Southern Rail Restaurant

Excellent food and atmosphere! Staff was very friendly and attentive despite the restaurant being almost completely full. Shrimp and grits were very tasty, and although the portion size could probably be a bit bigger for this particular dish, I would still highly recommend it, because the grits were seasoned just right, and the shrimp was cooked to tender perfection. Fried chicken was top notch: perfectly breaded and extremely juicy, definitely a crowd pleaser. The gumbo was good but a bit one-dimensional (would be nice to see a bit more variety in ingredients for this dish). Overall, discovering this restaurant was a great experience and I will definitely come back to try their other dishes. (Side note: it also seems like a classy place for celebrations and other special occasions. The ambiance, decor, and drink selection are awesome, and several tables nearby were there for birthdays. Everyone seemed to be having a great time!)

Overall nice experience. The service was awesome. Very attentive. The food was tasty as well. The Dirty Rice balls were a great app. The chicken was fresh and crispy. Large servings are also a plus! They were out of the greens, so I'm looking forward to trying them on my next visit.

Eddie was a fantastic server. Knew the drink menu like the back of his hand. Very prompt and courteous. The food was incredible, the flavors well blended and balanced. Will definitely return.

Went here with the friends and the atmosphere is great! Service is incredible!!! Food is not it at all... I got the dirty rice balls, they were bland and lacking flavor. I got the Gumbo and it was more like beef stew with rice in it. Last I got the chicken, it looked amazing and I was ready to dive in, and was disappointed as well, the sides were on point but the chicken was not. Plating, presentation and service is A+, taste of the food is not.

DELICIOUS! I've drived by this restaurant countless of times and decided to give them a try with my family and we loved it! The tomato and red pepper soup was an all time favorite!! I don't eat chicken but it's their most popular meal but heads up it's not served until after 4pm! And babbbyyyyy the grits, blown away! ?

Good. Fun atmosphere, decent drinks and v tasty / authentic fried chicken. We also got the shrimp and grits which were good. Nothing else on the menu really jumped out so dunno if we will go back to try anything else.

I've eaten here once before , and returned to introduce this wonderful food to another person. The service was slow, but efficient. The patio was actually full where the inside was sparsely populated, which added to the service time. The waiter was knowledgeable and patient, and kept the flow of things, easy. I had the fried chicken, which is their sig.ature dish, and it didn't disappoint! The chicken has that "crunch" while remaining juicy. The sides were perfect (mashed potatoes and "broccolini" - don't know what that is, but it tasted good lol), and the ambience was chill

Amazing experience and gastronomic intelligence of Chef Beckett. This completely surprises me that this restaurant does not have a james beard award, I'd even say with the presentation of the culinary expertise they serve, that Southern Rail Restaurant should be a 1 Michelin star....easy ... amazing staff. Eye opening wine and whiskey list. True gem ? ? ?
