My meal at Bell’s was another comped experience for local Instagrammers. Family owned and operated, this rustic, yet hip spot features plenty of comfortable booths and table seating with a view into the kitchen. Order at the counter and wait for your food to come to you. The standouts from our meal were catfish beautifully… Continue reading Bell’s BBQ

Chow
Chinese food. Southern food. Not exactly a match made in heaven, but they make it work at Chef Natalie Young’s second restaurant. Never one to follow the norm, Chef Nat’s concept of a having a lunch and dinner spot serving two distinct cuisines, recently celebrated it’s one-year anniversary. If the food I tried is indicative… Continue reading Chow
Salt ‘N Pepper Southern Comfort Bar and Grill
***Update: business closed*** Quickly taking over the short lived Tapas, Alex Stratta may have come up with a concept with more staying power than its predecessor. Serving up classic American fare/southern comfort food, this new spot addresses Tapas’s two biggest issues: price and portion size. Entrees here are all under $20 and portions for not… Continue reading Salt ‘N Pepper Southern Comfort Bar and Grill
Pot Liquor CAS
I had such high hopes for this spot in Town Square. Named after the southern term for the liquid left behind after boiling greens such as collar, mustard and turnip greens, Flip Arbelaez and chef Doug Bell opened Pot Liquor just over a year ago. Unlike other barbecue places, this isn’t region specific, instead bringing… Continue reading Pot Liquor CAS
Yardbird Southern Table & Bar

Since then I’ve had my share of southern dishes, but a recent trip to Yardbird in the Palazzo/Venetian for a friend’s birthday has given me an even greater appreciation for the cuisine. Their version of chicken and waffles… Continue reading Yardbird Southern Table & Bar
Billy’s BBQ
***Update: business closed*** Despite only being open a few months I think Billy’s BBQ has already outlasted the previous tenants, Manhattan Fish Grill. The space is set up as fast-casual restaurant — order at the counter, grab a seat, and they’ll bring the food to you. My two trips here have been for take out.… Continue reading Billy’s BBQ
Bobby Q Grille
No trip to Bobby Q Grille is complete without trying their ribs. It’s the best thing I’ve tried so far and possibly some of the best ribs in the city. That might not be saying much since Vegas isn’t know for it’s BBQ, but it’s still delicious with it’s slightly charred exterior and fall-off-the-bone tender… Continue reading Bobby Q Grille
Dixies On Grand
It’s sad when the best thing you can say about a restaurant is that the waitress had a good personality. The second best thing was the nachos. That’s never a good sign for a barbecue place. Our group of eight dined at Dixie’s on Grand, located in St. Paul, MN on a Thursday night and… Continue reading Dixies On Grand
