23 Best Southern Restaurants near Huntersville

“I love their chicken salad. I was so disappointed when they took it off their menu. The last time I was there I. asked the manager about it. He said they now run it as a special every other week. And to call each week to see if it was a special well today was my lucky day! I called and it was on special! I have to say I was disappointed when I saw they had cut back on the portion size and cost had gone up. But I wanted it that bad and paid the price! It was still as good as ever. I also tried their cheesecake and oh my it was awesome. I could not eat it all at one setting!“

“I walked into that gas station a broken man, spiritually bankrupt, and questioning my life choices—then Krispy Krunchy Chicken touched my soul like a deep-fried baptism. The first bite shattered the very fabric of my reality, unleashing a chorus of angels who harmonized in crispy, golden perfection as my taste buds ascended to a higher plane of existence. That biscuit? So buttery, I legally changed my name to Darlin’ and now have to pay taxes in Louisiana. If this chicken were any holier, the Pope himself would trade in the Vatican for a two-piece combo with a side of red beans and rice.

Blessed be the crunch.“

“The fact that your restaurant specifically spent time, care, energy and money to create your space inclusive to those with autism is far beyond what most places do. I am proud of you. Thank you!“

“Sardines are no longer offered on the menu but they still have fish…. “MEALS, none finer anywhere MEALS SO MOUTH-WATERING THAT YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU CAME TO CIRCLE G” - 1954 Charlotte Observer Good Morning. Flounder fish (slabs) and grits, hot sauce, eggs, grilled biscuit. $10.50 That is all.👌🏽“

“I would highly recommend Chicken Salad Chick if you’re looking for, well, chicken salad. In my opinion, it’s easily one of the best places for chicken salad in the area, without a doubt.

Their cookies are also excellent—soft, rich, and just really well made. It’s a place my sister, wife, and mom all really enjoy, and they visit pretty frequently.

One of the nice bonuses is the location. There are some great dessert options nearby as well. Right next door you’ve got Nothing Bundt Cakes, which is fantastic, and Crumbl Cookies, which is another popular spot for oversized, rotating cookie flavors.

Altogether, it makes for a great stop if you want a solid meal and the option to finish it off with a really good dessert nearby.“

“Delicious and tasty healthy menu. Love that they have such variety sandwiches, scoops, soups, salads, lots of yummy sides, and the grapes… The grapes!“

“Get the What The Cluck…that’s all 🥹😍“

“We experienced the sweetest group of staff working here! The food was delicious especially the cinnamon biscuits covered in sugar. The breakfast bowl was extra large, enough for 2 servings. The best part though was the excellent staff and service ✨✨“

“Great tasting hot dog with homemade chili and slaw, potato salad very good and spring rolls were legit. Tasty tasty!“

“Everything was great from the hostess drinks, food and especially the live DJ. Playing all the right songs. What messed me up is when I needed more silverware and the waitress started with her large group that came and pretty much forgot about me and my guess. Nevertheless I ate part of the food with a spoon and just took the rest to go. For 18% gratuity automatically added my service should've been top notch.“

“The restaurant is nice I enjoyed the atmosphere the waitress was nice it is a place that I would always come back to when I am in the area keep up the good work waitress and the cooks u are the best in my eyes. Thanks!“

“Great food and service!!“

“Customer service is EXCELLENT!!! Never a problem with my order. Prices are very reasonable. Maggie and Scott are the best!!!😁“

“We had the pleasure of dining at Cuzzo’s Cuisine while in town celebrating our 18th Anniversary! The food was absolutely delicious. Lisa, our server, was very attentive and friendly. The best part is that almost the entire menu is gluten friendly which gave us many options. We had the fried fish (flounder) with fries as well as Cajun and BBQ wings. Chef Andarrio signed my husband’s copy of his cookbook, “Kick’n it in the Kitchen”. Overall, the experience was great!“

“After FOUR YEARS of driving by this place and hoping to one day walk through the door....IT FINALLY HAPPENED on Friday, August 16, 2024! The BoatYard LKN is everything I knew it would be and more! My neighbor and I bought tickets for the "Who's Bad Ultimate Michael Jackson Experience" show.

