"Southern National offers incredible takes on old-school soul food classics with just a touch of youthful invention. Chicken arrives crispy and juicy with a hint of berbere spice, and the acidity of the cucumber slaw cuts through the sticky-sweetness of the Asian BBQ baby back ribs. But it all starts with the bread—deliciously savory jalapeño johnny cakes and the crispy outside, soft inside sheet pan biscuits with a bit of sweet. The spacious Summerhill restaurant is never too crowded, so it feels like you're in on a secret—it’s the spot for a laid-back date night or for just hanging out with friends." - nina reeder, jacinta howard, juli horsford
