Portions are definitely generous. Service was excellent. Food came out quickly, and was pretty tasty. More salt/seasoning on the pork chops would have helped a bit. The philly cheesesteak was good, but could have used more seasoning on the steak as well. We will be back to try other items off their huge menu.

There are three places around the same area off Monterey highway, all pretty good and all with the same old school vibe. I’m kinda old and this works for me.

Great first experience!! Fast service! Delicious food! Friendly staff goes above and beyond!! Liked the menudo but would’ve preferred without the hominy (started Keto). I requested more tripe than corn and our waitress went out of her way to give me an extra side of tripe by adding to my bowl! Pleasantly surprised! The Monterey omelette was also delicious (keto friendly)! I’d definitely come back to try something new!

Great breakfast. Service was a little rough, had to wait to be seated . Servers weren’t as attentive. Chalked it up to being really busy on a Sunday. Food was really good , for that will return.

Huge portions for reasonable prices. I could have fed a small family with my breakfast. Everything was good. Hash browns were excellent, omelette was huge, chicken fried steak was tender. Swedish pancakes were a little more rubbery than I expected but flavor was good. Regular pancakes were fluffy. Service was great, very attentive and frequent coffee refills offered. Worth the drive. 🙂

First I ordered orange juice, which I got with lots of ice. Who puts ice to the orange juice. The server took it back and took out the ice with a spoon instead of giving me a new one. I ordered eggs benedicts, the sauce wasn’t cooked properly there was no flavor on it the English muffin was soaked in water from the poached eggs, I ordered crispy hash browns and they were undercook. I let the server know about the issues not because I wanted something, my appetite was lost at that point, but for them to be aware. Her answered was that they can’t please everyone. Sorry but this is a place I will avoid in the future. They don’t care about guest satisfaction.

Ask for over medium eggs they came basted and runny. My friend was overcharged on his bill they adjusted it. However the waitress did give us a complimentary cup of tortilla soup which was nice the rest of food was excellent. Would definitely come again no place gets it right all the time. Just like people aren’t perfect we give them a second chance.

I understand prices have gone up everywhere but Southern Kitchen’s prices have gone way too high. Kind of a bummer, I used to enjoy dining here but I won’t support those prices.

We wanted to have breakfast at a restaurant we’ve never visited. So we chose Southern Kitchen and it was awesome neighborhood find!
