“Southern Gourmet Kitchen in Dallas, Texas, was the perfect spot to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. A time was most definitely had. Huge thanks to Aunt Janice and Uncle Marvin for the invite and showing us a marvelous time. From the moment you step in, the hospitality is exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond. The food, bursting with Southern flavors, is a standout—everything on the menu hits. Shoutout to Chief G, she the truth. The entire team, from the Owner Mrs Sparkel ,the hosts, bartenders to the busboys, they truly understand the assignment. DJ Chas adds a vibrant touch to the atmosphere, creating a memorable, grown folks vibe. (Love her ) moral of the story you can tell the owners have poured their heart into this place, making it not just a restaurant, but a celebration of Black excellence. Highly recommend this spot for great food, culture, and community! You’ll thank me later. Tell somebody that know somebody !🫶🏽💖💕🎊🍾🥂#blackownedbusiness“

“AUTHENTIC SOUTHERN SOUL AND WORLD-CLASS SERVICE.

​This place is the real deal. We arrived on a crazy busy night (school spirit night), but the owners' wife and staff managed the floor like absolute pros—attentive, friendly, and always checking on us. Maybe the best service environment I’ve ever experienced.
​The food is just as good:
​Appetizers (Crawfish Dip/Meat Pie): Absolutely inhaled them. The crawfish dip is rich and soupy (in the best way) with buttered toast for dipping. Set the tone immediately.
​The Gumbo: Deeply flavorful, smoky broth with perfectly non-slimy okra.
​Chicken Fried Chicken: Flaky, tender, sweet and peppery crust. Whipped potatoes and creamy comfort gravy. Pure, honest soul food.
​The Cornbread: Dense and sweet—a must-order.
​To top it off, the owner brought us free samples of their cornbread waffles (crispy outside, gooey inside!). This isn't just a meal; it's a generous, authentic experience run by people who genuinely care. Skip the chains and come here. Perfection.“
