Haute South’s Make Ready Market location is expected to serve fried chicken, pimento queso, oysters, caviar and Gulf shrimp, according to Axios. A full bar and daily happy hour from 4 to 7 p.m. are also planned. FSR magazine reports that the specials include $1.50 single oysters, $3 Southerleigh Gold Lager, $4 El Perrito Margaritas and $9 Tsar Nicoulai caviar bumps.
The restaurant is moving from The Rim to Make Ready Market at 203 8th Street. Make Ready Market’s directions page places the food hall in River North, between downtown and the Pearl. Haute South is a sister concept to Southerleigh Fine Food & Brewery, Axios reports.
FSR reports that the current location will close November 15, 2026, and that the new one is expected to open in early December. Axios reports that Haute South has been at The Rim for six years. The move puts the Southern-inspired concept in a food-hall setting; FSR describes the new format as fast-casual and says the concept will continue to draw on Texas Gulf Coast flavors.
