    Southern Steakhouse

    Smoke announces this Plaza Midwood restaurant before you arrive. Set in a restored church with an oversized wood-fired range as its centerpiece, the kitchen roasts prime meat and fish over embers while composing inventive sides that merit equal scrutiny. Everything arrives family-style, meant to be passed around the table and divided among spoons.

Pork belly dumplings with shiso sit alongside pan-roasted scallops from the Outer Banks; jalapeño cornbread waffles have anchored the menu since opening. The dining room matches the plates—unfussy, alive to what's fresh.

  51. Rank 51. Little Mama's

    Italian

    At Little Mama's, watch mozzarella being stretched behind the counter while you settle into a booth or perch at the bar. The kitchen builds each dish from fundamentals—house-made cheese, fresh pasta, wood-fired pizza—with the restraint of someone who knows that a few good ingredients need no embellishment. It's the kind of place that makes you wish you had a grandmother who cooked like this.

    Southern

    In NoDa's repurposed mill district, Haberdish marries industrial bones with Southern comfort food, all best observed from the counter with a draft beer in hand. The devilled eggs and crispy fried chicken anchor a menu of homemade sides and house-made desserts that justify the pilgrimage.

Book a booth and expect the kind of place that feels less like a restaurant and more like someone's extended table.
