25 Best Southern Restaurants near Southlake

“I am officially in love with this place. This was my first time stopping in and right away the manager Michael welcomed me in and offered assistance as I was looking at the menu. I had seen others comment about the poblano soup and I luckily stopped in on a Thursday when it was one of the daily soup specials. I got my order of the soup and spicy pimento cheese very quickly after ordering and both were to die for! Highly recommend for a quick light lunch with great food and service.“

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

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

“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!“

“Ii never liked chicken salad until I ate here. I always go through the drive-thru, and the service is great. The food is superb, and fresh. The best chicken salad, and the best choice for different recipes of chicken salad.
I also love their pickles. This is high quality food at a reasonable price. Delicious!“

“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.“

“Samira at Rowdy Cowboy in The Colony was absolutely amazing. From the moment we sat down, she was incredibly inviting, personable, and attentive. She made us feel welcome right away and checked on us just the right amount without ever being overbearing. Her positive energy and friendly personality truly elevated the entire experience. You can tell she genuinely cares about her guests and takes pride in her service. Because of Samira, our visit was memorable, and we’ll definitely be back. Ask for her if you can!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Hadn't been to Cotton Patch in awhile but decided to drop end for a early dinner. The food and service was great. The portions were plentiful. Our waitress ( Natalia) was very friendly and attentive. My only disappointment was I wanted to get the peach copper but I couldn't even finish meal so I had no room. LOL. We will definitely be returning. It's nice to have another restaurant to add to the Family list.“

“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.“

“My family has eaten at this establishment for years now. We do not eat there frequently since we live about 30-40 minutes away but it's my son's favorite chicken place so we go as often as we can. The food is always great, I cannot think of a single time we've ever had an issue. The staff has always been kind and attentive. However, today was a unique day. My son asked to eat there for his 6th birthday. Some hours have passed so I hope I am not misremembering the name but Caleb greeted us at the door and provided the best service I've ever had at a fast food establishment from beginning to end. As someone who has worked in the food industry and knows the workers typically do not get the recognition they deserve, I felt it was important to notify his manager and write this review. We are very grateful to Caleb and to Slims for a wonderful experience and my son especially enjoyed his birthday brownie!“

“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.“

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