Steakhouse
Billed as a modern Southern steakhouse, Deacon’s New South will feature a prominent dry-aging room and an exposed kitchen setting with a wood fire grill, as well as two bars, an eclectic lounge and a private area that can be reserved for large parties. Though it was built in the 1950s, the building’s art-deco influences — such as brass and copper details and bold architectural patterns — will be incorporated into the sleek, industrial design of Deacon’s.

    Best pork chop ever! Grilled nicely with superb sauce. Chedder bread comes a bit dry, not great, but huge portion.

    Dinner was fantastic! We ordered the filets, smashed potatoes, collard greens and fried green tomatoes for an appetizer. The flourless chocolate cake was amazing and a plus for a Birthday dessert!

    This is an outstanding steakhouse with fantastic service, but was generally mediocre to poor on the non steak items. My salmon was over cooked; my friend’s eggplant entree was undercooked. The fried green tomatoes and shrimp apps were excellent but side dishes were disappointing (cloyingly sweet carrots, mushrooms were done nicely but had a peculiar vinegary sauce, and bland fingerling potatoes that were oily and slightly overdone.) Our waitress made the experience an enjoyable one but we won’t be back for the food.

    Had the porterhouse, corn bread and mushrooms. All very tasty and well cooked. Their house wine “deacon cab” was really good! It’s not cheap but I recommend this place for sure !

    From the moment my husband and I walked in for our ten year anniversary dinner, the staff was nothing short of amazing. Abbie was our waiter and she was top notch; coincidentally her father attended a college in IN near our hometown. We would have not known that had she not been so charming and chatty! She went above and beyond taking care of us. The food was EXCELLENT, the ambiance was divine, and the service was impeccable. I would highly recommend Deacon’s New South to family and friends wanting to celebrate over top quality cuisine. Hope to go back for our twenty year!

    Food was great but very expensive. Server seemed to go out of her way to try to upcharge us (if the cost of the wine is going from $11 to $26 a glass, she should say that). She would have gotten a bigger tip if she hadn't done that. Also, weird that there were only reservations available at 5:30 or 8:15, but when we left at 6:30, the place was less than half full. Seems like they want to make it look more in demand than it is, but it ends up inconveniencing people who want to try it. We won't be back.

    Our waitress, Adrian was outstanding. Very knowledgable about the food. Pleasant to accommodate us and was never overbearing asking for things. She seemed to know when we needed a refill and when to let us visit with friends. The fried green tomatoes were delish as well as the shrimp and fish. Will highly recommend to friends in the area and we will be back!

    We had a great night at Deacon’s. Our service was great! Very knowledgeable and honest. She had obviously tried everything on the menu and steered us in the right direction on several choices. We had the cornbread appetizer, shared a bone in ribeye, Mac and cheese, succotash, and chocolate cake. Everything was fantastic!!!steak was cooked perfect. The bone marrow crust was delicious! The cost was on par with the food. I had a couple drinks with dinner and they comped the dessert. Bill was $180 4/5 stars. Would need a great view for the 5th star. Overall we will be back.

    It was a wonderful first impression. The drinks were tastefully balanced, we ordered several appetizers (Sticky Duck Drumettes, Fried Green Tomatoes, and the Honey Cornbread), and they were all delicious. The entrees (steaks of course) , were perfectly prepared and and seasoned. They were SOO good ! But best of all, our server Margaret, was a true gem. She was very kind, attentive, and warm. Thank you for a wonderful night !

    The steak was perfection! My husband got the bone marrow crust and really liked that addition to his steak. Sharable smash potatoes were so good! The cornbread is the reason for the 4 stars. It was overcooked and very dry.
