Best Southern American Restaurants in Gainesville

Food was probably the best I’ve had in Virginia. Everything was super flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and exceptionally well cooked. The service was also fantastic and the ambiance was top notch. We dined here for a birthday and the staff also made several small gestures to make the dinner feel extra special for the birthday individual. Would definitely be back for a special occasion dining experience.

I had the best time here! We did have to wait 40 min with a reservation but it was well worth the wait. The food was so good I ordered the catfish with Macaroni and cheese and greens and also the chicken and waffles and the wild berry lemon drop! The kitchen and the kocktails were on point. The staff and manager were so nice one of the main reasons I had to leave a review. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

Delicious food. Great service. Only complaint was the seating. Even though there were many open tables we were seated right next to another table that was very close. We had to move our tables over a bit to give some place next to the couple next to us. Felt very cramped

You start with the ambience of entering a renovated 1852 train station in old town Warrenton. In the summer they have a large patio for outdoor dinning. The food was outstanding today, as usual. We started with their famous She-Crab Soup and the Yellowfin Ahi Tuna Wontons that will never disappoint anyone. It was lunch, so we all had the Angus Burger seasoned and cooked to a perfect medium with white cheddar and applewood bacon. I added their bacon jam. Then for desert we had the Creme Brulee and Apple Crisp that were a perfect ending. Our waitress Brenda V. was outstanding with a great attitude. We could not have asked for a better brithday lunch for my wife.

Some of the nicest restaurant staff I’ve met in DC and all of the food literally melted in my mouth it was so good! Definitely recommend trying the butter biscuits with homemade peach jam as an appetizer.
