Best Southern American Restaurants in Charlottesville

As always, menu has great variety and food is terrific. Wonderful service from start to finish.

Forked on Main is a great destination restaurant in a quaint country town. The food is fantastic and the service is great. The menu has something for everyone. Try their specialty cocktails. They do an Old Fashioned that is best I have ever had.

Prefix menu was delicious, a little pricey though.

We went to Clementine for the first time on 2/13 and will definitely return! Despite being jazz night, which we didn't know, and the night before Valentine's day, our party of 5 was seated immediately. The place was jam-packed, but our server, Ryan, took the time to ensure that our party had pertinent info for our CELIAC family member to dine safely. We had the spinach artichoke dip and salmon starters -- both were excellent and available with gf bread. Despite it being such a busy night, Ryan was attentive without hovering, drinks replenished as needed. The entrees were all fantastic: scallops melt in the mouth tender, salmon bowl (L) cleaned, BEST shrimp and grits ever, chicken burrito was too big to eat, and 8yo granddaughter ate her entire burger without stopping for her fries! Everything was served hot, delicious, and no one added salt or pepper to their food! Granddaughter wanted dessert to go; when Ryan went to get it, she leaned conspiratorially across the table at me to ask if we could leave an extra tip "Because he's so NICE!" LOL! We'll definitely be back!

Had a reservation for 3 at 6pm. We were seated a few minutes early and had our appetizers within 10 minutes of being in the building. Our Entrees also arrived in a very timely manner, and everything was delicious.
