7 Best Southern Restaurants near Grand Rapids

“Great service, pleasant atmosphere, and a convenient location. We loved the Sweet Potato Pancake with Bacon, Potatoes, and Desserts. We were very disappointed with the Chicken Tenders, they were very dry. Perhaps we had a bad batch because they didn't look like the tenders on their website. We would go again, and make different main meal choices.“

“My sister and I were visiting the area and were looking for some wings and were led to this place. From the moment we stepped inside Rico was welcoming, and we struck up a great conversation. He gave us his recommendations about what to try when we told him what we were looking for, and they did not disappoint.

I had the lemon pepper rub and my sister had the wet lemon pepper sauce. The chicken was seasoned perfectly and the flavors were very apparent. He gave us a honey mustard barbecue sauce to sample that was outstanding! Lived it with my fries. Drink options include kool aid, and although I didn’t have any, this was a nice throwback to childhood.

Stop by for the delicious food, and stay for the wonderful hospitality. Thanks Rico😊“

“Absolutely delicious! We stopped in on a Tuesday for dinner and were greeted with great service. We got the catfish, mashed potatoes, fried chicken, and mac and it was all amazing! I haven’t found anything so close to family cooking in a restaurant before. We both left clean plates. Will definitely be returning!“

The fried chicken ..... Sweet baby Jesus delicious. Everything was great!!! Love you guys keep up the awesome work!!“

“CLK overall was an amazing environment and very family oriented. I would like to give a huge shout out to the manager from last night, I came in believing I had a reservations because I was celebrating my bday but also doing a gender reveal that was done Feb 13th for March 1st but it wasn’t in there system. Instead of turning me around her and some of staff maneuvered and make things work in my favor. The server we had started out great but then became a little rude and I don’t know if it was because of my party downsizing or what but the attitude changed. She started reaching over ppl not saying excuse me so I became a little irritated on my special day. I really wanted to experience more of the food but the way things went it just changed the whole energy for me. But everything wasn’t bad and like I said I truly appreciate the amazing manager from last night and I was told that the bartender that made the drinks was superb!!!! Thank you“
