Very bad experience! With reservations it took 30 minutes for us to be seated. Upon looking at the menu we saw NOTHING that appealed to us. Chicken livers and waffles, house made bacon sausage, burnt cornbread. No thanks. We explained to the hostess that we were leaving. Previously some in our party had fried chicken and that’s what we went for. The hostess, who happens to be the chef’s wife was extremely rude. We left and later discovered a $100 no show charge to our credit card. When we called, the rude hostess/wife refused to credit the charge even though we showed up, waited 30 minutes to be seated and didn’t like the menu options. This is not good business. Brother, you need to check your wife!!!

I walked in with high hopes and with my group of friends. I walked out thinking the food was pretty good and the service was not great. Our server was gruff, condescending, and very inflexible when it came to splitting checks. The food was tasty and not as special as I was expecting. I'm not sure if I'll be going back.

We reserved a table for our 12th wedding anniversary and we were absolutely blown away by the food and service here. We arrived 30 minutes before our reservation and the hostess was able to seat us immediately even though the house was packed. My personal favorite from the night was the dirty rice with confit duck legs. Wow!
My only complaint for the night was the dining room was very loud but that's unavoidable considering how busy the place was. We will definitely be coming back for our special occasions.

We had an incredible dining experience at Burdell, a unique spot that offers elevated, technically soul food, though it felt more like a masterclass in flavor than your traditional fare. From the moment we sat down and sampled the boiled peanuts, we knew we were in for something special. The melon salad was a standout—each bite bursting with layers of flavors that created a symphony of goodness in your mouth. For our mains, we savored the duck and sausage, both of which were cooked to perfection, accompanied by flavorful greens and delicious cornbread. The dessert, a peach cobbler, had a great flavor but the crust was just a tad overdone—still a sweet ending to an otherwise flawless meal. Burdell has easily earned its spot in our dining rotation, and we can’t wait to come back!

Good food good service and atmosphere. The tomato and fried oysters were excellent. We were lucky to get an order of fried chicken which is off menu. Very crispy and juicy. Overall wonderful experience.

What a special place filled with heart and soul. The service was absolutely wonderful. Warm, kind, inviting. Perfect pacing which allowed my friend and I to chat and enjoy each other’s company. All our dishes were amazing. The heirloom and fried oyster salad was definitely a stand out and the duck & dirty rice I could eat every day. Absolutely CANNOT wait to return. Thank you so much Burdell for creating this space and experience ?

I did not enjoy this meal at all. Only ate what I ordered because it was so expensive. However the I expected soul food to taste like soul food, which it did not. Then the menu had very few selections of food which all 4entrees that was available to choose from were not that desirable. The workers were very pleasant and the atmosphere was nice . But the food no maam. And the amount of time it took to get my food was unacceptable. Then when I got it, it wasn’t hot. Just warm. Not impressed and will not be com My back or referring any of my friends to come here.
Wild that I can customize my meal more at Taco Bell than this restaurant and have the privilege to pay 10x the cost. Completely unequal substitutions for allergies (actually insane for a Black owned place to have a 100% dairy based dessert as the only option with a bowl of fruit from Safeway as the alt). My mom and I have grown up with soul food from Michigan to Alabama so it's incredibly strange to experience my own culture "elevating" itself so far from its own roots. Very cute and service was avg but SUPER overhyped for the cost, Black/southern people save your coins if you're expecting any comforting familiarity of traditional soul food.

Unique food, drinks were overpriced, service was horrible. The only smile I received, outside of the hostess, was when the waiter/bartender brought my appetizer 3/4 of the way through my entree and then tried to encourage me Taking it home for lunch. I will try again, maybe it was an off night (I hope).

Burdell, Burdell, Burdell. I've almost gone a few times before canceling last min because the menu just didn't seem that appealing to me. I finally gave in and went to see what all the hype was about, and the hype was real. We started with the boiled peanuts, they are a lil messy and I didn't think we would eat them all but before you know it, they were all gone. The shishito peppers were so fresh that it was like they were growing in the kitchen. The duck with jam and dirty rice was spectacular! The atmosphere is comfortable, familiar, and nostalgic. The playlist was brilliant. It consists of old school R&B records your parents played on weekend mornings. Every song was the original song that was sampled by your favorite artist. Overall, it was a great time!

I was very excited to dine here, I wanted so bad to love it! But the food just fell short! The only things I would actually recommend are the cornbread and green beans.
Absolutely incredible
