South Of Beale Restaurant

The popcorn that they give you upon seating is divine! Very well seasoned and very easy to make vanish before you realize how much of it you ate! lol We ordered the chicken bao and an SOB burger for each of us. The burger was pretty good, and the server explained the sauce as “basically Big Mac sauce”, which seemed correct. The bao was interesting. I think between the kimchi, pickles, and hot sauce there was bit too much acid. The chicken needed salt which could easily be solved with a brine. It also needs some sort of fatty component to cut through all the sharper components. I also thought the kimchi could have fermented a bit longer. It was still kinda dense. I forgot to snag a photo before we took them off the plate so there’s only one in the picture but it comes with three 😂 Overall, good place and we’ll probably stop by again.

Such a creative menu. Got the General Tso cauliflower, the bao bun chicken, and the duck patty melt. And oh those homemade and seasoned fries!!! It was all outstanding and the popcorn they brought to the table for us to have was soooooo good! We were vacationing and only wish we lived closer so that we could return to try more!!!

Would give this place 4.5 stars if I could. Food is always good, service is good. Just has very little character, feels very cookie cutter. If you're looking for a safe bet for good food and good service, SOB is a great option. If you're looking for a fun, interesting dining experience consider other options.

Atmosphere is chill music playing but you can still have a conversation. Service was excellent (Hugo). The Duck Rice was delish if just a touch salty. Husband got the Lola Bowl and what I tasted was VERY YUMMY. I got the Curry Bowl…if I was at home I would have licked the plate clean 😜. It was SO FLAVORFUL. The Wise Old Sage cocktail is 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽if you enjoy tequila. Would love to visit again if we have the time.

SOB! BUSTIN’! I ate here for the first time as I was lowkey celebrating a personal accomplishment. THIS STEAK WAS FIRE! Their special “SOB” sauce was FIRE! The mashed potatoes…. WAS FIRE! The bartender CHAYSE….. WAS FIRE! The whole staff was fire. I can’t make this up. I definitely Recommend people come here. So GO! And tell them K.Le DaVincci sent you. If you’ve read my reviews before… you know I don’t hold back. THIS PLACE IS/WAS FIRE.

SOB Downtown was a great place for dinner. We had a private dining experience which we were treated like royalty. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and provided the best recommendations for our meals. Our appetizers were absolutely delicious and could have been the main course. The Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls and General Tso Cauliflower are a must have. The complimentary popcorn can get you into trouble as well because it is seasoned. You want to eat it all. The main course was delicious as well. I had the Salmon with seasonal vegetables. Seasoning and flavor was just right and delicious. I definitely recommend SOB Downtown as an option off the path of Beale Street and along the charming historic downtown path. You can even see a trolley car pass along.
