Kelsey Kim's Southern Cafe

Eating was amazing! during a visit in the city for a few days, was under a list of black-famous restaurants in the opposite. I had the pulled pork sandwich with Mac cheese; normally I am picky about my Mac cheese, but that was right up with the recipe of my mama: can not recommend enough!

Me and my wife visit Atlantic City at least once a year. When we do, we try to check out some of the local restaurants to add to our list of favorites. Kelsey and Kim's Southern Café shot to the top of the list this year. I am a chef by trade and southern soul food is one of my specialties. Kelsey and Kim have one of the best Macaroni and Cheese recipes I have ever tasted outside of my own kitchen. I had that Mac-n-Cheese and cabbage along with my pork ribs and my wife had a pulled pork sandwich with candied yams and collard greens. Every single Item was 5-star, and the value was absolutely there based on the portions, even with the 50 dollar price tag. We added two desserts for 10 more bucks and they basically gave us two half cakes...both delicious. The portions were so big we ate the rest for lunch the next day. We felt the value was so great we returned the next night. The second night we tried the catfish nuggets as an appetizer and they were absolutely fantastic...they serve them with this excellent house dipping sauce. My wife had the pork chop and waffles this time around I I had the smothered pork chops with broccoli and more of that Mac-n-Cheese. Once again everything was 5-star and we couldn't come near finishing it all until the next day. Kelsey and Kim's is officially our favorite Atlantic City restaurant and we will be returning whenever we visit.

The servers was Great! The food was filling and delicious. Just one thing I wish they could've did better on is dessert. They had nothing for dessert. I was expecting sweet potato pie, pinapple coconut cake, peach cobbler, etc. But nothing sweet was there and that was disappointing. Overall the food was Outstanding. I would recommend anyone to go there.

Food was great best take out collards I've ever had. I would certainly go back!

Don’t let this review justify the experience you may possibly have. Only two negative things I have to say but the one major and only positive aspect to this spot is the food is outstanding. First star lost was the attitude received. I went out of my way taking an Uber to and from Harrahs to try something different than the typical eateries surrounding each Casino. The attitude isn’t necessary that’s for sure because I’d would’ve came back with every AC visit. Second Star was the wait time for take out since they don’t deliver and aren’t allowing dine in. Waited literally an hour after ordering and it wasn’t packed. If you’re to go here it’s probably best to call in advance and just go there 30 mins later to cut the wait time. Like I said don’t let my review justify you deciding to go here or not because both me and fiancée agree the food is outstanding. Very tasty and filling.
