Southern Kin Cookhouse

Exceptional take on Southern cuisine. The Southern fried steak had a creamy Cajun flair, and the grilled catfish was a flavorful filling portion with plenty of black eyed peas and okra. Would definitely return.Food: 5/5

This place was exactly what I needed after moving to the area recently, and the fact that I’ve been missing southern hospitality. Everyone was wonderful and I can’t wait to come back. My server was phenomenal between her positivity and recommendations, and the food did not disappoint. The chicken and waffles was delicious! My partner really enjoyed my peach french toast and I liked it too, but it didn’t suit my personal preference. I ended up eating more of his delicious chicken instead :

Their burger is pretty amazing, especially the fries! Food quality is 5 stars, but the service is maybe 3 stars because they never brought what I asked for. I had to ask a host to give me a napkin. The server didn’t seem to mind when we asked for utensils and a napkin and just left after serving us food.Food: 5/5

Recently had an event at Southern Kin and it was awesome!! The music and atmosphere were amazing. The food was perfect and beautifully presented. Compliments to the staff and chef for a great time!! Will definitely be back and you should too.Food: 5/5

I will never be ordering the catfish from here again. The people that handled my order were nice but the food itself was not the same. I got an INSANELY small portion for a $25 meal and am very disappointed, and I honestly don’t think I’ll be coming back.Food: 1/5

I hadn't been to Southern Kin for many years but decided to go back for Father's Day brunch. The style of food is something I typically crave and is a staple in my house. I ordered the biscuits and gravy which came with fried chicken thighs and two eggs, as pictured. Individual components of the dish were very good and cooked perfectly, but the sausage gravy lacked any flavor and was just a puddle of cream. This was really disappointing since the whole dish was slathered in cream. To top it off we got a side of scrambled eggs for my toddler and, although plentiful, were inedible due to too much salt we sent them back and they were removed from the bill. It was first thing in the morning but the kitchen was not doing well to send out such food.

I went to the Southern Kin in Assembly, Somerville, MA, for the second time, and wow, what an upgrade in their food since March! Starting with the appetizers, the Devilish Eggs, boasting beet-cured eggs, bacon candy, jalapeno, and beet chips, were an absolute delight--one of my favorites with an easy 9/10 rating! The corn ribs, featuring roasted corn, cashew sour cream, aleppo chili, and toasted pecans, were nothing short of spectacular. My brother declared them the best corn he's ever had, and I wholeheartedly agree--10/10! The mac 'n' cheese, adorned with breadcrumbs, scored an 8/10 for its comforting twist, while the salad, while a tad standard, held its own at 6/10. The Fried Green Tomatoes, topped with crab, grilled corn, cherry pepper salad, and garlic aioli, delivered a tasty experience, although the corn did steal the spotlight a bit--7/10. Moving on to the large plates, the Shrimp n' grits, featuring andouille sausage gravy and cheddar grits, were a symphony of flavors. I especially enjoyed the sausage--7/10. We also tried their alligator tacos and these are so fun to try especially if you are an adventurous foodie like myself-trust me they taste like chicken 8/10 Dessert was a sweet finale, and you can't go wrong with the Chocolate peanut butter and peach pie slices. The chocolate peanut butter stole our hearts, and while the peach pie lacked a bit of fresh peach punch, it was still a delicious treat--8/10. In summary, Southern Kin has truly upped its culinary game, earning a solid 8/10 overall food rating. While affordability and ambiance both received a commendable 7/10, the diverse and flavorful offerings make it a must-visit for those seeking a delightful dining experience!

Southern food in New England, sign me up! Definitely a great choice for a taste of the south. The fried chicken was amazing, crispy and perfectly seasoned. The collard greens were pretty good, I wished they used smoked turkey but nonetheless still pretty good. I loved the Mac n cheese, velveeta was a great addition. The grits were more like polenta, not our favorite and that’s what my bf was most excited about. I hated the chai espresso martini lol not my thing I guess but three of us ordered it and wasn’t feeling it. I would definitely recommend though, order the fried chicken plate or chicken and waffles and you won’t go wrong.

My group came on a Sunday at 12:30. It wasn’t too crazy in there at that point. I ordered the Cajun shrimp scramble. The jalapeño cream cheese was fantastic. I will say that the eggs were really salty though. The waitress was willing to take it back but I didn’t want to go through the hassle. I also ordered the Mac n cheese — could be cheesier; it was really runny. My friend ordered the cornbread — the butter on it tasted good. A little too dense for me though. Parking: Parking in the garage is free for the first three hours!

I usually don’t leave reviews, but when a plate of food is special; I have to. Let me tell y’all about the Chicken and Waffles I had last night. First, it was a very good portion of food. There were three fluffy pieces of waffles with one chicken breast and a big leg. It also came with some spicy honey and what I believe it hot sauce. The breast was JUICY! I was able to rip off multiple pieces of chicken off the breast. It was well cooked and flavored. I was actually in awe by how delicious it was. The waffles as I said earlier was nice and fluffy. The syrup was a little spicy which was surprising, but not overwhelming. The leg wasn’t as juicy as the breast, but I was still able to pull multiple pieces off of it. Overall, this is 100% a meal I would get again. I am also open to trying different options on the menu. Kudos to Southern Kin Cookhouse for their dedication to their craft. And while this meal was on the pricier side $28.75 on Grubhub, I didn’t regret buying it.
