Located in the heart of Downtown Pompano Beach, South Bar & Kitchen is a contemporary Southern American concept with a heavy Louisiana influence, infusing Cajun and Creole flavors in a tantalizing way. Bringing people together is at the heart of everything South has to offer, from the community patio with a centerpiece tree adorned with sparkling lights to the meat smoker that not only warms our food but introduces a nostalgic feeling.

    Wonderful experience first time there. The service is great. I meant the container outside. It was really good. The outside is so pretty and just comfortable and not too noisy. The food was good. I enjoyed just thought everything can’t complain about anything that drinks were really ample, and the prices were more than reasonable

    Ordered Spoonbread and when asked for description was told sweet and savory to find out it was just a corn pudding. Fried chicken was extremely salty. It was delicious as it was very moist but the salt just killed it. Service was fair. For a restaurant that had maybe 5 tables, could have been a little more attentive. Will be back as we really enjoy, just will not order the Fried Chicken.

    We went for brunch expecting the Louisiana southern experience. The food was meh and you can’t tout a southern experience and then blare 80s music. The music was way too loud for an “ambience” and it would have been nice if it was blues or jazz. You know. Louisiana style. They were incredibly busy, which is usually a good sign but they only had one server so it was ridiculously so service. The server was hustling, but couldn’t keep up. We had made reservations, but they were still taking walk-ins which, in my opinion they shouldn’t have done if the staff can’t keep up. It was very disappointing.

    Really good southern food menu and lots of great cocktails. Our server was very attentive and the manager came by twice to chat with us.

    Most of the food was good. We had the Ultimate Brunch which allowed us to choose a variety of things from the menu. Some we liked, some we did not. The only negative is that the hot food came out lukewarm, probably because it is being prepared en masse and waiting for people to order. They should work on timing for that. Overall, a pleasant enough experience.

    Delicious and well-priced food & drinks. Very friendly, welcoming staff. Our server was most pleasant but slow to take order (perhaps because he was still learning the hand-held order system) and not terribly attentive but overall still a very good experience!

    Was a little disappointed that they advertised, via social media, Mark Zaden would be performing, the reason I chose to go, and they had someone else playing. When asked why I was told he’s at their sister restaurant, YOT. Not cool. Atmosphere was an A+, food a B but good

    Thank you for the review, Paul! We are sorry about the mixup with Mark. We hope to see you soon.
