I love Justin Timberlake and I love fried chicken. My first experience at Southern Hospitality was amazing. The food was great considering I wasn't expecting much from a bar. The fried chicken was perfectly spiced and cooked - still juicy and succulent. Their mashed potatoes, at the time was a mix of idaho potato and sweet potato. Translation - it was so good!! The collared greens and cornbread was also quite tasty. I remember going home one extremely happy girl. That was back in early 2008.
Fast forward to present day, and I have no idea what happened to the food!!! It genuinely makes me sad. Every visit since then, the food has gone down in ratings. The crowd has increasingly become not my favorite - meathead guys and snooty girls. Hello, peeps, we are in a bar, not some swanky club.
I used to hear every often JT would pay a visit to the place. Not sure I have heard that anymore... maybe because it's not what it used to be.
JT, get the place back to where it was!!! Please. As a big fan of yours, I would like to support you in your endeavors. Not sure I can continue supporting this one though... :(
Note: this is one of my favorite places to watch football. I haven't had dinner here or anything - I've just been here enough to realize I should give it a review.
For sundays - it can't be beat. 10 dollar pitchers and 5 dollar appetizers (which include buffalo wings, nachos with bbq sauce and baked beans, jalapeno peppers and fried pickles). It's a great place to meet friends to watch the game and eat and drink. Monday nights its 20 dollars all you can drink coors and all you can eat wings.
The nachos with bbq sauce/baked beans are AWESOME. Sweet and delicious. Wings are a-okay - nothing special - but hey - they are good enough.
And the place gets crowded, but it's never overwhelming to watch the game. Good sized outdoor section and super friendly waitresses and bartenders. I like it!
Sadly this place is no bueno. I came here recently to watch the UCLA game with Bruin alums and I was not impressed. They literally blast A/C in your face (pretty annoying when you have contacts). The place was pretty empty when we came in, but the waitress insisted we sit RIGHT IN FRONT of the a/c vent. What a logical lady.
Me to my friend Sarah: Wow I didn't know I was going to be in Siberia, I should've brought a jacket with me.
The food was very forgettable...and cold! But that's probably the a/c's fault. We ordered a few sides: mac & cheese, chipotle butter corn on the cob, fries, and sweet potato fries. The normal fries were okay but the sweet potato fries sucked. They were way too greasy and bland. The mac & cheese wasn't bad, but then again who can really mess that staple up? I guess everything Justin Timberlake touches does not turn to gold.
I'm embarrassed to write this review because then I would have to admit that I actually ate at a restaurant owned by Justin Timberlake. But I was dragged here by a friend so I want you to know that I did not go willingly. I'll keep it short and sweet--food is average and a bit bland. I did enjoy eating tater tots after a 20-some-odd-year hiatus. But that's about it for me. Service was awful. Don't bother with this place unless you need some fried chicken right now or are a huge JT fan. He may be bringing sexy back, but he should leave the cooking to someone else.
A large group of us came here for brunch. A few actually being from the south. Everyone ordered different dishes and all were equally displeased. The general concensus was we wouldn't return for brunch. They did have a good selection of dishes but not worth going there for anything specific.
All I gotta say is Mac n Cheese!!!!!!!!
Justin Timberlake is part owner?
Two words:
Shit
Hole
If you're all about checkin out overweight sorority girls and steriod pumped frat boys, then go for it. I just wanted some good cookin, but didn't even get that far since I couldn't walk past the bar. Nothing about the place was appealing. Yelling people, crowded bar - I don't care if Lindsay Lohan hangs out here, I mean seriously - can you really judge anything based on anything she says or does?
Of the few places in NYC that charge a cover to watch UFC, I expected a good experience from Southern Hospitality(and the name of this place is pretty ironic considering the rest of this review). The cost of UFC to watch at home is 49.99. My friend and I paid $20 each to get in plus a couple of drinks each. This took us well over $50. We sat at a small table where the waitress informed us no less than 3 times that we would be asked to move if people showed up who want to order food. This wasn't told to us by the hostess or the waitress upon seating.
I'll be going back to Playwright in Mid-Town where there's no cover. It's the same exact experience but at a much better value.
