12 Best Southern Restaurants near West Allis

“This was our 1st. time here and it certainly didn't disappoint! Atmosphere was really nice, cozy but still fun. Our waitress Eliza was super, checking on us but never pushy. She gave us some great recommendations that were absolutely delicious. We started with sharing a cup of corn and crab chowder, beet and goat cheese salad and sautéed crawfish with crossttini. Everything was fantastic, not to spicy hot just seasoned well. Main course was also great, steak and mashed potatoes....super tender and juicy steak came out exactly like we ordered...perfect meduim rare. That doesn't happen often. Also had the blacken salmon with asparagus and beans and rice. Again can't say enough it was delicious. Then to top the evening off we shared the beneignts with a fruit sauce. YUMMY Kudos to you all the chef and waite staff and Eliza for a great dining experience.“

“Mmmmmm mmmm! Oysters, the catfish, red beans and rice, the bread pudding just all on point!“

“We spent a weekend getaway in Milwaukee for our anniversary and went to Tupelo Honey for dinner on Saturday night. We made a reservation ahead of time online but it looked as if walk-ins would have been accommodated! Our waitress, Courtney, was absolutely AMAZING and made our whole experience even better. The vibe of the restaurant was on point and the food was beyond delicious! We got the skillet pimento cheese dip app, shrimp and grits, chicken and waffles, and pecan pie for dessert. Everything was so good and we would highly recommend this place to anyone who likes good, comfort food! Definitely ask to sit in Courtney's section!“

“Best soul food around in Milwaukee and all around the city ! Definitely hands down the freshest. My food is always hot and fresh! Dressing is the bomb. Fish, yams , Mac , greens is always on point 5 ⭐️“

“The food on today was good except the dressing It was very dry; it was inedible. My one complaint about this restaurant is they never get your order right. And the female cashier this evening around 4 pm 022625 was unfriendly; when I told her that I didn’t get my muffin , soda and extra piece of fish. Bad customer service makes me not want to eat the food.“

“We had a few drinks and some fried snacks. The food and atmosphere and great. We also took a pie making class with Valeri in the back pie making kitchen. The class was supper fun. She is an excellent teacher and very knowledgeable. We made strawberry rhubarb pie and it turned out excellent. Valeri really ran a great class and made it fun and informative.“

“Everything was delicious overall, with generous serving sizes that left me full and still with plenty for later. I also really appreciated that everything was packaged separately, so none of the food was mixed together, a small detail that makes a big difference! The customer service was amazing, and the ordering kiosk was a very nice addition. A few things stood out: the sweet potato pie was a little tart, the grape Kool-Aid was sweeter than the pie. The mac & cheese was moist, creamy, and very good, though I would have enjoyed a touch more salt. The red beans & rice had great flavor but was a bit spicy and slightly dry, likely since it was toward the end of the day. The cabbage was cooked perfectly, though I personally prefer a sweeter style over savory. The okra was flavorful, and the pork chop was seasoned beautifully, definitely a standout! The cornbread muffin was sweet and reminded me of Jiffy with its signature baking soda note. The sweet tea was excellent as well. Overall, great food, amazing portions, and a satisfying experience. I’ll definitely be enjoying the leftovers tonight & tomorrow.“

“I had a catfish sandwich the other day and… The bread was toasted just right with butter on both sides. The onions, lettuce and tomato was perfectly crispy. And the fish was fried to perfection with a tasteful crust. I opened it up and gave it perfect sprinkles of hot sauce to top it off. First to last bite was heaven on earth.“

“Doc's is the best smoked meat in Milwaukee. The portions are satisfying. They have 4+types of sauces. The fries are seasoned just right!! I had a hiccup on a take out order and I called to let them know. The manager was courteous respectful and made it right on another visit. I love the fried pickles. Good food and integrity is a delicious combo. Thanks Doc 😉“

“I had sworn off of JJ's Chicken after my last experience but this new location for me is fantastic! The chicken is not oily. The meal was ready when we arrived. The fries were crispy just like I like them! You have a new customer with us.

Parking: Enough parking in the lot when we were there.“

“Went here for the first time and definitely won't be the last! Great atmosphere, the food was amazing and the owner was absolutely incredible! Thank you, Mindy for such an awesome night with my friends, for my birthday dinner! I would recommend this place for going.out with friends, family, out of town guests, you name it, it is a wonderful place and I cannot wait to go back. You'll get messy and it is completely worth it.“
