Food is good but plan on taking out a small loan or a 2nd on your mortgage to afford it. They are pricey and the food and service don't add up to the cost. read more

Absolutely awful! Food was extremely salty, I came on a Friday around 3pm. I got the whole chicken wings, greens, and candied yams. I sent the greens back because they were so salty to the point I couldn't make it work if I tried. The chicken was salty too but I pulled the skin back and ate it as I was hungry and needed some type of food. I would have sent the entire meal back but I was too tired and hungry to do that to the server who was really nice. I believe his name was Jeremy or Jeremiah. Anyways they really need to improve the ingredients in the food because I love soul food and this wasn't it! read more

There was no wait time when we arrived, was able to be seated right away....according to the reviews the amount of time that it takes to receive your food is longer than usual. We were told twice that the wait would be a little longer than normal....15 mins longer. I think we waited about 45 mins for out food. I had the salmon and eggs that was supposed to come with breakfast potatoes (new potatoes) but received what appeared to be over cooked French fries. The salmon was slightly over cooked as well which made it dry...the order also came with a pancake that was ok. The Tennessee omelet was good, it was filled with brisket and vegetables. The tea is veryyy sweet and I felt dizzy after drinking a class. It was really really sweet. I think they need to fine tune some things in the kitchen as far as the food is concerned. This will ensure that you get what you ordered (correct potatoes and salmon cooked correctly) and that the food comes out in a timely fashion. This could be a nice spot if they work out the kinks.....I noticed other issues but I'm not going to point them out, they are in other reviews on Yelp. read more

I'm sorry to leave a 1 star, but this place needs to reevaluate. It doesn't matter if the place looks fancy, decent or dingy...the food better be top notch (or better than my cooking). We came here during Easter Sunday because all the other brunch places were packed.... worst idea ever..should've went to MickyD instead. I ordered the Chicken & Waffles. The waffle tasted/felt like a sponge!! On top of that, the chicken was hard, flat and the batter fell right off. Oh, I ordered an iced vanilla coffee...and they didn't have that. What brunch place doesn't have iced coffee?? Kudos to them for trying to make it, but it was just half of cup of vanilla syrup and one droplet of coffee. Should've just went with a cup of black coffee when they told me they don't have iced coffee. Not worth the price for the quality of the food!! I read other reviews about their customer service, and I don't have any complaints about their service. They were attentive and fast. Maybe because it was just us and 3 other couples dining?? read more

Came here Easter Sunday and found it to be a decent soul food spot. The catfish is the best! There was a DJ that played lots of 90s favorites, but was a little too loud for table conversations. read more

We enjoyed the first experience and came back and the second experience was great as well nice clean and great service and good food

Went to Southern Eats with the family and it was a cool spot. I got the Chicken fried chicken with greens and red beans and rice. My chicken fried chicken was salty so I switched it out for whole wings (perfect choice). My wife got the catfish with yams and black eyed peas. The peas were definitely purple hull and the fish portions were extremely small. The highlight of the experience was our waiter Jeremiah. J was well mannered and took good care of us. Thanks to Jeremiah I will try them again. read more

Let's just start with how loud the music is in this place!! We ordered drinks and an app and I decided to ask the folks if they can turn the music they said No it was pre set!! I can't imagine that with all the speakers in this place!! I ordered the Chicken fried steak for $9.00 and you have to add the sides separately for $3.99 each!! Picture below is my $3.99 fries!! Wow ridiculous!! The CFS was not bad that's the reason they get 2 stars!! I also ordered Candied yams which I sent back they were just yams from a can I didn't even try them!! I never send back food without tasting that's how bad they looked!! My sons red beans and rice the beans were crunchy and undercooked!! The highlight of the place was our waitress and girl behind bar were super kind! Probably not be going back! Good eating all! read more

