Simone's Kitchen ATL - Birmingham, Alabama

First time dining here… I had high hopes but I was not satisfied. We ordered the jerk egg rolls and the sauce was tasty and the stuffing for the egg rolls was tasty BUT the egg roll wrap tasted sweet (like cinnamon sugar sweet). For me the flavors were isolated and didn’t mix well. For entrees we ordered the catfish which was fried well but under seasoned (served with two sides) Mac and cheese and fried lemon pepper okra (burned). We also ordered the fries topped with Alfredo sauce, sausage and shrimp. Just like the egg rolls the flavors with the fries did not blend. The Bayou fries could’ve been really good but they lacked flavor.

Our server was great (Michael). While we were there a live DJ set up and started playing music in the downstairs “red room” area. This restaurant had more of an Event Center vibe more than a restaurant to me.

Today is my birthday so why not post a birthday food review. I got the chance to check out Simone’s Kitchen and Cocktails (last week) and here's how my visit went.

Walked in decorations were nice well painted loved the mural of the restaurant. I did a call in order and was told it would be ready at 5:15pm (it was not). It took probably another 15 minutes or so but I wasn't stressing. I will wait for good food. One employee I guess was late for her shift came in loud and cursing. Personally not something I'd do in front of a customer but hey didn't bother me. I guess she felt comfortable.

So I got my food and headed back home.

First up was the Hot Honey Lemon Pepper Wings. Yall these things were pure fire! Seasoned well and the sauce was a banger! I don't often lick my fingers but I was not letting that sauce go to waste. I would legit buy a bottle of that sauce alone. The only down part is I couldn't taste the lemon pepper but I don't even care them wings was too good! 9.8/10

I also got Wings on the Bayou which was just whole fried wings and a sweet and spicy sauce on the side. Aye look them wings were seasoned perfectly and were definitely crunchy and not soggy somebody auntie was back there with the arm fat. I had completely forgot I even had the sauce. I ate them without it lol. 10/10

Then we have the Jerk Chicken Egg Rolls. This was by far my least favorite. The egg rolls were hot and crunchy but the inside fell flat. Bland and very dry. But when I dipped it into the jerk sauce stuff on the side it truly saved it for me. Without the sauce 5/10 with the sauce brought it to a solid 8/10 yes the sauce was that good and carrying it.

The fries were just fries. They had some sort of seasoning but it was bland and couldn't taste whatever it was. I just dipped them in the ranch they gave me with the chicken and moved on. 5/10

Now I had no idea they made their own lemonade blends until I got there. The lady at the counter said at that time they had two flavors so I bought both. The first one was some sort of mango lemondae. I am not a fan of mangos so for me to say this was good means a lot and it gets a 8/10 a mango person would probably give it a 10/10. And the pink one I can't remember what flavor it was idk if it was strawberry or what but it was by far my favorite. Easy 10/10 if they sold this by the gallon I'd definitely buy it!

All in all my experience was great I enjoyed my food and definitely plan to go back and get more wings and that lemondae. I hope to make it to the brunch one day as well. Yall go check this place out for me support this local black owned business they are putting out great food and deserve to be supported.

My husband and I went for the first time (Centerpoint Location) today and I must say 5 Star from customer service,food,experience. The staff was friendly especially AC who made our experience a joy. Definitely will be back for Saturday brunch.

I placed an Uber Eats order that took 90 minutes to be delivered though I cannot blame the restaurant for that I can blame you for giving the driver the wrong persons food and then when I called to follow up I sat on hold for 20 minutes. Just to hang up because no one came back to the phone.

Don’t be greedy if you can’t execute the service correctly focus on the customers in store until you’re able simultaneously do both.

Had a rough experience the first time we went with some burnt fries. I don't expect this happens often and Simone reached out and was quick to make it right. We tried the food truck again and it was amazing. Salmon was cooked and seasoned perfectly, veggies and strawberries full of flavor. Nachos were top tier, awesome seasoning, big chunks of jalapeños. Thoughtful, creative dishes. Definitely recommend it if you're thinking about it.

Food was tasty but a lot of grease and chicken was overcooked. At the end not satisfied had me with an upset stomach.
