    ✨ One of our favorite spots in Midlothian and quite possibly the best steakhouse in Richmond! 🥩🍷 The steaks are cooked to perfection, the sauces are divine, and the LOBSTER BISQUE—absolutely exquisite. Every bite is a testament to fresh, local ingredients and culinary excellence. If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience, this is the place. Highly recommend! 🌟

    Food seasoned to perfection! Ambience is fantastic. Please please notate the “Gluten Free” options clearly on the menu and train your servers and cooks on this topic. For Celiac disease persons , Gluten Free is A Must Have, not a fad. Consider an option to fry the fish, seafood or chicken in a separate dedicated fryer using Gluten Free FLOUR “ with advance notification of this special request 🤔. This would elevate Southern Kitchen to the top of restaurant choices.

    Everything about our experience at MCK was outstanding! The service was impeccable, and the drinks delicious. The food was top notch. We had the shrimp and pork dumplings and tartare to start. So good! My hubby had the chicken, my daughter the butter poached filet (to die for) and I had the salmon. The sides were so delicious, and the chef recommended wine pairing was spot on. It was 10 out of 10 — we will be back again!
