Southern Restaurants near Arlington

“Pulled pork Mac and cheese and Brussel sprouts is what I had. It was seasoned just right!!! We had a sweet waitress as well. Highly recommend this gem!“

“I’m not a southern food expert, but the sweet & spicy chicken and Mac-n-cheese waffles were delicious. The pimento cheese dip was delicious too.“

“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!“

“Dining in Succotash was a pleasant experience. The interior is beautiful and the staff is friendly. As a fan of the Culinary Show, we are lucky to have tasted KY fried tofu and Ribeye Kalbi appeared on the show. I strongly recommend the Ribeye. It was very juicy and satisfying.“

“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.“

“Everything about this place was great. The atmosphere is very charming, the staff is very friendly and the food is cooked perfectly. It's a lovely place. A very interesting wine list and an exceptional Somaliler who guided us through it a picked a fabulous Syrah. This place is a hidden gem and in today's world reasonably priced. The Duck dishes and quail are a must.“

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

“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.“

“My mom and I had an amazing time at Milk & Honey. We ordered the honey biscuits, collared greens, and banana pudding for dessert - so yummy! I would reccomend all of those dishes. Our server Kenzie was amazing! She was so accommodating and made us feel at home. She really made our experience special.
My mom & I are definitely coming back again. Also thank you so much to Xavier who served us our first time here! (this was our second visit)“

“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“

Come on down with friends, family, or whoever you love and enjoy delicious food that tastes like it was made by someone who loves you! Each time I come to Milk & Honey, I always leave full and glad I came. ❤️“

“Thank you Ms. Jasmine for your awesome customer service. I love your hospitality as well as your knowledge of your store and it's entirety. I love my chicken and waffles 😍🤤“

“Best fried chicken in the DMV, hands down. Good food at a good price. It’s literally a hole in the wall but who cares, they do what they do and keep the prices low as a result.

SO GLAD something in town hasn’t changed from the old days!“

“The food was the best southern food that I’ve EVER had at a restaurant. The music was relaxing and Erin took care of her customers with friendly service. Every item that came out of the kitchen looked like it was prepared with love and detail.“

“This place is great and fast and the barbecue rib, beef is the best! The no fat and best meat and the most seasoned. I don’t like pork ribs and they offer beef ribs. The best quality too! Grateful for the money spent, I have come back multiple times for it!“

“Best food in town.. Absolutely delicious“

“Excellent food Original recipes High quality ingredients Prices... À bit high but still acceptable Good and friendly staff Very nice and friendly place“

“Two dishes we had were exquisite - those types of dishes where it becomes very clear a chef is developing and executing the recipe. And the bartender effortlessly curated one of the better dining experiences I've ever had - from the bar! Great spot. Highly recommend.“

“Mother’s Day celebration with family was especially great because of the amazing atmosphere and awesome service at Barrel and Crow. It was our first time visiting this establishment and certainly will not be our last. Shout out to the owner and her staff.“

She did a wonderful job! 10/10 definitely recommend! Thank you Kinfolk for a great birthday! I’ll be back soon <3“

“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!“

“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 ordered fried baby back ribs on May 29, ticket number 148 from the restaurant in Oxon Hill, I have ordered these before and they were delicious. But this time the ribs were hard a scrawny with very little meat on them. Some of the pieces looked as though the meat had been cut away as if there was a spoiled spot on the ribs. Before the ribs had plenty of meat and was juicy. I will not be ordering these again. Please do better. Thank you“

“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.“
