Barbara Jean’s Southern Kitchen by Proper

Food was fantastic! Just back from 4 weeks in the south, and the fried green tomatoes and collared greens were better here than any other I had. Fried chicken and Mac and cheese were also fantastic. Staff was also very attentive. I was very impressed.

The black eyed peas and fried okra took me straight back to Louisiana. The fried green tomatoes took me straight back to Mississippi. The fried fish made me hear my Dad's voice in my memories. THANK YOU! Your food makes being so far away from home more bearable. Special thanks to your grandmother, Mrs Barbara Jean!

The food here is amazing! Hands down the best fried shrimp and fried chicken I've ever had. If you're looking for authentic southern food this is the place to go!

Four of us attended the soft opening and seven of us returned for a second visit. Although they are still ironing out service and ordering wrinkles (why we gave four stars instead of 5), the food is truly delicious! We have tried practically every thing on the menu - the catfish, fried chicken, gumbo, shrimp and grits, Mac n cheese, collard greens, black-eyed peas, candied yams, banana pudding (which comes in a mason jar) and the fried green tomatoes! Being from the South, we will be returning “home” every chance we get!

Phenomenal, truly authentic, high-end southern food. Recently attended the soft opening, and was SO impressed. I used to live in the South, and Barbara Jean's is as good as the food at the best restaurants in Charleston, SC or Atlanta. Can't wait to go back!!
