Being in the South, you often find the food industry over-saturated with restaurants that claim to specialize in Southern food with a twist or Southern fusion. I've tried enough to say that Haberdish does it best. My friends and I stopped by before their grand opening night, and went family style with their sides of mac 'n cheese, kale grits, tater tots, charred okra (personal favorite) and kale salad. Everything was spectacular. We also ordered chicken tenders at $2/each, which were lightly fried and delightfully succulent.
If you're not in the mood for food, Haberdish also has a selection of craft cocktails and a cozy bar that reminds of The Coupe in DC. I highly recommend the Black Manhattan. If I remember correctly, the bartenders added cherry-vanilla bitters using a medicine dropper. Their recipes are precise, and their drinks are worth going for.
