6 Best Southern Restaurants near Blue Ridge

“We enjoyed eating at Southern Charm on our trip to the mountains last week. Never had a bad meal there. My husband and I shared a catfish plate and a jumbo fried shrimp plate. The portions were huge and the food was as always hot and delicious. The prices were very reasonable also. The cheese grits were the best I’ve ever had. I am hoping the chef will please send me the recipe or at least tell me what cheeses were used. We almost came back the very next night to order the exact same thing.…but decided not to over indulge. We do love some fried catfish and shrimp though. We will definitely be back for more soon. The empty plates speak for themselves.“

“UPDATE 7/10/26
This was our third meal at Harvest On Main and it is still one of the top 3 best meals we’ve ever had. I was really wanting to try something new to let you all know if the other dishes are as good but I could not resist ordering the Bang Bang Salmon. The portions were huge and everything was cooked to absolute perfection. We will return in October and we promise to give another update and plan on trying the Trout. Let’s see if I can really try a new dish.

UPDATE 10/31/2025
We had lunch for the second time today and Harvest On Main did not disappoint! We couldn’t pass up having the Bang Bang Salmon again. It was actually just as good as the first time back in July. The Salmon was cooked to perfection and the seasoning and sauce are so good. We added some toasted bread to our order and that made the meal perfect. Our waitress today was Danielle and she was very attentive!

July 2025Great ambiance and even better food. We ordered the Sampler Platter which has a great variety. The only complaint was the hummus was a bit bland. We also both ordered the Salmon with rice and coleslaw. The portions were large and the flavors were wonderful. The waitstaff were attentive and helpful. We will definitely be back!!!“
