About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for groups
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.

    I went here last weekend with my boyfriend for brunch. Very nice and modern restaurant with a large patio! There was a live DJ when we were there and he was great! He was playing reggae, rap and hip hop old and new! The food was pretty good and came out fast, we participated in the all you can eat brunch for $54. It is definitely worth it if you have a big appetite.

    Cute place with an exceptionally kind and helpful hostess.  I’ll be back, but I was a little disappointed that my meal was not as good as my first visit.

    Came on a Friday night with live music in the courtyard. Nice band. Had the boudin egg rolls appetizer which was very good. The southern fried chicken with collard greens was good as well. Chicken could have used a touch more seasoning, but it was delicious. There was a nice little spice, as needed, in the greens. The biscuit was delicious. Would definitely order this dish again. I’ve had different dishes with each visit to South and I recommend giving them a taste. You’ll enjoy the meal. Our server was friendly and attentive. Great service.
