34 Best Southern Restaurants near Clarksville

“great food and fantastic service“

“Thoroughly enjoyed everything about the restaurant. Food was delicious, staffs hospitality and their service was excellent and cleanliness, taste and items selection was great including the price. I personally had ordered chicken fry and shrimp beer batter fry, it was a great choice. We enjoyed our time and enjoyed our meals there. 4 stars is high bar for my rating so don't worry, between 4-5 to me is there is always a room for restaurants to improve in any area and I'm sure Cheddar's is always striving to offer best to its loyal customers. Regardless, everything was great.“

“Staff was the rudest I have ever encountered at the Middletown location. I also witnessed extreme rudeness to a door dash driver who had clearly been waiting a while and when they asked about the order having been marked 10 minutes ago as ready they were told "We don't care about YOUR numbers, we have to appear to be on time." He looked like management. I turned and left, I will not do business with someone being rude to staff or anyone providing a service to them any more than rudeness to customers.“

“Started off a little rough because I think they forgot about our reservation as they were seating people with the same reservation time while we sat and waited until I finally asked what was going on. At which point, they seated is promptly.
Aside from that, this restaurant is beautifully situated along the river with fantastic views. The food was amazing and our waitress was very attentive and friendly! After dinner, we were able to walk down and sit by the river to finish our drinks and digest our delicious meal.“

“Amazing food and great service!“

“Rib tip dinner was great! Had the sweet & spicy chili sauce and came with two sides and a roll. I got greens, baked beans, and added a side of the fried taters and onions. All of it hit the spot with a ginger ale to wash it down. Very nice people inside. Great little neighborhood eatery I recommend.“

“Stopped in this morning and if you want a biscuit like your South Carolina grandmother made This is Your Place Honestly one of the Best biscuits I’ve had since I was a little boy knee high to my grandma. Excellent food, very friendly and helpful folks Just an Outstanding visit, We Will be Back,“

“This restaurant is inside Hyatt Regency Downtown....I ordered a pork chop, carrots and mashed potatoes. The pork chop was delicious and the carrots were good but they were purple in color. You can always get a table either outside or in the restaurant.
Sorry, I didn't think about taking a pic.“

“We loooooove the Silver Dollar!! We're so happy that our favorite neighborhood restaurant has reopened. We are looking forward to trying all of their new menu items. My dog & I enjoy sitting out back on their cute patio & my son is addicted to the Chicken & Waffles. I'd highly recommend Silver Dollar to anyone who wants to refine their bourbon palate. We've been indulging in the $40 bourbon flight specials on Wednesdays. All the Silver Dollar bartenders are very demure, very mindful especially Jay! We loooooove Whiskey by the Drink“

“I have always loved the vibe, homey feel when making the decision to have a meal at Cracker Barrel. I can see some are noting the Sellersburg store has not changed its decor is not correct. The old timer decor has been removed and replaced with new modern pictures. It is not the same. The store section is the same, still good choice of foods. Love the chicken fired chicken. Portions seem to be getting smaller. Service was not like I have had in the past. And that’s not a good thing.“

“Brisket was wonderful and staff were very friendly.“

“This was my first time eating at Eggs Over Frankfort and the food was delicious. Jessie was our amazing waitress. She is hilarious and a beautiful human who made our experience fun and memorable.“

“Great little spot for soul food. Only drawback is they have an early close of 7pm, and since it's cafeteria style serving, most of the popular items run out quick. Pricing is very favorable for what you get. Great for a quick bite that fills you up!“

“I stopped in after going to my veterinarian in Shively. The salmon croquettes were perfect! Greens, pinto beans and delicious corn bread too. I peeked into the dining room and plan to eat in next time. Big Hopps served me my first taste of sweet potato casserole back when they were located near the Glassworks building. This place is a real gem.“
