25 Best Southern Restaurants near Southlake

“I went to The Henley with high expectations based on my past dining experiences with Executive Chef Patrick McElroy, which had always been strong.

During my visit in February, I ordered two petite filets, both medium rare. Unfortunately, they came out overly charred to the point of being crunchy and burnt. It was a clear miss on execution, especially for a steakhouse-level dish.

To be fair, the waitstaff and bartenders were excellent—attentive, professional, and did their job well.

After initially not receiving a response, I was later contacted by Food & Beverage Manager DeLance Woods. He handled the situation professionally, was polite, and took ownership in a way that reflects well on both the restaurant and the Hilton brand. That level of follow-up and accountability matters, and it changed my overall impression of how they handle issues“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“a great experienci for me!.. exquisit food“

“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 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!“
