The South

What a gem! I took my pops in to try out this place for the first time, and it was awesome. Family owned, I'm sure! The food was really fresh and it was obviously made with love! We ordered the fried okra to start off and I immediately knew this was going to be a great experience, cooked and seasoned well! My dad had the catfish poboy and I had the catfish basket and both were perfect. The owners came over to talk to us in person and they even gave us complimentary jambalaya balls. They were even trying to get us to try the crayfish, but we were stuffed!Definitely will have to come back to try more! The dining room was clean and you could feel a family environment, very welcoming!

Our party of 14 was out looking for a late lunch and were in the area so we decided to stop through on a Saturday afternoon about a half hour before their lunch service ended. Fortunately we were able to find 3 tables near each other. All of the food was great. The breading on the fried items was light and not at all oily. The collard greens were well seasoned and really stood out. After we were done the owner came out and checked on us, and all of a sudden just started to bring out things for us to taste that we didn't get a chance to try! All that did was make us wish we had ordered more. I was already full but I'm addition to what we ordered got to try their dirty rice, etoufee and gumbo. All three were great as well, especially the etoufee. Just wish we had a place like this at home.

Just down the street from us. Found it on Yelp and am very happy. Only complaint is no fresh brewed ice tea. Food is authentic Southern dishes.I had a seafood PoBoy. Excellent!I love the wall covering. Looks like NOLA. Our server was new but she did a great job. We will be back soon

Excellent service at the bar, the food was steaming hot! Crawfish had excellent flavor.

When you're paying top dollar for food ... (from a place like The South) you expect it to be amazing, right? Well, this restaurant is giving us culinary whiplash--one minute, it's great, the next you're left wondering if they dropped the ball!No doubt The Dirty South for $20.00 is a delicious deal!! The catfish is delicately blackened, smothered in a crawfish étouffée sauce and served over your choice of dirty rice or jambalaya. The homemade candied pecans sprinkled on top is a nice unique twist! "Yum" will roll out of your mouth with each bite!Why three stars? The Fat Cajun Combo was not worth $25.00. Although this dinner provided a generous portion of fried catfish (fried in a delicious cajun batter I might add), the shrimp and oysters were an epic failure. The shrimp were small and chewy (over cooked) and the oysters were fried but soft, runny, very smelly fishy fishy taste. Awful!! Since this was my dinner -- I ate more of the oysters than i should have. I know better. Then I paid the pipper -- I spent the rest of the night with a headache, stomach cramps and diarrhea. Maybe I shouldn't have eaten 3 of the oysters, but I kept hoping that the oysters would get better. The oysters was half the dinner, lol, I felt a lot of pressure to eat them because it was so expensive. Whomp whomp.The South was packed when we arrived on a Friday around 6pm. We had to wait for 10 minutes to be seated. Honestly, that was not a problem. After we were seated they forgot about us. It took them too long to take our order. That was a problem .. especially when there's only 7 tables in the whole restaurant. For such a tiny space, getting service and stopping by to check on the food should be a priority. If someone would have asked how we were doing, I would have said something. We will be back for The Dirty South when the mood strikes us, but other than that, we are discouraged to try anything else from the menu!

If I could give this place 6 or 7 stars I would. We stopped here for lunch after going horseback riding nearby. It's a small place with a simple concept and everything was very clean. The staff was very friendly and super helpful. I had the fried catfish basket. The catfish was a large piece of fried catfish served piping hot and the hushpuppies and fries were fresh and absolutely delicious. I got the swirled frozen daiquiri which came served in a bag and was very strong and very refreshing. One of the employees brought out a couple complimentary crawfish for me to try and they were so good. My husband got the chicken wings and let me just tell you I am still dreaming about them. Amazing wings. Huge, juicy, well seasoned perfection that don't need a drop of sauce. Saucing those wings would be an insult. I wish I saved room to try some of their dessert but alas we will just have to come back another time. Please stop by here and support a local business with some top notch food.

8/30/24: Neighbor and I stopped by for lunch. This was our first visit. It was pretty busy and we sat at the bar. This a small location, there are several tables, and the bar sits five. We sat at the bar. Porter took our order, and he was very friendly. He also was tending to the bar, and running the food out from the kitchen. The food took about 25 minutes to come out, and it was nice and hot. My neighbor had the shrimp platter, which had about six two bite shrimp, a couple of tiny hushpuppies and coleslaw. I had the chicken sandwich with fries. Looking at the menu, the 16" Po'Boys seemed pretty expensive. The restaurant is nicely decorated, and there are TV's throughout. Parking is plentiful, and it's easy access from the street.

My sis had the wings with fries and I had the oyster po boy with fries. Her take on the wings, they were ok.. the oyster po boy, I loved the bread. The oysters on the po boy were missing something. The service was good. You walk up to order, take a number, have a seat and they bring your food to you.

I've been wanting to try this place for a minute. Finally found some time to rally the girls up and give it a shot. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The device was excellent. Owner and manager both came out to greet us, definitely a dying tradition in customer care. They were out of the jambalaya but the owner let us try the jambalaya balls on the house. They blew us away, loaded with meat and flavor these were a crowd pleaser. I had the fried shrimp po-boy, it was delicious..no complaints. As my side I got the gumbo which was also loaded with meat and hit the spot. We really enjoyed our visit and hoping this place stays around for a long time.Also wanted to mention that this place is giving back to our community which is a huge plus for me.

We're not from here, so we were looking for some good local food and this spot was sooo good. Everything was delicious! You walk in and it even smells amazing haha Staff was very nice, the place was clean. I would definitely come here again!
