4 Best Southern Restaurants near Jefferson City

“My girlfriend and her parents wanted to eat here. We arrived at 2pm not knowing they closed an hour later! Even so, it was a delightful lunch.The food theme here is Irish/Scottish dishes but you wouldn't know it from the atmosphere ?... They would really do well to hire an interior decorator because it looks very disorganized in there- though the lounge seating in the back did look comfy!Regarding the food, it was honestly some of the best I've had in Tennessee. All three of us walked away pleasantly stuffed and shocked at the quality of the food. I had the "Bangers & Mash". Outside of my sausage looking a little too happy to see me- the meat, gravy, sauteed onions, and potatoes were delicious. Even my side of macaroni and cheese was made at the perfect consistency- with a broiled layer of cheese to boot!I highly recommend eating here as the food is a 10/10. My only complaints are the interior and the the hard cutoff at 3pm- though apparently they open later for dinner on Thursdays and Fridays.Parking: I'd say there's about 30-40 spots out front with plenty more available the further out you wish to walk.Wheelchair accessibility: I believe there was a small incline from the sidewalk. Worst case, you may need someone to assist you with hopping the curb.“

“We absolutely enjoy taking our grandchildren there. They love the breakfast and the storeParking: This cracker barrel is located across from a minor league baseball stadium. Check the teams schedule because it'll get very busy.Kid-friendliness: The dining room is decorated with an eclectic collection of antiques. The kids like to play checkers by the fireplace. They also have an interesting game in each table to test your brain power. The store has a decent collection of toys and other great gift ideas. The old school candy selection is amazing.“
