Best of Boston

2014 Best Southern Restaurant

Estelle’s

In a Yankee town full of solid southern eats, Estelle’s has emerged as the area’s standard-bearer, quietly cranking out the same pitch-perfect style of updated regional fare (shrimp po’ boys with green-tomato-corn chow chow, smoked-chicken-liver deviled eggs) that you might find in a modern neighborhood spot in, say, Baton Rouge or Memphis.
