, coming down stairs is a whole event😩. The noise level was way too loud. We could not hold a conversation without yelling across the table. I finally just put in my ear plugs. Other than that…we enjoyed our monthly dinner night out🥰💜
