South of Beale Restaurant Review

: South of Beale (or S.O.B. as it is affectionately known) is located several blocks south of the tourist-driven Beale Street entertainment district. But there’s no live blues here, just gourmet grub and tasty microbrews. Dressed-up comfort foods include a smothered chicken sandwich (pulled herbed chicken, fried chicken skin, and garlic aïoli) or fish ‘n’ chips. Some dishes are offered seasonally, but the SOB Burger, loaded high with Gruyère, caramelized onions and fried pickles, is a fixture, and is served with Cajun potatoes. Accompanying the generous happy hour drink specials are plenty of small bites for noshing, such as fried avocados with olive tapenade and pulled pork egg rolls. Dining late? There’s the bacon bar pie and hummus with grilled pita, served after 10 p.m. Sunday brunch selections may be among the most unusual in town---a fried avocado and egg sandwich, and crawfish Benedict. The wine list offers every available selection by the glass, another comforting notion. For dessert, the Jack ‘n’ Coke pairs Jack Daniels ice cream with Coca-Cola bread pudding.
