Best Southern American Restaurants in Van Nuys

One of the best barbecue places we have been to. Had a party of 6 and got the "Feast" which was a variety of their offerings ( highly recommend it) . The whole party thought it was great along with the service

You definitely need to make a reservation or you could have a long wait. We were seated within 10 minutes of our reservation time. The food was good and not over priced. The service was also good. There’s a full menu to choose from and they even have a happy hour.

I had a great time at Irie Restaurant & Lounge, West Hollywood’s gem of a cannabis café! The service was attentive, and the food was delicious, with plenty of plant-based options to choose from. That said, it would be even better with a bit more effort in offering a plant-based protein—just a little tweak to make the menu even more inclusive. The cannabis offerings were absolutely superb—great quality and variety. The dual-server system (one for food and drink, and another for cannabis) makes regulatory sense, but it can feel a bit confusing for first-time visitors trying to navigate all their options. Streamlining that process could elevate the overall experience from great to phenomenal. That said, Irie’s vibe, service, and offerings have already won me over. I plan to make regular visits! Highly recommend this wonderful spot for a unique and enjoyable dining and cannabis experience.

We are usually leery of chain restaurants, but this one turned out to be terrific! The bar manager, Tommy was particularly helpful and recommending both food and cocktails. The street corn was to die for and our short ribs were enough to share and absolutely delicious.

Restaurant was out of cornbread; however, the chef personally gave us some on the way out from brunch. Wish they offered real maple syrup. Appreciate if butter was not in disposable packaging (to help with environment). Chicken and waffles were good. Yams were a bit sweet; however good recipe and enjoyed them.
