I went to
The Little Darlin' (6507 Circle S Road, near the northeast intersection of South Congress and William Cannon) for the first time on Saturday night for a friend's birthday. I didn't intend to blog about it but the food was too good not to make a mention! I tend to take food pictures out of habit, so these were quick photos, in their natural environment, no food styling here. 😉

Confit pork jowl sliders that were only $3 each, and pimento cheese croquettes.
The pork on these was amazing, crispy and not a drop of grease, and the croquettes were nice and gooey inside. |

| Cheese board with selections from Antonelli's Cheese. |
 |
| Chili-stuffed cornbread in its own mini skillet and buffalo wings with blue cheese, both super tasty. |
 |
Mac + cheese with bone marrow and pickled mustard seeds and
a little neck clam special, in a killer cream sauce with sherry, bacon, and mushrooms. |
 |
| Fried fish (I think someone said it was redfish) with an amazing pesto that was almost pure basil. I wouldn't think to put fried fish and pesto together, but it really worked. I felt the fish could have been fried a little longer (or at a hotter temperature) to make it crispier, but it was still tasty. But that pesto was the star! |

Little Darlin' has parking, is dog-friendly, and child-friendly until 9 pm. The bar is inside along with some pool tables, and a huge outdoor area along with a stage on one side. Super-chill, not pretentious, and delicious food. Stir it up, little darlin'!
