Stopping through here to drop our dog off at a sitters while we take a vacation and searched for a place to eat. Southern Grocery came up and it looked very interesting. We are SO happy to have found this place. Fun atmosphere with unique decor that is rustic, modern, hodgepodge and vibrant all meshed together. We ate in the main dining area, they have a large bar room with tables and a stage for live music. It's A beautiful exterior with a patio for outside relaxing and dining on both sides of the building. Our waitress was amazing. She was very friendly, knowledgeable of the menu items and very attentive. Made some great recommendations, too. Our food was delicious! We will definitely return on our next trip to the area! read more

My family has been here several times and it is always consistently good. They are always quick to seat us and the service is always good. I have tried the shrimp and grits, pork skewers, and crab claws here. All are good but I don't prefer a tomato based shrimp and grits so it missed the mark for me. I LOVE their cheesy grits though. Best I've ever had. I also love their brunch options! We will definitely be back. read more

The service was slow on Saturday afternoon. The menu has many options. The house salad was fresh and full of bacon, egg, cheese and croutons. The ranch dressing was good as well as the croutons. The salad was large. Two shared it as an appetizer. The fried shrimp had a good taste, but the shrimp was dry. The twice baked potato was a treat. I haven't had one in a long time. The fries were crispy and hot. It took two request to get the condiment. The burger was good as well, it was cooked medium well as requested. The decor is unique and welcoming. It had a southern living feel. We did not try the peanut butter pie. We want to go back to try that. read more

Best food we have had in a really long time! We live in Huntsville and it would be worth the drive to get more delicious Cajun food. We got the gumbo - super creamy and tons of seafood and I got Salmon Zydeco- my salmon was on a bed of seafood cornbread dressing with a corn dish poured on top. It was an explosion of flavor in every bite. My husband loved the shrimp and onion rings. And the dessert was so good too. I cannot say enough good things about this place. We will be coming back! Great service, food arrived fast and totally delicious. read more

I got the pork chop and it was the best I ever had. It was really delicious. We did not have to wait long at all for the meal.

Great food. Will definitely be back when we're in the area. Stuffed shrimp was excellent.

Been meaning to try Southern Grocery since moving to the area a few months ago and finally, finally made it happen this week. This place is definitely a gem hidden away in Sheffield. We were greeted warmly and led to a variety of tables LOL until the hostess in training found the table that the had been told to seat us at but we got a nice tour of the restaurant on the way. We sat in the bar area and were very impressed with how clean and tidy the bar is kept. We were greeted by our server Harbor and he made a few suggestions on cocktails and when we asked about a certain beer on tap, he quickly got the answer from the bartender instead of guessing and having to come back. Husband had on-tap beer and I chose the salted watermelon mojito - which was amazing. Perfectly crafted. Harbor was attentive and answered all questions about the menu. So many things we wanted to try but ended up with the BLT and Ribeye. Steak was a little on the thin side but seasoned well and cooked medium rare flawlessly. We ended the meal with the pecan pie which honestly could have been a wee warmer but we were advised that its barely warmed so it doesn't melt the vanilla bean ice cream - in retrospect, I think I would have opted for warmer pie and ice cream on the side or something. Lukewarm pecan pie just doesn't do it for me. 3 beers, 1 cocktail, 2 entrees and dessert and bill barely came to $90! Hell of a deal for a nice restaurant. Southern Grocery is our new local favorite and we can't wait to come back! read more

The atmosphere and service were great! Let's face it though we go out for the food, and it was just ok. It wasn't bad per se but it wasn't something I'd make a special trip for. read more

Good food, nice staff and cool drinks. I highly recommend this to anyone in there area

My family and I had an incredible experience here: wonderful servers, delicious food, creativity in the kitchen. Zydeco with Gnocchi was off the charts along with the ribeye and lobster mac. No misses here at Southern Grocery! read more

Wow! Excellent meal. Cool vibe - 1st visit and we will come back. How could we not have known it has been here a year and a half? Service was really good. read more

Food was not great. Steaks extremely over seasoned. Redfish was very dry. Service was poor. Never received any drink refills and only seen our waiter three times. Once for our order second time for appetizer that had to be sent back because of food allergies that was asked about before ordering and then to receive the check. Not the hype we were expecting and not worth the price. read more

