20 Best Southern Restaurants in Greensboro

“Rachel and I ate at MJ's Saturday night and it was one of the Best meals that I have ever eaten in a restaurant. Michael Angelo is alive and well and working as a chef at MJ's. There is No Way that this restaurant is a 4.7, its got to be a solid 5. If you want the Best meal that you have ever eaten, try MJ's. You will be glad that you did !“

“Pleasantly surprised by dinner. Everything is so delicious and the staff were great.I will be back.“

“I always enjoy my times at Blue Denim. The food is simply amazing as is the atmosphere. The dinning experience along with the service is unmatched locally. The only suggestion is to have a few more vegetarian and pescatarian options , please bring the tofu back to your wonderful menu. Perhaps more farm to table and wild caught fish (not farm raised as the Shrimp is) would be fantastic. Love this place!“

“A friend and I dined at brunch. It was excellent. No fussy menu but what taste ! A bit of a wait simply due to its quality and great service. and popularity. I look forward to a return visit. Highly recommend.“

“If you haven’t tried this place you are missing out the steak was phenomenal as was the service! I would highly recommend.“

“Stephanie's I, I love the hotdogs atw, and the chili cheeseburgers with onions remind me so much of home. Stephanie's II offers the best-tasting soul food, huge portions, and friendly staff. It also offers great service and no wait. We appreciate you allowing DTACS to use your Restaurant on Mondays and Tuesdays for training.“

“Just spent my birthday at Elm St Grill and was treated like a star! Food was amazing as always! Thank you to Josh, the bartender for taking such good care of my friend and me, and thank you, Ravi for my birthday present!!! Loved spending my birthday at this fantastic restaurant!!!!“

“Stamey’s has been at the same location since 1953 and they have great NC Barbecue, cooked over hickory wood coals. I have been eating at Stamey’s for over 50 years. It still tastes the same for as long as I can remember. So if you are in the Greensboro area, stop by Stamey’s B-Q, it’s great.“

“I went through Biscuitville on Martin Luther King 165 I couldn't tell who was running the place because the employees were running the place I tried to take my order back because it was wrong and ask to speak to a Manager and all these employees kept trying to help me . Get together down there.“

“Wonderful experience! I’ve seen multiple different shows and have enjoyed all of them! The staff are very helpful and nice! I definitely recommend!“

“The employees in the back of the house are very unprofessional. There is alot of playing. There was a gentleman "light skinned with dreds"working with no hair net. I will say the young lady working the front register was very professional and nice. Her name was Latisia.“

“service is great and the selection is good“

“Great customer service, great prices and great food! I hate they took the honey bun off the menu! 😔“

“Great food and the staff were all very nice. Spicy chicken and honey biscuit!“

“Biscuitville continues to be the best southern style breakfast you can get from a chain store. sure, small locally owned diners might have an edge, but if you want the familiarity of your local Diner where the regulars know you by name without the benefit of being in your actual Hometown at the time, just look for a biscuitville. they may not know you by name but they know how you like your eggs and your grits and your biscuits because they make them better than anybody else. you can't stand in front of the counter at McDonald's and watch them roll out their biscuits by hand combining the three simple ingredients to make the perfect southern breakfast food. you can't do that at Bojangles or Cracker Barrel or anywhere else except biscuitville. the only complaint I have about Biscuitville in Greensboro North Carolina is that the location closest to my house at 2311 Battleground Avenue has closed their dining room and is only available for drive-thru. a mild inconvenience at best.“

“I arrived around 11:30 am on a Sunday, and it was busy—the line was actually spilling out into the street. I wanted to go inside, but the drive-thru line was blocking the entrance and parking spots. They only have one drive-thru lane here, unlike other locations. After a few minutes, I finally managed to park and head inside. The lobby had a TV and about 16 tables, and it was cool to see a lady making biscuits right there in front of us.

I ordered at the counter around 11:37 am, and the cashier was really friendly. You could tell the staff was working hard. There was just one person ahead of me. I went with the grilled chicken, egg, and cheese biscuit with fries and a strawberry tea. The total was about $9.92, and my food was ready less than a minute later. I forgot to ask for ketchup for my fries, but luckily I had some BBQ sauce from Cookout in my car (lol). The wedges were a bit bland on their own, but they’d probably be great if they were better seasoned. The biscuit itself was delicious and at the perfect temperature. And the strawberry tea? It had real strawberries in it, which was awesome. I love strawberries, but the only downside was that they kept blocking the straw opening, haha.

I’ll admit, I had a bad experience with Biscuitville years ago—I tried one of the platters, and it was awful, so I didn’t go back. However, I received a gift card a few months ago and decided to give the biscuits a try. Since then, I’ve been a fan!

The only issue I have now is the parking lot and the drive-thru setup. The line shouldn’t block people who want to go inside, so I hope they look into that.“

“The people were extremely kind and the waffle sandwich was great! Also Biscuitville please contact me for a catering question.“

“My husband and I love Aunt E’s Southern Cuisine! The owner really came through for us with a large order at the last minute during the NCA&TSU Homecoming celebration last weekend. We needed food for 10 people and the other soul food restaurants we called laughed at us and said there was no way they could help us on the Thursday before Homecoming! We talked with Aunt E herself, and she worked with us and let us know what dishes she could prepare. We called her at noon and the food was ready by 4:00pm. When we went to pick up the food, it was hot and ready just in time for our guests who were scheduled to arrive by 5:00pm. It was our first time in the restaurant, and we noticed a friendly ambience and beautiful banquet room. We also met her husband, daughter, and other relatives. We are so grateful for her willingness to help us. And to top it all off, the food (cabbage, sweet potato casserole, sautéed spinach, and jollof rice), was delicious! Everybody loved it! We give this business our highest rating and appreciation!

Parking: Parking is available right in front of the restaurant and the parking lot is large with lots of available parking.“
