9 Best Southern Restaurants near Shaker Heights

“AMAZING. Literally the best food I've had all year. The customer service was great. The time from order to receiving was lightning fast. Everything was hot, fresh and made to order. The restaurant was spotless! My favorite was the beef fried rice, huge tender pieces of beef atop the best fried rice in the city. Tons of flavors and finished nicely with the fresh bok choy.“

“Food is AMAZING big portions. I got meatloaf hubbie got smothered chops both were amazing so we're all sides we get stuffing n mac n cheese to die for... greens were great too...you know food is good when u dont have to add salt or pepper to anything...if you go on Sundays go early or u will miss out!! They are jumping“

“First time customer, I did online ordering through Toast, ordered a wing dinner w/ gold sauce, delicious! Wings were fried perfectly and to my surprise fries are fresh cut yum!! Priced very reasonable! So glad I gave this place a try, can't wait to return 😋“

“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.“

“Nice spot. Smaller than old Shaker Hts. location, yet quaint and comfortable. The waitress, Ebony, did a great job with our party of 11 on a Friday. The DJ that came later that evening was off the chain! We really enjoyed ourselves in friends & family birthday celebration.“

“The new curbside person is always so friendly and accommodating. We love her! She has made me start ordering regularly from Cracker Barrel once again!!“

“WOW - the food is wow and the service is wow. I'll start with the Staff as, they deserve it - Ashley was our server and she was above fantastic. Honestly, the entire staff, every single person we met that worked there was so incredibly polite - and I don't mean 'trained to be scripted to the restaurants script' polite, I mean, genuinely kind and personable. It was my first time at this restaurant and I honestly felt like I had been there a million times, that's how inviting the vibes are here. Now - on to the food. I had the herb baked chicken and merciful heavens, it was FANTASTIC (sides I sampled that I loved were the fried green tomatoes and their house potatoes). I would feel comfortable in a fancy dress or jeans & my favorite sweatshirt here - it's just, it's homey and makes you feel so welcome. If you're looking for a great dinner with friends or family - I highly recommend this lovely Cleveland restaurant. Super honorable mention to the CHAIRS...I literally googled a photo of one and am replacing our kitchen island chairs with them, yep that comfy.“

“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!“
