47 Best Southern Restaurants near Farmers Branch

“Fantastic meal from start to finish. Had an absolute great time at Roots. Pear-Martinis, Cornbread, Seafood Gumbo, Black-Eyed Pea Hummus, Short-Ribs, and Warm-Butter Cake w/OJ….Period.“

“👍👍👍👍👍Pete’s Cafe has officially become my go-to breakfast spot in the Carrollton/Farmers Branch area. The vibe is classic diner comfort, the staff is friendly and quick, and every plate that comes out of the kitchen looks like real home cooking.​ The breakfast here is outstanding. From Migas and corn tortillas to hearty omelets and toasted English Muffins, everything is hot, fresh, and generously portioned. Coffee is constantly topped off, and prices are very reasonable, which makes it easy to turn “let’s grab a quick bite” into a regular habit.​ If you’re in or around Carrollton and want a great sit-down breakfast instead of another chain, Pete’s Cafe is a must-try.“

“The food is delicious, but when it comes to paying for your food they bring this little machine to your table to payout mine you they already put the gratuity on your bill, even if there is 2 or more. The waiter or waitress have a nerve to ask for additional tips, but you don’t know that they already charge you gratuity and asking for more money. I don’t think this is fair and right to do. Me and my husband came for our anniversary we enjoyed everything, but telling us that you have to share your tips with others and asking for more money is very wrong. Not good for business 🤦🏼‍♀️“

“Lisa, our hostess went above & beyond to accommodate our party of 12. She and our waitress, Serena were fantastic!!! The food was absolutely wonderful, the French press coffee was so good. A very special thank you to Lisa for guiding the way on a great brunch for our large group!!“

“I have been eating here since they closed the one down in Fort Worth back in the 90's. I can honestly say I have never had a bad meal here and everything is extremely fresh.“

“We had an incredible experience at Yardbird Southern Table & Bar with a party of 12, and everything was flawless! The food was absolutely amazing - every dish came out perfectly and full of flavor. What really made the night stand out was our server, Austin. Handling a group our size isn’t easy, but he was attentive, organized, and kept everything running smoothly while still being friendly and fun. He truly went above and beyond for us. Highly recommend for both small and large groups -great food, great service, and an all-around fantastic experience. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Visited this restaurant for lunch and this time I brought the family and we tried different foods from the menu. The chicken and beef fajitas were so delicious and well seasoned, the chicken fried steak was cooked to perfection and the gravy made it a heavenly food item. The sweet tea satisfied my thirst from an outside temperature of 98 degree farenheit. Our waitress was so friendly and ready to serve our children as well, as our children enjoyed their cheeseburgers and chicken tenders meals. She made our experience a great one and highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion.“

I will recommend this place to friends.“

“My husband and I lived in Louisiana for 6 years and boy do we miss good Creole/Cajun food! Bayou Market never disappoints! The crawfish pies are my go to!“

“Mel is absolutely the best! He and Daniel made our family Thanksgiving gathering at his restaurant feel like home. Our parents would love knowing that all of their kids and grandkids were gathered around the table together enjoying food that was just as delicious as Mom would have made in her own kitchen. We thank you, Mel, our “brother from another mother,” for the amazing food and even more amazing company. We are so grateful that you were there to join us! Happiest of Thanksgivings to you and yours.“

“Just like Mom used to make...“

“Food was good. The cucumber jalapeño lemonade was a TRIP! 🙃“

“ohh i loved krispy krunchy chicken its tender chicken burger do try that“

“Loved it!!! Kayla was awesome!!! Great food! Great service!!!“

“Best tenders I've had in a long while. Was genuinely surprised. Unlike Cane's and other popular places, the chicken is not hidden under mounds of breading. Sauces were top notch. This is my new favorite tender place, and I hate tenders places.“

“Ok I’ve been here for years, there’s not one near my home so when I have to opportunity I take advantage of it
The food was great and the cookies for dessert was good as well
However I didn’t give a perfect score because with several employees working behind the counter and sitting in the dining no one greeted me
I looked several of them in their faces and nothing
The lady that took my order was sweet and I did nothing here greeting others. I ordered take out and they called my name and again no thank or anything
Maybe I’m expecting too much lol“

“The crawfish (especially the Who Dat style) are SO good. The charbroiled oysters are heavenly. We also love the hushpuppies and Jambalaya egg rolls! They have Happy Hour starting at 4pm, with specials on several menu items. The servers are all super nice and friendly. We always leave there happy and full!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Brew City Kitchen & Cocktails with a large group of at least 15+ people. Marissa was our waitress, and she did an outstanding job! She was incredibly nice and handled everything with attentiveness and professionalism. Despite the size of our group, she ensured that everyone was well taken care of and that our orders were accurate and timely. Marissa's exceptional service made our dining experience truly enjoyable. Highly recommend!“

“Never had a bad experience here rather it’s brunch, dinner or just grabbing a drink! Great food and service!“

“Today we had Sunday lunch at Cheddars with my daughter and son-in-law. The food was just so, so. However, our waitress, Lauren, was so sweet, smiled with her eyes. And very informative when we asked questions. Cheddar's needs to keep a personable waitress such as Lauren.“

“Drove past this place countless times and finally decided to give it a shot; glad I did! We ordered the catfish with shrimp, the ceviche, and the seafood gumbo. The catfish and shrimp were solid, and the ceviche was a nice touch. The gumbo was the only item that didn't quite hit the mark for me, but everything else delivered. To top it off, we grabbed a table on the outdoor patio and enjoyed the meal with a perfect spring breeze, honestly one of the better settings for a casual seafood dinner. Definitely coming back to work my way through more of the menu!“

“Love this location I came in with quite a large to go order that was very detailed and Preston and Chloe were so friendly beyond helpful with my order.. CC is very lucky to have them on their team..“

“I love the food. The vegetables are the best. I love cornbread with my veggies but the cornbread muffins have absolutely too many/much Eggs.“

“Kids eat for $1.99 on Sundays. The chicken tenders are good the Fry's are good. The hot wings are good. Also the chicken and waffles are delicious and the combo is 5.99 on Wednesday. My kids like the food here. What I don't like is you have to ask for key to use the restroom. They use to have tvs playing the sports shows and now they are always off. They use to have jazz music playing and now they don't. At the other slims chickens the tvs work and the restrooms are unlocked.“

“One of my Go To comfort food places while traveling as I know I will get a good meal. Have been eating at Cracker Barrel locations since 1977 and have purchased items in the store from clothing to snacks to gifts.“
