New takes on Southern fare & deep whiskey list served in hip digs, with live jazz in adjacent room.
I had an amazing experience at South Restaurant in Philadelphia! From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations. The ambiance was everything!!!!! The cornbread was absolutely unforgettable; warm, buttery, and packed with flavor. The chicken was seasoned down to the bone, so much so that at one point I felt like I was back home in Jamaica enjoying a home cooked meal. On top of the incredible food, the service was top-notch. My server, Markeith, was a true gem; attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect. South Restaurant is definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious food and great vibes in Philly!
We had another phenomenal experience at South Jazz Kitchen Club! I ordered the buttermilk fried chicken with sweet potatoes and smoked collard greens, while my wife had the smoked jerk turkey wings with creole rice & beans and collard greens. We also shared the mac & cheese and cornbread—everything was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. The service was exceptional. We arrived late without a reservation after another restaurant plan fell through, and they still found a way to seat us outside on a beautiful night. The atmosphere was superb—great food, great service, and a warm, welcoming vibe that made for a perfect date night. Every visit here has been consistently excellent, and this one was no exception. South Jazz Kitchen Club always delivers, and I’ll continue to recommend it to anyone looking for amazing food and a great experience in Philly!
This place is amazing! The service from the greeter, bartender, and management were stellar. We had a curated, private dinner here. Everything was delicious from the drinks, appetizers, main entrées, and dessert. The ambiance is EVERYTHING! Highly recommend. This was the best food and service I received the entire week in Philadelphia. The mushrooms stuffed with greens and vegetarian jambalaya were my favorites. If you're ever in Philly, you gotta check this gem out!
We were there for dinner and the jazz concert. Both were outstanding! The venue for music was really good. The acoustics were great and although our table was about as far from the stage as possible we could see and hear everything quite well. The food was great! We started with the skillet cornbread. 😋 Sweet, buttery, hot. Yum! Between us we ordered the jambalaya, 2 duck breasts, and the turkey wings. Everyone cleared their plates.🦃🦆🍗😋 Our server was very attentive, helpful, and friendly. Overall, it was an great experience and we will DEFINITELY return for dinner and a show!
I went out to celebrate birthdays in my family and I couldn’t have picked a better place. The atmosphere, staff, and most importantly the food were immaculate! If you want to have some of the best fried chicken and cocktails in Central Philly this is the place to go. I will make this spot a habit!
