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 outside seating area is chilled and has great atmosphere. Service was fantastic. The unlimited brunch was great. Being able to just order anything and everything to share made for a great brunch

    On Sundays, there’s a brunch experience $49.99 unlimited food and $25 I believe, bottomless mimosas .. SERVICE was horrible. It just was too chaotic. It took 25 minutes just to get a mimosa.. our waitress insisted on biscuits and watermelon as our starters when we insisted we were ready to order and did not want that. When we mentioned our bottomless mimosas she insisted on bringing us waters. It took 30 min to receive our second drink and a total of 50 minutes for us to receive our “starters”. The blue crab beignets were DELICIOUS but unfortunately I had to nip it out the bud and ask for the manager and leave completely. It is just too much spent for subpar food And small tapas (yes, I know what tapas mean).

    Service was slow! Our server acted as if we weren’t there! Had to ask multiple times for missing food. Highly disappointed. Would not recommend and would not return!

    Unfortunately, our visit to South was not great. We arrived twenty minutes early, for an early reservation at 4:45, because we had a show to go to. It took twenty minutes to get any beverages. The soft drinks were flat. It seemed we’d arrived during a server shift change. My short rib and grits were fine, but my son’s pasta dish was small, and my wife’s shrimp po boy had unseasoned shrimp, old veggies, and a really stale loaf of bread. Mostly inedible. Her Cajun French fries were decent. Service was slow throughout, from a bored and perfunctory server. The meal took over 1.5 hours, despite there being only three tables seated inside. There was no manager visible the entire visit. One and done.

    We go to south all the time! The patio is so lovely and the weather made for a gorgeous evening. There are also some yummy new items on the menu that were totally delish!

    Amazing atmosphere, delicious food, great service. The music was so loud I could not hear the person across the table. The Live DJ was amazing just extremely loud.

    Unfortunately very disappointing. We were there in total for 3 hours and only got 4 rounds of drinks in that time (unlimited was $25 but we couldn’t get refills) and barely any food. From the time of 1:15 to 2:15 we didn’t get any food at all, but had ordered several items and we only got 1 round of drinks in that hour timeframe, because we asked a manager that passed by. Our server was so busy we couldn’t even get her attention. People were complaining….total waste of money $90 with food and unlimited drinks with tip. Was so excited to try this place. Such a bummer.
