Bertha's Kitchen

I’ve been enjoying Bertha’s since I was a young kid holding on to my Grandma’s pocket. This southern comfort food is top tier, always fresh, never a miss, and if you want fush you better speak up. I wish I had pics of the food to share, but I only pause long enough to pray before I dig in lol. My personal favorite is the okra soup with meat, and a nice square of cornbread. G’on down there to get a complementary Chilly Bear and a hearty meal.

This is a hidden gem in North Charleston. I got the crab balls with the seafood rice it came with cornbread. I wish the person behind the counter would have told me that the platter was the same price. But I guess it was fine that I didn’t get the platter because my mom and aunt said the vegetables were out of can. I liked how we given a mini cup of frozen koolaid because of the heat. That was nice. The crab balls, seafood rice and cornbread were good. The prices are good.

Bertha’s Kitchen is the definition of true Southern cooking done right. This is the kind of place where the food tells a story—flavors passed down through generations, cooked with patience, pride, and a whole lot of soul. Every dish tastes like home: rich, comforting, deeply seasoned, and unapologetically authentic. There’s no pretense here—just honest Southern food made the way it’s always been made, the way it should be made. The service matches the food: warm, welcoming, and genuine. Eating at Bertha’s Kitchen feels less like dining out and more like being invited into someone’s home. It’s not just a meal, it’s a cultural experience—and one you don’t forget. A true Southern treasure

I was down in Charleston for the first time for a visit from North Carolina and Bertha's was recommended by a family member from there. I loved my shrimp. It was cooked just right and those shrimp were nothing small either. My food was hot and very full filling. will come back the next time I am in town.

Best value plate in Charleston! I got the special for the day, which was baked chicken with lima beans over rice and it took me back to my childhood! I also got a fish sandwich and did not expect three fillets to be laid between two slices of bread. Everything was seasoned to perfection, and the service was over the top! Everybody working hard, it's lovely to see this business thrive
