What 659+ diners say about St Rest #2 Country Kitchen

“I can’t believe how much food was included in my dinner.”

I can’t believe how much food was included in my dinner! When they say a 1/2 baked chicken, they are not talking about a little hen. The chicken, cabbage and Mac and cheese are seasoned well and fresh. The restaurant is spotless and the customer service is top notch. I didn’t want to go when my dad suggested it, and I’m glad I went. I would’ve missed out on a great meal ⭐️

The Service was OUTSTANDING. From entry to exit, we were treated like Queens. We felt welcome, comfortable and had all we required. The food was tasty and well seasoned. This was our first time here but definitely won't be the last. This restaurant is a wonderful contribution to the neighborhood.

“Let's start with the service, EXCEPTIONAL!!!”

Let's start with the service, EXCEPTIONAL!!!! As soon as we walked in the door, we were greeted with a warm smile and the vibe was screaming, hey family. And that's how we were treated until we walked out the door. Lisa, our new family member was such a delight and treated us with nothing but kindness and love, as she took care of us. I'm very big on service and even if the food wasn't that great, I would come back just for that. However, the food was good. The catfish which is cooked to order was excellent and the dressing...OMG. It was so good, that I ordered another side of it. I also had the sweet potatoes and macaroni and cheese. They were ok but not bad. The atmosphere was very nice with live music playing jazz music. Overall it was a 9 out of 10.
