25 Best Southern Restaurants near Pelham

“This is good old, down home, Cajun cooking. The seafood is fresh and served up hot, the po boys and muffulettas are tasty, and the beer is good and cold.“

“Had only visited this location once a couple of years ago when it first opened & was not impressed with food quality....decided to drop in to see how things are now & was pleasantly surprised. We arrived for a late lunch & noted very few patrons in dining room. Our server, Ian, was friendly & attentive. We enjoyed the fried catfish ( farmed in Mississippi!) and the New Orleans style crab claws in a savory broth. Side salad was fresh & appetizing. The fried okra was some if not the best I've had locally. We also opted for take home desserts....lemon blueberry cheesecake & the bread pudding....both were very good. Looking forward to dining here again! Service was excellent as well.“

“Kudo's to this Full Moon BBQ place in Pelham. To us it is the best of all of them and we have tried a number of them in our area. Generous food portions, delicious BBQ- hot and ready to go for us. This customer experience was very pleasing. I hope they can keep it up!“

“This is one of our favorite places for lunch. I always get the baby blue salad with a scoop of chicken salad and it’s perfect every time! My husband came with me on Friday and got the burger; it was delicious! The place is clean, the food is great and the people are friendly. We love Ashley Mac’s!“

“My favorite Ashley Mac’s meal is the pimento grilled cheese (topped with poppy’s pickles), broccoli slaw, and a slice of strawberry cake. It always hits the spot! I also love that I can order ahead online to avoid a longer wait time during busy hours.“

“We love This Place ! We get just as Excited yearly bout Biscuit Belly as Sec Tournament! Everything is Amazing!! Owners are like Family Amber n Scott Garrett“

“Everything is made from scratch, I highly recommend marbled beef brisket, ribs and the best catfish!!!“

“Food is really good!!!! The ‘harassment’ of being asked about tipping when it is just a pick up order—-over the top😒. And not a drive up pick up order—-asking for a tip because you took the money and handed the bag over the counter—😱🤔😬🫣. Ridiculous!“

“Food is good. Takes a while to get it because its cooked fresh. Servers are lacking. Had to get own menus, utensils. Asking for something took a while to get and they would forget. Not real friendly. That's just out of 2 all there, maybe it was bads days for them... we all have them.“

“Gotta say a big thank you to Jim ‘n Nick’s BBQ in Athens, GA. I drove through there, hoping to get the awesome sounding baked potato that is described on their menu. After ordering my kiddo’s chicken fingers, I asked for the potato only to be told they had run out of them for the night. 😞 when I pulled up to pick up our food,  the chef (Matt) had found out that I had really wanted a potato and so he gave me one for free. That makes potato might’ve been part of his employee meal he was taking home. I don’t know but that gentleman made my night.  by the way, the potato is very good, but the service was even better!“

“I was expecting to pay $50-$60 bucks for a decent seafood bag. I had a boil bag DELIVERED for $42 and i picked 3 meats! It was almost two pounds and was fresh and delicious. There flavors we spot on. I strongly recommend the crawfish in your bag they were 5-star worthy. I will definitely order from here again“

“I made a trip of 20 miles just to get family loaded baker potatoes and my lick they were out and wait time was 30 mins. Well I waited and when they were ready a young lady came out and let me know. Can’t complain about service. And Im glad I waited, it was worth it. Even though I forgot my sons corn on cob he forgave me.“

“Thank you so much to the young lady that just made my granddaughters day . Something she will remember for a long time.“

“Great food and service.“

“I had an issue with my pick up order left a review. They called the next day and the manager was absolutely amazing at correcting the issue and making it right! Definitely the best customer service I have had from a restaurant in a long time!“

“10/10 recommend. We had the best experience here. The food was all perfect, but the staff made the difference. Particularly FOH member Don and waitress Stephanie. Above and beyond.“

“Such great BBQ. After a week of vacation eating at various restaurants, it was nice to have a great meal with great service. We'll be back from Northern Indiana on our next vacation down south.“
