Well having once lived in Alabama and Oklahoma I was expecting some old fashion southern cooking hence the name "Souther Rail" That was not the case. I started with the appetizer fried green tomatoes. The totatoes were small I felt like a giant eating them. Biting into them did not really taste the tomato as much as I did the crispy coating. I added 3 sugars into the sweet tea. As an entree I had the chicken and dumplings. It reminded me more of a soup with vegetables and bread.The broth was tasty but just missing the mark on sothern cooking for me. For desert had the coconut cake. It was tasty but a little bit dry. The resturant itself is beautiful and comfortable, but I was a little disappointed. I think there are a few things you just dont mess with and that is real southern cooking that looks and taste like someone's mother or grandmother made. I dont think I will return. I do hope you like it, but its not for me.
