Ordered the broil and the taste was amazing! Also tasted the crab cake and hush puppies and Mac & cheese. Everything was great! Would recommend! The place smelled great since they had a candle on and the bathrooms were really clean! 10/10

Southern Kafe on 17 OMG.............. !!!!! The food was so delicious!!! Was visiting in a town nearby (about 20 mins drive) and had a taste for some Soul Food. When I tell you this joint hit the spot ———— I Ain’t Lying! lol Because I lived about 30 minutes drive away, I ordered two plates (was able to make 3 meals from them). I ordered oxtails over rice, collard greens, mac n cheese on one plate and baked chicken, creamed corn, and collard greens on the other. The plates also came with corn bread. For dessert, I ordered some peach cobbler! Going to try & make it a thing and take that 30 minutes drive one weekend out of the month to indulge in this treasure of a place. Well worth it!

I purchased takeout from this restaurant for the first time today. I had the dark meat baked chicken with cabbage and brunswick stew. I am very picky especially with the way things are seasoned. Everything was great. The chicken was so tender and juicy, sides were good and the plain cornbread was tasty. I also got the pulled pork with creamed corn and cabbage for my husband. His meal was great as well. Prices are good especially for the portion of food that you get. I can't wait to go back and try the oxtails and Seafood!

The food was delicious. We chose the daily buffet, which was plentiful in options and portions. I drove in from an hour away and was welcomed. A really great place for a meal a meeting.

What I really enjoyed about this place (aside from how good the food tasted) is how easy it was. You’ve got the food behind the glass; you pick a meat and two sides; cornbread is included. It’s a simple process with a delicious outcome, and you know as soon as you walk in that the restaurant is a local favorite and a place where a lot of love and attention are put every day. It was a truly local place and a great plate of food.
