About This Place

Nestled at 3428 3rd Ave, this soulful restaurant offers an inviting atmosphere where comfort and upscale dining intersect, creating a space that feels both intimate and exciting.

From the moment you step inside, the aroma of expertly seasoned fried chicken and slow-simmered gumbo envelopes you, promising a meal that transcends ordinary dining.

Their brunch menu shines with Southern classics like fluffy Biscuits & Gravy, fully loaded Veggie Omelets packed with collard greens and cheese, and the ever-popular Chicken & Waffles — crispy, juicy chicken perfectly balanced with soft, sweet waffles.

The restaurant’s warm and spirited atmosphere is amplified by touches of gospel music that ripple through the space, nurturing a feeling of community and soulful connection.

    I'm not going to lie. I was skeptical about going to a soul food place because lately a lot of places I've gone to have no seasoning but Fixin Soul Kitchen was so good. Our waitress (I apologize i can't remember her name) was wonderful. She gave great recommendations on good and drinks and let me tell you her choices were great. We also.got a chance to meet the owner and he was great. I'm looking forward to the next time I'm in Sacramento so I can come back here again.

    The food is absolutely delicious highly recommend coming if even so much as a tiny bit curious. Food is full of flavor and never disappoints me and my husband have come multiple times! Gumbo and oxtails are absolute favorites. Staff is very welcoming and nice service is fast!

    Soul food is a tricky thing to make in big batches, I was beyond surprised when I tasted the food it was perfect. I had a craving for fried chicken and red beans and rice. Went on a Sunday night they were blasting gospel music. It threw me off because I'm not used to that going into a restaurant. Although it is a pretty upscale restaurant. It had a comfort to it. I felt like I was at a family members house waiting for the food to be ready. Foods eaten included fried chicken, red beans and rice, candied yams, collard greens, mac and cheese, chicken and waffles, and red and blue Kool aid. Everything was perfectly seasoned and the Kool aid was perfect. Everything tasted like what my mom would make I will for sure be back so glad I tried this restaurant finally.

    Had to check out the highly rated and reviewed Fixings Soul Kitchen in Sacramento, CA. We made a reservation so there wasn't a wait. I overheard that the wait time was 25 minutes not bad for a Saturday around lunch time. We ordered the deep fried eggs, Gumbo added shrimp, chicken and waffle, fried fish with corn fritters, charred okra (no bacon) and macaroni and cheese. The deep fried eggs were 1 out of 5. The filling was the only problem and what led to the dislike from everyone at the table The gumbo was also a miss. The dish was not gumbo. The roux tasted like and had the texture of gravy. The dish was chicken, sausage, and shrimp with gravy over rice. Tasted good but is not gumbo. As a gumbo rated a 1 out of 5. As meat served with gravy over rice rated a 4 out of 5. The chicken was fried and seasoned well. The waffle with grape butter had a great taste. The waffle was good solo as well as with the chicken. The fried fish was good and seasoned well. The charred okra was good minus the larger pieces that were too tough to chew entirely. The macaroni cheese wasn't cheesy but had a fairly good taste and was seasoned well. The corn fritters were okay not a lot of flavor but cooked well. The lemonade was super sweet. The place was packed and busy with good service. Not overly friendly but consistent. Would return and try some different food or menu items.

    Wife wanted to come here for a long time. We finally did and it was a hit. We made a reservation that morning. I’m glad we did as there was line when we showed up. No waiting. We missed going to South in downtown Sac. This is an excellent substitute. Loved the authentic Southern food - from the main dishes - gumbo and fried chicken - to the sides - fried catfish and corn bread. Yum!

    Absolutely loved this place!! The food, the ambiance and the service were A-1!! Those deep fried deviled eggs were so yummy! The prices were reasonable for the amount of food you get. Nice size portions. The wait staff were helpful and friendly. The oxtails were tender and flavorful. The greens were yummy as well. Can’t wait to go to this place again!!

    Had a nice chill morning brunch here this morning. Such a great vibe after a long festival weekend. Staff is chill and friendly. Place is very large with a lot of seating options. Very friendly atmosphere ended up making small talk with a few other diners which is a very rare experience nowadays.

    This place is awesome!! The food was absolutely delicious. They have this butter that's infused with grape jelly. Omg, it's so good. The service was exquisite. Kim was our Server, and she was absolutely fantastic!! We chose to sit outside because it was a beautiful day. Overall it was a pleasant dining experience.
