55 South

We stopped by for a late lunch per the recommendation from our tour guide at the Carter House and are so thankful we took her suggestion! I had the Southern Smoked Brisket Reuben with sweet potato fries and my friend had the fried chicken plate with grits and sweet potato fries. All of it was simply amazing. My sandwich was very unique and full of flavor. I would eat it again in a heartbeat. The food was absolutely delicious and our server was very kind. She even recommended an ice cream place (Jeni's - don't miss it!! SO good!) before we left. This will definitely be on my list to visit again if I'm in the area!

We really enjoy this place. We’ve been here two Saturdays I. A row for a late lunch. The grilled oysters are my favorite even though they’ve looked different each time I’ve had them. Perhaps different cheeses or herbs were used, but with the same concept. I still loves it. The BBQ queso dip was great, but we didn’t enjoy the chips that came along with it. Not to worry, we packed the dip to go and had it at home with a great movie and the chips we like. We were also lucky to get window seats and enjoyed people watching while we are. The Restuarant does not take reservations, but the wait is short and the food domes out quick. We will probably be back next weekend for our weekly grilled oyster run.

Great bar. Fun environment. The fried pickles, oysters, and bag o shrimp are good appetizers. When it’s hot outside the bar area can get a little toasty, so prepare for that. It was a balmy 79 degrees on the bar thermostat when we were there. It was much more comfortable in the dining area, though. Overall, a good experience.

I went last night 1st time with my family and it was a great experience. I ordered the brisket tacos, unfortunately I wasn’t aware that they were spicy and I am very sensitive to any kind of spice. I wasn’t able to eat my meal. I explained to the server what was going on and he was so understanding about the situation. He resolved the issues immediately and even made sure my new dish that I choose was not spicy. I had the shrimp and grits without the hot sauce! And oh my it was delish!! Highly recommend the shrimp and grits!! Definitely try out this restaurant!
