14 Best Southern Restaurants in Philadelphia

“Everything was amazing!!! The service was great, our server took her time to accommodate. The food was well seasoned and very delicious. The drinks were flavorful! I had their special and I’m think of returning again really soon. The environment was just so amazing with the improvised jazz music going on in the next room. And a special shoutout for the chef taking the time out of his nonstop cooking and attention to detail of playing to ask us how the food was!!“

“Customer service was exceptional. Seating area was a bit small but everyone was so friendly and worked as a team. Honestly the best service I ever had. I went for restaurant week and ordered the shrimp creole. Omg I cleaned my plate and was still salivating over the idea of more when I got home. My partner ordered the crab soup and the salmon. Eyes rolled in the back of his head y’all. Everything was so well and for my first time they left a lasting impression. Would definitely dine here again. I’m just disappointed the shrimp creole isn’t on the regular menu.“

“I could not have had a better experience here. Packed house on a Friday night and the place was running like a well-oiled machine. Service could not have been more engaging and friendly, and the food was of course fantastic. It doesn't hurt that the meal I had here was the beginning of the best first date of my life. Highly recommend!“

“Food was delicious! Good vibe!“

“It was their last day of business. I will miss this gem in West Oak Lane. It was always a good time had at this neighborhood restaurant. A Black owned business that gave their community the very best‼️ Great run, Bynum brothers. Your dad, Mr. Ben, would be so proud of how you have taken his legacy to the next level and have established your family name throughout the city of Philadelphia. Thank you for the great times @ Relish?“

“Im gonna say Samantha, was the number 1 server! I believe everyone's hospitality was unmatched. I almost felt like family. The food was A1 and it came fast. I couldn't believe it. I had the salt in pepper shrimp, omg it was soo good! I got gout and still kept pushing on the seafood. Im going back as soon as I paid again. My children loved the seafood fried rice, the dumplings wasnt good, but the overall 10 stars. They even put my food in containers without asking. Top tier service!“

“Had this young lady cater a party for my daughter’s birthday back in MARCH but I didn’t know I could leave a review so here I am now EVERYTHING was absolutely amazing, my daughter’s favorite part was the taco bar ! I will be going back for future events for real !! Good job Amina
