PDK Southern Kitchen & Pantry

We stopped in here for lunch on our road-trip and found the place to be adorable and very clean. We had the chicken salad sandwich and the hand-cut grilled salmon salad. Both were really fresh and delicious. Staff were friendly & helpful for first-time ordering. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious meal.

It just wasn't good. The restaurant looked good when we walked in so we walked to the front and ordered. When we walked back to the seating area we couldn't find a table that wasn't dirty to very dirty. When we brought this to the team member who took our order she apologized but no one came out to get a table ready for us. We waited for a few minutes then just found the least dirty table we could find and sat down. A few minutes later she came out and started cleaning tables. The food came and my Guacamole burger I ordered had no guacamole on it. I let someone know and she went to the back and got someone who we think was a manager and he asked if anything was wrong. I told him do he went and got a side container of very cold like it was barely defrosted. Anyway I'm sure the burger would have been better had it came out right in the first place. Neither of us have ever seen anything like the dining room. When we sat down we even noticed more dirty tables and the floor under the tables were strewn with trash. It looked like the restaurant is understaffed to the point if neglect.

Guess what?! PDK has the best catfish and banana pudding ever!. I visited last summer for lunch while in town and recall the catfish was well seasoned and prepared to perfection, hot and ready, packed with flavor and not "oily" whatsoever. It was quite filling, and love at first bite. No other restaurant compares when it comes to the catfish, and I am definitely returning on my next trip to Nashville. If in consideration, definitely give it a try. The banana pudding was amazing, not too sweet and a classic southern. Smooth and delicious, definitely a favorite.

Tried this place for the first time and overall it was good. The service was quick and very friendly. Had the PDK Burger and chicken/waffles. Burger was delicious but the pickles were too sweet for my liking, other than that super good. The chicken tenders were very delicious and partner well with the waffles. Also the banana pudding was wonderful! Would recommend this establishment.
