Terri B. ★★★★★ : The owner of this place should just close down because why will you be running a restaurant and a bar without light during the day and your customers will be sweating like Christmas goats, they should just close down, customers service 0/10 the workers don’t even care, the place is always hot always hot like very very hot and they won’t even bother to put on the Generator, the owner of this place really need to take it serious or rather close down in peace…
O B ★★★★★ : Road access is not great, ambience and internal atmosphere is passable and food , the reason for a visit, has good opportunities to be improved. The presentation is not exciting, the place can do with some cooling and lighting can make the food on display look more appealing.

Abati M. ★★★★★ : I loved every ounce of the food and the service was top notch! I went there with my family and we were served drinks first, then waited for our food. It took a while but it was worth it.
Idowu M. ★★★★★ : had an absolutely wonderful experience at South Kitchen and Lounge! From the moment I walked in, everything about the place stood out — the cozy atmosphere, the neat setup, the delicious food, and the attentive service. It’s one of those places that makes you feel welcome right away. But what truly made my visit exceptional was Mrs. Modupe, one of the supervisors. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect — from checking on our table with genuine warmth to making sure we were satisfied with every detail. Her professionalism, kindness, and calm energy added such a personal touch to the whole experience. It’s rare to meet someone who takes their job so seriously yet makes it feel so effortless. Big shout-out to Mrs. Modupe for her outstanding service! She’s truly a gem and a great representation of what excellent customer service should be. Because of her, I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending South Kitchen & Lounge to friends and family.

Moyinoluwa D. ★★★★★ : The setup is nice, good for group hangs. The wait time was long and they didn't have what I initially asked for. The cow tail peppersoup I had was good. A live band was playing on the day I went and the person I went with liked the idea. Parking wasn't so much of an issue; parked by the road side. The prices are reasonable.
Olalekan A. ★★★★★ : Was at the place to make enquiries about hosting about 30-40 friends at the diner and the staff who received me was very rude and lacks courtesy. The diner needs to train its staff well on how to attend to customers and respond to their enquiries. I had to leave in order not to loose my temper with the manner of professionalism of the rude attendant.

Kemi A. ★★★★★ : I enjoyed the gaming experience with my kids. So fun to be there. Nice place
Ajine C. ★★★★★ : Stepping into Super Foods Abeokuta was a breath of fresh air! From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the clean and vibrant atmosphere. The space feels modern and welcoming, a perfect setting to enjoy a healthy and delicious meal. The staff were fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely happy to help me navigate their impressive menu. I ordered one of their smoothie bowls, and it was a work of art. The presentation was beautiful, and you could tell every ingredient was fresh and thoughtfully chosen. The açaí base was perfectly blended and topped with a generous amount of fresh fruit, granola, and a drizzle of honey. It tasted as good as it looked—a refreshing and nutrient-packed treat that left me feeling energized and satisfied. What I love most about Super Foods is their commitment to quality and health. It's so refreshing to find a place that offers wholesome, guilt-free options without compromising on flavor. They have a great selection of juices, smoothies, and other healthy bites, making it the ideal spot for a quick snack or a full meal. If you’re in Abeokuta and looking for a healthy and delicious food experience, I highly recommend this place. Super Foods is more than just a restaurant; it's a wellness destination. I'm already planning my next visit to try out their other offerings!
