I love comfort food and have spent a fortune at Threadgills and Hoovers. However, my money and my stomach will be found at Tony's Southern Comfort Restaurant.
I suggest the Seasoned Fries for an appetizer. They are very fried (how he does this with so little oil remains a mystery to me!) in a light and flavourful batter. Served in a basket with a large serving of the most wonderful chipolte sauce.
You'll find lots of home-cooked comfort foods on the menu to choose from, even chicken and waffles! There are lots of sides, incredible to-die-for cornbread and scrumptous desserts that I am sure are home made. I'll have to ask!
Tony's is a downtown institution but located two blocks away from the craziness of Sixth Street club scene.
Pros: Inexpensive, Roomy, Quiet