And by the way, they charge $6.95 for (an admittedly good banana pudding)in a slightly larger than babyfood-jar-sized jar.
So if you like paying $20 to stand at an average bar, this is your place!
Looking forward to the 'Owners Reply' on here.
I think the overall rating of JT's restaurant is pretty accurate at 2 1/2 stars. The food is just okay..I mean we ordered the nachos and while a very large portion, I wasn't a huge fan of the BBQ sauce drizzled over the cheese and beans and it was hard to eat, you just didn't know where to start but I can't complain about that. I mean it did come in handy later on and it warmed up in the micro pretty well as a late night snack.
I thought their drinks were quite weak as well. More juice and less vodka..at $7 a pop in a small glass. Errmmm well at least I didn't get drunk..how could I? There was only half a shot of vodka in my vodka pineapple. Also, have you ever heard of a person who can get drunk off pineapple juice? Me neither.
Okay so this is what actually will earn this place 3 stars..the two hostesses/waitresses rubbing eachother down in the FRONT entrance area completely oblivious (or were they?) to the fact that one of them was getting this sensual backrub to the point where the other girl took the straps of her tank top down and her top was nearly half way down showing her buxom bosom! And her eyes were closed and the other girl was just rubbing her all up and down..and..well no this is not oil-wrestling, these are the hostesses in the front hahaha Everyone was watching and I took a few glances myself. It was like they were in their own world. So if you do go for the subpar food and drinks you might luck out and get a show by these two girls. As for me? I won't be returning.
Don't eat here. Just, don't.
Listen to all the other Yelp reviews too. I didn't want to believe all the negativity from other people, but this place is pretty weak.
With that said, don't eat here. I know that the restaurant is owned by Justin Timberlake, but that doesn't mean anything other than it's owned by Justin Timberlake. The food is, if not average, below average. Do yourself a favor and don't eat here. The food was bland and so typical that it sucked. You can get better Southern food elsewhere.
If anything, come to see it and look inside. I recommend only getting drinks at the bar. That seems like a better, and only, thing to do. Otherwise, go somewhere else. Trust me.
The ONLY reason this place even gets one star is because you might have a celebrity sighting. My friend who lives close by has seen a number of celebrities. You will know one is there if there is a black SUV and some body guards.
Okay, let me start this review by saying I'm from Texas so I came to this place with a slightly skeptical attitude. I wanted it to be good, I really did. But it was just alright.
I came here with a couple of friends for brunch and I think the wait staff was hung over from the night before. They brought us the wrong menus, forgot that biscuits and gravy came with the plate my friend and I split and were, in general, not all that hospitable. I guess we should have taken it as a bad sign when we were the only people there for brunch on a Sunday.
This restaurant definitely didn't make me feel like I was in the south. It may be passable for someone who has never experienced real BBQ and sweet tea, but it should probably be avoided by people who have eaten authentic southern food.
It might have been that we had just come back from Anguilla where we ate the best roadside BBQ-- but Southern Hospitality just didn't cure the new BBQ cravings I've developed since returning.
We started out with the fried pickle chips which were tasty, but a bit salty. I went with the pulled pork sandwich with fries and cole slaw. Nothing remarkable about the platter. Best part of the meal had to be the mac and cheese, that, and the sweet iced tea. Worst part of the meal was the obnoxious guy at the bar, some people just need to learn to simmer down.
Could be better.
I don't usually do BBQ joints but once in a while the urge calls and I answered. I know this is Justin Timberlake's restaurant but I really didn't care - the food and overall satisfaction is what determines my 3 star rating.
The food was okay, really nothing memorable (SH burger). The fried pickle was interesting though. Actually I don't know if anything was unfried on the menu.
Overall, go if it's convenient or have a psychotic obsession with Justin Timberlake..even though I'm sure you'll never catch him there.
I had my first and only serious case of food poisoning after eating here. I felt like my insides had turned into lava. They say kidney stones and giving birth are the most painful things ever, and if that's true then I don't know about this baby thing, because I can't imagine anything hurting worse than the fallout from eating shrimp salad at Southern Hospitality. (Sorry, Mr. JT!)
