Southern Comfort Kitchen

5 star review because of the amazing customer service! Guy at the counter was so nice and helpful! Food was great, just as it is on the truck and at the Castro Valley location! Finally made it in on a Sunday to get beignets and yum!!The crawfish étouffée is always a hit! The gumbo was different than what we are use to...but still good.Location is easy to locate.Good amount of seating.Small parking lot behind building.Love that they close later even on a Sunday.

Nice local spot in Alameda. Shares outdoor patio with Subway. There is parking, very limited spaces. Ordered Catfish Po boy with cajun fries. Looked and tasted amazing! Sauce was the main savory topping on my catfish! Sandwich was moist and a great balance of flavor. Sauce is flavorfully scrumptious. Great amount of food for a meal.Catfish 9/10Fries 9/10Sauce 10/10Sandwich 10/10There were 3 gentlemen working at the time I ordered. A cashier, assisted person helping and a cook. Cashier can work on his customer service but that doesn't matter cause it's the food taste and cleanliness that matters to me.

The food was outstanding! The southern fried chicken sandwich and Cajun fries, yum! Really enjoyed the hush puppies and fried catfish. Will definitely return for that sandwich Service was good.The space is ok:-)

I love southern cooking. Don't know if this case it's the location or the style. Jambalaya and a shrimp po boy. The po boy was very good and had a nice kick to it. Shrimp was really on the salty side. The bread was little off but it's passable. Jambalaya looked promising and it's good but I do feel like salt upstages everything. The chicken and the sausage were there, not much sausage. The peppers and celery were there. Service was straightforward as I was only picking up the food. A little too strong with the salt. They do have many many options from chicken sandwiches to waffles.

I love Southern food, and I definitely enjoyed my experience at Southern Comfort Kitchen! The restaurant has a mid-size space with a few seating on a first-come-first-served basis. Their brown sugar lemonade was absolutely delicious--I was obsessed with it. It may not look like much in the picture I attached, but trust me, it's really good.My friend and I wanted to try everything on their menu, but since it was just the two of us, we settled on three dishes: Fried Catfish with Cajun Fries, Seafood Gumbo, and the Southern Fried Chicken Sandwich. The fried catfish was good, although I felt there was more breadcrumb than fish. However, the Cajun fries were fried perfectly and tasted amazing. Although I'm not usually a big fan of gumbo, I actually enjoyed theirs--it was flavorful and satisfying.The highlight for me was definitely the Fried Chicken Sandwich. The chicken was packed with flavor, incredibly juicy, and each bite left me wanting more. I'll definitely be coming back to try other items on their menu--and to sip on that brown sugar lemonade again!

Customer service was amazing ! The flavor was on point ! We got the seafood gumbo and shrimp and grits . Flavor wise 5/5 I would have preferred if the food was a bit more warm/hot . It was kind of cold ,the bread could have been a bit more warm as well. The bread pudding was so good I forgot to take a before picture haha . I def will be back again soon ! I love the drive through option too

