18 Best Southern Restaurants in Phoenix

“Gr8 food @ gr8 PRICES! If u don't feel like cooking in this heat- go 2 Southern Fried! 👌🏾💯✊🏿“

“Fried chicken skin & hush puppies as appetizers followed by BBQ Shrimp & Grits w/ side of black eyed peas with rice. Two in our party enjoyed the Hanger Steak and sautéed veggies.😋 Although not quite like our experience in New Orleans the chef still ‘brought it’! We will be back! 👍💯“

“This place is a total hidden gem with a warm welcome, cozy counter seating and a great vibe from the moment you walk in. The catfish, greens, mac and cheese and cornbread were all packed with flavor and made fresh to order, easily worth the short wait and a must stop anytime I am in Phoenix.“

“Google Maps said this was a restaurant that was open late. And that's true, but it's also the restaurant for a hotel, so if you come by, you should know that.

The tacos and house salad were good, if a bit pricey. If you're coming in late looking for a meal, though, I recommend it.

The staff was nice and friendly as well.“

“Great atmosphere and fantastic tasty food! Service always with a smile.“

“I was skeptical at first but the chicken was great the greens and baked beans weren’t my favorite on flavor side but they’re super good if you fix it up a bit or I recommend the snack combo if you just want the chicken and add a extra piece (edit: forgot to add the chocolate pie was amazing)“

“From the second we walked in, we were greeted as we were family coming over for dinner, and the smell was soooo good!! The food was even better!! We had the ribs, chicken, and brisket, sides were baked beans and yams… MY GOODNESS!! 10/10!! Must try!!“

“The chicken sandwiches were absolutely fantastic and the warm sweet potato pie with ice cream was the best treat. 10/10 recommend“

“Simply the very best! We will be back soon! thanks again“

“I'll be back 👍🏽 yummy yummy“

“Looking for a place to eat after traveling to Scottsdale from Sedona. Goggled and found this place. Great choice! Delicious Q, good prices, staff was fantastic!! Highly recommend!“

“Fall off the bone ribs! Original Sauce is fantastic. I'd definitely go again!“

“Lolo’s Chicken and Waffles is always one of my go-to spots when I’m in Arizona and craving some real soul food. The food here consistently delivers. The biscuits and gravy are unbelievable, the cheese eggs are fantastic, and this time we also had the chicken gizzards and catfish bites, which were both excellent. It looks like they’ve remodeled since my last visit, or maybe it’s just been a few years, but the place has a slightly different vibe now. There’s even a DJ booth, which isn’t a bad idea, except the DJ mostly sat on his phone the entire time while a pre-made playlist ran. Not like I’m making requests at a breakfast spot, but it does affect the overall ambiance a bit. That said, the food is still some of the best soul food I’ve had in Arizona, and I’ll definitely keep coming back.“

“Highly recommend this restaurant! The staff was amazing and the food was delicious. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ you must try the Mac and cheese, collard greens and corn bread 🤤🔥🔥🔥“

“The food and the ambiance were second to none!“

“The food was delicious. Seasoned well and meat was to the bone delicious. I had catfish, green beans and potatoes, cabbage and cornbread. My mom had the BBQ rib tips and my little girl had the fried chicken with Cole slaw and Mac and cheese. I do recommend. Now if you are used to bland food, this place isn’t for you.“
