Best Southern American Restaurants in Irving

Great experience on Valentine’s Day- though places was packed. Reservation was on time. Food was delicious and drinks were strong.

I can’t say enough good things about this place! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. But the real star of the experience? Roque. Roque went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. His attention to detail, kindness, and knowledge of the menu made our meal even more special. He had excellent recommendations, and in particular the wine pairing recommendation with our dish. The food itself was outstanding—perfectly done, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. But it was Roque’s incredible service that truly set this experience apart. If you’re looking for a restaurant that delivers both amazing food and top-tier service, this is the place. Highly recommend, and if you go, be sure to ask for Roque! You won’t be disappointed.

I can’t get enough of this place at all. Great food, Great environment, Great Everything. I will admit I went 2-13-25 and my food was amazing until I got my southern fried chicken and it was too salty. BUT, they brought out another fresh order quickly, and it was perfect. This place is literally perfect!

Amazing Food & Incredible Experience! From start to finish, this restaurant delivered an unforgettable dining experience. We kicked things off with the deviled eggs and gumbo, and as a self-proclaimed gumbo connoisseur, I can confidently say this was one of the best I’ve had in a long time—rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. For the main course, we went with a family staple: fried chicken. It was everything you want in fried chicken—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. The collard greens were packed with flavor, and the shrimp fried rice was a delicious surprise, full of bold and savory notes. To top it all off, my cousin and I enjoyed a few of their specialty cocktails, the Purple Rain was absolutely fantastic. Meeting the chef was a highlight; she was incredibly kind and accommodating, which made the experience even more special. Although I don’t live in Dallas, I’m already looking forward to coming back. If you’re a local or just visiting, this place is a must-try!

We had reservation for Feb 11th for a table of 13 (business meal). Everything from the service, our waitress Summer was amazing, to the food and location were absolutely phenomenal. The sous chef came out and checked on us a few times to ensure we were satisfied with our meals and service. This experience was a 10/10 and we will be back!
