As the weather grows cooler, one thing is for sure—your food should get warmer as the days get shorter. Soups, stews, and baked goods make for common autumn-into-winter fare but one cuisine, in particular, stands out as warmer than any other: home-cooked, Southern-style soul food. 

Southern Blues, a recent addition to Hanover, is no exception to that rule. Their offerings manage to be fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection simultaneously, whether you dine in or take your meal to go. From hush puppies and cornbread to collard greens and mac and cheese, you can enjoy all your soul food favorites just minutes from your front door. 

Though Southern Blues has only been in town a matter of weeks, it’s already making noise on the food scene. Early Yelp reviewers laud the homestyle restaurant’s candied yams, chicken wings, fried fish, and, naturally, BBQ wings. As user LaCretia B. writes of her visit, “Food was VERY delicious!”
