9 Best Southern Restaurants near Blackwood

“Their biscuits are the best I’ve ever had in Jersey. They remind me of the ones we get down in OBX.Great food, my only complaint was that their loaded breakfast fries were really salty. If I could make one suggestion on that dish, keep a batch of unsalted fries to the side just for when people order that dish, the gravy they put on them has plenty of flavor already.As far as value goes, my wife and I are eaters and we both couldn’t finish our dishes. So the price isn’t bad considering you will get two meals out of it. Can’t wait to go back again.“

“Vegetarian options: Very few vegetarian dishes, but I knew that going in. It's a Southern inspired restaurant with a heavy focus on meat and seafood dishes - ribs, chicken, short rib, crawfish, shrimp, etc. I made it work and was not the least bit disappointed. The service was excellent and the drinks were delicious. The blue cheese stuffed olives in the martini were incredible.“

“The ambiance is superb, I highly recommend this black owned restaurant, the food was amazing and the service was fantastic. Special thanks to Shaw (owner) for her professionalism and hospitality. We all enjoyed your delicious food. The evening was everything we hoped it would be. Support Black Businesses.“

“The place and vibe were great. The food and drink menu were top notch. Justin gave us the ins and outs of the menu as we walked in. Louis the bartender went above and beyond with his service. His drinks were great too. Will be coming back.“

“I visited the cracker barrel on route 73 today, and just wow! A figure from my past emerged from the ashes like a phoenix. A beautiful phoenix with long red locks and the most expressive eyes that beg me to ask “What’s your story, Red?” Reborn she was, even more captivating than all those years before.I cannot say enough about how amazing my server was. I knew her from her previous job at another establishment, and she took care from me and my buddy Ron just as good as she did before. I tried to order cream chipped beef, but unfortunately they don’t have that on the menu anymore. No sweat off my back! Miss beautiful recommended the chicken and dumplings, and it was delicious. That along with my sweet tea and a warm milk for Ron was heavenly. Those stars on her apron were personally plucked from the heavens and sewn by an angel.It’s a real human interaction like this one that keeps me clean and sober, shows me that beauty and kindness exists in every corner of this wretched world. Thank you for your service that day at cracker barrel, Miss Red.“

“Had two great meals at Corinne's while in Denver for business meetings. Sau was the host at both dinner and breakfast the next day. He was warm and friendly and did a great job. My breakfast server, Izzy was also very friendly and very professional. Both meals were terrific. The chili-rubbed roast chicken was cooked perfectly and the breakfast next day was delicious. The breakfast potatoes were the best I've ever had. Will definitely be returning!“

“Me having a craving for crab legs my husband chose this restaurant. Not overly crowded for a Friday night we were seated immediately. Portions are well worth the money so don't trip over the prices, it took me 3 days to finish mine and we all left with food! Their garlic butter is the best I've had so far. It's very flavorful with chunks of fresh garlic cloves lightly seasoned in a butter sauce (I opted for no old bay)! All of the muscles had meat inside and weren't just empty shells like at other places. 2 of our orders were the same but with different sauces so when the food was brought to our table, the owner came over to double check the right person, got the right order. First time ever seeing plum wine on the drink menu which had a very pleasant taste. The food and service was outstanding, it turned out to be the best birthday dinner I never wanted.“

“This brisket is packed with so much flavor and melts in your mouth. The Mac n cheese is amazing. And these collard green are vegetarian made with zero pork and the best damn collard greens I've ever had. Also the corn bread is perfection! Rich's beef ribs had the most delicious BBQ sauce that was sweet, smoky and had a little spicy kick. He also had great coleslaw and vegetarian beans that were so good!“
