32 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!“

“We had 18 independent seniors in our party and the staff was so helpful and accommodating. The food tastes great and the portions are huge. Definitely a place to visit in grapevine.“

“Tremendous beer hall with great burgers and sweet potato fries. service is always great and experienced the dog friendly patio for the 1st time on Saturday and bit the dog and I give it 2 paws up!“

“We stopped by Rowdy Cowboy on the Fourth of July and were so glad they were open when so many other places were closed. The restaurant was fully staffed, the atmosphere was fun and festive, and the servers were even dressed up for the holiday. They also had all of the soccer matches on the TVs, which made it a great place to relax and watch the games.

The food and drinks were both reasonably priced. I tried the mango beer, which was refreshing and perfect for a hot summer day. We shared the queso, which was really good, and our entrees were even better. The smoked wings were delicious with great flavor, and the Rodeo Dip Sandwich was a hit as well.

The standout of our visit, though, was the customer service. Our server, Savannah, was fantastic. She was friendly, attentive, and genuinely on top of everything throughout the meal. When a small issue came up with my order, she handled it immediately by bringing in the manager without me even having to ask.

Ashley, the manager, was equally impressive. She resolved everything quickly, made sure my meal was remade, and made the situation right with professionalism and kindness. It was clear that both Savannah and Ashley truly care about creating a great experience for their guests, and that level of service did not go unnoticed.

Excellent food, great prices, a fun atmosphere, and outstanding customer service. We’ll definitely be back. A big thank you to Savannah and Ashley for making our visit such a positive one!“

“My husband and I tried Lolo’s for the first time on Sunday. We learned that when going to Lolo‘s, you want to put yourself on the waiting list on the app before walking in, we waited two hours to be seated although the music was great and food was mighty tasty. Definitely comfort food. I highly recommend chicken and fish mashed potatoes and collard greens were off the chain Not to mention the cornbread. I have to say the food was definitely worth the wait! We will be returning soon!“

“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.“

“When entering the establishment I was greeted by three attendants behind counter. They all had welcoming smiles and was ready to assist with the menu. The customer was very inviting. I love the atmosphere. The restrooms were clean and so we're the tables. The food was good; however, the classic chicken salad was a little dry. Otherwise I had a fantastic visit. You all should stop by.“

“From the moment we arrived Welles took care of us and throughout the stay we had exemplary service. We have stayed at Hilton’s around the world and this one will be in my top 5. The room was wonderful, food amazing and pool outstanding. The Fourth of July brought many challenges but they made it look easy. Thank you Southlake Hilton for making our stay a fabulous memory.“

“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!“

“Love chicken salad, this to me tastes like the stuff my mom and gram made. Came with fresh fruit and a cookie for dessert. Really enjoyable and will stop again when working in the area.“

“I stopped by yesterday afternoon for a late lunch, and was immediately greeted. The staff was very friendly! Ashlyn was very helpful, as it was my first time in and I wasn’t sure what to get. Food was great and I really enjoyed my experience, I will be back!“

“We loved our meals here! Definitely recommend the spicy chicken sandwich and the pimento cheese queso and the waffles!!“

“Good food, good service large menu and menudo on the weekends“

“Hot juicy and perfectly cooked. The owners are absolutely the nicest and caring folks ever. I ordered 2pc and casually mentioned I was referred by friends in the neighborhood and whether a thank-you or a mistake I got home with an extra chicken breast in my box, either way classy, classy and certainly worth every dime. Please support your local small businesses. Ill be back for sure.“

“Good food. My family and I have been coming there for many years. Great steaks. My son and I had the 6 oz sirloin , bk potato and the side salad last night. The sweet tea was great!“

“Our waitress was great. The place was completely empty when we got there. I figured everyone is at Good Day Cafe.

What we ordered was delicious and within a great price range.

Something I did not like was the 3 buck upcharge for chicken friend chicken breakfast if you prefer chicken over the chicken fried steak breakfast. At Good Day, both options are priced the same .

After our meal, I realized why it was empty.

They do not do senior citizen or military discounts or discounts of any kind :/

People will go where they feel appreciated. Not that the service did not exude that. The establishment can do that by honoring those discounts. Its not always about the discount, its about the principle.“

“Love love the happy hour ! Food is always delicious! Fast service and great friendly servers !“

“We came in during the dinner rush and COREY was amazing! He waited on our table and a few others but you’d never know it because he made sure he stopped by every table and asked if the food was good and if they needed anything! And the Strawberry salad was great even with my cold and being sick I enjoyed my experience! You need more employees like him!“

“Amazing food, drinks, patio and atmosphere! 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10!!“

“Great place for Lunch & Dinner.I love their Wings & Fried Chicken. Biscuits are simply mind blowing. I am glad that they are following CDC Guidelines for Covid-19 very strictly.Employees are told to track their body temperature & maintain personal hygiene throughout the shift. I will recommend this place to friends.“

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

“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.“

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

“Had a wonderful egg white omelete breakfast before leaving to return home. Will differently recommend to everyone!“

“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.“

“I go there often to get mainly tender chicken good place to eat highly recommended

Parking: Plenty space to park

Kid-friendliness: It's a well known place for family meals

Wheelchair accessibility: Access to the place and the tables have access to replace chairs for wheelchair accommodation“

“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 ❤️👍🏼👍🏼🦾🦾“

“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 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!!“
