Southern Restaurants near Palm Coast

“😁The campfire meals are the best, wish they were available year round. Had the beef last week for lunch and it was so tender and full of flavor! It was so yummy I forgave the fact the biscuits were missing from my order. 🏕 Campfire chicken and beef are the best!“

“DINNER REVIEW: THE SOUTHERN TABLE 501 S State St., Bunnell, FL 32110 With a week off from teaching theater classes at Matanzas High School, I’ve been doing some work at Flagler Playhouse and decided to walk somewhere for lunch today. Lucky for me—I randomly chose The Southern Table Restaurant. The Southern Table is exactly what I wanted it to be—a traditional diner-style restaurant just a few steps off US Highway 1, the type of place you see all over the southern states on road trips. The building was originally designed to be an Italian restaurant, so the clay tiled roof accents in the dining room do give it a bit more style than your average small town diner. It has a big front porch with outdoor tables where guests are welcome to enjoy their meal with their dogs in tow. The menu is extensive, and since I decided to write a review I chose to order something iconic: a country fried steak with macaroni & cheese and steak fries. The gravy on the steak is what makes it special, and the Southern Table nailed it—the gravy was perfect—creamy and savory without trying to be something it’s not. No one wants to eat a creative country fried steak: what we want is comfort and familiarity, and that’s what they serve at The Southern Table. Ma would have said “that plate needs some color!” so I added some ketchup to the steak fries. Perfect. There was a crowd in there for lunch, and the waitresses seemed to know everybody but me. Everyone was friendly without being up in my business. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves American food and small town businesses. Bring your dog.“
