OpenTable Reveals the 50 Best Southern Restaurants for Extra Summer Sizzle
Restaurants Across 14 States and Washington, D.C. Turn Up the Heat on Favorite Southern Fare
With only 50 lazy, hazy days of summer remaining as of this week, OpenTable unveiled the 50 Best Southern Restaurants in America for 2018. Featuring restaurants across 14 states and Washington D.C., including ten in the South, the list evokes all the joys of summer picnic fare without having to break a sweat.While Southern states claim the most number of restaurants on the list, with Louisiana in the lead with eight, northern and mid-western states including New York, Philadelphia, and Illinois prove that Southern hospitality can take root anywhere. From Caf Dupont's famed fried chicken in Birmingham, Alabama and Antebellum's mouth-watering shrimp and grits in Flowery Branch, Georgia to Acadiana's soft shell crabs in Washington, D.C. and Maple Tree Inn's touffe in Blue Island, Illinois, diners don't have to venture too far this summer to find the best Southern fare near them. "OpenTable's list of the best Southern restaurants offers diners plenty of options to savor flavors that are strongly associated with warm summer days and balmy nights, although the honorees serve standout Southern fare year-round," said Caroline Potter, OpenTable's Chief Dining Officer. "While winning restaurants are sprinkled throughout the nation, spots in southern states rightfully dominate the list, which works as a handy guide for travelers who want to eat their way through the region." The 50 Best Southern Restaurants in America for 2018 list is generated solely from more than 12 million verified OpenTable diner reviews for more than 27,000 restaurants in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. collected between June 1, 2017 and May 31, 2018. All restaurants in the "Southern" cuisine category with a minimum "overall" score and number of qualifying reviews were included for consideration. Qualifying restaurants were then scored and sorted according to their overall food rating. Based on this methodology, the following restaurants, listed in alphabetical order, comprise the 50 Best Southern Restaurants in America for 2018 according to OpenTable diners. 50 Best Southern Restaurants in America for 2018 Abel Brown Ð Augusta, Georgia Acadiana Ð Washington, D.C.
