Best Southern American Restaurants in South Side

Wyu was the best server I had in a long time. Always attentive and even though he had a huge party he was dealing with as well as other tables he kept up kept a smile and remained professional and warm at all times

We couldn’t have asked for a better spot to celebrate Galentine’s Day! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was chef’s kiss—warm lighting, chic decor, and just the right vibe for a night of laughter and good food. Now, let’s talk about the food—absolutely divine! Every dish was plated beautifully and bursting with flavor. The scallop, shrimp and risotto was a must-try, and don’t even get me started on the cocktails. The WTH signature cocktail was the perfect mix of sweet and strong! The service was top-notch too! From the hostess, who was ann anbs delight, the bartender and our server were attentive, gave great recommendations, and made us feel like VIPs. Whether you’re celebrating friendship, love, or just life in general, this place is a total win. Can’t wait to come back! #GalentinesDoneRight #GirlsNightOut #FiveStars

Took hubby here for his birthday. This was our second time visiting. The food was just as we remembered, if not even better! We started off with the gumbo, which was hearty in itself. My husband had the Short ribs, which were tender and flavorful. I had the blackened catfish, which was flaky, seasoned well, and melted in my mouth. We also ordered as sides: collard greens, mac n cheese, and cornbread. OMG, I could've lived off the cornbread alone! Greens were cooked to perfection, and mac n cheese was creamy but not overly cheesy. Needless to say, our eyes were bigger than our stomachs, and we had a lot of leftovers. The service was top-notch, and it was a great experience overall. It is a small space, so be prepared to maybe sit a little close to other patrons. It was cool for us, great conversation. We will definitely be back, try something else, and remember those sides are enough to 2👍🏾

The food was excellent, great choices to choose from, my server was an absolute joy, she was attentive but not over , she kept an eye on us without seeming too much, I will definitely be back and with, my whole family, Thanks for an enjoyable experience

Food was fantastic. Ample portions I always have leftovers. Service exceptional. Jasmine has been my server in several occasions and is at the top of her game in terms of being courteous and attentive. Previously Roux was my fave in the neighborhood but now Dawn has become my go to spot for breakfast and brunch. Make reservations ahead of time they book quickly.
