Bankhead Mississippi Style Cooking

Ok, Soooooooo my auntie loves this restaurant. It's not my jam to be completely honest here . I always like to support a black owned business. Plates are around $20.00 from bbq chicken to pigs feet. Now this I no dollar menu pricing. Then you would expect to get better service than someone working where they have a dollar menu. I'm sad to say ..... most visits this is not the case. I truly don't understand why the attitudes? Just whyyyyyyyy???? It is super clear from the body language, eye rolling, and sarcastic responses a FEW do not like their job. Look-e-here a friendly and kind demeanor goes a looooooong way when you are easily forking over 50.00 for two people. I have had several "service" incidents in the past few months since my aunt has been coming here. One day a gentleman asked to confirm no pork in his greens. The young lady stated "If that's what it says on your order then that's what we do". Another occasion they happen to be closing earlier than normal for that particular day. Doors were locked prior to the scheduled closing time. Food is still visible but they tell say it's 1min past the hour. They say "It's past the hour right ? Well we are closed ! ...turns around and ignores the door. I guess they were in a hurry to go home. That's not the way to treat a regular customer.I will leave this here ..... We must treat members of our community and YOUR PATRONS with kindness. Simply the way they would like to be treated when patronizing a place of business. We have to deal with this type of treatment at other establishments. Why not have your business be a place of refuge. Where we know we will be cared for. I hate to say it but WE THE COMMUNITY are keeping you young ladies employed. So unfriendly service = less customers =no paycheck. Come on ladies we have to do better.

Customer service is awful. I was inside the restaurant and they got a call, the gurl rolled her eyes and instead of answering she hung up. Yall need to hire better employees!!ZERO Stars if I could!

Today I had some catfish, cornbread dressing and candied yams the food is so good , if I was any happier I would be a set of twins right now . If you want that down home taste in the City of San Diego, Bankhead is the place to be. I'm just saying !

Love the selection of sides. I tried the catfish and it was super buttery. The Mac was delicious. Take your plate and take a seat and enjoy the home made food !

When I step into this business, I really feel like I'm going into a mom's and pops soul food spot in the South. My family and I enjoy the food here. Tip: it's always a good idea to call in your order so you won't have to wait on the busier days.

One of the Best soul food restaurants in San Diego if not the Best!!!The food is amazing and the service is outstanding, you can't beat the quality and prices

The food is so good, recommend the catfish, collard greens with pork and that cherry pineapple soooo good. I appreciate the service here always sweet and respectful.

Went down to Bankhead, Mississippi Soul Food restaurant today traveled from Temecula. Was there when they first opened. The food was outstanding portions were large. The Ribs pork and beef were very tender and tasty seasoned very well. Sides of greens Black Eyed Peas, macaroni-cheese cornbread were all on point. The service was outstanding. Incredible dining experience I highly recommend five stars.

Very friendly service and amazing food. We loved the music & paintings around the restaurant. Thank you!!!

Bankhead is my go to for southern food. I haven't found anything on their menu that isn't delicious. The portions are massive and the price is just right. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.
