Reviews for SugarJam The Southern Kitchen in Scottsdale, AZ
Fantastic brunch place! Highly recommend making a reservation. Cool atmosphere and friendly service. The food is AMAZING. Highly... recommend the Parisian french toast. The flapjack pancakes and chicken tenders were also good, but the pancakes are so sweetthey don’t need any syrup. Read more
First time eating here. Food was great! Me and my wife didn’t add any condiment to anything! That’s a reach for us. I had... salmon croquettes with grits and three over easy eggs. Added a side of hot links. We have made a reservation for next week!????????????????????????????????????????? They have a store inside as well.. Follow up: we took the kids the next day. Theyloved it. Couldn’t eat all there food! That’s rare for them as well. ????????????? Read more
Highly recommend a reservation as it fills up fast and waits for non reservations can exceed 2 hours Parking is limited so also... recommend showing up early. Summary: Highly recommend! Boisterous atmosphere, Very friendly wait staff, Very generousportions. Menu is relatively simple, you can pretty much order anything on the menu and it would be done well. We hade shrimpand grits, brisket and biscuits, crab cakes, Salmon croquettes, French toast and I had a breakfast sandwich. Everyone ravedabout their food and one of the owners showed up to ask how we were doing. Read more
I met a friend here this morning, a Thursday, for brunch. The menu is tantalizing, for sure, and I had a hard time deciding. I... finally settled on the shrimp and crab with grits and the first drink on the specialty menu, the one with the ginger liqueur. Myfriend ordered catfish and grits and the peachy drink. The drinks were SWEET- good but too sweet for our taste. The peach drinkwas deliciously pea hy. The ginger one could have been more gingery and lots of ice might cut the sweetness but it's servedneat. Our plates were pretty to look at. The grits were creamy but we both thought they'd be even better with white cheddar.The shrimp was amazing, cooked perfectly, and the catfish was also delicious and cooked well- crisp and perfectly seasoned. Thegravy looked incredible and rich with its deep brown color but was a bit lacking in flavor, a little bland,surprisingly. We bothadded hot sauce which helped. The place was really quiet, although we hear it's practically a club during Sunday brunch. Theyplayed 90s and 2000s hip hop, which we enjoyed. The service was great. Pearl helped us and she was friendly, helpful, andattentive without being bothersome. I'd go back as there are many other menu items I'd like to try and it's such a pretty, funplace, but I'm hoping for 5-star food in the future. Read more
I've been looking for a place that served Southern dishes, as the one closest to me shut down. First off what a surprise walking... in. I wasn't sure what to expect but the vibe is insane. The live DJ puts you in club mode and everyone is very well dressedlike they're going out for the night, but it's breakfast. We ordered the chicken wings, Catfish and Grits, and Shrimp andGrits. Everything was seasoned deliciously and breaded perfectly. This list of cocktails was just as good. I ordered a Coco PinaMargarita. I don't even like coconut but loved this drink. I will say if you do not have a reservation you will be waiting. Wearrived around 12 to 12:30 and the wait was an hour and a half. It gave us some time to drive around a bit but I was starving bythe time we were seated. So definitely make a reservation. Even without a reservation, the wait is worth it. I will also say,if you are trying to hear the person or party with you, try to get a table outside. The DJ doesn't slow down with the club hitsat all, so it's hard to hear and talking. I 10 out of 10 recommend going to Sugar Jam. Read more
Great atmosphere, great music, and most importantly great food! Made reservations and was seated rather quickly. I ordered the... fried chicken and waffles and My husband ordered the French toast sandwich. Both were cooked to perfection! Highly recommendthis place! #supportblackowned Read more
Very first time here. It's a Sunday & the ambiance is just right! Great Scottsdale location with ample parking. DJ played good... music, lots of R&B, a little Jazz & even some Gospel. Very nice wall art, eclectic decor, friendly staff and an all around greatvibe. Indoor & outdoor seating. Our waitress Lyndsey got our order out in decent time. My catfish & grits was so good! And themimosas hit the spot! Delicious waffle, wings & eggs! There's a table time limit during weekend brunch, but I get why. You'd sitthere half the day if there wasn't a limit. You just do not wanna leave cos you're enjoying the vibe! Prices were reasonable. Myonly complaint was the music made it hard to talk (& we had to yell at my waitress so she could hear us). Maybe the DJ couldadjust the volume every now & then, as guests get seated so they don't have to yell orders at their waitress. My daughtercasually mentioned to our waitress that we were celebrating my birthday. To my total surprise near the end of my meal ourwaitress Lyndsey brought out a pecan pie, nicely boxed up with a handwritten note wishing me a happy birthday! And at no charge!???? This personal sized pie didn't just look good, it was absolutely delicious! If you go here ask for Lyndsey! Sugar Jam isnow definitely on my list of soul food spots to revisit! Definitely a memorable experience, worth mentioning! Read more
Amazing food! We went for brunch and shared the chicken wings - super flavorful and spiced! I had the pulled pork hash, and it... was incredible. The others had the French toast and fried chicken and the pancakes and fried chicken. Everything was seasonedreally well and the portions were large. Their mini homemade pies looked incredible too - I wish I had taken one home with me. The staff was very friendly, and the restaurant has a great ambiance. This place is definitely a hidden gem for breakfast andlunch! Read more
