Unacceptable!. This was the worst BBQ I have ever eaten! We ordered the King’s Combo – the fried chicken was dry, the ribs were burnt black charcoal, the brisket had some flavor but was 98% greasy fat so the 2% of greasy meat was unacceptable. The waitress replaced the ribs with another set that was not brunt but complete fat. The waitress apologized and said she was glad that we were nice to her because the guy before us treated her as though she had cooked his bad burger. The manager was apologetic and took the meal off of our bill. He then asked us if we wanted some dessert. At that point we were so sick from all of the grease and fat (or what they call BBQ) that we declined. Any good reviews about this restaurant must have something to do with Justin Timberlake. He clearly needs to stick to singing and stay out of the food industry.

Mmmm beverage tastings.
I recently attended a Bourbon tasting at Southern Hospitality. Our host, Chris was lively, fun, informative and quite responsive.
We were treated to a mini education about how this spirit, that is basically a whisky, came to be known as bourbon (it has to do with distribution, but I won't spoil that story). Our group got to sample generous pours of a number of different varieties of bourbon. Accompanied by a few sample plates of the S.H. food. I had no idea pickles were something that could be fried. Although I would venture a guess nearly anything could be deep fried. The ribs were quite well received. The golden brown crawfish hush puppies were also a crowd favorite.
Great spot for parties and gatherings.
They seem to maintain a full events calendar. A few of the other participants were regulars at S.H. and made mention

Hospitality? Not so sure.
I went to this restaurant with high hopes.
I don't like Justin Timberlake but I was hoping I'd like his restaurant at least. Plus any restaurant that has Fried Pickles has a fan in me.
My friend and I went on Tuesday night - it wasn't busy at this time. In terms of food - good! LOVED the Fried Pickles and LOVED the Chicken and Waffles. We were in a little bit of a rush but the food came out very fast so that was great.
The waitress we had was nice but so slow. I work in a restaurant so I know how it is, but it wasn't even busy. We were hiding in the back somewhere so it is possible that maybe she just kept forgetting we were even there but it took forever to leave just because she kept forgetting about us.
I might go back again. It wasn't a horrible experience or anything. It was just sorta good.

Some of the Best Chicken, EVER!. Southern Hospitality is one my favorite restaurants in New York. I heard a lot of hype about the place, both good and bad, and decided to try it for myself. I was seated fast and the food came within minutes of ordering. Don't let the prices on the menu fool you- you get enough bang for your buck. Their original chicken is the best! There is never usually a long line or wait for food. I have found that the best time to go is between noon and four during the weekdays since there usually is not a lot of people there. Overall, one of my favorite restaurants in New York.

Some of the best fried chicken in NYC. Come hungry and go for the King's Combo - some of the best fried chicken you'll find anywhere, especially in Manhattan.

My favorite place.
Southern Hospitality is the best! The food is delicious, and I absolutely love their spareribs and mac'n'cheese. My roommate had never had BBQ before we went here for my last birthday, and now she's hooked. The servers are great, and my friends and I have a lot of fun there. They have live music several times a week, which always brings a fun crowd. Check out their page on Twitter for specials, like free fried pickles or drinks for telling the bartender certain phrases.
Definitely a spot to check out while you're in NYC.

I Will Definitely Be Coming Back!!. Last week I went to Southern Hospitality for the first time, and I will definitely be going back! My friends and I came for dinner (awesome wings), and ended up staying at the bar after. The staff was friendly, and even though the place was busy, our waitress was very attentive. If you are looking for a good time and great bbq, make sure you check it out.
