“I’m a vegetarian, so I can’t speak about the Q (the men in my house cried when the last wing was grabbed), but this banana pudding is so off the hook I want to cry!! So rich and creamy! I’ve eaten 1/2 of the very generous serving and I’m stuffed. I’m gunna power through it though, because I know if I save it, one of these boys will eat it!“

“I can't remember the last time I had fried chicken that was this good. They make it to order so it takes a little longer. But it comes out hot and crunchy. The chicken itself is juicy, they must brine it or something. I also think their story is pretty great.“

Southern Comfort Kitchen - Alameda Cajun/Creole • $
1708 Webster St, Alameda - 8.24 miles

“Sorely needed restaurant in Alameda. There’s good southern/soul food in Oakland but either parking/transit options are compromised or longish delivery times leave food soggy. This place has very fresh ingredients and great (read: actual) seasoning. Probably the best restaurant Mac & cheese outside of Homeroom. Hope they become a fixture in the Alameda restaurant scene.“
