Lucille's Smokehouse
Have the Appetizer Platter which has enough food for maybe four people -- Pork rib tips, onion straws, fried okra, fried green tomatoes, Dixie egg rolls, fried dill pickles, chicken strips and a tri tip quesadilla. OMG, those fried okra, fried green tomatoes, and maybe the best item, those fried dill pickles.

On a related question, where is a good place in Orange County to watch the race on Satuday? Perhaps someplace that serves mint juleps or burgoo soup.

Got a recent recco for either Memphis location -- perhaps better bet than Lucille's (I find theirs to be not very deftly made, tho I give them points for even going where most won't). Memphis has some southern dishes, but no burgoo.
You might call Iva Lee's in San Clemente about the burgoo... but I don't think they have a TV in their teensy bar. Worth a call.

I'll second (or third) Memphis. Best mint julep around.

Disneyland has good mint juleps...I forgot the name of the location, but it's near fried donut thingies served w/the sweet apple dipping thing. I think it's the place that has the live band every now and then.
