7 Best Southern Restaurants near Springfield

“Georgia Mac’s Bar & Grill is hands-down my favorite Friday night spot! I’ve been coming here for almost a year and it’s always a great time. The live music is the best in the area, and somehow there’s no cover charge — which feels like robbery (in the best way)! The staff is a huge part of why I keep coming back. I always feel safe and welcome thanks to their professionalism and good vibes. Robyn is my absolute favorite! She’s friendly and so real, attentive (my drinks are never empty), and keeps the energy fun. Chloe is also fantastic, and honestly, the whole crew is great. The food? Amazing. Their menu is massive with something for everyone. The fried mushrooms, onion rings, and mac n cheese are my go-to’s, but the wings and burgers are just as stellar. Don’t skip the seasonal specials or dessert — it’s always worth it. Georgia Mac’s is the real deal, and I’ll keep coming back for the music, the food, and the staff.“

“Thought we'd try something new today. Boy we're we in for a pleasant surprise! My husband had the Fried Fish Dinner and I had the Muffaletta. I just loved the Olive relish that they had put on it. It was so flavorful!! Loved it!!!!. I highly recommend Big Easy Grill!!! **********“

“We went here for my wife’s birthday dinner. It is a very popular place and we enjoyed it and our server. Atmosphere was very friendly and so were the staff. My wife had the ribeye, broccoli with cheese and loaded baked potato. I don’t remember the last time that she ordered and eat a steak that size as well every thing else on her plate! Her steak was done as she requested. I had the top sirloin and half a rack of ribs, also baked potato and red beans with rice. It was delicious and perfect blend of each. We will be back for another dinner or lunch. The restaurant was so busy and so many places to sit, I didn’t want to impose on the guests to take more pictures.“
