Southern Rail Restaurant

I've eaten here once before , and returned to introduce this wonderful food to another person. The service was slow, but efficient. The patio was actually full where the inside was sparsely populated, which added to the service time. The waiter was knowledgeable and patient, and kept the flow of things, easy. I had the fried chicken, which is their sig.ature dish, and it didn't disappoint! The chicken has that "crunch" while remaining juicy. The sides were perfect (mashed potatoes and "broccolini" - don't know what that is, but it tasted good lol), and the ambience was chill

I may be biased as I'm from the South, but this place is outstanding! First and foremost the people are super friendly and accommodating! We came for our Anniversary and treated like royalty! Food is cooked perfect and portions are large. Collared Greens are amazing! Fried Chicken is delicious and you get half the chicken pretty much! I'm very picky with my shrimp and grits (remember I'm from the South)... these were great, not the best I've had, but really enjoyed it... they don't skimp on the shrimp, they don't under serve... great taste and they add a bit of spice, which I like. Highly recommend this place for the food and outstanding people working!

Southern Rail has been a favorite of ours for years and is consistently excellent. We finally were back for date night dinner again yesterday and enjoyed the deviled eggs, fried green tomatoes with spicy pimento cheese and the fantastic fried chicken, mashed potatoes & greens done just right. Service was excellent (thanks Amber!). Great cocktails, whiskey selection & a big selection of excellent local AZ wines. Hint: unless you’re super hungry, one of the generous plates of the chicken is enough for a couple especially if you are starting with a yummy assortment of the appetizers. Go & enjoy delicious comfort food!
