Best Southern American Restaurants in Haymarket

I made reservations with OpenTable during Valentin's Day weekend. We came in and got seated immediately. Our server was Alexa. She was phenominal with giving suggestions for drinks, food, and specials. I got the heavenly eggs, and my fiance got collard greens dip. Excellent. I went with the chicken and specialty waffle of the month, which was red velvet. Crispy, flaky waffle, not overbearing seasoned chicken, and give you the option of whitw or dark meat with you waffles. I also had a side of yams and macaroni & cheese. My fiance got banana pudding waffles and a side of lobster mac. Everything was delicious. We got the special dessert, which was the Strawberry Trifle. So good. Not overly sweet. 10/10 recommend. Now I have got to find the number for them to cater my wedding!

Oh my god. I was hesitant to go here at first because of a few negative reviews I read. But, I went and let me tell you, I’ll be going back. From start to finish, everything & everybody was fantastic. The food was delish; came out fast and it was hot; the waitress was attentive and friendly; the ambiance was 100. Can’t say enough good things about YardBird. I’m just glad i didn’t base my experience off of other reviews. Go! You won’t regret it.

Claire's never disappoints! From the greeters to Laurie, our always fabulous server, everyone is very warm and makes customers feel like old friends. the food of course is the star and is star worthy. Naturally, one cannot go to Claire's without starting the everning with the She Crab Soup - it rivals the offerings in Charleston!. We both had the Rockfish special - truly special. And the butternut squash puree was something new and a great accompanyment. Because it's Valentines dinner, we splurged on our calorie budget and had desert - Creme Brulee and Mixed Berry cobler. What a great finish. We always appreciate Claires and continue to recommend it to our friends.

Fabulous night! Our Waiter Trish was very welcoming, make us feel like home! She guide us through the menu very well and carefully for us to make the best experience. We have some wings, popcorn shrimp, with some extra dirty sauce, ( no to spicy for my taste ) but delicious. Tuna tartare and the Dirty fry chicken on point to enjoy it the southern taste. Kudos to Trish for take care of us and make our night unforgettable. Until next time! Thank you for the meal.

Amazing meal, wonderful ambiance and excellent staff! The local rib eye and rabbit are excellent entrees.
