Fodor's Expert Review The Glass Onion

The Alabama roots of this eatery's chef-owner show in the classic Southern eats like deviled eggs, meat loaf, fried catfish po'boys, and overstuffed pimento-cheese sandwiches, along with sweets like bread pudding with whiskey sauce. The Saturday brunch is a must, with fluffy buttermilk biscuits and gravy and savory pork tamales. The meals are served on sheets of brown paper that drape over the restaurant's wooden tabletops, another clever touch.
