I'll have to admit, when i went i mainly wanted to go because it was Justin Timberlake, but im glad i went. The first time was very crowded, had to sit outside and there was alot of people at the bar. Didn't realize it was a college football game and they have some kind of deal where you can get cheap drinks i believe. But the food was actually really good, i loved the 'loose ends' and the biscuits and cornbread. My mom had the same thing but with collard greens and thought they were amazing. We actually went back the next day and it was less crowded so we were able to sit inside and the food was actually better the second time. The food also comes out really fast, which i happen to like. Im from Houston, and good BBQ is hard to come by, but this place is definatley worth going to.

From what you said, you did not receive the goods and services you paid for., If you paid with AMEX or Mastercharge, you have a case to request the card company to chArge back the restaurant, and credit you. It's your money, go after it.

Don't waste your time, don't waste your money

I visited the restaurant last night for a friend's 22nd birthday gathering. The place is CRAMPED, the staff inhospitable, the food mediocre, and the music loud. Oh, and i've neglected to mention the place was FREEZING. It remained that way despite our complaints, fortunately I had my winter jacket. At one point during the dinner I approached my waitress and asked that a dessert be sent with a candle for my friends birthday like the table behind us had previously received. Fifteen minutes later a dish washer/bus-man came out and plopped a random dessert on our table -sans candle and birthday greeting. I sent the dessert away and asked for the birthday dessert to be sent out. This time, our waitress came out with another member of the staff and shouted happy birthday (dessert in hand). As she placed it on the table the flame snuffed out (thanks to the vent above us blowing out COLD air) and she -the waitress DIDN'T BOTHER OR OFFER TO RE-LIGHT IT. Directly after the flame expired our waitress uttered "Oops haha pretend".

Surprisingly Satisfied!!!!

A few of my girlfriends and I decided we had to check out Southern Hospitality. Why? because we have a thing for J.T. We weren't expecting much. Just a meal in a place where we knew J.T. had probably been in the not so distant past. But we had a great time and a great meal! Southern Hospitality has a great laid back feel with fantastic tunes. I felt like I was listening to my favorite mix. And the food was good too! Surprisingly good. I know my expectations were low when we went, but Southern Hospitality exceeded them completely.

Great on Fridays for ladies night

I have been here 3 times, every time on a Friday after 10pm where drinks are half off for ladies (extremely cheap, $5 for a frozen drink) and had an amazing night each time Service was not amazing, the female bartenders were pretty rude and some were downright stupid. The crowd was very energetic young (20s) but there were too many mama's boys in my opinion. Other than that a great place, music is VERY loud though.

TERRIBLE

We had the nachos (fair) and the fried pickles to start. When my friend's salads arrived they had shrimp instead of fried chicken. My other friend's mac and cheese tasted like glue. My pulled pork sandwich was mediocre and the fries were terrible. Our waitress gave us a free brownie dessert because of the mix up and it tasted like the non-fat brownies that you would get at a bodega. The food runner took it away before we were finished, which was not our loss. Also the waitress billed us for the shrimp instead of the chicken and told us "just take 2 dollars off the total" when we asked her to change it. If this place didn't have a celebrity name behind it, there would be NO way this place would have lasted more than 2 weeks in the city. And considering I heard the table next to us ask the waitress if she "knew Justin," it's fair to say that's the only reason that anyone dines at this establishment. If you want BBQ, go to Hill Country!

Me and a group of friends tried out souhthern hospitality. First I made reservations a week in advance just to be safe. We were thinking we had to try it for ourselves even after we read the reviews. We arrrived at our reservations time and they sat 8 people in what looked like a table for 4. I personallly got the chicken it was over cooked and brown and looked as if the grease hadnt been changed in years. The biscuits in everyones meal were served cold. We were missing some of the sides, I mean it was one of the worst experience with a celeb restaurant. Everyone please take into consideration the reviews, I wish I did....

I had so much fun at Justins restaurant a couple of weekends ago. They played great music, there was great food, and amazing drinks. The service was perfect also. The crowd was good looking and high energy. I will absolutely be back at Southern Hospitality.

Horrible!

I work on the area and my colleagues and I decided to give this restaurant a try since itÂ’s owned by Justin's and all but what a disaster! This was the worse disappointment in the world. First of all we had to go and pick it up since they do not deliver. When I arrived there they were trying to charge me for an item that had been taking out of the order. Second, I failed to read the small print on the menu and they charged me 10.00 dollars to add 6 shrimp to a salad. We had about 6 different orders and not one of them tasted good! The beans on the BBQ Nachos were horrendous, tasted like they were 50 years old and straight out of a can that you can buy in the 99 Cents store! 12.00 for dry wings, plain! The "Shrimp Salad" tasted discussing too, how do you mess up a salad? The cheese tasted very old and the lettuce looked even older...In all this was a bad experience which will never happen again!

Decent Place

This is a decent relatively inexpensive barbecue restaurant on the Upper East Side. I went last night (Monday night), the place wasnÂ’t crowded, the food was good, and the wait staff was casual, polite and attentive. The place does not have many tables however, and gets packed on the weekends; so for people visiting NY with their younger JT fans, might I suggest going on a week night when there isnÂ’t much going on? You will have a better overall experience and the large bar area will be a lot tamer. If you are visiting from the south and have a discerning palette when it comes to barbecue, logically this might not be the place for you. If you live in NY, and want to enjoy some macaroni and cheese and messy ribs, this place will cut it.