I guess my first problem was trying to eat healthy at a BBQ place. I shall never again order seafood at a bar. If I ever dare go there again (and I just might--the ribs are sooo good), I will stick with piles of meat and fried things.
Ugh, I'm gonna puke. Well, not really, but I probably should. I just got back from Southern… Read more »
this is some of the worst bbq i've ever had. refrigerator cold brisket, ribs that are 10000% salty on one side and 0% on the other, and really pathetic dry as hell chicken.
you couldn't pay me to eat this shit again. i feel bad for JT having his name anywhere near this food.
JT has only failed in two things in life, and I'm sad to say that this is one of them (for those interested, the other one is Edison--the straight-to-dvd movie that you've never heard of).
I've only been here once, but that's one time too many. Tried the Pulled Chicken Sandwich, which might as well have been shreds of bark as far as I'm concerned. It was so dry and tasteless that I could only take one bite. I didn't want to try anything else on the menu for fear that I would just be dumping away more money.
If you absolutely must swing by in hopes of catching JT+JB, ask for a seat on the front patio where you can at least enjoy the sun (when it's out) and some people watching.
Take the money that you were going to spend eating here, and buy JT's cd/concert tickets instead! Or maybe rent Edison, which I've never seen, but can't imagine it being any worse than this.
Its impossible to find a healthy thing from this menu. Im not from the south so im not acustomed to the waitress reccomending fried pickles or chicken and waffles.
This spot is chill to go and grab some beers and an appitzer by the front bar. The only excitement you get here is hoping that maybe Jessica Biel strolls in for a snack.
Ribs were dry and very over cooked, sweet potato fries over salted and mushy and the corn was cold. Shrimp salad had 5 small shrimp in it and the house special drink, 901 something or other was not worth $12. Stick with the $3 drafts and other promoted specials. Def a great place to go watch a game or hang out at the bar.
BUT!!!
The servers were all stunning and really nice. I would go back just for them.
Justin Timberlake owns this joint?
Well... you certainly wouldn't know by the music. JT, get your sexy back in here and fix this mess before what comes around goes around, okay?
So, it's Valentine's Day and one of my overzealous single friends suggest we come here to indulge in their all-you-can-drink package for $45 and of course, to scope the men. Foreshadowing: I smartly chose to pay as I drank.
The drinks: uninspired but delivered in a timely fashion.
The scene: not me. Not at all. When a guy asks my gorgeous friend if she is actually ordering a drink (yes she is) or just merely hogging 'valuable' bar space, you know we're not mingling with gentlemen. We're playing in the sandbox.
Five similar interactions later and these senoritas said hasta la vista, baby. Buh bye.
Service was awkward and awkwardly dressed - what's with the weird bandanna-headbands? Food was fair, but small for the exorbitant prices. In old jeans and a sweater I felt out of place next to the fratty sports fans, and after splitting an entree with my friend and having a couple of pricey glasses of wine we dropped $80 and I'll never return.
Since mostly my friends and I drank, it was fun. It is very difficult to mess up beer, vodka and tequila. But we tried some of the food and it was not too shabby.
Granted, not the kind of place you can go to every night unless you want to expand to Fat Bastard proportions, but still was fun for a random Tuesday night when there was baseball, hockey and basketball on.
Justin Timberlake's shitty restaurant, that I'm sure if he had any actual involvement in, would receive his ultimate seal of disapproval. An embarrassment to my neighborhood.
Shitty undercooked fried chicken.
TV dinner tasting mashed potatoes.
Half frozen corn?
Shitty cornbread.
This place made me sick. Really. I had a friend in town. We decided to check this place out after hearing good things from a friend. I had the Chicken Strips and Tots.
Two hours later I was confined to the bathroom writing my last will and testament.
Honestly, the food wasn't bad. It wasn't good either. It just was. Add in the horrible stomach sickness afterward and I'm pretty sure I won't be eating there in the future.
And if you're going because it's JT's restaurant. Save your money. He won't be there. His music won't be playing. And two hours on the toilet won't bring your sexy back.
Ok, ok, ok, I'm changing my original critique - slightly. SoHos is still nothing out of this world, however - it did partially redeem itself the other night.
