33 Best Southern Restaurants near Grapevine

“I recently ate here while visiting from out of town! It was the best meal I’ve had in years! The rolls were fresh and melted in my mouth! The meatloaf was amazing, able to taste every ingredient! The broccoli was steamed and perfect for my taste! The dessert was ice cream with blackberry cobbler! It was divine!!! My only bad thing was I would have enjoyed having a spoon instead! There was one waiter taking care of the front part of the restaurant that was on point the entire evening! He was very engaging with all of his patrons and kept everything clean! I can’t wait to find a location close to my home!“

“Good food & service but pretty pricey so not a good value. Even though charging premium prices, all condiments on table were of the cheapest kind, loaded with toxic high fructose corn syrup and a nasty butter substitute with soybean oil and a chemical cocktail of other ingredients. Lord only knows what kind of sub-par ingredients go into the food. For prices you charge, you can do better than this!“

“I went to the Cotton Patch Café with my husband tonight and had a really good experience.
I got the chicken fried steak, and it was delicious—crispy, tender, and full of flavor. The mashed potatoes and green beans were great, and the rolls were fresh and warm.
Even though the restaurant was really busy, my server Justina still managed to take care of everything perfectly. She was super nice, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without any delays.
Overall, great food, great service, and a very comfortable atmosphere. We’ll definitely be coming back.“

“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.“

“I love this place. they have a couple here in Texas and 1 in Nevada“

“Solid above average chicken tender joint. Very similar to Canes or Layne's, but better. The food is well seasoned and has a plethora of more sauces than other similar establishments. Every time I go there the service is great and I get my food quickly. The rewards app is BS but aside from that I have no complaints. It isn't the best chicken in the world but for fast food its pretty darn good.“

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

“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.“

“I love this place - the dance floor is the biggest I have ever seen (I've danced in different locations all the way around Houston/ Spring/ Huntsville) and it is perfectly round which is unique. The workshops held here are incredibly thought out and help the other dancers acclimate to the space. Biggest downfall is during the Summer months - the AC should be turned on because I marinate. Also - the crowd gets larger as the night gets later which is common but it makes it hard to move along the dance floor without traffic. The leads that come out are very strong - if I lived locally this would be my go to. 🥰“

“Best spot ever!! In hurst ❤️👍🏼👍🏼🦾🦾“

“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.“

“First time at Golden Corral. Everything was great! Food, service and value!!“
