They don't call it 'comfort food' for nothing. At It's All Good Southern Kitchen, we’ve spent 10 years perfecting the recipes your grandma used to make. We are Burlington's go-to spot for authentic Southern flavors like Mama's Meat Loaf, Beef Tips n' Rice, and Oven Roasted Turkey n' Dressing plus comfort food sides like homemade mashed potatoes and gravy, hand-cut collard greens, and broccoli casserole made from fresh cut broccoli.
Don't just take our word for it though, the town agrees. Over the years, we've been awarded:

BURLINGTON DESSERTS
The widest variety of grab-and-go sweets in Burlington
This is what Southern is meant to be: like going back to Grandma's at the holidays or for Sunday dinner. Our difference is "made, not defrosted". All of our food is hand-prepared: potatoes are peeled, squash is cut, and collards chopped by hand. We do it the hard way because it's the right way. But, that doesn't mean expensive - our meals start at just $5.99 for lunch. Scroll to see a few of the options we have and what real people are saying about those meals in reviews. Like what you see?

BURLINGTON DESSERTS DINING FAQ
1. Do you offer dessert catering for office parties? Yes! We offer dessert bars, bulk pans of pudding, and whole cakes for events of all sizes in Burlington, Elon, and Gibsonville. It’s a delicious and affordable alternative to traditional wedding cakes.
2. How long does your homemade cake stay fresh? Because we bake with real butter and no artificial preservatives, our cakes are best enjoyed within 3-4 days. We recommend keeping them covered on your counter or in the fridge to maintain that perfect moist texture.
3. Can I buy individual slices of cake or cheesecake? Absolutely. Our "Grab-and-Go" counter features generous slices of our daily cakes (like Chocolate, Red Velvet, and Carrot) and our popular Cookie Butter Cheesecake. It’s the perfect way to treat yourself without buying a whole cake.
4. Do I need to pre-order whole cakes and desserts? Not always! We usually have some extra stock of our Banana Pudding, Peanut Butter Pie, Cookies n' Cream Pie, and Cookie Butter Cheesecake to sell in "feed 6-8" sizing. For larger sizes or our cakes, yes we do need a pre-order notice. All of our desserts are available for pre-order on our catering website here.
5.What is your banana pudding like? Our banana pudding is served cold with a cheesecake-style pudding layered over wafer cookies, real sliced bananas, and whipped cream. It is not just banana flavored pudding, it is true classic banana pudding with real bananas.
6. What is the most popular Southern dessert on the menu? While our Banana Pudding is a classic staple, our Cookie Butter Cheesecake has become our guest's newest sensation. It’s the perfect sweet finish to any Southern meal and a must-try for dessert lovers in Alamance County.