Two of my friends (along with a dozen others) hosted a fundraiser here for their marathon training group. I know that they had a lot of trouble getting a restaurant to host this sort of open-bar-to-benefit-their-cause, but SoHos came through for them. Which, I must say, was kind.
Also, I hadn't realized this, but they have Chimay on tap!!! Of course it wasn't included in the bar specials for the fundraiser but - I'm always prone to reevaluating an establishment if Chimay is to be found.
Additionally, I ventured out of the pulled pork world and had the mac n' cheese. Chicken Little, to be precise (bbq chicken inside a huuuuge pan of browned mac n' cheese). Oh heavens, it was delicious. (Actually, our table of 6 ALL ordered some variety of this dish and everyone was a fan, especially of the gargantuan proportions).
Still sad to report, according to our bleach-blonde faux-Southern waitress, JT doesn't stop by more than once in a blue moon.
Nothing special about JT's little business venture here.
The food is just fine. I had a pulled pork…

I'm a bit confused as to why Yelpers have only given Southern Hospitality an average of 2 1/2 stars. I've always had a good time here, including tonight.
I had dinner with a friend, and I ordered the pulled pork sandwich. The pulled pork is my favorite thing on the menu, as it is tender and just finger-lickin' delish. The fries are also tasty, especially with the honey mustard I ordered on the side. The cole slaw was just ok, but I like to consider that as just inedible garnish. I have also had the fried pickles. While it's yummy, it's overpriced for not being actual pickle spears.
Furthermore, the service tonight was great. Our server was attentive and friendly. After we were done with our meals, someone came to pick up the plates and also wiped down our table, so we could continue having a conversation at a clean table. We didn't feel rushed.
Overall, I'd recommend this place...even if Justin Timberlake didn't own it.
TIP: Try the pulled pork sandwich! :)
I've eaten a few times from Southern Hospitality's delivery menu, and while the food was predominantly good, a few items from their menu are rather bad - the brisket being the worst part (as with Brother JImmy's).
The good news is that for the most part, it's very well-prepared and extremely tasty Barbeque, and while it's not up to the standard of, say, Blue Smoke, for the price and the convenience on the UES it's certainly worth it.
This place is NOT a BBQ joint!!! Its a sports bar! It does fine as such but horrible as a BBQ place as the food is not good. The appetizer platter is $30 and has:
BBQ nachos- good baked beans on it
Fried ribs- yuck, why would u do that to ribs
Fried pickles- first time i have had these...they were ok
Buffalo chicken wings- normal
pulled pork mini sandwiches- ok
The waitress was horrible as she gave us attitude and pressured us into ordering food/drinks when we CLEARLY were not ready. She made faces and treated us badly as we didnt order food until our party came. Then she kept asking if we wanted a pitcher of beer when we were obviously still working on round 1. So we ordered a pitcher and it sat for awhile so we could finish...warming up. She basically ordered the onion strings for us which were HORRIBLE..no onion taste waste of $10!!! She needs to chill as rushing us wouldnt make a difference.
This place is nicely set up for a sports bar but like a sports bar dont go here expecting good food. Or service for that matter....
Last night, 11/1/09, I arrived to the bar around 6:45pm with 4 friends to enjoy food, drinks and the Yankee game. My friends and I sat at the bar and were served by the bartender Kat throughout the night. At around 9:30 pm, I was shocked to look up and see the bartender named Mo tapping on the counter in front of me shouting, "put some money on the ****ing table," my friends and I all looked around at each other in such confusion. He continue to yell in our faces saying, "what you don't have any money?" We had no idea what he was talking about and then he started shouting at us to leave immediately. He then proceeded to flick all the change from our french fries (nickles and dimes) at us. Quickly after that, the bartender Kat who had been serving us all night apologized for his behavior to us. We asked why this would be happening as we had been paying and tipping for all of our beverages, she replied "well you didn't tip on the last pitcher ordered." I will never ever go there again or recommend it.
Was looking for a place on Thurs night where I could get a "hearty" meal and my cousin brought us to Southern Hospitality. After learning it was Justin Timberlake's restaurant (or not...she said something about a falling out between wait staff and JT?) I was intrigued but not expecting much. We arrived earlyish (630) and were seated immediately. There is a covered outdoor patio section, which obviously would be ideal in the summer and the inside was brightly lit, clean, and roomy. The wait staff was attentive throughout the meal and our food came quick.
