A big congratulations to Kim and Bill on their recent marriage!! 💍❤️

After many wonderful years together, they finally made it official, and we couldn't be happier for them!

Kim has been part of our Southern Kitchen family for 10 years, and we're grateful every day for her hard work, kindness, and dedication. As a proud member of the Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe, she brings a strong sense of community and heart to everything she does.

Please join us in wishing Kim and Bill a lifetime of love, happiness, and new adventures together. Congratulations to the happy couple! 🎉

🍗 A Quick Parking Update 🍗

The street parking in front of Southern Kitchen is now a bike lane, so if you're driving in, don't panic when your favorite spot isn't there anymore!

We still have a limited number of FREE spaces in the shared lot with Bucky's and Jiffy Lube. You may also find street parking nearby, though it will mean a short walk.

Need another option? There's a paid parking lot (not affiliated with us) next door at 1712 6th Ave that is currently around $3 for 2 hours.

You can also reach us by:
🚶 Walking
🚲 Biking
🚊 The Link
🚌 Bus

No matter how you get here, we're grateful for your support and look forward to serving up your Southern Kitchen favorites. Thank you for sticking with us through the changes! ❤️

❤️💚🖤 Happy Juneteenth ❤️💚🖤

Today we honor Juneteenth, a day that commemorates June 19, 1865, when news of freedom finally reached enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.

Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, resilience, culture, family, and community. It is a time to reflect on our shared history and recognize the contributions of Black Americans who have helped shape our nation.

As a Black woman-owned family business, we are grateful for the opportunity to serve our community and continue a tradition of hospitality, good food, and togetherness.

We're open today and would love to welcome you in for a meal with family and friends.

Happy Juneteenth from all of us at Southern Kitchen! ❤️💚🖤

📍 Open Regular Hours Today 11AM-8PM

We wanted to give everyone a quick update.

To finish up a few final projects and make sure everything is just right, Southern Kitchen will be closed on Tuesday, June 2.

We know we've had a few unexpected delays, and we truly appreciate your patience and support while we put the finishing touches on.

We'll be back open and ready to serve you on Wednesday, June 3. ❤️

Thank you for sticking with us. We can't wait to welcome you back for some good Southern cooking!
