South Bar & Kitchen

The ambiance here was really nice — I loved the dark green tones throughout the space. Customer service was great, and everyone who helped us was very attentive. Our waiter, Vlad, took especially good care of us. Since this is a New Orleans–style restaurant, I was expecting bold flavors. As appetizers we ordered the gumbo and blue crab beignets, which had a great crispy crust but were a little too mushy inside for my taste. We also shared the whole fried chicken with macaroni and collard greens — it was okay overall. The biscuits on the other hand were amazing.

South recently hosted our daughters baby shower for approximately 50 people. It was outdoors on the terrace and was simply an amazing afternoon. The food was excellent (as good as you'd get if you were seated indoors) and the service was impeccable. We could not be more pleased with Rachel and her staff, and would gladly do it all again.

Stopped in for a late dinner while travelling right off I 95 and got a nice booth no waiting. They had a large out door seating area but we sat inside at a big booth. Adam our server was terrific. Party of four , we split the fried chicken & the biscuits and sides were fantastic. Best sweet tea I had in Florida Next time I'm in the area I'm going back to try the other southern menu items because the food was truly southern great

Visited on today 10/4/25 and had a wonderful experience at the unlimited brunch. Jasmine was my waitress at my table and worked and the bar at the same time and she was awesome. Jasmine made sure I had everything I needed and was at my table anytime she seen my water getting low or when I needed more food.. Excellent service by Jasmine. The food was great and some items came out literally 30 seconds after she put the order in no lie... The bacon jam sliders and blue crab beignets were the best.. Definitely will be my new Saturday brunch spot.

Initial Review (5 stars - 02/28/2026) - Dining at South Bar & Kitchen was an outstanding experience! My employer hosted a dinner for our professional development event at this restaurant. We dined on the patio. We were treated to live music -- a saxophone player -- as well as heaters for the slightly cool evening. I enjoyed especially being near an old ancestor -- a giant old tree -- at the center of the patio space. The tree is BEAUTIFUL! In addition to the ambience, the waitstaff was amazing! Marina was an excellent server -- kind, attentive, smiling. The food was fantastic. I ordered the New Orleans pasta, and it was delicious. The menu indicated that it was spicy. I thought that meant hot, but it actually meant flavorful (e.g., full of spices). I treated my teammates to adu
