Southern Bella's Kitchen in Florida

"Their food taste like a warm summer evening on your grandma’s front porch — slow, sweet, and full of comfort. Butter beans soft and creamy, like they’ve been kissed by butter and love in equal measure. When you take that first bite of your meal it’s like being back in Grandma’s kitchen, where the windows are fogged up from the steam of a pot with collards that’s been simmering all afternoon. Although these didn't simmer quite long enough but still enough you don't want to wait for them to finish cooking before diving into them You can almost hear the screen door creak, smell the cornbread in the oven, and feel the cool breeze carrying the scent of magnolias. The food tastes like home, like tradition, like someone’s been stirring the pot with care and a whole lot of soul. Each bite of chicken was a celebration — crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and bursting with layers of flavor that taste like history, tradition, and Sunday supper all rolled into one. The seasoning don’t just sit on the skin — it sinks in, like it was whispered down through generations. You don’t just eat this chicken — you feel it. It’s the kind that fills the kitchen with a smell so powerful, it’ll bring folks outta rooms they weren’t even supposed to be in. It’s a dish that says, “we don’t measure, we feel the spice,” and baby, we felt it all the way down to the bone."

"Ordered on DoorDash after that went to see what’s going on cause food was delicious fresh cook to order soup fool ready to go"

"The food was pretty good, very seasoned. I got the smothered chicken, man n cheese alongside collard greens. The smothered chicken was a bit dry, on the flip side the Mac n cheese was to die for. I’d highly recommend, and would try a different meat next time!"

"I called multiple times making sure I understood their menu and each time she was patient and professional! Food was AMAZING. This is my 3rd time eating here and I just had to leave a review. I will be ordering my own personal pan of your Corn Bread Dressing"

"Good isn't enough, this place is great! Wow, wow, wow. This is the best soul/Southern food I've had in Tallahassee. The oxtails were falling apart tender and flavorful, the collards were good (if slightly undercooked), the mac and cheese was the best I've had and actually baked, the limas were buttery and tender. The cornbread was the perfect accompaniment to the food. The desserts were to die for. To top it off, the service was A+. My mom and I will definitely be returning."

"This food was soo good. The greens could have been cooked a little longer but nothing the microwave wouldn't help with. And the mango pineapple Lemonade was delicious will definitely be seeing me again!"

"This place is a hidden gem for soul food! I love oxtails and they didn’t disappoint! It’s cooked like you would expect your grandma to make! Definitely recommend! 10/10 ⭐"

"I went there today after church, and they were swamped. I got the turkey wings, macaroni, collard greens, they definitely put their whole foot in the collards, lima beans, stuffing, and ribs. Everything was delicious!!! My parents loved it. I took a picture of my food. I don't use microwaves. I had to heat it up in the air fryer . Thank you, ladies; I appreciate you all!"
