Yebo Kitchen

Southern charm with a splash of razzle-dazzle is exactly what you'll get at Yebo Kitchen. We arrived 15 minutes before opening for Sunday brunch, and we were promptly greeted and inviting inside at 11am. Gotta love that. They do NOT take reservations so I suggest you arrive early with your entire party for Sunday brunch, or wait an hour outside (very little space to wait inside). It'll be worth the wait but I'm just sayin'!Our waiter, Ty, was great. He checked in often, kept our water filled, and quickly got our orders in and served up hot. Our food was amazing. I ordered the strawberry biscuits, but Ty misheard and ordered the flight of biscuits. It was only a few dollars more and honestly, I should've ordered that instead of the single biscuits. It was dessert! Three warm, fluffy, sweet biscuits topped with apple, banana, and strawberry, respectfully. I'd return for those alone.For entrees, we ordered jerk wings, shrimp avocado toast, and shrimp and grits. OMG every bite hit the spot. No notes. Kudos to the "Chopped" winning chef.Very excited to support (and continue to support by bringing my husband me more friends) this black-owned establishment! Keep it up!

The food was tasty. The potatoes were my favorite. The short rib hash was good, but the "rib" was really just shaved meat on top of more potatoes and hidden under some sauce. The cocktails we had were also a letdown but I saw other tables ordering different dishes and they looked good, so I would go back and try those. Parking can be an issue. I strongly suggest Uber/Lyft.

We loved everything we had and cleared all the plates. A beautiful space with great service.Zulu Brussel Sprouts--so flavorful!Crab Egg Rolls--yes yes yes yes yes. Get themJerk Lamb Lollipops--the sauce is so delicious. I would get the entree next time so that I have more meatFried Salmon and Grits--loved the grits and sauce on topWe loved the ambiance so much that we sat at the table for longer than we meant to after the meal was over. No one said a thing to us which was very polite and appreciated!

The place is very cozy and cute inside. I very much love the decor because it's very welcoming. While it's not a big and wide establishment, it's long and there's outdoor covered seating and indoor in the back past the bar and the kitchen. We were one of two parties to go inside as we got there when it opened. Chef Sammy was there and we said hello to all the staff as we walked to our table. The menu QR code is taped to the middle of the table and that makes things easy as well as cuts down on clutter on the table like regular menus add. Our server was Ty and they were very nice and helpful. They made sure to let us know the fried rice has dungeness crab legs on top as I'm sure that has caught a few people by surprise.We ordered the deep fried biscuit flight that contains: salted caramel apple, strawberries and cream, and banana pudding. My favorite was the salted caramel apple because it wasn't overly sweet. The biscuits were light and not dense, so that was very nice. I loved that the frosting on top wasn't so sweet, I imagine it's been cut with marscapone or cream cheese. For entrees, we ordered the strawberry cream french toast and the crab and shrimp fried rice with a side of chicken sausage. The mains were very tasty and the rice was perfectly cooked, then fried. The crab was delicious and the French toast was fluffy and not overly saturated or sweet as it came with the same cream as the biscuit. The chicken sausage was overcooked and dry while also being too sweet, so we didn't finish it. I appreciate that it was homemade. For drinks, I got the brown sugar peach margarita and my date got the maple old fashioned. He said he couldn't taste the maple, but I could. I didn't really get much flavor from the margarita in terms of brown sugar, but it was good and not overly sweet. We enjoyed brunch and will come back another time to try other things and maybe try dinner. As we started to wrap up, more people came and so I believe we got there at the right time when it opened so it wasn't so crowded.

Yebo Kitchen is great restaurant to try rather for a date night. Link up with the girls or just to get together with friends. There is street parking so do be prepared to look for parking. The ambiance and decor is really cute. However, The space of the restaurant is small but they make it work where is does not feel congested The service was okay and a tad bit slow. There is room for improvement but once our server was introduced to us he was on point and took care of us for the remainder of the evening. But the food made up for it. The food was amazingly good. Great for the portion size and very fulfilling . The brussel sprouts will make you slap your mama though, they were so good. So please do try those when you visit. So I will say this restaurant is chef kiss so do try them out

I was treated to this black owned restaurant by a ggf for a birthday treat. We tried to come to this restaurant once before but, it was so crowded and the wait times were too long. So here we are able to officially check out this restaurant with bar seating. This was during the month of July so it was extremely hot in the restaurant and the air conditioner was broken. We were served at the bar by Lakeisha and I would not forget that because everyone has a Lakeisha in their family. The omelette was so good with the creamy sauce on top. The white sangria was made perfectly. Who doesn't love a side of bacon . Cheers to a great birthday treat. This restaurant is small but cozy however, street parking along with outdoor patio is available with a live DJ. Check them out and I will definitely return.

First time trying Yebo Kitchen and it was an overall great experience!! Went for brunch on a Sunday morning right when they opened at 11am. It was busy so we had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. They had cute chairs and a couch for us to sit at while waiting. The servers were so friendly and helpful with recommendations given it was everyone's first time. We sat on the back patio which was perfectly heated. Food- My group tried the shrimp and grits, jerk chicken and waffle, bananas foster waffles and hot cakes. Everyone was very happy with their food. For drinks - We split two pre-mixed pitchers of mimosas which were good, though i prefer to get the champagne and the OJ separate so each person can mix it to their preferred ratio. I ordered the Mango Lemonade Crush (no alcohol) and it was wayyy too sweet for me so unfortunately I didn't end up drinking it.

We came from out of town for Valentine's night and were about 20 minutes late for our reservation, and though they were at capacity, they held our seat and sat us immediately. There was a special 5 course dinner menu and everything was delicious. The ambience was very nice, service was on point, and the food was delicious. We'll be back

Delicious food, drinks and atmosphere I have recommended this place to all friends and family. I celebrated my birthday here and the service was excellent, can't wait to go back.
