The 9 Best Southern Food Restaurants in Austin

Joel Goodman: A fantastic addition to the East side. The Labneh was bright and delicious. The chicken was great and even better cold the next day. Definitely a small plates place.

Lauren Mac: The sweets are their standouts: pancakes and choc chip zucchini bread are moist, their fries well-seasoned, and their decor as perfect as a Mad Men scene.

Kirsten Peissel: Egg toast for the win at this ex laundry mat turned foodie heaven. The grilled octopus also did not disappoint.

Corey Crawford: The oxtails have so much flavor the greens are excellently cooked with turkey meat, and you can't go wrong with ordering anything on the menu

Buddy Brannan: I think they bread the chicken and fish with crack, but I'm not sure. ... Gonna miss this place...

Josh A: Simple soul food menu of fried chicken, waffles, fish. Couple Classic sides like collards and okra. Good but not life changing.

Matthew Saylors: Unique yet tasty take on the classic combo. Amazing green tea cappuccino

Caroline Umali: Great colourful interior which is the initial draw to the place. Coffee is a golden!!
