Hankering Southern Kitchen offers a warm and inviting atmosphere in a beautiful historic building with charming decor. This hidden gem provides a taste of down south, with must-try dishes including the pulled pork with outstanding BBQ sauce, jalapeño cornbread muffins, chicken corn chowder, and ribs that are fall-off-the-bone tender. The restaurant features three housemade sides with each meal and is known for its wonderful hospitality, making customers feel like family. Portions are generous, and the staff, including Chef Scott, creates a cozy environment that keeps customers coming back. Visitors often comment on the delicious smell of good food as soon as they walk in, and many describe the place as a home away from home, with a warm, unpretentious vibe and attentive service. The food consistently impresses, with standout dishes like catfish and smoked chicken, complemented by a great selection of sides. Although some find the atmosphere simple and the prices a bit high, the quality and friendly service make it a worthwhile experience.
