The 10 Best Southern Restaurant (US) near Indianapolis, Indiana

Here is a review from an user.

1st time visitor, and it was very good! Ordered “Lauryns Lemon Basil on a croissant”. Very good, but next time I’ll skip the croissant. My side was the loaded potato soup - which was phenomenal! Add a drink, and the cost for this lunch was $.. Clean, good service - definitely a good choice for chicken salad lovers.

Amazing service and atmosphere. We had reservations and we had a great date night. The new American fare was fantastic and our waiter had great recommendations for each course. Our bacon board was flavorful, great variety of flavor. Our salads were amazing. The wedge was one of my favorites I’ve had in a long time , my beet salad was supposed to have pear but was a bit lacking in that flavor, otherwise fantastic. The sides with our meatloaf were tasty, prepared well. Our bread pudding was phenomenal end to a great meal.

I've been to four different locations and this place is *always* good. Their food is so flavorful with a diverse range of options. There's always a beautiful presentation, great service, and prices are reasonable. I'm glad there's so many of these around because it's becoming one of my favorite brunch options. They fit us in near the end of hours for brunch on Sunday, which was very kind. The outdoor seating was packed up here, so I hope that's opening back up soon.

We enjoyed mimosas and their flavored Jamaican Crazy flavored coffee. The Friday Fish and BLT was also delicious! Our server Brittany was prompt and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. Over all cleanliness was above expectation. I highly recommend trying this place out.

From out of town and found this place in an online search, so glad we did. We had the BEST lunch. Soul food that just hits the spot. Every side we tried was delicious. Had both fried chicken and bbq pulled pork and both were spot on. The waitstaff was friendly, helpful and just as excited about selling their food as we were to taste it!! Would go out of my way to eat here again!

OMG...can I give 6 out of 5 stars? Be prepared to get sticky fingers. The Ribs...Good! The Brisket...Good! The Cole Slaw...Good! The Stew...Good! People are missing out on this Underrated and Great BBQ joint with Service, Friendly Staff. Highly Recommended.

Great food, wonderful service. This was our first visit to this location and we were not disappointed. This location was very clean, neat and roomie.

The good was delicious and the staff were super friendly and very accommodating to food allergies. I got the Banana bread French toast it was amazing. They give you syrup with it but you don't need it. It was perfect with out. My friend got a scrambler with veggies and bacon with country potatoes and it was perfect!

Ashley is the most amazing server! I have been to many DLR’s and she definitely made it the best experience ever! Our large group was laughing the whole entire time! She’s cute, fun, and really gets into her job! The food and drinks are great and she found a way to make it kid appropriate for our teenage volleyball players but still funny too!

Literally the best place to eat. I think I was in heaven. My bf and I had never been there before so we decided to go. We assumed it was a sit down restaurant but when we got there we were very surprised with it being a self served restaurant. The lady at the counter offered to give us free samples. Not only was that exciting, she gave us HUGE samples. My mac n cheese sample was like 5 bites. She gave my boyfriend like 3 types of smoked meats and they were all amazing. Everyone was super nice too! Literally every employee looked happy doing there job. The food was so good. It could be in a very fancy burger restaurant. And to make it even better, they gave us a free tub of mac n cheese before they closed. This is definitely a new place to eat for us.

Delicious sauces, no wait, yummy food, great kids menu, awesome selection of sides, reasonable prices and best of all, despite being busy, staff was super nice, accommodating and very friendly. One staff member went above and beyond with her kindness with my kids and they felt special and grown-up. We can't wait to come back. Seriously, those hush puppies!! ❤️❤️❤️

OK my suspicions were correct. Whenever you have a couple of foxy silver foxes at the counter pushing chicken salad you know it's going to be legit... The food was delicious and the sandwich was well made and generously sized. They offer many different styles of chicken salad and they are refreshingly unique. Definitely stop by this place for some food, it's outstanding!

Upon arrival, the parking lot was full and very busy inside, but the friendly staff of hostess seated us immediately. Love the warm, sweet, buttered signature croissant like rolls that are brought to the table by our waiter/server. Our waiter/server was great and very attentive! All our beverages, appetizers, & meals, we're tasty great!! Highly recommend Cheddar's for a warm inviting charming atmosphere, friendly staff of customer oriented employees, a menu that offers a wide variety of choices for great quality crafted appetizers, and meal choices at an affordable price. 😋

It's Cracker Barrel need I say more. Well the food is Awesome and so is the service. My wife and I eat there quite often and the food is always great and so is the service. Sometimes you have to wait for a table but it is well worth it. Homestyle cooking at its best.

They have some delicious food. So far I've had thier ribs, Mac and cheese, yams, dressing, corn bread and apple cobbler and strawberry crunch cake. I don't like the skin on the apples and the crunch cake was made with a whipped cream. I'm not to fun of whipped cream. Other than than the food is delicious.

Passing thru Indiana. Great flavor 🦐, sausage, & corn 🌽 oh, and Gumbo. Utilized Planet fitness and a massage parlor in the plaza next door. I’m ready to ride 🚛 again. Refreshed and full. Thanks Kandice.

Our server was G he was really great. I love that he knows the menu well and he also can recommend great tasty items. That makes a huge difference when u are out and what to try something new. I had pecan.pancakes and Turkey Sausage with scrambled eggs. It was delicious. My guy had the same just with hot cinnamon apples on his pancakes. G had a very busy section but he did great job serving all his customers in a timely fashion. We will definitely return. Thank you for your great service G. Keep up the great work and the positive energy.

Food was delicious. The hashbrown cacerole was incredible, and the cinnamon apple as well. Our server was wonderful. We had an amazing time and will definitely go back. Only drawback is that we had a / minute wait

Very clean cozy little place..The waitress was very soft spoken hard to hear what she was saying but the food was great..the type of food you eat that makes you want a nap afterwards lol

I gotta help out with these ratings cause people needa see that this place is amazing. I wasn’t sure what to expect, this was my first time checking out this place and the reviews were half and half. The price for the food was very reasonable! Had great music. And the women that helped me out were sweet and told us to ask if we needed help with anything on the online menu. My husband and I ordered the plantains with sausage and eggs, along with the presidential egusi soup. The plantains were fried perfectly and the sides were crispy. I had to buy more for myself! Then the egusi soup had the perfect amount of spice and filled me up!! My husband doesn’t like too much spice but he tried it and said it was good. I had leftovers and I typically eat a lot 😅 definitely recommend you give this place a chance.
