5 Best Southern Restaurants near Toronto

“2024 October 4★
3 year consecutive Michelin rated since 2023 (23, 24, 25). Can certainly say it's good, though have had some definite contenders just as good.

The OG Sando combo $19.50
Large Cajun Waffle Fries
The sandwich with their signature sauces and spices along with a slaw and pickles inside. Pretty good. The waffle fries were great.

4 Pieces Plain $22.00
Pieces of chicken are huge. Spices and sauce just as good. Juicy and tender. Though the chicken without the spices/sauce wasn't very flavorful.

Overall, prices are reasonable. Definitely worth checking out.“

“This is a great little gem in Toronto's Junction neighborhood. The brunch was delicious. We had the specials. Their home fries are the most unique and delicious fries I have ever eaten. They also have a cool waitlist option that they use to seat their guests. The servers are very polite and friendly.“

“Best BBQ I've had in the city but the service is disorganized asH.

Been here multiple times but every time the staff have no system or management. Everyone is doing something and nothing at the same time.

Other than that this place is still 5 stars but pray you're not in a hurry LOL“

“My friend had a big family reunion last night with over 50 people coming in from all over GTA and beyond to King West. Her 500 sq ft condo wasn’t going to hold everyone, so she booked her beautiful condo party room.

So… what to serve? Well… queue SmoQue N’ Bones. She ordered over $1700 worth of food. And it was supposed to be ready for pick up at 4 pm. They were ready with all the perfectly packed containers by 4:05 pm. They apologized for being late (which of course they were not!) and provided us with lots of accompanying sauces and dips. The food was so tasty! Loved the slider, ribs, corn bread, corn, sweet butter, wings…. Incredible!

I walk by here all the time and haven’t once gone in to try the food. After this experience, I would definitely order from them for a party but also will consider it an option next time we are wondering where to go for dinner.“

“Came here with three of my close friends and we had such a great time—lots of laughs and good vibes all around. The food was absolutely delicious! The smoked chicken wings were full of flavor, the grilled chicken was perfectly cooked, and the sweet potato fries were crispy and addictive. We also really enjoyed the potato salad and the cornbread—both were spot on. The service was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be coming back!“
