Philadelphia
Southern Food Restaurant

Skeptics may be wary of a restaurant specializing in Southern cuisine in the middle of one of Philly’s rising areas, but one visit to SOUTH will convince them otherwise. SOUTH elevates comfort food with dishes like chicken fried oysters, crawfish bisque, Carolina shrimp and grits, and crispy potato dumplings. With a generous outdoor garden and an indoor space complete with skylights and jazz performance areas, the airy, laid-back ambience is a great place to grab the slow-sipper summer berry cobbler cocktail and some hushpuppies.
