A Taste of New Orleans in the Bay Area: Southern Comfort Kitchen



A Cozy Creole Retreat


Tucked away in the heart of the Bay Area, Southern Comfort Kitchen is not just a restaurant, it’s a warm, inviting escape into the soulful streets of New Orleans. With two cozy locations, one in Pleasant Hill and another in Castro Valley, Southern Comfort Kitchen brings authentic Creole cuisine to multiple corners of the Bay. The intimate setting in both locations makes you feel at home. The walls hum with soft jazz music, and the ambiance is designed for comfort, beckoning you to relax and soak up the rich history and culture of Creole cuisine.





The Friendliest Staff in Town


Yes, I said it. Good customer service is King! From the moment you step through the doors, you’re greeted with genuine warmth. The staff at Southern Comfort Kitchen embody the essence of Southern hospitality. Kind, upbeat, and knowledgeable, they make every guest feel like part of the family. It’s not just service with a smile it’s service with a story. Every recommendation is accompanied by a delightful tidbit regarding the food and its origins.





Handcrafted Dishes That are Mind blowing


If you’re a fan of authentic Creole cooking, Southern Comfort Kitchen is where you’ll find culinary bliss. Every dish, down to the sauces, is handmade and packed with flavor. Creole cuisine is known for its bold use of spices and a harmonious blend of French, Spanish, and African influences. The food here is an experience unto itself: savory, spicy, and utterly addictive.


The Hush Puppies are a must-try! Savory, slightly sweet and cooked to perfection. And let’s not forget the seafood platter, featuring succulent shrimp, beautiful fried catfish, flavorful soft-shell crab and fries paired with the best sauces in town. You’ll find yourself wanting to try everything on the menu, and with each bite, you’ll taste the love poured into these family recipes which were passed down through generations. This is food that you feel in your soul.





Meet Jason: A Personality as Vibrant as the Food


Jason, one of the owners, is as much a part of the experience as the food itself. His vibrant personality fills the room, making you feel welcome and ensuring you’re having the best time possible. Jason’s passion for Creole cooking shines through in every dish, and his enthusiasm for sharing Creole culture is infectious. You can tell he’s proud of the restaurant, and rightfully so it’s a slice of New Orleans that the Bay Area didn’t know it needed. Make sure you stop by!
