Best Southern American Restaurants in Carrollton

It was Willie Mae’s at what they do best and they didn’t disappoint. The cup of gumbo was tiny but mighty. We had the 1/2 chicken (leftovers baby!) with the cabbage as the side. The cabbage was a next level experience. I find most local restaurants “Cajun- fy” foods they don’t understand with Tony’s seasoning, but this was none of that. It reminded me of home- grounded in real flavors to enhance - not to cover up. They understood the assignment and succeeded. The chicken was, obviously, fantastic. Crispy yet juicy. We arrived way too early for our reservation and the host and hostess did their best to accommodate us. We happily waited for a preferred table. Great service. I thought my cocktail was a little weak, but that was the only room for improvement. I’m still dreaming of that cabbage. I wish they’d add a veggie platter of all sides. It was too good.

This is rapidly becoming our go to place in New Orleans - amazing drinks and creative wonderfully yummy food. Service was outstanding - thanks to Chris and Paul for your hospitality- - service by Fox and Jordan were excellent.

Wonderful experience. Food was outstanding. Crab cakes, crispy turkey necks, sweet potato crumble, cornbread, chili glazed salmon, blackened catfish, smothered chicken, sautéed vegetables, collard greens. Service was spot on. We were pleased to discover that a few alcoholic drinks are offered in addition to beer and wine. Large dining room is airy and attractive. There is a small parking lot behind the restaurant, but other parking available near by. Staff very welcoming. Excellent value. Will definitely return.

Everything was amazing. Our server Mary was the absolute BEST!!! The food was ok but it was me trying new things. I took the recommendations do that’s on me. But I worked definitely go back.

Chef was able to accommodate my many food allergies and give me a Grand Tasting menu experience that was truly sensational. Made my remote worker holiday party the talk of my virtual office colleagues. The many recommendations to come here were spot on. My server Grayson was amazing. Overall an exceptional dining experience.
