The food was delicious, the staff/owners were so nice. The portions were good. Definitely give them a try next time you are around

ORIGIN: Khalliah Murphy (aka Lady K) enjoyed cooking since she was a little girl. After completing culinary school, Murphy started a Yonkers-based catering company, and later, in 2016, moved north to open a brick and mortar cafe -- Lady K's Southern Comfort. LOCATION: Lady K's Southern Comfort is located in a small strip mall along Violet Avenue/Route 9G. Ample parking is available. CONCEPT: Lady K's offers quintessential southern comfort food, such as rice with pigeon peas and slow cooked savory collard greens, however tastes of other culinary heritages, such as empanadas, are sprinkled across the menu. Lady K's primarily offers dishes that represent home cooked southern meals -- on site, as take out, or custom catered events. SERVICE: One thing that stands out about Lady K's Southern Comfort is the homey feeling. This extends to the service. During my weekend afternoon visit Khalliah and Shawn Murphy's daughter and son were eagerly helping (Little K and Littlest K). Although customers place their orders at the counter, I was still asked whether I liked what I had chosen. My response brought a proud smile to Little K's face! EXPERIENCE: Plates are available in three sizes, with a protein and two choice of sides. I experienced the small fried chicken with collard greens and macaroni and cheese on the side. Khalliah's family were known for their fried chicken recipe in their Bronx neighborhood, so it comes as no surprise that the chicken was expertly executed -- crisp, non-greasy exterior encasing juicy, moist interior at every bite. Complementing this was the collard greens, in which multiple flavors were married and had just the right amount of vinegary flavor. Next time I will ask for double sides of collard greens -- it's that outstanding! While multiple tables are set up for dining, Lady K's is currently primarily set up for take out. Although photos on Yelp suggest there was plated service in the past, all food is now served in compartmented styrofoam take out containers. This was my only disappointment as I feel household plates and utensils would reflect the homey dishes for those who are looking to dine in. TIPS: Check Lady K's Facebook profile for rare temporary changes in daily hours. Kool Aid is one of the beverage options. I have never seen that before in a menu and I think it's available adds to the homey aspect of the meals prepared at offered at Lady K's Southern Comfort. Kool Aid was a staple in homes in my neighborhood, and the cheerfully colored packets of flavoring powders are rarely found in grocery stores today.

Look im new to this yelp stuff. Yo she is the cook an the owner plus she's really nice. Yooo look I called like "yall have yams" she said "yes we make yams". I was there lighting speed. I let her choose as long as I got some yams. That food she cooking oh man. It's amazing. Im going today.

The food is absolutely amazing! I ate pork chops, collard greens, macaroni and cheese plus cornbread tonight and every bite was delicious. More people need to check this Hyde Park gem out!

We had Lady K's for the first time recently and I must say that we enjoyed everything we ordered! The chicken was fried to perfection, I love that the skin is coated and fried separately so it's perfectly crispy! The baked Mac was cheesy and flavorful and not overly salty as can happen with numerous cheeses. The spicy cabbage had just enough heat but so much flavor can't wait to try that with some oxtails! Can't forget the yams! We don't live close by but it was totally worth the drive. We'll be returning again very soon! Thank you Lady K and your amazing young King helping you!

We came here this afternoon shortly after opening at 1pm. We are so glad that we dropped in. It's family run and we really like this, too. Everyone is very sweet. No frills but a lovely place to relax, enjoy a meal or drop in for some take out. It can be difficult to find good, authentic southern food. Next time I'd love to try the catfish. We were so torn. We had fried chicken, collards, macaroni and cheese, corn bread, cabbage and herb chicken. The collards here are amazing!! The fried chicken was super crispy and had a perfect crunch and the herb chicken was well marinated and had tons of flavor. The only thing is I wished my fried chicken was a little drained a bit - a lot of grease was soaking out. With that said, it was juicy and lovely. It is a personal preference on my end. The day that we went they also had a pork chop special and I'm sure this was absolutely delicious. Parking right outside as well. thank you! We will certainly return when we are in the area again for another delicious meal.

The macaroni and cheese was sooooo so good!!! The banana pudding makes you want to hide in the closet so nobody knows your eating it and asks for a bite

Some of the best fried chicken ever, great sides too. We shared the large plate of dark meat fried chicken which had two thighs and two drumsticks. Succulent, tasty, crisp outside. The excellent sides were collard greens and mac & cheese. We ordered an extra side of spicy cabbage that was also good. Sweet tea was perfect. All told, under $20. We ate in. The dining area is not fancy but it's comfortable, and the food was brought out on real plates.Their website menu isn't complete. I'm posting a picture of their menu board.

A little bit of a hole in the wall, but well worth the visit. Fried chicken was hot and CRISPY. So very delicious, but salty.. oh so salty. The woman running the kitchen in the back was talking loudly on the phone the whole time and had infectious laughter. I actually found it really comfortable and it felt like being at a kitchen in someone's house with a talkative, welcoming mother in the kitchen.
