50 Best Southern Restaurants near Lilburn

“We visited this restaurant at the invitation of one of the customers of SWC Contracting, We were not let down. The food was made with a tasty southern flair and each dish had my taste buds wondering what could be better than the last bite. We arrived about 6:30pm it was a little busy but not crowded and we were seated straight away by our waitress Tabitha, Her personality was bubbly and refreshing. We had our drinks and first dishes out within 7 minutes of our order. I can't say enough about the service, Tabitha if you read this,.. Just WoW!!! The food really is SECOND to NONE. When we want homecoming we usually visit a larger chain but after today this place has won my business for southern cooking and it is cooked at its finest.. I hope you all visit this place and have the experience we had,.. and I would ask for Tabitha if I was you.. P.S. Bring your appetite..“

“We've been eating here for several years. It is always fantastic. Everything on the menu is delicious. You cannot go wrong with anything you order. Service is also always amazing. You have to get a side order of biscuits and gravy for the table because of the fact that that biscuit melts in your mouth. (Photo below)“

“Where to start? What a delightful evening and meal. The waiter, to start with, was amazingly attentive and kept up with us the entire evening. Also the owner came over and filled us in on the recent history. Liquor license is in now but I don't drink so that was not important. Let me segue to the food. OMG, the mushroom and goat cheese fondue with tomato jam was to die for. It was served in a cast iron skillet with plenty of toast. The sauce was so rich and creamy. To keep this under an hour and a half reading let me say my bride's steak was perfect along with the brussel sprouts and kale. Let me tell you about the pork chop. I like my pork chops to be medium rare if possible and it was perfectly pink inside. I try my best to get that look and I always overcome them. The sweet potato puree asking with the brussel sprouts was outstanding. The portions were very generous and couldn't ask anything better for a Monday night meal. OK, then there was the bread pudding. Oh, Lord, when I tasted the whiskey I almost fell in the floor. So, let me say to the people who has a bad time at the restaurant that they are hitting on all cylinders. I can understand a Karen or two that have nothing better to do than be haters, especially after the opening of the restaurants after COVID. I get it. Why not try to come back and give it another chance. They deserve it and you could use a good meal to chill out.“

“My first time eating here and I can say i will be back especially at this location
John handled the drive thru with excellent customer service and lots of patience. He made my first time experience wonderful. Food was fresh and it was so good. I would recommend eating at this location .“

“Super friend staff and amazing food! Everyone was so friendly and helpful but, most importantly, the food was SO good! My husband and I both got different omelets and both were so good. We ate until we were beyond stuffed because the food was THAT good! He got a Bloody Mary that was one of the best I’ve had out here and I got a mimosa. Perfect little brunch atmosphere and set up! ❤️ You can not visit Lake Tahoe and pass this honey up!“

“Hannah's Kitchen is the best deal in Atlanta. $11 for a meat entree plus 2 sides plus cornbread AND drink. The best dishes are baked chicken (best I've ever had), beef tips & rice (best I've ever had) and pork chops. The entree/side dishes list changes daily, so you won't get bored with the same food each day. We need more places like this. I eat here 3-4 times a week. They have customers who eat both breakfast AND lunch everyday of the week. Customer services is friendly and super fast. You can be in and out of there within 30 minutes full and satisfied.“

“Beware..employee made unauthorized charges on my credit card.“

“I am so glad I found this gem!! I just moved to Atlanta from Boston (where there’s Haitian food everywhere) so I was little bummed out that there aren’t really Haitian spots out here. But my girlfriend found this place on IG and sent it my way. I ordered online and got the griot plate which comes with the diri kole (rice and beans) and the banan peze (fried plantains) with a side of salad and pikliz. Also ordered a side of the j*** chicken pasta which came with some delicious bread, my order also came with a lemonade and it was one of the best lemonade I ever had. EVERYTHING was delicious the griot was cooked very well still nice and tender people tend to overcook griot but this here was perfect! Portion is great! It’s a 10/10 for me and will not mind making that 30+ minute drive in Atlanta traffic to get it.My only suggestion would be to give the sauce on the side as opposed to putting it on the rice and having Dressing for the salad.Thank you Ted for a great meal, you definitely have a frequent customer now.“

“Thank you so much for catering our June 2nd wedding!! You fed our 100 guests, and EVERYTHING tasted perfect. You made the process so smooth and simple. The food was plentiful and delicious. When unexpected changes happened on our end, you had no problem with changing the wedding date mid-stream. I HIGHLY recommend your business for large group catering and will certainly visit your restaurant. Thank you!!“

“👍First visit today visiting my Son. Everyone was Friendly and the Owner was Nice and interested in what I thought. Everything was good and fresh. Had things I have not seen at other places. I live on the other side of Covington, one hour away, and I will be returning just so my wife and I can eat there, it WAS that good.“

“Love the space and atmosphere. The service and bar selection was very good. Even some very expensive access to select scotch and whiskeys.The food was actually very enjoyable and tasty. Hot as well as fresh served.The silver headed bar tender, so mad at myself for loss of his name...,( Great conversations and engagement.“

“Decided to give it another try as previous experience was not the best, waited almost 45mins to an hour to order and get served. Visited for lunch yesterday, ordered the salmon blt and my friend ordered grouper sandwich as both came highly recommended. Grouper was fishy and was sent back. Salmon was just ok, a bit greasy. Server only concerned about tip, was charged for house salad of $8 instead of meal charge being removed all together. Will not eat here again. Drinks were average.“

“The food was excellent the staff was professional an overall great experience that everyone should try“

“5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely loved the authentic American breakfast vibe here! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed morning. One of the things I care about most is fresh, truly fresh orange juice, and they serve exactly that—freshly squeezed and delicious. The food is tasty, the service is friendly, and the overall experience feels genuine and cozy. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a real breakfast spot with great quality and a refreshing start to the day.“

“Ordered a Christmas eve meal for our warehouse. Ordering online was made simple. And picking up was easy as well. Food was great. Wished it came with catering servingware. Had to note however that the beans had a lot of raw onions. Overall this was a great experience. Thank you all!“

“We ate lunch here after church today, 12/14/25. Service was great from the front door until we left. Our waiter, Michael B was friendly and patient with our 7 member party’s special requests. Awesome job Michael 🙌“

“I'm going to give it 4 stars instead of 5 because the place does have good food BUT the service of some employees is not good. Giving this place a 4 star out of 5 because although it has great food the customer service needs to better.“

“I had the pleasure of visiting this place last night with my restaurant group and they rolled out the red carpet. From the moment we walked in we felt right at home. There were about 14 of us and although there was 1 server, she handled everything perfectly. Everyone's drinks stayed full and the table stayed with the really good muffins! Needless to say the service was more than good it was top notch. The food! The baby back ribs were tender with just enough sauce. I particularly loved the Mac and cheese and had to order an additional side. Others had different items from the menu and no one left disappointed. I saw the baked potato and all I can say is if you order it be prepared because it's MASSIVE. All in all a great experience and I would definitely recommend giving it a try if you're in the area cause I'll be back for sure!“

“1st time here and the atmosphere was kinda scary looking, wouldn’t want to be alone at night But the food didn’t disappoint, everything was delicious, nice size portions, No waiting, and the guy behind the counter was very welcoming .. I really appreciate Good food and good service these days. Thanks 😊“

“every single dish I chose (smothered pork chops, collards, mac and cheese, cabbage, pecan pie) was spot on. reminded me of my childhood.“

“the food is good and love shopping you have some great stuff.“
