15 Best Southern Restaurants near Santa Monica

“Asked for a view in a 3/4 empty room, was told 2 people couldn't have the corner seat. Was offered an inferior view so we left. Bad business to turn away a couple over seat preferences. We have never been to a Bubba Gump Shrimp restraunt before, will never return either. Too bad. Went across the pier to Seaside on the pier and have an excellent view.“

“Awesome breakfast in a cool environment, the Lajoies from Connecticut“

“Good food 🍱, good service“

“Love it mane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’“

“The service was great, our waitress was kind and attentive. She shared information on their drink offers and we couldn’t help but to try the lemonade. She made a special little concoction and It was delicious, for sure. After ordering, our food was out in no time. It was fresh, plentiful, and flavorful. We had the fish and grits and an order of wings. We have zero complaints! We shared a plate and stuffed ourselves, and still had food left. Highly recommend!“

“OUTSTANDING!!! We tried about seven different items and they were all amazing!!! The ribeye burger was exceptional and loaded with flavor. The turkey tenders were moist and crispy. My fiancé loved the salad. The virgin mojitos were spot on and the champs Mac-n-Cheese was FIRE!!! The seasoning on it was perfect and it was definitely cheesy.

100% going back and looking forward to trying other items off of the menu. If you are looking for great food with reasonable pricing, then you need to look out for Love Henrietta’s.“

“Ich liebe Bubba Gump und besuche praktisch jedesmal wenn ich bei m Universal Citywalk unterwegs bin. Wer Shrimps mag, liebt diesen Laden.“

“Absolutely the finest Soul Food. You don't want to skip this place. I had the lunch portion of the Oxtail and chose the Candied Yams and Mac and Cheese as sides. It came with 2 Cornbread Muffins. It was all delicious and filling. I ordered the Coconut Pineapple Cake for Dessert. It filled the container. See the picture. Totally Recommend this place.“

“I cried the first time I ate from here. It’s so good, I think its suited better as a breakfast place and a lunch/dinner place, but regardless the chicken is so crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the bread is so soft and buttery. I love everything about this place. Their milkshakes are the best too.“

“Cajun outdoor shack with fried seafood options, gumbo, and even alligator. There’s a small parking lot behind the building. Credit cards are accepted. Outdoor dining only (no indoor options) and there’s delivery and takeout available. As other reviews and the sign on their window notes,you won’t get the food quickly since it’s slow food and that’s part of the whole experience. You scan a QR code to get the menu. I opted for a fried catfish and five shrimp plate which came with an option of two small sides. I got the red beans and rice as well as fries. The red beans and rice were hot and comforting; the fries are crinkle cut. The plate came with a side of tartar sauce and there are hot sauces and ketchup available at each table. They have a paper towel roll and hand sanitizer at each table as well. The fish isn’t as seasoned as I would’ve expected but the shrimp was super fresh and tasty. I had leftovers and they still kept relatively well the next day.“
