Best Southern American Restaurants in San Ysidro

Southerleigh at the Pearl offers a unique dining experience with a great mix of Southern comfort and Texas flair. Being a former brewery, the ambiance is unique, making it a perfect spot for both casual outings and special occasions. The food is delicious, with standout dishes like their seafood and Southern-inspired offerings, perfectly complemented by a diverse drink menu. The snapper throats, although kinda weird looking, were incredible. Mary, our server, was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making sure we had everything we needed for an enjoyable meal. Thanks so much Mary! Highly recommend!

Fried oysters were small. Otherwise a great experience with great service.

The hostess was great and took us immediately to our table. The ambiance was great. The server tried but still forgot about us at times. Initially thought it was due to lack of enough staff but as the evening declined she was not as quick responding as she could have been. The kitchen seemed to be in mass confusion and the servers were having to explain or take the complaints. Orders were slow, incorrect when leaving kitchen, and not well done. The brown sugar brined pork chop was dry and not tender at all. The “bison” country fried steak was somewhat tender, not great. The mashed potatoes were, eh, just okay. The wedge salad was just okay as well. Surprisingly out of the whole meal, the collard greens were the best on the plate. The price for the meal was expensive when quality of the product is considered. If I’m paying the resort level price the food should be top notch resort level chef cooked food.

The fish tacos are always a must! And the pizza this week was delicious! Team always amazing, meadow is our number one spot we love it and the meadow family!!
