Southern Kitchen

Greens are bland. Chicken was way to salty. Drinks were good.

Finally got a chance to visit Southern Kitchen! The parking lot is pretty tiny and was full, but I was able to find parallel parking on the street outside the restaurant easily. I got the 6th Ave platter so I could try things out. I really liked the Cajun catfish fingers and I would probably skip the chicken and go straight for those or try the brisket next time. They definitely don't make things zesty/spicy, they leave that to you to put hot sauce on, which I am fine with. I loved the big quart jar of strawberry lemonade. I've never been served lemonade topped with whipped cream before and it was surprising when it arrived at the table but I tackled it with glee. It delicious. Drawbacks: the fried chicken, though not too greasy with tasty, crispy breading, was a bit dry and unseasoned tasting on the inside, the corncake arrived at the table too cold to melt butter, and they were out of fried green tomatoes. The space is a bit cramped and although it's all on one level, it might not be the best for a wheelchair user. The space does provide a cozy feeling, though. During my meal many regulars came in to pick up food and were greeted warmly by the servers who knew them by name. I definitely see why this beloved soul food restaurant is a Tacoma institution. I'm sure I will be back. So many more delicious-sounding things to try!
