8 Best Southern Restaurants in Cleveland

“Hatfield's is our most favorite restaurant for brisket, fresh-cut fries, onion rings, outstanding mac and cheese, sloppy Joe's, burgers and ribs. We get the same things all the time because they're delicious. I take my family and friends and everyone loves it!! I walk in and they usually know my order. Friendly service, clean, nice atmosphere, and very good food!! The owner does come around to make sure your satisfied with everything, which really was impressive to us. We dine in as well as carry-out and highly recommend this restaurant for excellent southern comfort food!!“

“Having a tip automatically added to the bill of two people is off-putting. For the record, I'm a good Tipper. I did actually add to the 15% automatically added because our server was awesome. But tipping is an addition, not part of the bill. Heck, add it to the cost of the food and I'll pay it. but not in tipping. that's my choice.“

“Soho is some of the best fried chicken in Cleveland period. Both the white and dark meat are cooked to perfection. What's even more shocking is they do this with boneless breast and thighs. These pieces of chicken are boneless and still moist. That's so rare to see. The sides here are phenomenal! The mashed potatoes are a stand out for sure. They are beyond rich and decadent. They taste of just butter and are silky smooth. The mac and cheese is delightful with a wonderful Gouda flavor. The Nashville hot sandwhich is great and not overly spicy it's very pleasant. But the hush puppies are a must try they are the size of a golf ball and are so soft and moist. With this excellent dipping sauce. Nothing here is bad. The service was super fast. Food arrives very quickly. I do however recommend reservation for the weekend or a Friday. This place fills up fast. Parking can be a pain because it is all street parking and finding something nearby can be hard. But it's absolutely worth it for some of the best chicken around. Also with free biscuits how can you beat that.“

“Without a doubt one of the best fried chicken (and sides!) I’ve had anywhere in the country. The skin is always flakey and crisp, with the chicken inside hot, moist, and steamy. Do not miss this experience under any circumstance!“

“I went back to Golden Corral after 9 years, few days ago on Wednesday , my favorite is the the seafoods and the desserts. The place haven't changed since last time I been there, still warm atmosphere and very family friendly. And I love the employees their friendly and helpful.“
