Best Southern American Restaurants in Old Town Alexandria

We visited this restaurant after it was highly recommended, our waiter started off very nice but forgot to put our food order in and we watched everyone around us that came in after, receive their food. He apologized but it was a long wait. The food did not disappoint.

My wife and I had a great, no fuss Valentine’s Day dinner. The restaurant wasn’t crowded and the full menu was available plus a V-day featured special. My wife enjoyed a Caesar salad and the BBQ salmon while I had the catfish. We also had fried green tomatoes and the pecan pie. The menu was our primary reason for choosing this location. Neither of us are huge on barbecue, but there’s plenty mouthwatering options outside of the BBQ realm. Service was friendly and attentive. The food did take a little bit of time to arrive, but once it did, we both were happy. It has been a long week and we really just needed a relaxing spot with good food where we could talk, laugh and focus on each other. All boxes checked.

Just wanted to commend the waiter for our table on Valentine's Day. My wife has seafood allergies, and the waiter ensured that he instructed her of food that were not entangled with seafood per her allergies. Excellent service and always checked on us regularly. Great service by our waiter named Jimmy.

I started with the seasonal salad, with crispy shallots on top, added both crunchy texture and a delicious accent. Accompanied by the cast iron cornbread with herbed butter, well an explosion of flavor that I savored!

Great food, fantastic service and a wonderful atmosphere.
