Best Southern American Restaurants in Melissa

Fantastic dinner! The chef came out to tell us they needed more time because he wanted to redo one of the meals and wanted to apologize but explain- We had outstanding service! Outstanding food!

There’s a really cool vibe at this place. Food was on point - don’t sleep on those fried pickles! And the drink menu is insane. I highly recommend the frozen margarita, comes in a fancy bottle and tastes delicious. Def would recommend!

Consistently one of the best food experiences in DFW. We always love taking family and friends for their first time. Excellent service for our large party and the food was well paced. The lamb rigatoni and the short rib (from the current menu) are amazing. And the gumbo is the best anywhere!

Great service, food and cocktail’s. We had the crispy brussels to start with, family favorite. My main was the bourbon peppercorn meatloaf was spot on and might be a new favorite.

My wife and I go to Wildwood weekly, usually for the Tuesday special of two complete dinners for $25. While the menu for the special is limited, all four choices are excellent. My wife is happy to have the pecan-crusted almost every time, but I have tried them all. The mashed potatoes are extraordinary - the best I've had anywhere. This visit we decided to try the steaks. We each ordered the filet for $37. It was easily comparable - perhaps even larger - than similar steaks costing more than $50 at high-end steak restaurants. The service is prompt, but not rushed, and the waiters are knowledgeable and friendly without being intrusive. Altogether, it is a delightful experience every time we go.
