About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Charming
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.

    The Ultimate Weekend Brunch was well worth the value! The ambiance was awesome. Im looking forward to going back during the cooler months to enjoy the outside seating!

    First time for a celebration. The menu is quite unique. We all took dishes home! This is definitely a good thing - portion size is well worth the price. The only negative was the grilled pork chop not seasoned adequately. We had the crab dip, jalapeño mac and cheese and chicken wings as appetizers. Awesome ! The southern grits with shrimp was perfect nicely seasoned , shrimp large but cooked to perfection . The mahi sandwich good, the swordfish entree nicely done, the new york strip cooked perfectly to request,

    What a great experience ! Our waitress Jasmine was attentive and very helpful with the menu choices. The food could use a little more heat but the vibe, drink and customer service made up For it! I would definitely recommend.

    South is a Vibe with the right amount of Sexiness and Allure. The only drawback is... the music is too loud. I want to be able to have a conversation with my guests and not have to compete with an amazing track of songs.

    Took a minute to get the hang of the unlimited brunch situation but it was quite the experience and everything was DELICIOUS. We’ll definitely be back.

    Overall the experience wasn’t so bad. Food was salty no matter what dish you had yet still missing seasoning. Fried chicken and pork chop was fairly good again skin/fat was salty. I read that the devil eggs had a sour taste and the reviewer wasn’t lying. The food took forever. The entertainment was a live singer/bad which made my night.

    Upon arriving we were impressed with the decor and ambience of the restaurant. A spacious inside and a really nice large, outside patio. There was live entertainment on the patio which was piped into the interior. Service was prompt, friendly and attentive. The drink menu was very interesting and the drinks we ordered were very good. The food was good. My husband had the spicy chicken sandwich which was tasty but messy. I had the half fried chicken which was good but a little salty for my taste (I'm not a big salt user though.) Our son had the Craw Daddy entree which was my favorite of the three. The prices were on par with a lot of the restaurants in the South Forida area. We'd go back.