We arrived early to grab a comfortable seat. Prior to the show we ordered shareables and a few cocktails. The service was incredible from beginning to end! From security to the bartenders, everyone was friendly and welcoming! It must be something about the environment inside, because I met so many kind people who absolutely LOVE the Boatyard LKN experience! The show was incredible! (Minus the storm that came through during the second half of the show.) I will definitely go back REAL SOON!“

“Nana’s Porch grilled burgers, and provided sides at our backyard event last weekend. We had many compliments on both the food and the staff. The burgers were great, as were the sides. The team that came was so nice, very personable and attentive. I will definitely use them again!“

“Had breakfast room service twice and the portions were very large and the food was excellent. Also had their crab soup yesterday. Highly recommend.“

“I had such a great experience at Showmars thanks to the amazing customer service from Maddie and Katy! From the moment we walked in, they were friendly, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. They made sure everything was just right with our order and went above and beyond to make us feel taken care of.

It’s not every day you come across people who clearly enjoy what they do and treat customers like they matter, but Maddie and Katy absolutely do. Their positive attitudes and attention to detail made our visit stand out.

Because of them, we’ll definitely be coming back. Showmars is lucky to have such awesome employees!“

“The live band created an exceptional experience. For those seeking a relaxing atmosphere paired with quality food and attentive service, this is an excellent choice. Join them every other Sunday at 8 PM for an enjoyable and memorable evening.“

“Just wanted to give a shout out to the big black bald guy running (what looked like everything) in the long sleeve brown shirt. when we first got there the man was telling the cashiers to clean up and keep the area tight. when we started looking for a table the man found us a seat. for the finale this man was throwing down on the meat station. I had 3 steaks yall and I'm only a 130 lbs female. Not only was this man's work ethic and meat standards so good, his customer service was awesome. He had an entire line of customers waiting for their steaks (which can't be helped with how busy they were) and some of the customers started half way complaining.. and this big dude yells something about Las Vegas and starts laughing and immediately everyone's reaction was to smile. not even half a min later he was pushing steaks like you wouldn't believe. what makes him even better though was for my second steak I walked up with 5 other people and he pointed at me with his tongs and said med rare? I said yes sir. this man was a 10/10. However... the waiting staff sucked. We had to go up to the registers and refill our drinks like 4 times (just me my dude and our little girl). I had to go up to ask for the a1 sauce. some of our plates were never cleared but yet there was a party of 5 beside us that drinks were always full. BTW they left a 5 and we (for the most part) Always leave a 10. sorry not sorry. we left 3 bucks. being honest we should have just given the bald man the money. he deserved it the most.“

“I have never been to a Cheddar's before, but I'll definitely be back! The drinks are affordable but delicious, I got the coconut painkiller and it was great. The smokehouse burger was disappointing, I'm pretty sure the burger patty was frozen and not fresh, and it tasted a lot like tv dinner Salisbury steak. That being said, the service was perfect. I don't remember the bartender's name but she had curly, bright red hair. She greeted us immediately even though she was noticeably busy, and let us know she'd be right with us. She took our order in a timely manner and was friendly the entire time. Honestly the way she carried herself made it seem like that was HER bar and she runs it with ease. I was very impressed with the service. And the food came out quickly, hot, and accurate. All around a great experience!“

“I just had the best experience at the Lancaster SC Biscuitville! The guy that took my order, Calvin, just brightened my day. The energy he has welcoming me and saying good morning was wonderful! I honestly thought it was a recording at first. His personality it not something you witness at most businesses. Hey Calvin, if you see this post, thank you for making my day happier! You deserve a raise and recognition! 👏“

“We went Saturday for lunch and my meatloaf and mashed potatoes were cold. we asked for biscuits while we were waiting and never received them. And it took 25 minutes to get our food, it was not worth it.“