Let ne begin by saying I like Southern Grocery. Until tonight my experience has been very good. So I hope tonight was a one off. Got off to a good start by being seated right away. However after our order was taken wehad a lengthy wait for our food. Our server came back to state that the kitchen lost our ticket. Server apologized and resubmitted our order. He offered a salad or appetizer on the house while we waited. That was a nice touch. When we received our food I was disappointed in the composition and the tempatures of the food. My muffelata and onion ring was ok but not great. The sandwhich was served on a hoahie roll instaed of traditional muffelata bread. Instead of layering individual slices of meat, it looked like they took a half a pack of pastrami lunch meat and put it on the roll. The onion rings were good but luke warm. My wife's fried shrimp was good but the cheese grits side were both hot and cold as if the nuked it only part way. One of the others in our party had zydeco chicken with twice baked potato. When it was served the chicken was buried under a large pile of corn which had to be scaped away to get to the chicken. This was a surprise to everyone in our party. Made the dish look bigger than it was. That amount of corn was a total waste. One final item, one would have expected that since this was a reorder that it would have been served hotter than it was. I will give Kudos to our server. He was great. read more

Southern Grocery My girlfriend and I went out for date night at Southern Grocery on a night in September. We were greeted promptly by our server, Ben, who welcomed us warmly and offered suggestions for an appetizer. After ordering drinks we landed on the Southern Trash Board, which is the Southern/Zydeco riff on a charcuterie board. A few minutes later, Ben delivered a board with: pimento cheese, three Devine Deviled Eggs, whipped feta cheese, smoked sausage, pickles, naan bread (I think), pork-rinds, and a sriracha honey chutney. The combinations were fantastic, and every bite satisfying. A short time later out came Ben with our entree's. We opted for the Zydeco Shrimp with corn maque choux, crawfish stuffing, and southern style turnip greens. Ben asked if I wanted pepper sauce to go with my greens. After tasting them I declined! They were flavorful to the point of being competitive with Husk's greens out of Nashville. I was quite impressed with the maque choux. The blackened shrimp was also quite tasty. My girlfriend opted for the Pork Tenderloin skewers, wrapped in bacon and brushed with the honey sriracha glaze. Sides were: cheese grits, and the lobster Mac and cheese. The lobster Mac and cheese was definitely worth the $6 upgrade because it had lobster in every bite. And the tenderloin was also savory, juicy, and cooked to perfection. I can say without a doubt that we will be back. I'll be asking for Ben again! The atmosphere has a timeless charm that works perfectly with the menu. It wasn't loud at all so we were able to have a wonderful conversation over our meal. I highly recommend this eatery for the price point. Expect to pay a little more than other local establishments, but also expect to be impressed! read more

This was my first visit. My brother raved about it so I was eager to try it. - Atmosphere is nice and casual. - arrived Sunday and seated quickly 205p. Post church rush. - server very polite and smiled. Took drink and appetizer orders immediately. - however, dinner order taken 225p but not served until 315p. We all felt that was excessively long, especially since we were the only ones there post the lunch rush. So dinging them for that. - my chicken was overcooked and dry, which was disappointing. Chick-fil-A, grilled chicken breast are more moist than what I was served. Huge ding for that. - the kids fries were delicious! - presentation was nice. I'll give them one more chance. read more

First, Yelp needs to update the operating hours for this restaurant. They are open for lunch, and the get a huge lunch crowd. We went there for lunch while in the quad-cities area. It is a very nice restaurant, and big inside. The waitstaff are kind and very helpful. I had the house salad with salmon. It was a big piece of salmon and looked great...and it was great. My husband had the lunch special...jambalaya...and said it was great. Their bar is huge, and that same evening we stopped in for a beer. Eclectic scene, and good beer choices an great mixed drinks along with a good wine selection. read more

Great food and awesome atmosphere! Friendly service. Beautifully decorated inside and out.

Food, ambiance and the service wasn't bad The server needs more training !! He hurried away from the table and that was annoying read more

Stopped in for lunch, so glad we did! Had the whipped feta for an app while we decided on lunch, it was truly hard to decide! The bar menu was solid as well, sampled a few drinks served by Ryan with true southern hospitality. Great place to enjoy a delicious meal, watch a game and have some drinks. Definitely check it out! read more

We've tried Southern Grocery twice and disappointed is a nice word to use. First time I got the crawfish stuffed shrimp and the shrimp was COMPLETELY RAW. 2nd visit we waited over an hour and a half for our food. Never received all of our trash board appetizer which was $20 just for that and didn't receive all of it. The waitress who was helping our waitress had a horrible attitude and gave us attitude like answers when we asked where the rest of our appetizer was. We never received the pickles or sausage for the appetizer. Entree was cold but yet had to wait 1.5 hours for it. $105 completely wasted. Will NEVER be back. read more

Beautiful restaurant! Love the vibe! Drinks are great! My only complaint is there's too much "creole" & "crawfish" on menu , maybe change the menu every season like Odette. Otherwise, there's only a few things I'll eat. This isn't Louisiana:) read more
