Reviews for Southern Rail Restaurant in Phoenix, AZ
Eddie was a fantastic server. Knew the drink menu like the back of his hand. Very prompt and courteous. The food was... incredible, the flavors well blended and balanced. Will definitely return. Read more
Excellent food and atmosphere! Staff was very friendly and attentive despite the restaurant being almost completely full. Shrimp... and grits were very tasty, and although the portion size could probably be a bit bigger for this particular dish, I would stillhighly recommend it, because the grits were seasoned just right, and the shrimp was cooked to tender perfection. Fried chickenwas top notch: perfectly breaded and extremely juicy, definitely a crowd pleaser. The gumbo was good but a bit one-dimensional(would be nice to see a bit more variety in ingredients for this dish). Overall, discovering this restaurant was a greatexperience and I will definitely come back to try their other dishes. (Side note: it also seems like a classy place forcelebrations and other special occasions. The ambiance, decor, and drink selection are awesome, and several tables nearby werethere for birthdays. Everyone seemed to be having a great time!) Read more
I've eaten here once before , and returned to introduce this wonderful food to another person. The service was slow, but... efficient. The patio was actually full where the inside was sparsely populated, which added to the service time. The waiter wasknowledgeable and patient, and kept the flow of things, easy. I had the fried chicken, which is their sig.ature dish, and itdidn't disappoint! The chicken has that "crunch" while remaining juicy. The sides were perfect (mashed potatoes and"broccolini" - don't know what that is, but it tasted good lol), and the ambience was chill Read more
Went here with the friends and the atmosphere is great! Service is incredible!!! Food is not it at all... I got the dirty rice... balls, they were bland and lacking flavor. I got the Gumbo and it was more like beef stew with rice in it. Last I got thechicken, it looked amazing and I was ready to dive in, and was disappointed as well, the sides were on point but the chicken wasnot. Plating, presentation and service is A+, taste of the food is not. Read more
Amazing experience and gastronomic intelligence of Chef Beckett. This completely surprises me that this restaurant does not have... a james beard award, I'd even say with the presentation of the culinary expertise they serve, that Southern Rail Restaurantshould be a 1 Michelin star....easy ... amazing staff. Eye opening wine and whiskey list. True gem ???? ???? ???? Read more
Overall nice experience. The service was awesome. Very attentive. The food was tasty as well. The Dirty Rice balls were a... great app. The chicken was fresh and crispy. Large servings are also a plus! They were out of the greens, so I'm lookingforward to trying them on my next visit. Read more
Good. Fun atmosphere, decent drinks and v tasty / authentic fried chicken. We also got the shrimp and grits which were good.... Nothing else on the menu really jumped out so dunno if we will go back to try anything else. Read more
