This is one of the southern food locations in the Bay Area. It’s my second time coming here and I’m glad that they bring this type of food at the western side. It doesn’t seem to be many places like this in the Bay.
From the first time I went, their fried catfish and shrimp (50/50 dish) was amazing. I really heard good things about gumbo from online. I grew up eating rice and so I decided to try it out for the first time. Honestly, it’s really good though especially how the sauce blends well with the rice and seafood.
I also tried their brown sugar lemonade before and got mines again. It’s been at least two years since I last visit but I guess I forgot that you can fill that lemonade yourself. I thought that they’ll fill it and then serve it to you.

While the fried chicken sandwich is what Southern Comfort Kitchen is most known for, it’s not what I craved on my first visit. Rather, I ordered small portions of the crab fries and crawfish étouffée. The fries were delicious, with a healthy amount of rock crab lumped on top along with Old Bay aioli and Cajun seasonings on the fries themselves. The dish has plenty of green onions, and I love green onions. The fries had a great crunch, and they did not go limp under the aioli sauce.
The crawfish étouffée’s sauce was rich with mellow spices. I appreciated its generous helping of green onions as well, though I did wish for more crawfish. Regardless, the étouffée combined nicely with the rice and the side of baguette that they provided even with my “small” portion.
My husband ordered a quarter muffaletta sandwich and a side of regular fries. The quarter looked large enough to satisfy a light appetite, with a copious amount of cheese melting out the sides.
Of course, I had to go back to try the fried chicken sandwich. I should note that it’s not a “hot chicken” sandwich, but an amazing classic one without chile heat. Two freshly fried chicken breasts are served on the bun with a red vinegar coleslaw, pickles, and more of the Old Bay aioli. The incredible tastes and tingles from the herbs and spices in this well-seasoned batter thrilled my tastebuds. I refrained from drizzling over Crystal hot sauce once I realized how lovely the sandwich was without it–this one just plain doesn’t need that extra zest. The coleslaw’s vinegar dressing tang, the pickle brine, and the creamy aioli all mingle with those seasonings, making a near-perfect mix of flavors and textures for a sandwich. No notes. Wonderful.
If you’re craving good Cajun cooking, I don’t think you can do much better than Southern Comfort Kitchen in the Bay Area.

Parking plenty
Clean & great natural lighting.
Didnt wait long to be seated for a party of 3 on a Sunday morning. It was busy though.
Service, great. Every worker that interacted with my family and I was welcoming & friendly.
Every bite of everything we ordered was DELICIOUS. Portions were PERFECT especially for my family & I.

If you are on the lookout for some good creole cuisine or just want to try something new, look no further from Southern comfort food. They got some hefty po’ boys and flavourful étouffée.
You order at the counter and wait for the delicious food. Service was fast on the day we went as we didn’t have to wait long.
We got some Mac and cheese which is little different from the home made one. This was bit tough but tasted good. The Crawfish Étouffée was large portioned and tasted delicious. Hush puppies were piping hot and fresh. They also have beignets on weekends.
All they are missing is some oceanside swamps and views to make this a perfect Louisiana backwaters hangout. Geaux Tigers!

I was going to give it 3, but I haven’t tried everything on the menu and the food does “look” good. I really wanted to like this place a lot, but I have to be honest with myself and what I’ve tasted. The chicken sandwich looks great and is a hefty portion, but the chicken was dry and the bread was also as well. I’m wondering if the bread was a bit too toasted, a bit burnt at the edges though that’s negligible. Sauce and slaw didn’t really add much to the experience. Ultimately the chicken sandwich was passable. I also got the crab fries because it was highly recommended. Unfortunately, the crab meat was a bit lacking. It was all shredded which probably was the reason it lacked a bit of that crab flavor. It felt watery when eaten alone. So basically, the crab fries was fries with some added texture. I was hoping it really gave a bit of the crab punch, but unfortunately not. The Cajun seasoning and sauce overpowers a tasteless crab meat so it felt like money wasted. Fries were good though, so I’d get them by themself next time. Both items look amazing though, perfect for the gram. I’m hoping to try some of their other dishes and hopefully they are better than what I had.

Order shrimp and grits with brown sugar brussel sprouts and brown sugar lemonade, it was really really good, I enjoyed not only the meal, the music and atmosphere was lively, and enjoyable.
I would definitely eat here again and maybe try the pasta, it all looked amazing. Well prepared, and tasty!!!!

Southern Comfort Kitchen is a great spot for anyone craving bold, authentic Southern flavors. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff was friendly and welcoming, setting a great tone for our meal. Now, onto the food—overall, it was delicious! The gumbo was rich and hearty, with a deep, flavorful roux that tasted like it had been simmering all day. The jambalaya was perfectly seasoned, with a nice balance of spice that gave a little kick without being overwhelming. We also tried the shrimp and grits, which had a creamy, flavorful sauce that paired beautifully with the perfectly cooked blacken shrimp. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that while we were waiting for for our order, a server came to clean our table, she sprayed the table while we were seated at the table. It wasn’t a dealbreaker, but it was an unpleasant experience. On with the food, portions were generous, and the flavors made it well worth the wait.
Overall, this is a solid choice for Cajun and Southern comfort food. If you’re in the mood for hearty, flavorful dishes in a relaxed and welcoming setting, I’d definitely recommend giving this place a try. I’ll be back to explore more of the menu!

The service was fast and friendly. Ordered a few things: hush puppies (7/10), Mac n cheese (7/10 – could have cooked it a bit more), 50/50 Cajun platter with crab fries (7/10 for the catfish, 8/10 for shrimp and 8/10 for crab fries), and catfish po’boy( 8.74/10). It got busy after we got there so for sure they have good stuff there. What we got was okay but maybe I’ll go again to try something completely different.

Absolutely delicious! This place knows what it’s doing! We loved everything we tried and liked it so much that we ate here TWICE on our short visit from out of state!
My husband loved the Jambalaya and hasn’t stopped talking about it all month! We tried to recreate it at home – it’s just not the same lol we miss it!
I had corn flour bartered shrimp (gf!) and the sauce they served with it?! Mouth watering. We also LOVED the brown sugar lemonade. We ordered one and liked it so much we ordered another! We also ordered the crab Cajun fries which were good, but we liked the shrimp and jambalaya much better, and that was what we re-ordered when we went back!
They were very nice about my allergy and didn’t make me feel like a burden! There isn’t a lot of seating, so we ordered it to go the second time. Parking is easy and plentiful when we went at least!
