34 Best Southern Restaurants near Takoma Park

“I’ve only ever ordered delivery from here, but every time I do they give me exactly what I need. Everything I order from here comes to me well packaged, pipping hot, and well seasoned. I’ve tried a variety of things off their menu and everything I’ve had is superb. I was most pleasantly surprised by the lo mein in my most recent order, I don’t typically order it as a side but it’s now my new favorite.

I was driven to write this review because every time I order something, it’s consistent. And the best part? It’s affordable for what you’re getting. My absolute favorite restaurant I get delivery from. Would love to go in person at some point!“

“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!“

“I had the pleasure of dining at The Hitching Post DC. I ordered the grilled lamb chops, mac & cheese, collard greens. The lamb chops are in my top 2 of the best I've ever tasted. I don't normally order mac & cheese when I go out to a restaurant, but this order was perfect as well. The collard greens could use a little vinegar, however, they were still delicious. I will definitely dine there in the near future. The lemon cake had was flavorful, moist and delicious, too. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Food was... Phenomenal. I had smothered biscuits with fried chicken and everything was sublime. Good came out fast, people were friendly. Had seating but everyone, including us, were just getting food to go. Decor is cute but not vibey. I will 100% go back if I am anywhere within 45min of the place for those biscuits.“

“The atmosphere is very nice and so is the service, our server was very nice she Ben gave us a delicious free dessert❤❤❤ our server Delila H. is AMAZING I love her so much 😀 the food was okay ✅ although the menu is small and it is expensive but i really like how they had a whole lemonade selection for the kids😌🍋 overall nice fancy restaurant with nice food 🙂“

“Came in late Sunday and the restaurant was super accommodating to my reservation growing from 4 to 5 people. Had an amazing meal and great drinks. Tre was an awesome server and we even got helped by a really sweet bartender named Christina. We will def be back.“

“One of the best places that you could go down time for happy hour. Even if it's not happy hour, you should still make a point to visit. The bartenders are excellent. The managers are very attentive. It's one of my favorite locations visit. The inside is very interesting and great for people who want a pleasant place to be.“

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

“Meeting of three friends for brunch. We arrived ahead of our reservation and were seated within 5 minutes. The server was polite and professional, but seemed to have too many guests to serve as he was slow to serve us. The French toast was lukewarm warm and unexpectedly crispy. The milk for my coffee was curdled but they replaced it with a fresh cup. The location was convenient for us and overall thermosphere and food were pleasant.“

“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.

Huge kudos to my favorite Chef Rudy aka Smiley. I work from home & running to grab my breakfast before getting stuck on meetings all day is a blessing to me because Chef Rudy takes great care of me.“

“My boyfriend and I got the catfish dinner with cabbage and candied yams for our sides, and everything was absolutely amazing! Hands down, one of the best soul food spots in D.C. If you’ve been thinking about trying this place, we highly recommend it! We’ll definitely be back again soon!“

“Excellent dinner: Moules Marinières and Salade Niçoise and an inexpensive and tasty Bordeaux.“

“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.“

“Let me say this the food is great but the service was horrible. We waited almost 45 mins before we received our food. The waitress informed us there was a larger party on the other side of the restaurant, and that is why our food was taking so long. A paying customer is a paying customer whether the party is large or small. I would like to give one more chance before I decide not to patronize this Hyattsville location again.“

“Food was very good!“
