I came here under advice of my lovely nephew. I ordered the original chicken sandwich-mild, an…read moreorder of fries, and a drink. My order was delivered to me in a short time and I set to eat. Guys, it was THE BEST CHICKEN SANDWICH I'D EVER HAD. It was lava hot, juicy, and greasy. It was also absolutely delicious. I was concerned that the thigh meat was going to taste different. But I could not tell.The fries were crinkle cut, but were seasoned well. Didn't even need ketchup for them. The place is very clean and they had 80s music playing in the background, my favorite decade of music. Not surprising, being an 80s kid. The damage all told, including a tip, was $25. Is it expensive? Yes. Is the quality and quantity of the food commensurate to the price? Also yes. Is it worth the hype? ABSOLUTELY YES. I was also informed there's a Hammond location. I will definitely bring my family there, as it's closer, to try them out as well.

With its humble beginnings from a food truck to several locations around southern Louisiana. Please…read morerefer to the website for locations. We went to the restaurant in New Orleans (Metairie). It is off Veterans Blvd. It is on the right side as you are driving east. Please be on the lookout. Otherwise, you might pass it by. Tends to spring up and drive by. We almost missed it. This is a fantastic location! Kinda tight and almost missed it. Parking is very limited. If you get discouraged you cannot find a good parking spot. I believe you may park on back street? Do not hold me to that. Worst case, you can always get your order to go. It was our first time. We were curious about and not many restaurants offer fresh made pork cracklings. Usually you have to buy it at a local market or know someone. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They briefly went over a few recommendations. We started with of course, order of adobo fresh pork cracklings. Adobo or traditional** crispy pork belly, adobo sauce, topped with garlic peanut rub Southerns Queso burger - 6 oz. beef patty*, pickled jalapeño, queso, beer battered onion ring with order of fries. Tender meal - Choose your spice level. 3 jumbo chicken tenders, fries, and tender sauce. (Mild) Southerns Original Chicken Sandwich - Choose your spice level. Boneless chicken thigh, Yuzu aioli, slaw, housemade pickle. (Mild) I was curious about the Phuket Sauce. So I got an order too. This tastes great! Not spicy at all. Do not let the pepper fool you. It has a little kick but not spicy at all. All are well seasoned. Few of them you can choose your spice level. We all washed down with fountain drinks. They do offer catering services and possibly call ahead ordering. Please reach out to them for options. If you are in the mood for something different but great food. Give them a try if in the area.

It was pretty busy for a weekday lunch and it seemed the bartender was the only one serving the restaurant full of folks. I posted up at the bar thinking it would be my fastest option. He was damn efficient I have to say. He got me taken care of and in and out in no time. He even took time to answer some of my questions about the menu. It's your typical New Orleans place on the inside. Lots of random art, some awards for Ron, and a bunch of signed dollar bills pasted on the wall. I got the Yumbo Mumbo Gumbo, that's the Gumbo with fried shrimp added. Holy hell it was good! I realize that blasphemous, and kind of an oxymoron as well. I don't care, it was fucking fantastic!!! I cannot wait to come back here again! It will be a regular stop from here on out when I am down in the land before time. Come and get you some! If you don't like it, get out of the city now, you don't deserve to be here anyway. '26 - 93

In a large shopping center. So parking is not an issue. They have plenty of parking that surrounds them. They have bunch of handicapped parking spots in the front with ramp on the right side. They do have a few steps in front for easy access. As you walk in, you are greeted by the staff. They mention that someone will be with us shortly. We went on a Sunday before it got crowded. They said we lucked out. They usually get busy when local churches get out. We quickly paid for our table and advised us we welcome to sit anywhere we like. They said they offer many discounts available. Please ask before paying. We sat at a table near the front of the restaurant and easy access to the buffet. They mainly have large tables with hard wood seats and no padding. The waitress quickly took our drink order. Started out with an Arnold Palmer. Rare that they offer that. I don't know so far that another restaurant that offers this. And an ice water. She mentioned that they offer a small selection of beer? We declined. (Drink responsibly) The first plate was sample plate to get my lay of the land. Unfortunately my first plate was full. I noticed that they offer gumbo. So I had to come back for another plate. No offense, the cup was not enough. I was surprised that they served fried swai not catfish. The cornbread was delicious! Usually they are dry at most places. Maybe they been sitting out so long they dry out. This is not the case with them. The gumbo was seasoned just right. It is only chicken and sausage gumbo. Not seafood. Usually you can tell when it is freshly made. To me, it not only look good but taste great! Unfortunately they did not have ice box cake available. Few of the reviews mentioned to definitely grab a piece. However, they did have freshly made bread pudding and chocolate delight. Both were delicious! I could go on about the food. I digress. They offer free Wi-Fi but is password protected. If you are in the area and want some good food. This place does not disappoint. In my opinion.

It's quaint and easy to miss--there's very little signage--so keep your eyes open. Trust me, it's worth finding! I had the stuffed bell pepper , and when I say stuffed, I mean STUFFED! It was packed with ground beef and shrimp and had fantastic flavor. The cabbage was absolutely amazing, and the yams were so good and naturally sweet that they basically became my dessert. I also added a cup of gumbo, which was perfectly seasoned and had a generous amount of sausage and shrimp. More than anything, you could taste the care and love that went into the food. There's something special about supporting a local business where the food feels homemade and the people genuinely appreciate you being there. Thank you, 3 Southern Girls, for a great first experience. I'm grateful to have discovered you and look forward to coming back! Great food. Friendly staff. Local ownership.

The staff is friendly and the portions are substantial. However, today's order was disappointing. The gumbo was nothing but rice in a thin broth, no visible seafood or vegetables. The shrimp with the shrimp platter were small, overcooked, and rubbery, and the macaroni and cheese was missing the cheese. read more
