4 Best Southern Restaurants near Salado

“Nice dining experience here with one big caveat…the first room dining area is not conducive to having a quiet or normal conversation. Met Lauren who is the manager there, very sweet lady and although we were a walk-in got us a table as they were a bit busy. Our server Lindsey got us set up with beverages and we reviewed the menu. I saw some of the appetizers go by so decided not to start there as they were huge. We ordered the Chicken Marsala and the Texas Pork Chop with add-on side salads. I’m not normally a fan of Marsala with mashed potatoes BUT this dish was delicious and the potatoes were a perfect accompaniment. The chicken nicely breaded and tender while the Marsala sauce was delicious with just the right amount of sweetness and flavor. The pork chop was grilled and charred perfectly and the bacon jelly was “WOW” when combined with the chop. Really good food, a bit higher in the price range (dinner + 1 drink/1 beer for two $100), and good service in a converted old home. Why not 5 Stars…service was a bit disjointed and slow, loud dining area, bringing out my daughters dish with mashed potatoes (pork chop dish) when we discussed over and over again gluten and dairy dietary issues and said no mashed potatoes.“

“It was great live it here“

“Had the pleasure of visiting this establishment along with my family in celebration of my granddaughter's birthday. The food was awesome as it was an eclectic mix of everything. I personally ordered the single serv Southern Fried Chicken upon a slice of toast with sweet baby carrots and seasoned rice. The chicken was buttery without being tough or hard to chew. It was delicious and melted in my mouth. Honerable mention goes out to our Server (Tony) a seasoned host and good at his job. His presentation was professional and impeccable. He accommodated all our needs with a warm smile. Let's not forget the Manager (Richard) who took the time to check with us making sure we were comfortable and offered a complimentary birthday treat of Chocolate Fudge Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream topping with whipped cream and a cherry on top. It was decadently delicious! Richard was kind and obliging making us feel at home. We enjoyed our entire birthday celebration and vowed to come back!“

“Food was good, better than some other places. Desserts were sparse and dry, and boxed. The carrot cake i used to get at golden corrall everywhere is NOT served here. Unless they changed the recipe everywhere to like a box cake mix with tub frosting. The fried chicken was amazing though, as always, and the yeast rolls were better than the GC near my home. Overall, I left full and happy. I would come back!“
