7 Best Southern Restaurants near Edmond

“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“

“Had a fantastic meal at Slim Chickens. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and full of flavor, and the tenders and sides were fresh and delicious. Everything was served hot and quickly. The staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout the visit. The restaurant was clean and had a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. Great value, great service, and consistently tasty food.“

“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.“

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

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

“I recently discovered Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen after seeing a TikTok video, and I’ve already visited three times. Every meal has been genuinely excellent.

I typically order curbside pickup. I struggle to prepare healthy meals for myself at home. In today’s climate, it’s surprisingly hard to find a restaurant that offers solid, healthier options at reasonable prices—so Cheddar’s has been a welcome and refreshing surprise.

The food is consistently delicious, the service is prompt and friendly, and the prices are noticeably lower than many similar chains like Cracker Barrel, Texas Roadhouse, Chili’s, Red Lobster, and Olive Garden. It’s rare to find a place that delivers great food, good service, and strong value all in one package.“
