8 Best Southern Restaurants near Edmond

“I’m not usually a “chicken fast food” person. I stick to grilled chicken at home, but while searching for dog-friendly patios, we stumbled upon Chicken Foot off Frontage and decided to give it a try. Wow. DELICIOUS. The menu is large with plenty of tempting options. I ordered the Sticky Chicky with hush puppies and nachos, while my husband went for the OKC Hot Chick Sandwich with fries. We both loved our meals and the overall experience. A few days later, we decided to order through DoorDash. That experience came with a few hiccups, but the staff, mainly the GM - truly impressed us. They took full ownership of the issue, went above and beyond to make it right, and handled everything with kindness. It left us feeling even more confident about supporting them. We’re looking forward to making Chicken Foot a regular spot, especially since I’ve heard they host trivia nights and give back to the community. Great food, great people - can’t wait to come back!“

“Hi, my name is Mel and I just wanted to share a wonderful experience we had in your store yesterday. We are expecting a baby and to surprise our son we decided to have the gender revealed through strawberry or blueberry pancakes. Our server, Akaisha, took this request very, very seriously and did such a wonderful job with our request. Several other ladies from the kitchen also came out and were so supportive and sweet to our family. I was focused on my son's reaction at the time and wish I had been able to thank them all more for being so thoughtful and supportive of this reveal to our son. Several other members of your team had very sweet things to say throughout our visit, and even when I forgot my purse and had to come back. In a world where times are tough, I just wanted you to know that your staff was so much more than that yesterday, they were plain wonderful humans. Thank you so much for the experience, we are so happy that your store was part of this special memory for us“

“They've updated the place since we were there last and it looks nice and fresh. Chicken strips were really good but I'm not sure that the $2. Upcharge for the mushrooms was worth it. They were very tasty but there just wasn't very many of them. Love their peach tea! Good meal overall.“

“The food is hot and fresh and the service is great! The manager on the intercom made me so happy. She had the best energy. I accidentally ordered a biscuit and they switched it for a roll without hesitation. The African American gentleman at the window was very accommodating. Thank you!“

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about The Kitchen in OKC. In a time when so many families are struggling, they have shown what true community and compassion look like. Offering free family meals to those facing hardships isn’t just generosity, it’s kindness in action, and it means more than words can express. The food is made with care, but what truly nourishes you is the love behind it. Walking in, you’re not treated like a number or a handout. You’re treated like family. The staff greets you with warmth and dignity, reminding you that there’s still so much good in the world. What The Kitchen is doing reaches far beyond a meal. They’re feeding hope. In times when many are struggling silently, their doors are open and their hearts are even wider. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being a light to our community and showing what it means to care for one another. You’ve made a real difference.“

“Thank you Slim Chickens for catering to BancFirst! We loved our food and it was delicious!“

“Nothing more to say than this is a great location for a great experience. I like to think of this place as comfort food at its best. The chicken fried steak is the go-to, though some may feel the breading is a little heavy. The cocktails are first-class, and while the salsa could be better, the queso (with fresh chips) more than makes up for it. The wait staff is polite and quick, which adds to the positive vibe.

The burgers aren’t the highlight, but the ribs seem to be a popular favorite. I tried the shrimp Alfredo and enjoyed every bite, and of course, the croissants were amazing. If you enjoy a quaint atmosphere paired with satisfying food, this is definitely a place to enjoy.“

“This place is alright. The service is okay, but the food is pretty decent. Overall it's just okay.“
