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

Fantastic food! Excellent service. I had the fried chicken, cabbage, cornbread and Candi Yams. Not sure if the air condition was running. I sat down and ate my food and they had plenty of fans so I wasn't hot. The selling point of this place is definitely the food and service.

All of the customers were greeted with a Chilly Bear. This instantly brought back great childhood memories. An amazing southern restaurant for everyone. Come if you want a great soul food dinner. The ones that your mother, grandmother or favorite aunt use to make. Always seasoned to perfection. There is nothing like a family business where they love to do what they do. Serve the people with a warm heartfelt hospitality.
