8 Best Southern Restaurants in Columbus

“The waiter Montana for sure!!“

“very good food am defiantly going with the fam again.“

“Amazing from start to finish. Love the atmosphere, excellent server - when she couldn't answer my husband about the steak she got the owner who completely won my husband the skeptic over! This place honestly was the best food in town and we went back the next night and took our son who just turned green at Fort Benning. My son said it was the best steak he had ever eaten in his life. First night I had shrimp and grits that were amazing but had steak the second night and was blown away by the deliciousness. What a great restaurant! Highly recommend!“

“The Loft is the #1 spot for live music in Columbus. They offer a variety of music on a few different stages and have excellent sound equipment and technicians. They are also known for exceptional staff and service. It is a staple in the southern music scene, and the owner has been providing top notch entertainment nonstop since the 1990's.“

“We are from Ohio and are down visiting family. They brought us to Minnie’s for lunch. The food was amazing!!! Fabulous customer service!“

“Not from Columbus so wasn’t sure of where to eat so we stumbled upon this jewel. The waitress was such a sweet young lady and was very attentive. The fried green tomatoes were excellent along with my pesto & shrimp pasta and my husband’s pecan crusted salmon. Also couldn’t resist the red velvet cake! Would definitely recommend and return when in the area.“

“Great food and wonderful staff 💕“

“Great food and great service. A little pricey. We tried the new Southern burger and the Turkey sandwich with a baked potato...the baked potato was actually baked and not half baked like many restaurants. We tried their Carolina sauce and Alabama white; both were on point. Next visit (yes, there will a next) will be sampling of their shredded pork, ribs, or brisket. If they can get the simple things right, can't wait to taste the actual BBQ meats.“
