44 Best Southern Restaurants near Matthews

“Vibrant, happy atmosphere, is a delicious way to nourish myself in a hurry.“

“Omar (the Manager) and Alex (our waiter) was excellent. We celebrated my niece’s birthday after church. Omar came by several times and checked in on us. Alex made sure the plates were removed from the table when done and we didn’t run out of drinks and provided the attention to us that was needed. They both really made our lunch even more special with their service. Their kindness and hospitality didn’t go unnoticed.“

“I really like this place. I will come to this restaurant whenever I am in Matthews. The service was supreme - I got a Bisquit to go with Apple Butter. I didn't have to ask for the Apple Butter! Both the Bisquit and Apple butter were delicious. The Apple butter had a nice smooth tangy and spicy taste like they made it themselves. and they made sure I was taken care of quickly.“

“good food and our waitress was great.“

“Very classy and delicious food!!“

“I had this waiter cat and she was phenomenal!“

“MY DAUGHTER WENT WITH HER GIRLFRIENDS THEY HAD AWESOME TIME TOGETHER THIS WAS THERE FIRST TIME EATING HERE“

“The brunch menu was diverse. I had the crab benedict with a side of potato hash. My daughter had the fried green tomato benedict with fruit. The food was presented well, delicious, and the portions were reasonable. I will not wait very long to go back as I highly recommend New South Kitchen & Bar for weekend brunch.“

“This was an A+!!! I have never experienced flavors like this place. It was so good we even had to tell the chef how awesome he is. I recommend this place 1000% !!“

“Good food. Very nice place. Waiter Jonney was very friendly, nice and helpful.“

“Just had a delicious lunch at The Southern Pecan. I had the shrimp po’ boy, which was served with a side of fries. Soooo good. Luckily it was too much food so now I have dinner already prepared. Service was excellent - shout out to Lilly!“

“Sharon and Susan were both incredibly welcoming and kind! For my meal, I opted for the chicken chorizo hash with eggs over easy, accompanied by potatoes, peppers, onions, and cheese. I thought the dish could have been enhanced with some queso since it felt a bit dry (might have been because I left the salsa off). Although they offer the hangover hash, it doesn't include a biscuit. The biscuit 👌🏼 and the jelly they serve is truly exceptional. I also had the grits, which were definitely creamy and pretty good—probably some of the best grits I've had at a restaurant for sure. I decided to try the grilled macaroni and cheese, which was a baked and grilled version. While it was tasty, I believe it could have been more flavorful, but it was still enjoyable. My main issue was that the food on my breakfast plate wasn't warm enough; I prefer to see steam rising from my food. Despite that, everyone was very pleasant, and the menu is quite impressive. My only suggestion would be to ensure that the food is served hot and to pay attention to any lint on the plates from the drying process. Overall, it's a nice, straightforward breakfast spot with a unique menu.

Kid-friendliness: Most definitely.“

“Chicken Salad Chick's chicken salad is top-notch, especially Dixie Chick and Barbie-Q. Dixie Chick is savory, while Barbie-Q offers a smoky, tangy kick. The friendly employees provided excellent service, making our takeout experience pleasant and seamless. Delicious flavors and great customer service make it a favorite spot.“

“This restaurant was amazing! They have a theatre menu that changes with each show at the theatre. It did not disappoint. I normally don't finish my meal, but everything was so good I couldn't stop. Julia, our server was so friendly, and helpful. She anticipated our needs and checked on us multiple times. Thank you for showing us West Coast Canadians what southern hospitality is. ❤️“

“Good food n atmosphere will be back“

“Great service and great food!“

“Had a engagement in a hour. in and out and great service“

“It was a neat restaurant. The staff was really nice. The menu sounded really good. We ordered off the brunch menu, and the order was wrong. That isn't really the issue because everyone makes mistakes, we understand that for sure. The food taste was there, but it didn't come out as advertised in so far as what was supposed to be on it even though it was the wrong menu item. The food was not hot either. Again, everyone makes mistakes, so we are going to give it another shot. I feel like maybe they may have been overwhelmed or short-handed in the kitchen. I'm looking forward to trying again and having a little better experience the next time around.“

“Me and about 25 of my chapter brothers had our reunion luncheon here last Friday 7/22/22. The food was amazing, literally the best thing I ate in Charlotte. In addition the service was impeccable and the restrooms where spotless. They even kept the Resturant open for an additional hour to accommodate us. I couldn’t have hoped for a better experience for our event. Thank you so much. We will be back.“

“Open early, great prices and awesome staff.Just found my new local breakfast spot while staying in downtown Charlotte.And just want to mention that not only was the staff attractive, they were incredibly friendly and moved at a steady pace. The food came out quick, hot and absolutely delicious and upon finishing the fine cuisine it made me want to yell, booomshakalaka.“

“This pub food restaurant is located off the lobby of the Fairfield Inn. We initially planned to dine out but decided to try the Tavern instead.

They mainly serve bar food, and it's well-prepared. I wish they had more vegan options.

Our server, Tracey, was exceptional - kind, smart, and outgoing. She's truly a standout staff member here.“

“Fried Chicken is the best we’ve had since moving here 17 years ago, Mac& Cheese was creamy and delicious, Sweet Potato Tots dusted with Cinnamon and Sugar were yummy and the Jalapeño Cornbread was sweet and moist with just the right amount of peppers, service was good and our sweet tea was kept filled. Absolutely no complaints, highly recommend and look forward to our next visit!“

“First time at a Biscuitville (Kernersville NC) today! Great service, hot food, good flavors! Patti gave the recommendation for The Chicken club and wedge fries - and they hit the spot!“

“Phenomenal brunch experience. I’d come dine here even if I wasn’t staying at the Ballantyne. I enjoyed the classic breakfast with eggs over easy, home fries, sausage, and deviled eggs. The staff were wonderful and incredibly friendly + accommodating. Five stars.“

“We called ahead. The food was on time, and it was very good. The Quality of the Service was outstanding. We'll definitely continue to visit chicken king.

Parking: The restaurant is easily accessible from the gravel parking area, which is just outside of it.“