This is my personal opinion, but as a true Mississippi girl, i know the fish advertised as catfish is swai. So disappointed. It was so chewy and overall , gets a 0/10. The collard greens still had the stems with made them hard to swallow once chewed. Yuck. I'm sure this place has other great things on the menu, but the catfish is a no go. read more

Geez I am on a roll with bad places to eat . Always check yelp first lol. Server was nice. Place was empty and it took close to an hour to get our food. The burger was not fresh ( frozen pretty sure). The chicken fried chicken was tough and the potatoes were not real potatoes but reconstituted potatoes. Expensive burger with no sides not even a garnish. New to town so I had hope but it was Al around bad. Beautiful place but bad food that is overpriced read more

Hard to give even 1 star. The food was awful and everything was overcooked and the collards were rancid. This was our first time and we won't be back. When I told the waiter I didn't like something, he said "we don't do refunds." He missed the point because I didn't ask for a refund. Other than that his service was really good. Such potential but missed the mark. read more

This was a very disappointing experience! They made us scan a qr code to place our order, then we observed the server taking another tables' order. Ordering this way was very confusing and annoying. On top of that, we had to pay and tip in advance. Not a fan of the service. They need to go back to the way it used to be. read more

Wanted to try a new spot out for dinner and I'm glad we did. The restaurant is spacious and the service was great. I should have uploaded a respectable picture of my plate but I started to dig right in as soon as I got it so I apologize for that. All I can say is they are on point with all of their dishes and flavors. I ordered the whole wings, fries, red beans and rice with a daiquiri and the daiquiri was full of flavor too! My wife ordered the chicken fried chicken but we didn't get to take a full picture of that either lol yall stop by!! read more

I wouldn't even eat this food if I was a starving hostage! Our waiter Ken was great and the best thing about the visit. The food?...another story. It took us an hour to get the slop they served because the chef was in the restroom (maybe she ate the food) Firstly, NOTHING was seasoned AT ALL, the chicken, the fish, the shrimp, the greens...Baby they said NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND. It was TERRIBLE!! The "candied yams" were sitting in clear water and tasted more like rutabaga. Turkey wings were boiled, undercooked and white with canned gravy spooned on top. Greens tasted like they pulled them straight out of the yard and doused them in water. The "black eyed peas" were just BLACK, They ran out of dressing at 2pm on a sunday but I'm sure we didn't miss a thing. read more

The atmosphere is nice.... good soft soul music in the background. There were only 8 people including me in the restaurant eating while I was there. The table beside me was nasty when I walked in and still nasty after being there about 25 minutes. The restaurant was not busy so it's unclear why the staff never cleaned the table. One of the staff was on the floor eating something in a bowl standing around talking. However, no one cleaned the table! Then a group of 3 were standing around chatting but no one ever cleaned the table. My food had arrived and I didn't want to look at the mess while eating so I broke down and asked my waitress to please clean the dirty table next to me. I had fried chicken, Mac n cheese, and collard greens. The greens were salty and seemed like they were out of a can. The mac n cheese was good but could have been more cheesey. Chicken was juicy and the skin had a good crunch. Overall the food was good, service was pleasant and helpful. I would visit again and try some other menu items read more

I would not recommend. First, off the place was empty on a Sunday after church. I should have know better. Food was trash!! Ordered grilled chicken. Cam out hard and burnt, sent it back. Swapped it out for the so called catfish. That's can't be real catfish!! Nasty and rubbery. Greens were bad. Dressing was like cafeteria stove top stuffing. And service was bad. I won't be back. read more

The food was VERY good! Pork chop came out hot and juicy! The chicken was crispy and seasoned well. The cornbread was tasty! I didn't really care for the Mac. It wasn't creamy. I also had kool aid which was good as well! The service was awesome and they paid attention to everything lol I got refills without having to ask and they were really nice! It was quiet as there were only a few people there. I will definitely be going back as a regular as this has become a go to meal for me and it's hard to find a restaurant that serves it perfectly! read more