We were excited by the happy hour specials but after hearing a nearby patron dispute the drink charges on his check, we learned they are only valid at the bar. It would been nice if the specials weren't placed on the tables or if the waitress clarifies this to diners who order off the happy hour drink menu. The margaritas were tasty but high-priced in comparison to our meals. The food was affordable and delicious.
I ordered the pulled chicken with creamed corn and bliss potatoes as sides, and a biscuit which comes with all entrees. I have no complaints about anything. The creamed corn was not too slimy, the potatoes were not too soft, and the chicken was soaked with the tastiest barbecue sauces. My cousins got pulled pork and brisket and both were pleased as well. I especially liked how they threw in a JT song amidst the primarily country-pop mix of music. In addition to the music, there were also TVs showing various sports games.
Though I am not a barbecue expert, I had a good experience and would definitely recommend this restaurant to others.
Best macaroni and cheese I've ever had... by the time the food came I was full from appetizers so I couldn't even eat my burger.. cute fun spot for a quick bite after work.
Unique neighborhood bar food. I like the fried pickles and the Southern Hospitality burger (bbq, cheddar, bacon...coronary).
I come here when I'm feeling a blatant disregard for my health. It's a couple of blocks away from my apartment. It's an upbeat atmosphere with decent tunes and tasty junk food.
I wouldn't come here from another neighborhood to try the food, but it definitely has a place in my list of places to go as long as I'm in the area.
LOUD!!!!!
The food is delicious and the prices are OK, but it's quite LOUD.
Their Mac N Cheese is one of the best I've had!!!
I'm from the south and this wasn't very hospitable. Not when you're expecting good, southern food. Who likes meatloaf and who says it's a southern thing? Ugh. I ordered the Chopped Beef Sand and it was good, but nothing compared to what I have experienced elsewhere. I wouldn't suggest going here unless you are dead set on eating somewhere owned by JT.....which should, honestly, be your first sign as a place to avoid.
I did order one of their $15 specialty cocktails and it was very tasty, but not worth it.
Dear Justin,
How can you make such a crappy restaurant, but such good music to dance to?
Sincerely,
Cassandra
Begin review:
I've been here twice. Once in support of the great JT, and Second because I was in search of comfort food and forgot about my rather lame first experience.
Disclaimer: I waited tables for 6 years.
First the things that bothered me both times I went:
lack of flavor in food
Stupidly loud music for a restaurant. It's not a club people!
Bad service: It's like they hired girls just because they were thin. I couldn't get a drink refill if I was choking on dry cornbread.
Cost/Benefit
Second the things I do like about it:
Casual
Tv's at all angles
Choice of music
BBQ Nachos
I took an out-of-town friend of mine here on a lark on our way to the St. Patrick's Day Parade. "It's owned by Justin Timberlake!" Maybe we were expecting it to look like a JT music video, all thumping and monochromatic and fedoras, but it seemed just like the other pubs we walked into that afternoon, in both decor and the sheer number of female bartenders showing off their navels. After throwing back a few shots of Jameson and big pints of Guinness, we declared exposed stomachs to be "the new cleavage" in terms of shock value and hypnosis-inducement. But apparently we were the ones being watched. The place was filled with guys in suits, guys in cop uniforms, and off-duty firemen. Not the place for a long-haired punk in a leather jacket, and certainly not a place for girls who wear 1940s fur-collared coats and old-lady sunglasses. Whoops. It's in times like these that I regret not packing an Emergency Halter Top.
Unfortunately, all of the obvious trash talking tainted our creamy Guinness breakfast. Drama aside, I propose a bro-inspired slogan: "Southern Hospitality: It Is What It Is."
Eh. Run of the mill BBQ place. Not everything is better deep fried - their deep fried ribs were too much, nor was I going to try a second fried pickle. I think the only thing I liked was the breading on my fried catfish. It's got a loud, sports-bar atmosphere and the highlight of the night was watching the baseball bounce on Luis Castillo's head.
