Reviews For South Bar & Kitchen

South Bar & Kitchen made my birthday a memorable, fun experience! The food was absolutely delicious. We had crab nuggets, pimento cheese, the yummy biscuits, and deviled eggs. Everything was served quickly. The waitress was super sweet and knowledgeable, and recommended the perfect dishes and drinks for my holiday-birthday celebration. I had the burrata and added grilled chicken and it was great! I would recommend adding the sauce meant for the biscuits onto the burrata for a nice extra layer of flavor. We had a great time, the restaurant was decorated beautifully, and the manager made sure to make our experience super fun and one to remember!

We went as a party of two. Parking is free. Made a reservation the night before over the phone because the website said there weren't any spots available for the morning. We arrived at 11:30am, at that time its only the 52 brunch option. You get small portions of any brunch selections for a 2hr time period. I didn't try everything, but the sweet potatoe waffle and the crab beignet were my favorites. Steak & eggs and hash browns were my least favorites. There wasn't any salt and pepper or condiments on the table. We went on a Sunday morning, and the DJ was setting up as we were leaving. So come after 1pm on Sundays for a lively crowd.

South Bar is located in Downtown Pompano Beach, this restaurant offers delicious cajun and creole Louisiana style flavors, which makes this establishment so rare and unique. The ambiance, lavish green velvety bench seating adds the perfect touch to this upscale eatery. Outside seating is also available under cool shaded patio or a huge tree with sparkling lights. There is live music but we went on a rainy South Florida day, so no band was present at the time. Breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner is offered all day. Happy hour on weekdays, as well. Prices are very reasonable. We ordered deviled eggs, biscuits, fried fish and grits, monk fish, salmon dish red peas and rice with lots of wine. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back to enjoy the live music.

I enjoyed the ultimate brunch with a party of 4. We had to sit inside because of the rainy weather. However, the inside atmosphere was nice. They had a live DJ. The music was a little too loud for my liking to be inside. I could barely hear the person speak sitting next to me. Our waitress was very attentive and gave us some awesome recommendations as first-timers. We tried a variety of dishes and were pleased with the majority of them. My advice is when planning to visit to make reservations and try the mix and match bottomless. The drinks really creep up on you, so drink responsibly.

South Bar & Kitchen stands out as a vibrant addition to Pompano Beach's dining scene. Its fusion of Southern flavors, inviting ambiance, and live entertainment make it a compelling choice for both locals and visitors. Whether you're seeking a casual brunch, a lively dinner, or a night out with friends, South Bar & Kitchen offers a memorable experience. I am vegan, and they made some substitution to accommodate a dish for me. Thank you,

Definitely a 10 out of 10! Wonderful customer service from the moment that I walked in the door! The hostess was super sweet and accommodating. My waiter Pierre was the absolute best! You can tell that he loves his job. He helped me navigate the menu and did everything with a smile and the most pleasant demeanor. I asked another waiter for plasticware and he was very eager to help even though I was not in his section. I passed by the manager in the ladies room and she also was friendly and seemed genuinely happy to be in the restaurant. Now to the food! Each and every dish was phenomenal. The flavors! The presentation! You must come here hungry so you can try everything on the Ultimate Brunch menu. This restaurant is a huge win for this area. This was an amazing culinary treat.