OMG chicken sweet n Spicy was worth the wait! This is a great restaurant if you have at least two hours to spare. I came in around 10:50 they were still on breakfast/brunch. I really wanted the shrimp n grits so I decided to wait. A new server had taken over at this time. He seemed like he was new and nervous. So I was sure to be empathetic to both of our needs. I ordered a water w/ lemon per usual he said "yea cuz soft drinks are pretty expensive" and then placed an order. After 56 minutes of waiting. My food finally arrived, the order was wrong but the food was ok. I watched other patrons tend to their own table by supplying their own menus and silverware. The owner said they were doing a soft opening, and currently waiting for their TABC license. With a host to direct traffic, a few more servers and a little quicker in the kitchen this new BOB will be here to stay! read more

Need more staff to increase customer service. No one to take my order or refill my beverage. The cook had to assist in the front. The food is great, but declining on quality. They need to get weekly entertainment and staff accordingly to remain in business. A new staff and menu every visit is not ideal. read more

We gave this place a try for a new Breakfast spot. I did feel like we were eating in a club atmosphere based on the volume, type of music, bar and drink specials displayed in-front. I am sure this is a great place to have cocktails & listen to live blues music at night, but it was breakfast Looked like the party just ended a few hours before which is the vibe I was getting from slow staff & interior. The food was good to my surprise, but a little on the pricey side for a normal breakfast. Glad I found a Ad Page Coupon otherwise we would of went to our usual spot. I gave this place a 3 star as this place wasn't crowded w/5 tables at 10:30 & we had to wait for service & our coffee initially. For the price of basic breakfast 2 pancakes would of been nice instead of one since it was so small. $10.99 plus $2.99 for coffee. I would come by for happy hour as they have good specials read more

Southern Eats - Happy Hour Specials Mon-Friday, but it was Saturday! - Southern Near Me - Arlington, Texas

We had fried green tomatoes, fried pickles , fried Mac And cheese as the appetizers . I was able to taste each . They are all really good & fresh. I do think for the price it's not a lot but still good. My entree was chicken and waffles . It's literally deliciousness on a plate . My sister wasn't a fan because she said the waffle tasted like French toast . Which is why I liked it . Also pictured : chicken and waffle strawberry cream, fried chicken , Mac and cheese , Yams & greens . The ladies that had it said it was good/okay . All in all , this was my second time coming and I would come again . Side note : Be prepared to wait currently short staffed . Please be kind to the waiter ! I hate people go places and see they are not fully staffed and complain and be rude . Sorry for typos it 5am lol read more

I just had the shrimp and grits it was bland and just about flavorless. the shrimp was over cooked. I had coffee and the creamer was curdled. the service also lacked a lot to be desired. I will not be back! read more

First, I hate that our group was so greedy we didn't take any pictures. But that is also a great thing. The food was great!! We were a party of 7 and each ordered a few things from the menu. Shrimp and grits, 3-piece whole wings, chicken fried steak, seafood platter + sides. I personally had the 3pc whole wings. Fried to perfection, crispy and juicy. I ordered rice and gravy and greens for my sides. The rice and gravy BOMB! Chef is differently stirring up gold in a cast iron skillet in the back. Our entire table will definitely return. read more

This is my 3rd time coming here and OMG! This place NEVER let me down! The chicken wings are HUGE ( a little pricey. 4.88 /wing) the first time I bought 2 wings and 3 sides and it was 28.00‍. The second time I had 4 sides and that was about 17. The food here is ALWAYS Fresh so I never mind waiting the 20-25 mins the greens always have turkey necks and are hot and fresh. The candied yams are soooooo good . They have the BEST MAC N CHEESE AROUND point . Blank . Period ! And the black eyes peas are a favorite of mine too! I always get good customer service in the drive thru( I have never been inside but I'm sure it's the same ) . In my opinion this place is a hidden gem in Arlington! It's so good . read more
