28 Best Southern Restaurants near Clinton

“Great location in Clinton! Good sized menu! I loved the hibiscus pineapple juice; very refreshing! The tuna was good, a little pricey though. Im not vegan and ordered the black bean chili, it would have been nice to actually have meat in it. Lol. I added raw onion and hot sauce and it was better tasting IMO. The whiting nuggets were cool, the sauce was superb. I also ordered the salmon salad but haven’t eaten it yet. The presentation is chefs kiss! So much color in the dish. I want to comeback and try the bean pie and the hibiscus ginger pineapple juice.“

“We absolutely love the food here. My God daughter and I really enjoyed everything about this restaurant. We will definitely be back soon 🤩“

“Went to Kitchen +Kocktails for the first time last night. The decor was very nice, and the music was good and not obnoxious. Our server Ally was terrific! I’m not a drinker, so when I asked her if there were any cocktails that didn’t taste like alcohol, I thought she would look at me like I was crazy, but she didn’t! She seemed to know exactly what I was talking about and immediately had a couple of suggestions. I went with the mixed berry lemon drop and it was perfect for me. The crab cake appetizers and shrimp and grits with lobster tail entree were amazing. We had a great time and we’ll be back!“

“Think of the cool vibe and lighting of a classic New Orleans restaurant and mix it with the eclectic mix of American southern and Korean cuisine. Especially great for vegetarians and gluten intolerant folks. The deviled eggs, crispy Korean cauliflower and fried pickles were particularly tasty.“

“went this weekend for a birthday lunch and the food is amazing! Courtney was an awesome server. Did not disappoint!“

“Love love love Succotash. We had Taste of the South and was BLOWN AWAY by the food. Come with a group so you can really share. Must get steak, greens, pickled okra, shrimp and grits, and the cornbread.

Service from Jeizon D was chef's kiss! Met our every need, cleared and cleaned our tables like a 5-star french restaurants. Drinks flowing all night.

And who doesn't love this ambiance!?!?“

“Honestly, this was the best and most unique meal I've had in a long time. We shared the Pimento cheese which was wonderful. I had the Pennsylvania Pekin Duck. I had never had duck before and this dish had duck breast and a fried leg. Both were amazing. It was impossible to choose a favorite. I'm sure duck is ruined for me now. Oh and for desert we had Coffee and Cigarettes, which was served in an ash tray. I've never had an experience like that with something I was eating. I was honestly blown away. That's just the food. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I can't wait to go back.“

“Milk & Honey really impressed me today!
From the front staff to the cook, everyone was pleasant and welcoming. You can tell they genuinely love what they do—nothing but smiles all around.

I placed my order online, and unfortunately one item didn’t show up on their end. Even so, they took the time to try figure out the confusion and made sure I received my missing item without any issues.

Customer service like this is hard to find these days. Location was clean and the ambience was everything.
Everyone was kind, patient, and professional.
I’ll definitely be back!

Thank you,
From CT“

“Great service, delicious food, and an amazing atmosphere!“

“My family and I were in dc about 2 weeks ago and found this gem of an eatery at the Union Market and it was DELICIOUS 🤤 By far the absolute BEST bread puddin I have ever had in my life and we are from the south and I have eaten a lot of bread puddin. Please let me know when you start shipping because u have a huge fan base in Texas 😊 Katrina Briggs - Dallas, TX“

“The overall experience was amazing, the food was great, and the service was perfect. The only item that I would offer a recommendation on is the kids' menu. It offered only 2 items, leaving most kids without something simple like eggs. The menu offered bacon or French toast, but no eggs, which seemed really interesting. Overall, my food and drinks were great. We would most likely go again in the near future.“

“Miss Toya’s didn’t disappoint. We had jerk chicken rolls, fried green tomatoes, fried deviled eggs with crab meat for appetizers. For dinner we had lamb chops, spinach, mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, oxtails, sweet potatoes, porch chops, fried cabbage, and sweet potatoes. We had bignets, and bread pudding. The food was amazing! Very flavorful! Customer service was excellent. Marquis didn’t disappoint. He was amazing! As a matter of fact several servers checked on us throughout our time there. The atmosphere was nice. We enjoyed the music. We will return.“

“This was a fabulous find. Being the Southern inspired menu, we opted for the fried green tomato appetizer, panko breaded deviled eggs were an unexpected and unusual offering that was phenomenally delicious. We also enjoyed their cajun pasta to round out the meal. We had courteous service from staff that were friendly, responsive and informative and efficient and fun. Very reasonable priced for quality and quantity of food. Highly recommend.“

