17 Best Southern Restaurants near Cumming

“We ordered JnN catering for Glen Iris Elementary teacher appreciation. Our delivery lady was Zatiya F. and she was amazing. She set everything up and was so kind and courteous to the staff.“

“I want to recognize Assistant Manager Brook for the exceptional service she provided on September 11 at the Chicken Salad Chick in Cumming at The Collection at Forsyth.

I was hosting an important professional luncheon for 30 people and had experienced problems logging in to place my catering order the night before. When I tried again the next morning, the online system would not allow me to place the order because I was within the 12-hour catering window. I went directly to the restaurant extremely stressed and concerned that I would not have food for my meeting.

Brook could immediately see how concerned I was. She explained that catering orders normally require at least 12 hours' notice, but instead of simply telling me there was nothing she could do, she took ownership of the situation and found a solution. She personally assured me that they would take care of the order and have everything ready within about an hour and a half.

They did exactly that. My entire order was ready on time, beautifully prepared, and I was able to arrive at my luncheon as planned.

I work in healthcare and frequently host professional luncheons for physician practices and other healthcare organizations throughout the area, so I place large catering orders on a regular basis. Chicken Salad Chick is consistently one of the most requested and well-received lunch choices among the physician practices I visit. When I arrived with the food, the staff was genuinely excited to see Chicken Salad Chick, and they had nothing but praise for the food.

What impressed me most about this experience, however, was Brook. I have worked with many restaurants and catering teams, and her level of customer service truly stood out. She was incredibly kind, compassionate, reassuring, and professional at a moment when I was clearly very stressed.

Brook turned what could have been a disastrous situation into an outstanding experience. That is what going above and beyond for a customer looks like. I hope Chicken Salad Chick recognizes Brook for the exceptional service she provided. She is a tremendous asset to this location, and this experience gives me even more confidence in using them for future professional catering orders.“

“We got ribs, collard greens, brisket, Mac n cheese, and salad and were impressed. Agreed that we would eat there again!“

“The sausage biscuit would be much better if the patty was larger. Winds up being much more bread than meat.“

“I love this place but someone isn’t checking orders. I always get missing items when I order delivery, today I ordered DoorDash and couldn’t select bacon egg and cheese as an option so I ordered the toppings on the side and I received the biscuit but no toppings 🙁“

“Whoever is currently managing this branch is doing an outstanding management. This is the cleanest and delicious buffet restaurant in Cumming Forsyth County. Their steak is very tender and tasty. Their beef roast is phenomenal. They offer the best foods with affordable price. The staffs are very pleasant. And we love to comeback to this place multiple times. . It's all worth it!. Thank you to all staffs of Golden coral for serving us the freshest, yummiest and tastiest foods“

“I love Cracker Barrel and usually have breakfast or lunch twice a month. We had a party of 12 yesterday for Mother's Day lunch and they were pretty busy with a wait time which was expected (my daughter called ahead to let them know to expect us). Our server Greyson was awesome! She was upbeat, friendly, accommodating and very attentive. We had our food in a timely manner and enjoyed it while enjoying family time. Their Polywood rocking chairs are currently $30 off and I have been wanting one so I purchased one yesterday for my patio. Looking forward to my next visit!“

“Great experience tonight at Aqua Terra Bistro. Our server Woody provided exceptional service. The food was absolutely delicious. Everyone loved their selections. Portions were very generous and prices were relatively reasonable. We can't wait to come back!“

“Omg! Every time I’m here I love it more! Absolutely the BEST food, service, people. It’s all 10 stars! I used Suthern Cluck to cater a meal for 48 people (my son’s theater group) and it was raved about for weeks! They are the best at all they do and they do it with a superior execution! Chef’s kiss! 😘“

“The food definitely lives up to everything great that I’d read & seen on Facebook! The fried chicken was AMAZING, and so much food. LOVE that gravy! My husband seriously loved his shrimp and grits. It was my birthday, and the waiter brought me crème brûlée that we shared….YUM!! Best friendly waiter, and great atmosphere.“

“I stayed in the motel in the peach tree corners looking for something close so I wouldn’t have to deal with the Atlanta traffic since I was from down south with little to no traffic so I found this online 2 minutes walking distance from motel, the brisket platter was off the chain, would recommend to anyone , and the two servers that helped me, bartender and waitress was the best that I have encountered in a very long time, if I could leave 10 stars I would, definitely will be going back!!!!!!!!!!“

“It was busy and the staff was working hard and working together. The seating area was clean, drink station well-maintained and atmosphere made me comfortable as I dined solo.
I ordered my favorite, Jalepen̈o Holly on a croissant with a side of fruit. Everything was fresh and delicious. It was on of the best fruit cups I've had.“

“Outstanding food & service. 5 STARS or better yet, 6 STARS out of 5. We have a Thanksgiving feast of beef brisket, pulled chicken, turkey, Quarts of green beans, collards, sweet potato casserole, corn bread dressing, large cartons of gravy, red bbq sauce & white Morgan Co sauce, a pecan pie & chocolate pie, all of it delivered by the manager, Rachel.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4.5 / 5 I had a wonderful stay at the Atlanta Marriott Alpharetta. Overall, this is a great and surprisingly romantic hotel. Room service was quick and the food came out hot, and the bed was super comfortable. The barista downstairs also did a great job on my caramel iced coffee. There were a couple of small things that could be improved: the TV had a few noticeable spots on the screen, and the shower door is only a half-door, which means you have to actually step into the tub to turn the water on. I would definitely come back. The vibe, comfort, and service all made the stay worth it.“

“I won a gift card on the Bert show for South City kitchen and we had the absolute best restaurant experience ever, the food was amazing, our waiter was great, they treated us so good! We will definitely be back!“

“I was very impressed by this restaurant. Everything about it was outstanding The plate had so much food on it, carry outs Were needed. The waitress was awesome! This is my go and eat, spot now. I recommend this place.“

“Disappointed in the consistency. Every time I come with my daughter and get her a kids scoop, it is a different size, sometimes half a scoop and sometimes a whole scoop. I wish I knew more what to expect when I ordered the kids meal because otherwise I would just get her a regular combo to ensure a full sized scoop. Otherwise, we love this place.“
