Best Southern American Restaurants in Near Southside

I can’t get enough of this place at all. Great food, Great environment, Great Everything. I will admit I went 2-13-25 and my food was amazing until I got my southern fried chicken and it was too salty. BUT, they brought out another fresh order quickly, and it was perfect. This place is literally perfect!

Amazing Food & Incredible Experience! From start to finish, this restaurant delivered an unforgettable dining experience. We kicked things off with the deviled eggs and gumbo, and as a self-proclaimed gumbo connoisseur, I can confidently say this was one of the best I’ve had in a long time—rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. For the main course, we went with a family staple: fried chicken. It was everything you want in fried chicken—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. The collard greens were packed with flavor, and the shrimp fried rice was a delicious surprise, full of bold and savory notes. To top it all off, my cousin and I enjoyed a few of their specialty cocktails, the Purple Rain was absolutely fantastic. Meeting the chef was a highlight; she was incredibly kind and accommodating, which made the experience even more special. Although I don’t live in Dallas, I’m already looking forward to coming back. If you’re a local or just visiting, this place is a must-try!

The cuisine is a delicious blend of Southern Comfort with a Southern Louisiana flare. If you haven't had the lobster & crawfish pot pie and are a fan of seafood then this will certainly not disappoint! The bar always does a fine job crafting our beverages and the service has always been warm and friendly. Do yourself a favor and grab the biscuit and pimiento cheese appetizers. While the bread that comes with the cheese may be delicious, do yourself a favor and try it on the biscuit with a tad bit of that honey for a delicious sweet & savory treat! Another plus is that this is adjacent to the base of the free parking garage elevator (on the AMC & Pinstripes side) so parking is typically not a deal breaker with making it to your reservation on time. The atmosphere is more of a business casual to special occasion type dress. If you're in your jeans and boots with a nice shirt on you're typically right on point with the rest of the crowd. Give Fixe a shot. I'm certain you won't be disappointed!

We had reservation for Feb 11th for a table of 13 (business meal). Everything from the service, our waitress Summer was amazing, to the food and location were absolutely phenomenal. The sous chef came out and checked on us a few times to ensure we were satisfied with our meals and service. This experience was a 10/10 and we will be back!

Great food and great service!! I love going to Whistle Britches whenever I’m in the Fort Worth area. Highly recommend!!!!
