It's pretty small, but the decor is cool, they play country music in the background. ”

The food was awesome- especially the fried pickles and Ribs, the drinks were tasty ( although you can't go wrong with BBQ sauce, baseball, and beer! ”

From what I hear, the food is sick too. ”

The waitress was great and very attentive, we got our drinks and food very quickly. ”

I've had pulled chicken and fried green tomatoes that were actually very good. ”

After we enjoyed a tasty dinner (try the BBQ nachos with pulled chicken and baby back ribs!) ”
- “
Oh, the food: the ribs were ok (NOT worth the wait); the cornbread was dry; the potato salad and mac & cheese lacked flavor; tater tots were ok; shrimp entree was ok; fried green tomatoes were probably the best part of the meal; string beans were vinegary ”

Fiance's pulled pork was the only thing decent. ”

The food was extremely authentic and delicious. ”

If you want real barbeque you might as well just go to Dinosaur bbq where the food and service is actually good. ”
- “
The potato salad had too much mayo and not enough spices, tater tots were good, but tasted same from the freezer bag. ”
- “
The wings were good, the pulled platters were less than fantastic. ”
- “
The claims on the menu that the food is slow smoked is highly questionable given how dry the wings were that my friends and I ordered as an app. ”

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

and their ribs are amazing, as are their wings. ”

My friends and I came for dinner (awesome wings), and ended up staying at the bar after. ”

- “
Great Fun Place with GREAT food and service. ”
- “
The chicken was good, the beans delicious, the man 'n cheese was lukewarm meh, the fries were overflowing and good. ”
- “
Corn bread was dry, collard greens too vinegary, fries were dead and soggy and corn was awful. ”
- “
If you want to hang out with the kind of people who equate the quality of the establishment with the celebrity behind it while eating bad cafeteria food, this is your place. ”
- “
I'm sorry to say it but the food at Southern Hospitality was by far the worst food I have eaten in New York since I moved six months ago. ”
