| - Dish has been one of my go-to restaurants since it opened. The atmosphere is fun and funky. The staff are helpful and attentive. The food is almost uniformly good across a broad array of southern favorites and very reasonably priced.
I'll just list some of my favorites. I have three most common orders. The first is the chicken and dumplings, which is mostly big shreds of white meat chicken in a thick gravy with dumplings. It comes with two sides, a deviled egg, and a biscuit (lightly brushed with honey butter and DELICIOUS - now I'm drooling). My second is the chicken livers (also with two sides, egg, and a biscuit). The livers are dusted in cornmeal and cooked on the griddle with skewers. They normally come with a remoulade, but I prefer the beef gravy, which they happily provide. My last favorite is the cajun meatloaf, which comes with mashed potatoes, brown gravy, and a spicy catchup top.
They have a significant section for vegetarians, including a spinach salad with a smoked, sun-dried tomato vinaigrette that you would swear has bacon in it, a burger, a burrito, a quesadilla, soups, and the infamous veggie plate. Their selection of veggies is quite extensive, and thankfully avoids gratuitous meat. My favorites are the squash casserole (onions, cheese, breadcrumbs baked with big squash chunks), carrots (sweet and tender), and whatever smoky vegetable they may have on special.
If you are looking for someplace comfortable, filling, satisfying, and unpretentious, Dish will probably fit the bill.
