Southern Food with a Flair

[2cooks5eaters]

Looking for Southern Food with a Flair for $20-30 per entree in Metro DC. Any suggestions?

I would add Majestic, I haven't been in a while, but I am sure you could search here for a more recent report, they are definitely in this category, great food, good service and very nice atmosphere.

B. Smith, Georgia Brown's and Acadiana (more creole/cajun) all fit the bill.

I'd recommend Acadiana out of all 3, but i'm more of a down home Southern/Soul/Cajun/Creole food person.

I've been to Acadiana. It was okay..but maybe I ordered the wrong thing. Do you remember what your enjoyed at Acadiana?

I really enjoyed the deviled eggs, the bbq shrimp and their delicious biscuits.

Another place that might be more in your price range is Creme.

Second Creme; it's closer to the bottom of that range, cute space, fun atmosphere. My companion claimed the shrimps/grits/smoked sausage were beyond words; even the vegetarian plate o' the day was pretty darn good. Riffs on southern food without being ridiculous.

Thanks everyone. This catagory seems to be limited but I checked Creme's website and it looks like it may be the spot for our southern dinner with a flair.

Make sure to get the coconut cake for dessert if it's being offered. It's amazing!!!

I third Creme! YESSSS to the coconut cake (which Elyssa thankfully alerted me to) and the mushroom appetizer is de-lish.

Yeah I felt the same about Acadiana too. It was good, but I was expecting a lot more flavor, especially from creole/cajun cuisine.

I think that's supposed to be Vidalia's niche except: 1) they are pushing the upper end of your price point; and 2) personally I've never felt it lived up to the price/hype. The few times I've been I was underwhelmed.
