Southern restaurant (US) · Washington Avenue

"At Ronnie Killen’s newest Southern comfort-style concept, the menu draws from the chef’s childhood with his family, which itself makes the place feel warm, homey and comfortable. There are classic plates “like mom used to make” — but in this case Ronnie Killen helms the kitchen — so fried green tomatoes are splashed with buttermilk sauce and pickled shrimp, deviled eggs are garnished with pulled pork, the meatloaf is pretty, and knocking out the 16 oz chicken fried steak with gravy on your own is a feat. Visit ronniekillen.com to order." - Megha McSwain
