"The Southern is a steakhouse in SoBro with a pinch of Cajun flair. It leans more toward a tavern than a fancy steakhouse—the kind of place you visit with a small group of friends or come for a solo date at the bar. That being said, try and sit at that bar and catch a Preds game on one of the several flat screens posted up around the room. And because watching grown men beat the ever-loving tar out of each on ice skates can work up an appetite, start with a few oysters and a bowl of gumbo. Then, you can tack on the 21-day dry-aged strip steak with cracked peppercorn garlic butter or the Nudie Suit, a custom-cut steak served with french fries and grilled asparagus." - jackie gutierrez jones 2

"The name says it all — regionally-inspired steaks and oysters fill the menu at The Southern, which also boasts an impressive downtown patio. The daily selection of fresh oysters is available for either lunch or dinner, but the menu varies between meat and three-style meals during the day and hearty southern entrees like fish n’ grits or steaks for dinner." - Kellie Walton
"I sampled locals’ favorite downtown classics brought to BNA—deviled eggs dripping with Louisiana hot sauce, barbecued shrimp, chicken with collards and country ham gravy, and of course steak and oysters." - Eater Staff
