23 Best Southern Restaurants near Southaven

“We were in Southaven so decided to try Belly Acres based on a great review from. apizzaguy on Instagram. We got the smash burger and seasoned fries. The burgers (2 - 4oz. grass-fed beef patties) was nicely seasoned with crispy edges. Had cheese and caramelized onions on top. The beef was delicious. The fries were good too. Will definitely go back and try the catfish and chicken.“

“I ate there a couple years ago , it’s the best chicken I ever put in my mouth and haven’t found another chicken joint to come to close to matching it. This place knows how to cook yard bird .“

“Great food great staff. The only thing I would change is that there be more locations“

“The atmosphere at Georgia Blue is nothing short of amazing. The little short lady Jackie(GM) was phenomenal. She showed excellent customer service and helped wherever she was needed. She was all smiles and full of kindness. The bartender was very tentative and kind. -Eric Cash Southaven Kia-“

“So order some lamb chops from TrapFusion901 last night at the wine on the river and this is what they gave me for $30. They definitely holds up to their name. When I ordered they told me 25/30 minutes so I go back and start getting more wine while I wait. I went back in 25 minutes, I was about to ask this lady was my food ready but before I could, this older lady from the trap made a comment "why are all these people back her, it's just to much", so trap lady #2 asked me "what I needed" and I told her "I was trying to see if my food was ready". She said "not yet". In my mind I'm wondering how would she know and not know my name. She comes back 3 minutes later to ask me my name. I told her that she should have asked me thar before saying that my food wasn't ready and then I perceived to give her my name. After that she then tells me my food was sitting on the table upfront with trap lady #1. I responded to her that she had just told me it wasn't ready and that food had been sitting there prior to me walking up. So I go to trap lady #1 and got my food. When I opened it I was highly disappointed. The chops were cold and dry. They drowned them in bbq sauce, which I don't like. On top of that it was only 3 chops in there for $30. This is another BOB I don't recommend. If they needed $30 they should have just asked.“

“I've been visting rocking of memphis for about 2.5 years from then to now no problem clean fresh food and they treat u like family“

“I ordered to go the bake chicken broccoli and cheese and potato casserole they only serve white meat the piece was so big and thick and dry the skin was salty.The sweet potato casserole had pecans and was very stringy.I will not order there any no more. I was disappointed“

“This food is so, so, so GREAT!!! The portion sizes are better than most. These folks are about to blow my food budget. I had to talk myself down from ordering from them on yesterday. The variety is everything! You can easily eat at this restaurant 7 days given the array of foods. I especially love the veggies. Well, I especially love the banana pudding [authentic, down-home style] like Muddear used to make back in the day. The entrees are exceptional. Did I mention the corn bread? Okay, order an extra loaf for snacking later- its that good and you better not dip it in gravy - oh, yeah. I think this place has soul food on lock. Easily. I sample the city eateries here and there but not anymore. I have found my spot. This food is the way to anyone's heart. The customer service is excellent. Very warm and friendly work team. I love the way they assist each other. Call-in orders are hot and ready at the time quoted. A++++ restaurant!!!“

“I drove way across town to try this food after my friend try how good it was. I order the rib tip fried rice. Yall, I can't describe all the flavor that loaded into your mouth with every fork. YOU will have to experience it for yourself. Yes, the prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get. Don't take my word for it go and find out. I will see you there because I am definitely going back.“

“Stopped by Chicken Salad Chick in Olive Branch and tried the Bacon Cheddar Melt with the Fancy Nancy chicken salad — absolutely delicious! The sandwich was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of crunch from the bacon and creaminess from the chicken salad. The staff was friendly, and the restaurant was clean and inviting. Definitely a great spot for a tasty lunch, and I’ll be back to try more flavors!“

“For some reason I didn’t get pictures of my actual food lol, but this place is awesome!
We got the Presley’s Burger, Cajun chicken pasta, the pulled pork Mac and cheese sandwich (cannot find the name of it on any menu online), and the deep fried pb&j. Everything was super good and the fries are 🔥 ! The deep fried pb&j wasn’t the best though and I’m a sweets person. We got The King II for our drinks. They were strong but it was yummy and I still finished it lol.
The employees here are what truly makes the place the best. Shoutout to Samantha, Anwar, Jamal and whoever else was working on 6/25/26 I appreciate you all!🤍“

“Mr. Q at the Southern Hands Kirby location did a wonderful job and provided great customer service. My order was mistakenly sent to the wrong restaurant. But Mr. Q was very professional, worked with me by taking care of my order near the close of business. I was greatly appreciative; me and my family really enjoyed the delicious dinner from Southern Hands Home Style Cooking.“

“Big Myrts Wings & Things offer delicious meals while providing superb service.“

“If you're in Memphis and you find yourself at Delta's Kitchen, do yourself a favor and ask for Alexa.

I came in planning to grab a quick bite and keep it moving. HEEEEERRRRR... baby... Alexa had other plans. 😂 She knows how to read her audience. She set the tone from the moment I sat down and turned what was supposed to be a meal into an experience. She made me feel so comfortable that I actually slowed down, relaxed, and enjoyed myself.

The fried green tomatoes were an absolute treat. You can tell there's real culinary passion behind this menu. By the time I finished my meal, I was having such a good time that I asked what the dessert options were. I honestly can't remember the last time I ordered dessert at a restaurant. I landed on the chocolate chip bread pudding, and Lord... it was to die for.

Was the food good? Duh.

But great food is only part of what makes people come back. Alexa created the kind of hospitality that makes you want to stay a little longer, order one more thing, and just enjoy the moment. That's a gift.

10/10. I'll absolutely be back.“

“My favorite Soul Food restaurant! They have great service and very efficient with ordering and processing and they remember they're customers. I always get the Kams Porchops. I hope they do more hot water cornbread. They did it as a substitute for the loaf. I want more.“

“Great atmosphere and the workers were so nice. And the food was great. Definitely a 5 Star“

“Whewwww I've literally lived up the street from this spot my whole life and never been here. But I'm so glad I did! I got the fish and shrimp with fries with crack on top.Don't worry the crack isn't what you think. But it may be because I def couldn't get enough. Everything was made to order and it was hot and fresh!I will def be back“

“We Ordered pick up for a family meal on our way home to Memphis from the beach. It was perfect. If we’d live closer we’d come all the time. It was packaged so carefully, everything present, everything neat and tidy. The girl working the to go station was so helpful and attentive.“

“I'm surprised that there are so many negative reviews of Vernon's. I don't consider myself an expert on brisket, which is what I had, but I have eaten it in a number of really exceptional places in New York City and in Austin, Texas and other places in Texas. Many places in New York City. And this brisket was just about as good as any that I've had. Really really delicious. Price was fair. Good portions. Good corn bread. Service was quick. Sides were good. I can't recommend it too highly. The only drawback is if you're going there just for the food, you may have to pay the $10 parking fee for Graceland parking lot... but it's worth it. Take all your friends! Highly recommended.“