JT could probably do better, but this place is decent. There was no wait when I came at around 7:45p on a Monday night. We ordered the appetizer combo platter and "Dr BBQ's Big Time Combo." We should have known that was more than enough food for the two of us considering that the appetizer was supposed to "serve 4."
The appetizer platter came with nachos, fried ribs, fried pickles, smoked bologna, and chilled shrimp. Everything was good and greasy - exactly the way it should be. The bologna has a very strong smoked smell - I've now washed my hands 5x with soap and water and they still smell like the bologna (guess I shouldn't have picked it up with my hands). The pickles could've been seasoned better as the breading was pretty tasteless. All the other items were decently tasty - especially the nachos which were smothered in cheese, sour cream, peppers, and guacamole yet remained hot and crispy.
The bbq combo (dry Memphis ribs, chicken, and beef brisket) was more quantity than quality. The ribs were a little too dry and not very well-seasoned. However, the chicken was good, and even the white meat was very juicy. There's a large bottle of delicious barbecue sauce at each table, and we squirted it generously over all our meat.
I wish we could have had some choices for sides with our meal like they do at other bbq restaurants. I would have liked something else besides honey baked beans and cole slaw but the restaurant doesn't allow substitutes. As a result, we ended up consuming only meat and we just got too tired of animal after awhile.
We ended the meal with a slice of pecan pie which I wanted to try because JT told E! that it was the best thing on the menu. I liked it - the pie was warm, pecans were caramelized and crunchy, and the crust was melt-in-your-mouth buttery. It WAS the best thing we ate that night, but only because the other items were mediocre.
This is going to sound corny, but JT should focus on bringing sexy back, not baby back (ribs).
I can't believe this place is still open. Had it not been for JT's star power, the fine palates of NYC would have closed Southern Hospitality down LONG AGO.
Supposedly, "Dr. BBQ" runs the meatmaking in this joint. Dr. BBQ's meat sucks. He needs to get outta Dodge.
My smoked BBQ chicken was terrible. I grew up on KC BBQ, so I do know a thing or two about pit-smoked meat. This chicken did NOT taste smoked: meat not pink by the bone, soft and slightly watery. The BBQ'ing was fine, but I could've produced similar results on a charcoal grill in a public park, with a bottle of KC Masterpiece and a can of Budweiser.
(in fact, it was so bad that I'm gonna go out on a limb and say I could've done it with BUD LIGHT. yeah, that's right.)
My friend's brisket looked like a Banquet TV dinner. The only thing missing was the foil tray and the brownie on the side. Speaking of sides, I actually liked the baked beans a lot, and the mac'n'cheese was tasty (though maybe a bit too creamy and gooey, with overcooked noodles). Finally, having two types of bread on one plate offended every civilized bone in my body.
What could possibly be worse than all this? Well, dear reader, let me tell you. This is a Pepsi restaurant. That's right, Pepsi: born in NC, headquartered in upstate NY. Shouldn't "Southern Hospitality" include Atlanta's own?
One of my best friends lives in Hoboken and the last two times I've visited, we've come here for the fried pickles, I'm well-aware NYC has a shit-ton of restaurants, but this has become something fun we do-- and yes, it started as an offshoot of our love for the owner, Justin Timberlake.
The pulled pork sandwich is tasty and I had a pretty good fried chicken meal here too. The food (save for the to-die-for aforementioned fried pickles) is not 100% fabulous, but it's definitely not bad either.
The first time we were here, we were seated next to boneheads who kept throwing their empty glasses against the wall. They left our (shared) waitress a gigantic tip and after they left, she brought my two friends and I a shot, her treat, and we took it with her.
The service the second time was a lot less accommodating and a lot less booze filled-- and I hated the back room. Definitely ask to sit in the front half.
Maybe I am biased because I have lived in the South for the past 8 years, but I can recognize mediocre food pretty easily.
Service: 2
Food : 2
Cleanliness: 3
Overall experience: 2
My pork was fatty and overcooked. The cornbread was as dry as paper. The mac and cheese was forgettable. Our food came out at all different times, about a ten minute gap from the first to the last. The service was terrible. We had to grab our server whenever we needed something. It was comprable to eating at Applebee's or Chili's. Overall, what a waste!
