It's always great when you get to meet and see the chef/owner of the restaurant in process of creating their edible craft. I'm usually not a fan of southern cooking because I've had to much of it either lack luster in flavor or too smothered in salt and/or sauces to taste anything but condiment. You can taste the soul in Chef Kenny's food and now I can too appreciate southern soul food. Every spice and flavor delicately well balanced and the swine perfectly moist! Highly recommend the baked beans, corn bread and biscuits, ba... read more
We absolutely loved GUK! The BBQ platter was a big hit with my family of 5, as well as the drop biscuits, shrimp & grits, mac-n-cheese, strawberry/watermelon/mint salad, strawberry shortcake, bourbon pecan pie.......it was pretty much all loved and devoured! We will definitely be back!
The BBQ sampler, shrimp and grits, chicken and dumplings, collard green and pecan pie! HEAVEN!!!
Best jerk chicken I've ever had in my area!!! Watched him on top chef and he's just a real southern gentleman. Joe and Julie will be back to try his shrimp and grits!
This was the first place we stopped once we got to Amelia island. It was better than my expectations! The bbq was so delicious and I loved the bbq sauce bar. The pickles were the best pickles I've ever had, wish they were sold near Nashville. Also got to meet the celebrity chef and he was so nice! My favorite place!
We could not have found a better place to eat lunch today! It was on point! The food is fantastic!!!!!! Thank you Michelle for your hospitality and thank you Chef Kenny for taking time out to greet my colleagues and I!
Last night Gilbert's Underground Kitchen catered a dinner party at our home for 35 people. Everyone loved the food. We had blackened Mahi with a fruit salsa, jerk chicken and brisket with blue cheese. The Brunswick stew and Hoppin John (field peas and rice) Mac and cheese and collard greens. ( the collard greens were the first thing gone- people that didn't normally like them said they were great and not prepared same as they had eaten prior). Desserts were yummy too, KG's banana pudding (not traditional but phenomenal) and ... read more
We were referred to this restaurant by a family member. Just by the looks of the outside of the building, we were impressed. The atmosphere is super laid back with a modern-southern twist. Drinks were served in traditional ball jars. The food was PHENOMENAL! I ordered shrimp and grits while my husband ordered bbq alligator sliders. His sliders came with a couple little pickle slices on the plate (which his "plate" was a charred slab of wood). These pickles were so good, I bought a small container of them!! I hate we are only... read more
Gilbert's Underground Kitchen hosted our rehearsal lunch and did the catering for our wedding. The food was amazing and our guests loved it! My dad said it was a 10 out of 10, one family member who doesn't even like Brussels sprouts LOVED Chef Kenny's Brussel sprout slaw, and the desserts were just as delicious as the main meal. So much craft and attention to detail! It's obvious the care and love Chef Kenny and his staff put into the food. The service was also wonderful. Michelle was a pleasure to work with, and we were abl... read more
