Prattville’s Best Restaurant: 243 South brings steakhouse energy
$$$$$ | MAP | WEBSITE | INSTAGRAM
243 South is the downtown place that gets tapped for birthdays and visiting-family dinners, with a menu that keeps one foot in Alabama and the other in cocktail-bar habits. Start with pimento cheese made with white cheddar and jalapeño on Gambino bread, then add the fried green tomatoes with feta, cherry tomatoes, Conecuh sausage, and remoulade.
The crab claws are a headline dish, with the sautéed version served in Cajun lemon butter cream sauce, and the kitchen is led by chef Jeremy Johnson. —Rebecca Thompson
