read moreSouthern Rail is a mixed bag when it comes to reviews. While some customers found the service to be lacking and the food to be mediocre, others praised the delicious dishes and friendly service. The restaurant offers a limited menu but the food is top-notch, with standouts like the dirty rice balls and fried chicken. The atmosphere is praised as well, with live music adding to the ambiance. Despite some negatives like confused service and high prices, many customers plan to return for another visit. Overall, Southern Rail seems to have potential as a dining destination for those looking for Southern comfort food with a modern twist.
