Best Southern American Restaurants in Highland

Georgia Brown’s in Washington, DC, provided an unforgettable dining experience. We visited for a double date with my husband’s twin brother and his wife, and the romantic atmosphere set the perfect tone. We had a 5:30 pm reservation and were seated promptly, even though we arrived five minutes early. Our waiter was attentive and offered great recommendations. The appetizers—deviled eggs and fried green tomatoes—were a pleasant surprise. I’m usually not a fan of fried green tomatoes, but these were perfectly breaded and fried. For the main course, I had the red snapper, which was served whole with the head on, perfectly seasoned, and the meat was light and flaky. My husband and brother-in-law enjoyed the lamb chops, which they said were cooked to perfection, and my sister-in-law praised the salmon. We also loved the fruit punch mocktail and peach cobbler for dessert. The combination of delicious food, cozy ambiance, and excellent service made for a memorable evening. My brother-in-law said I picked a great spot, and we’ll definitely be returning!

I made reservations with OpenTable during Valentin's Day weekend. We came in and got seated immediately. Our server was Alexa. She was phenominal with giving suggestions for drinks, food, and specials. I got the heavenly eggs, and my fiance got collard greens dip. Excellent. I went with the chicken and specialty waffle of the month, which was red velvet. Crispy, flaky waffle, not overbearing seasoned chicken, and give you the option of whitw or dark meat with you waffles. I also had a side of yams and macaroni & cheese. My fiance got banana pudding waffles and a side of lobster mac. Everything was delicious. We got the special dessert, which was the Strawberry Trifle. So good. Not overly sweet. 10/10 recommend. Now I have got to find the number for them to cater my wedding!

Food was amazing we got the Pan Seared Salmon and Cajun pasta and then the biscuit to start and literally everything was delicious and the service was great. We were seated quickly and received our food quickly

Oh my god. I was hesitant to go here at first because of a few negative reviews I read. But, I went and let me tell you, I’ll be going back. From start to finish, everything & everybody was fantastic. The food was delish; came out fast and it was hot; the waitress was attentive and friendly; the ambiance was 100. Can’t say enough good things about YardBird. I’m just glad i didn’t base my experience off of other reviews. Go! You won’t regret it.

Fabulous night! Our Waiter Trish was very welcoming, make us feel like home! She guide us through the menu very well and carefully for us to make the best experience. We have some wings, popcorn shrimp, with some extra dirty sauce, ( no to spicy for my taste ) but delicious. Tuna tartare and the Dirty fry chicken on point to enjoy it the southern taste. Kudos to Trish for take care of us and make our night unforgettable. Until next time! Thank you for the meal.
