16 Best Southern Restaurants near Westerville

“1st time here, went inside and cashier Lilli was the best! She gave me recommendations, suggested the mac & cheese and she was correct that it was delicious! The plain chicken salad on a croissant was delicious as well!It was clean inside, the staff was courteous and all the food that I saw (other patrons) looked appetizing!My only critique (not criticism) would be to put a little more chicken salad on the croissant (a little too much empty space around the edges of the bread), but not a dealbreaker!I will definitely be a repeat customer here!“

“If you like BBQ just skip this review and go there. However dont expext an inside sit down place.... it isnt a dine in restaurant. Its a cute shack you walk up/drive up to and order from. No inside tables. They have created a grassy park area with five tables, so you can eat there... but we always carry away and eat at home. They have brisket, pulled pork, chopped pork, smoked sausage links, and jerk chicken sandwiches, cauliflower burnt ends, ribs and wings on sat/sun. They have lots of sides and the best cole slaw! Oh there is something else....Im forgetting something. There is one more thing... oh RayRays brownie. Yum. We placed a take out order and live about 15 min away. Smelling it for 15 minutes made me sooooo hungry I completely forgot to take pictures. Nom nom nom. Sorry. We ordered a brisket sammy and a jerk sammy. Both had SO MUCH meat. Tasted great. Worth the price. Worth the trip. The jerk sandwich is made with chicken thighs. They stack two on top of each other. Its a LOT of meat and it is seasoned so nicely. The bun--I have t seen any like it in the local markets. In think its an onion bun. They must get a baker to make them. It adds to the sandwich. Good choice RayRay! Oh and RayRays gave me a pup cup full of brisket for my doggo who sat outside sniffing all the smells. Thank you so, thoughtful. Loki the tiny dog says it was delicious. He didnt save any for his brother. Mo was sad. Just go. I dont say that too often. Its really worth it. Yum. @rayrayshogpit“

“I ordered dinner online on a recent Sunday evening for my wife and I. The pickup time was posted as 15 minutes from when I ordered via the app on my phone and it was ready as promised when I showed up at the store. The portions were generous and the chicken was delicious! This location is convenient for me as I previously have traveled to Easton to get my HCT fix. I'll order from Gahanna again!“

“Had a great lunch with my hubby - enjoyed EVERYTHING we ordered. Decided to make them my “Graduation Party Catering Menu Provider”. Lots of variety in flavors at a very reasonable cost! Staff was very accommodating and helpful with suggestions. Give them a try! I’m writing this about 5 hours after my visit, and NOW wishing I had brought home another serving of the Kickin’ Kay Lynne chicken salad I had at lunch!“

“My family had JD’s today and everything was hot and delicious! My son said the all beef hot dog was BUSSIN! Lol but seriously the whole wings were crispy and flavorful. The macaroni was cheesy and the baked beans were just right (lots of flavor and just enough sweet. We also order some whiting and it was crispy and flavorful. All the staff were welcoming and nice. I wish I took a photo but I was too hungry. Closed Monday and Tuesday FYI. Anywho check them out!“

“Awesome service and the food was excellent at the Lewis Center location. The place was really clean and inviting also they have expanded their menu. The mac and cheeseas well as baked beans were great. Please visit you will not be disappointed!“

“The “Hot” wasn’t crazy hot but it was definitely good! I’ll go a level up next time!“

“The food here is amazing, I wish they would bring back the fried cauliflower because that meal was always great. I've been a few times and everyone seems to love the fried chicken, I cannot get enough of their broccoli which I know sounds odd but they put a flavorful sauce on it. Their biscuits are great and the potato cracklins are nice and crispVegetarian options: They now have a quinoa bowl that is delicious and they have some vegetarian sides and appetizers, be aware though alot of the fried foods are cooked in the same oil as the chicken“

“Great food and amazing portions.“

“The Best Fried Chicken in the Town. Tastes amazingly Hot. They changed the Menu and have added a few more Items, Sandwich and Nuggets.Plant based Veggie options are available, so Vegetarians now Taste the Hot flavors. Banana pudding is delicious too.They have the Best Sweet Tea, which is supposedly Free and is now Charged. I hope they bring back the signature Free Tea again. Because, No Free Tea means, this is just like any other Fried Ckn Joint in the Town. Also, please add some Vibrance to the Atmosphere. Staff here are Super Duper Friendly.Vegetarian options: Plant based Nuggets can give u the same Hot Flavor as the Non Vegetarians enjoy.“

“Our server was friendly and it was nice interacting with her while we placed our orders. She came back around and my friend asked for something, I forget what. Always smiling while accommodating us. She's an asset to Cracker Barrel.Vegetarian options: Didn't look for vegetarian offerings.Dietary restrictions: We didn't have any.Parking: Large lot. We try to get a handicapped spot or as close to them as possible.Kid-friendliness: There was a little girl at another table. Their waitress talked to her and made her laugh.Wheelchair accessibility: If you can park out front there is a ramp up to the front porch. There are a number of handicapped spots but they fill up quickly.“
