The only downside to Okra is that they're not open for lunch. Seriously, this is such a great addition to an already rockin restaurant area on 7th street. Couldn't have had a better dining experience.
I made reservations through Yelp for dinner here during the week - super easy process that went off without a hitch BTW - and we were happy to see that they were ready for us to be seated right away upon arrival. My 2 out of town coworkers had no issues finding the place, despite the restaurant being in the back, but I missed the turn and ended up circling around. Plenty of parking out back though and such a wonderful rustic hip vibe inside. Loved it from the moment I walked in.
Our waiter was amazing - seemed genuinely excited about his job and getting to share this awesome food with us. I ordered a Okra Cup and an Old Fashioned - both under 10 bucks each for HH. The Chicken Skins and Dilly Beans were also on HH and amazing. I'm in love with picked anything and those Dilly Beans were the perfect bite to compliment a very rich fried skin and hot honey plate.
For our meals, my coworkers went for the Fried Chicken and Mash Potatoes and I did the Short Rib dish. I can't imagine a more melt-in-your-mouth bite than the Short Ribs. So good. Judging by the clean plates across the table from me, the chicken definitely hit the spot as well. Next time, I'll have to try the Pie, from Pie Snob but we went dessertless and just finished up our drinks to close out an awesome meal. Can't wait to go back, its everything you want in upscale Southern food. Mmmm!
