What People Are Saying About Southern Kitchen

The Scene – Patrons wait in long lines to inhabit a spot at the long breakfast counter, one of the few comfy booths or the no-frills diner tables at the front of the small storefront. Early mornings it's cops and hard-hat crews, later it fills up with folks in suits with cellies. Co-owner Rosemarie Thompson seems to know everybody, or at least she fakes it real well. – – The Food – They've won serious accolades for their apple and cinnamon French toast, but the egg dishes have lots of devotees. Omelets are four-egg monsters, stuffed with sausage, avocado and all manner…

I lost my L S U southern cookbook at this place and they still use it.

I have been around the SK since Rose decided to buy out owner Tom Ward. She made the commitment to hold the standards of the food served to the best possble tastes, portions, varieties, service and value. Everything is great and the wait is worth it. I just wish I could get my Louisiana State University cookbook back which Rose promised long ago in 1997.

There Otta Be A Law
by jjsurf22
Really disappointing experience. We have taken relatives and friends to Southern Kitchen for years and the past 3 experiences have been a real disappointment. Despite the long waits, the food quality has definitely changed for the worse, strange grits, tough eggs, holandaise sauce that two at the table suggested might be right out of a can. When our guest from out of state approached the manager, possible owner, to comment that the bisquits served to our table were stale, his response "but we baked them yesterday". When we then mentioned that the water glass he had been using was delivered to the table with a huge red lipstick stain, the manager/owner responded "Yeah, There Otta Be a Law" .
With other fine restaurants available in Los Gatos, we will pass on the Souther Kitchen the next time we entertain guests in LG.

The world's best grits!!!
by Julia Childs
My Husband and I are from Nashville visiting the northern California area. We always try to find good local restaurants to eat at. I found this place by reading the reviews from Citysearch. This place was great, when we arrived on a Sunday it was about 10:30 and we had less than a 5 minute wait. The food goes from super heavy to light and healthy. I had the mushroom and cheese omlette with artichokes and jack cheese. It was served with crisoy hashbrowns, superb! My Husband had the eggs benedict with bacon and creamy grits, they were awsome! Highly recommend this place, cool people, good service and solid food selections.
- Pros: Parking, food quality, food quanity, service
