Kinfolk Southern Kitchen

Not usually the one to leave nasty reviews or any reviews at all but this experience was worth talking about. I would give a warning to anyone going to this place expecting authentic southern food, the food is lackluster and flavorless..they shouldn’t even label this a halal bbq because there was absolutely nothing barbecued. The burnt ends I ordered were placed under a broiler not truly smoked; The crab cake is $48 for nothing but filler and the mac & cheese is absolutely atrocious, the cheese to noodle ratio was completely off , it was like we were eating a straight up cheese sauce. I would not recommend this place if 1. You're black and truly appreciate southern soul food or 2. If you’re someone who enjoys exploring new restaurants for fun..just don’t do it. Walking in the door, It’s a decent restaurant. The ambiance is decent but I was so disturbed by the food quality and the prices i couldn’t actually enjoy the feel of the place. I’d give Kinfolk a solid 3/10. We need better restaurant selections on the wharf anyway, half of them down aren’t good. It’s just overpriced slop.

I’m a regular here and I love the staff and food everyone is amazing and the food is amazing

loved that they created me own sangria, and the food is amazing

0/10 service and food. Undercooked, the manager did nothing because it was through “doordash” food being undercooked is not a doordash problem. Did not accommodate us or ask for further information. This meal was $90. Won’t be back anytime soon.

This place was so much better than I thought it was going to be, sometimes the places at the wharf are pretty but the good is not good. We ended up popping in during a celebration at the Wharf. We got lucky and It was amazing, we didn't have to wait that long for a table and the Food was AMAZING

A bit pricey, the same drink I got elsewhere was more at this place. The wings were good. The mac & cheese was okay but was charged more than what the menu price said

The burnt ends are amazing! The brisket was disappointing it had zero flavor. The ribs were just as disappointing. The fries were disgusting! The corn bread was cold and the service was TERRIBLE! The server never checked on us. I had to ask multiple other staff for assistance and it was empty so not sure what the issue was. For the price would not return and definitely would not recommend. Don’t waste your time or money here

The waiting can become boring, but the screens of sports pass the time and the food is great.

Honestly this place deserves more than a five star. Their food was amazing i got the beef ribs which were so tender and soft. I would 10/10 recommend this place.

Absolutely outstanding. We ordered the burnt ends, ribs, biscuits, and the burger—and every single item was on point.

The burnt ends were tender, smoky, and packed with flavor. The ribs were perfectly cooked, falling off the bone without being mushy. The biscuits were warm, buttery, and exactly what a Southern biscuit should be. And the burger? Juicy, well-seasoned, and easily one of the best I’ve had in a long time.

You can tell this place takes pride in their food—nothing felt rushed or average. Great flavors, great execution, and a true Southern-inspired experience. Definitely coming back and recommending to friends and family

The restaurant is in a great location, and the service was phenomenal. My cousin and I came before the Wale show at the Anthem. The food was so good- for appetizers we had the cheddar biscuits, the dry rub wings and deviled eggs which were amazing. My entree was the burger and fries and even that was good. The star of the show was passionfruit paradise tower we shared, that was amazing so we definitely plan to be back very soon.

Food was trash, the Brussels sprouts were good and the drink was decent, server was great, atmosphere LOUD. I give it a 2 out of 5. Not worth the money. Seems like a “classy” Applebees.

Extremely nice decor, we went for Thanksgiving ( they had a Thanksgiving themed option) it was actually pretty good ( minus the candied yams). My mashed potatoes needed to be warmed up. Service was decent given it was Thanksgiving and they were busy.