“A big thanks to the entire team! My family and I had a wonderful time eating delicious food and enjoying the amazing ambiance. Big special thanks to Keith aka Emmanuel for the amazing service and hospitality. Everyone was extremely welcoming and friendly. Definitely worth the visit!“

“l had a good time..luv the ambience..awsome barmaid..would love to come back to celebrate my bday there this month“

“I recently visited Marcus DC with one of my close friends and honestly could not have asked for a better experience. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was incredible and the service matched it perfectly.
We decided to go the small plates route and I'm glad we did. We started off with the oysters. The oysters paired the prickly pear piri piri and habanero sauce were absolutely delicious... bold, unique flavors that I was not expecting but loved every bite of. We also had the snapper crudo which was so well balanced and flavorful without being overdone. Just really well executed.
Now let me talk about the adobo cauliflower because it may genuinely be the best seasoned cauliflower I have ever had in my entire life. I would go back to this restaurant just for that dish alone!! Lastly, the crispy potato was also a great addition and rounded out the meal perfectly.
Everything about this visit was top tier. The food, the atmosphere, and especially the service. If you have not been to Marcus at the Morrow Hotel yet, you are truly missing out.“

“I frequent Carolina Kitchen weekly, sometimes twice in one week. The food is delicious, especially the stewed chicken, beef bbq ribs, cabbage, greens and black eye peas as well as their baked beans. The food is seasoned appropriately, not too salty or bland, just right. The staff is superb. I recommend Carolina Kitchen to anyone who appreciates good food.“

“I had the best experience here at Addie‘s. The owner was amazing and super accommodating with what our request were for our order and allow us to try a variety of things on their menu. I highly recommend their turkey, yams, mac & cheese, green beans, and mashed potatoes while these are our favorite everything was well seasoned, including the cornbread, which is to die for. The staff is incredibly kind and I knew I was taken care of here at this establishment. Even though parking was slightly challenging, I most definitely will be back.“

“The food was very good, especially for a busy Valentine's Day. However, an automatic 18% gratuity was added for our table of three and wasn't mentioned by our server — we nearly tipped twice before noticing. I'm someone who routinely tips 20%, so clearer communication would have been appreciated. The service was also inattentive, which made the automatic charge frustrating.“

“I enjoyed my liver and onions on Sun, 11/12/23; however, they forgot to add gravy. It was my first time ordering liver; glad they cook it fresh so the wait is longer but that's okay. NEXT TIME, please don't forget the GRAVY!!!!....and make sure you include all of the sides! Thank you! I hope this is the correct location; the one by the Movie Theater and not the Brand New Location.“

“When I first moved to Capitol Heights, I assumed that I would have to travel far for vegetarian/vegan food or make it myself. And how surprised was I that there was a vegan restaurant down the road! Each day the menu changes, so you could have a favorite every day of the week. And the portions! You can make SEVERAL meals out of one dinner. Is it cheap? NOPE! But something that's good for your body AND soul shouldn't be.“

“FOOD IS VERY GOOD AND I LOVE STEVE AND GEORGINA“

“maneger Nancy very rude and careless of customer service just want money I will never spend my money there i request my food a certain way they jack it up every time don't waste your money and they will cheat u“

“We had a great time. Clean, not overcrowded. Food was actually seasoned!!🙌🏾🙌🏾 Service was INCREDIBLY from the cashier, to host, to waitress ANNDDDD THE BATHROOM WAS CLEAN. We’ve decided to ditch the closer one and make the 41 minute drive to this Waldorf location moving forward!!“

“Tuesday evening we celebrated my husband's bday with a party of nine 5 adults 2 preteen and 2 busy body toddlers and WE ENJOYED EVERY MOMENT....Our server was absolutely AMAZING... We dined in the back area which was very spacious for us we had the whole area .... I'm not sure of the servers name Annecia H....I think...anywho SHE WAS AMAZING PATIENT AND VERY PROFESSIONAL AND I'LL COME BACK JUST TO BE IN HER SECTION LOL.....“

“I love the food at EllaRay’s Cafe. I go there every week. I usually call my order in and pick it up in 15 or 20 minutes. I prefer the vegetable platter and an extra side of beans. The portions are enough for two meals for me. I love breakfast there also. Glad I discovered them.“