Late Night Seafood Fix: A Mixed BagThis newly opened spot caught my attention with its late-night hours and promising reviews. The convenient parking lot in the back is definitely a plus for quick pickup orders.Food Hits & Misses:The star of the show was definitely the Cajun crab fries. Picture perfectly crispy fries topped with sweet, succulent crab meat and a flavor-packed seasoning that'll keep you coming back for more.The Oyster Po' Boy, however, was a different story. While the fried oysters themselves were nicely done, the bread was lackluster, making the overall sandwich just mediocre. It's not something I'd order again.Service & Atmosphere:The service was quick, and the order was hot and ready when I arrived after ordering through their Toast app. The place has a fast-food joint vibe - nothing fancy, but it serves its purpose for late-night cravings.Verdict:While I appreciate having a late-night seafood option in the area, not everything hits the mark. I'd return for those addictive crab fries and might give their fish a try next time. But if you're craving a po' boy, you might want to look elsewhere.3/5 stars - Worth a visit for the crab fries alone, but manage your expectations for the rest of the menu.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Me and my girl came here on a non-busy afternoon. Place seemed rather dark, not here for that. Here for the food! Employees were friendly! That's a great start.Food review:1. Side Mac and cheese - shells were al dente, seasonings and the cheese sauce consistency were up there. Overall a good side item! 2. Quarter Muffaletta - my girl loved this one and the Crab Cajun Fries! The olive tapenade was nice and chunky. Salami and BF Ham was a good ratio with the cheese, Foccacia bread is nice and fluffy. 3. Crab Cajun Fries - the seasoning was pretty spot on on the fries, but as we kept eating the fries, it got saltier. The sauce we thought was a blend of cheese and mayo, wasn't cheese at all. Oh wells, the flavors were there. Crab ratio with the fries, it was only on top of the fries, we were hoping for more once we dug in middle, but nope. Its good though, that's what mattered. 4. Side portion Crawfish Etouffee, the thickness of the gravy were there. Fluffy rice is a plus. Flavors were spot on...BUT WHERE'S THE CRAWFISH?!?! I had about 1 piece crawfish maybe 2...and a half at the most. The chunks included in the gravy were vegetables and herbs. Do they make this gravy in a big batch? Or to order? I don't know, but the crawfish ratio needs to be more than less than 3 pieces. 5. Entree portion Seafood Gumbo - again fluffy rice, good job! BUT hmm...man this had no flavor at all. 2 pieces of shrimp, and 2 pieces of (maybe fish) but the consistency of chicken in a bowl full of watered down black roux gravy that happened to have no flavor. We did not enjoy this one. I've had better Gumbo/Gumbo-like dishes elsewhere. Overall experience was good! The food...most hit, some didn't. Will definitely try coming back again. Not soon, but someday. But at the same time, the prices on the menu were like coming to a low end steakhouse joint. Portions were a bit skimp. Big potential. This joint is probably still fairly brand new, it'll grow and make its way. 3 stars.

Came into this location for the first time today! So excited they have a brick and mortar now because we loved going to their food truck pre pandemic! So delicious! This little spot is the perfect location and they have a drive thru can you say BONUS! Upon walking in you can smell the deliciousness! They are fully staffed and the place is jumping. People coming in picking up orders and sitting down to dine so I hope it does well here! Can't wait to try the food again I'm already knowing it's gonna be great!

1708 Webster St Alameda, CA 94501"Southern Comfort Kitchen" offers fast-casual Cajun food at fair prices. This new restaurant takes over the location of Kowloon Station, next door to Subway Sandwiches. They call it "fast-casual" food, but it's not fast food. I've been there twice, and wait times are about 10-15 mins. Of course it depends on how busy they are. I have seen customers leaving with 2-3 big bags of food. So this restaurant chain probably has a lot of fans already. Okay, my first visit was Friday night, Oct 4, around 9pm. I had to wait while a customer placed a huge order. I ordered the "50/50 Shrimp and Catfish w/ Cajun Fries." I took my order home and discovered they forgot the Cajun Fries. I drove back to the restaurant and asked for my fries. The young man at the counter said my order doesn't include Cajun Fries. He said there's a glitch in their new computer system that makes that mistake. I told him the menu says "with fries," my receipt says "with fries," and the order taker asked me how I wanted my fries (hard or soft). Then a voice from the back said "give him the fries." Folks, check your order before you leave. But how was the food? "50/50 Shrimp and Catfish w/ Cajun Fries" was very good! The Shrimp and Catfish were fresh and tasty. No fishy smell. The catfish meat was flaky and firm. The cornmeal batter had just the right seasoning. It's not salty. Those Cajun fries were excellent. They were worth going back for. Grade (5/5) for the food, Grade (2/5) for the service. My second visit was on a very warm Sunday. It was 12-noon, and temps were near 90*F. I met up with another Yelp Elite for lunch. I wanted to share opinions and observations about this place. Brett, the owner, was taking orders and thanking us for coming. The kitchen looked very busy. I ordered: "Crab Cajun Fries," Carrot Cake, and Unsweetened Ice Tea. The crab was fresh, moist, and not fishy. The Cajun Fries gave the dish a mildly salty taste. The carrot cake was moist, fresh, and the taste was perfect. The unsweetened tea needs to be a bit stronger to stand up to the ice. Food (4/5), Service (4/5), Decor (4/5). If you Dine-in, you might be served with real plates and silverware. MISC Tips:- Small shared parking in back. - The main entrance has steps. If that's a problem, use the parking lot entrance in back.- Small outdoor enclosed patio- Large screen TV in dining room- restrooms in rear of dining room. - has a drive thruOverall, a good experience, and I will return.
