I decided to check out this hidden gem when I noticed the restaurant tucked between two apartment complexes. A little hard to spot as they blended in so well but it's a very cozy atmosphere! Staff is super friendly; the server attending us is kind, sweet and funny. I can tell she enjoys talking with the customers and ensuring we all have a good time. The food is alright; I really enjoyed the blackened salmon. Their fries are great and their entrees come with a side, I chose the soup. Our server provided us with a whole tray of crackers. The only thing I wish was done better was the meat to rice ratio; portion of the white rice that came with the salmon was way too little for the amount of meat. The picture makes it look like there's a lot of rice but it's only around the fish, none below. Regardless, I will come back to try their pastas and breakfast items, which is in my to-do list! read more

Southern Recipes Grill - Blacked Salmon with fries, mashed potatoes and cornbread - Southern Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Worst food in Arlington. Reviews said this was a hidden gem with super friendly wait staff. I will say the waitresses were very freindly and quick to fill your coffee. Coffee was so bad, it had to be two days old. What I would call Truckers coffee. I'm not sure if the breakfest I had was even human grade. I wouldn't have feed that to my dog. I noticed most the people dinning there were gray haired Seniors. People who lost the ability to taste years ago. I love Seniors, but how is leaving all those false 5 star reviews. Must be the ones swinging on their beer with breakfest. Don't eat here, trust me, just don't. Your digestive system will thank me later. read more

It's my first time coming and tried to eat in this place. My daughter introduced this place to me. It's a surprise for me as the outside look of this restaurant looks like a house (not like a normal Restaurant). When I went inside...the atmosphere was totally different. They even have a bar where people can hang around and order beer or other stuffs. The foods are pretty decent and delicious. Overall, I'm pretty satisfy with this place :) read more

Southern Recipes Grill - Catfish, fried okra, black eyed peas, cornbread and chicken tortilla soup - Southern Near Me - Arlington, Texas

I was STARVING and this restaurant was nearby. I haven't been here in a while. I debated between the chicken fried chicken sandwich, the club and blackened chicken pasta. I debated because I had well over 10 minutes before my server appeared. The server suggested the chicken sandwich with a special spicy sauce not usually on it. I said sure. That is where the meal went downhill! The sandwich would have been much better without the suggested spicy sauce. The sauce tasted like Tabasco and LOTS of vinegar. Not a pleasant taste. It also made the bun super soggy. The sandwich came with fries. Very plain fries. Not golden, not season. Just fried fries. I had a glass of water. ONE glass. I was never asked if I needed a refill. The server kept disappearing for long periods. I didn't see her at other tables. Long wait again to get the bill. Was I hangry? Maybe. Annoyed? Definitely. Would I return? Maybe. Recommend? With hesitation. Worth the cost? Meal was just $13...despite the wrong recommendation from the server about the sauce, sure. read more

The food was homestyle and delicious, portions are a good size! We also tried the key lime pie and chocolate cake (those however are small portions so not enough to share just one). Service was good and the decor was ok. It is an old house but goes along with the ambiance of home cooking! The dinner roll is yummy!! read more

Hidden Southern Gem on Hwy 157! I've lived in this area for 11 years and had NO idea this amazing Southern food restaurant was here Their $14 lunch special is unbeatable: an entrée, two sides, cornbread or a roll, and soup or salad. Everything was absolutely fantastic. Tartar sauce, salad dressings and more are made in-house - you can taste the difference! - ranch was so good I ordered the Chicken Milanese with white wine sauce and sautéed mushrooms - perfection. The catfish was fried golden and crispy and the fried okra was spot on. The black-eyed peas tasted homemade, the cornbread was moist and flavorful, and the cinnamon apples were the perfect sweet finish to a hearty meal. A huge shout-out to Bre for the excellent customer service - friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The price point is phenomenal for the amount and quality of food you get. read more

Been going here for more than ten years. Everyone is so sweet and welcoming and the menu is extensive covering so much variety. Overall it is not high end and some might consider it sort of bland but for the money it is hard to beat the value. Lots of options and choices to satisfy the whole family or group. I don't drink but there are times when the bar is quite lively. read more

This place is amazing. Sully and his staff are the best. We definitely lucked out finding it.

Wonderful experience. Staff went above and beyond to meet our needs. Absolute hit on all accounts. Will be back most definitely. Check this place out! read more

The service was really great. The food came out in a timely fashion. The pork chops were cooked perfectly nice moist flavorful. I think we had a good time. Definitely be back again. read more

Excellent service! We were well taken care of. Amazing brunch! Great omelets all around. Highly recommend!

If you're not one of the regulars, they don't give you the time of day and will not wait on you. They are strictly looking to the regulars that over tip them. The food is mediocre. The atmosphere is gross and their bathrooms are unkempt. read more

This place was recommended by a friend & I'm glad they told me about it! I've been in DFW for a long time & I'm sad that I just now discovered them. Affordable prices with portions that are just right. I had the beef philly (you can also get chicken), the filling was generous as the bun had it topped on both sides. The meat was tender, well seasoned, onions cooked perfectly (I am super picky about onions not cooked enough because I'm not a fan of raw onions), & the bun was toasty! Fries were nice & crispy. I also had a slice of chocolate mousse cake, this was a treat. It wasn't overly rich. My friend had a chicken sandwich with green beans, he was happy with that choice & my other friend also ordered the philly... no complaints from either of them! We had another friend join us last minute so we were there for over three hours, our waitresses had a shift change & both of them were so sweet... they didn't seem to mind us just chatting. The place seems really homey, down to earth. I will say the restroom needed a little love, they didn't seem too busy but I'm not sure if they had a lot of staff members working at the moment. My bill came out to $20 before tip, not bad. I would recommend you trying this place if you get a chance! I was sad to see that during our time there were only three or four tables at a time, including us in that count, were occupied. It's clear why they have been here for many years & I hope they will still be here for many more to come! read more

I went to Southern Recipes Grill on Friday for lunch. I hadn't been in a long time and remembered they had good food. Well don't order the grilled chicken. It was room temperature and tough and hard to cut with a shape knife and no flavor. Definitely not freshly cooked. The salad and veggies and cornbread were good. The service was ok but not great. The waitress spent most of her time at the bar talking to customers. You could see her and hear her. The ambiance was ok but the floors were very sticky. Will I go back.....NO. read more

Let's start with the positive the feeling of this place is down home.The waiting staff seems to know the regulars especially the senior. Now the negative I walked in after a couple the hostess asked the couple in front the standard how many and escorted them to their table. Different hostess for me same question told party of two her response ok you can sit anywhere no escort to table. It just kept going down from there. I probably will not give this place another try. It felt as though I was a burden being there. If you are a regular or senior this might be a nice. read more

Classic southern home style cooking! One of the best meals we've had in a long time in a beautiful old building and with great service. Prices are reasonable, too! Highly recommend! read more

I only went here once when first moving to Arlington. The food was not the memorable but I do remember the drinks being good.

Really good food! Let's say you pull a book off the shelf. You study the cover and notice it's old, a bit tattered around the edges and faded from time. But, when you open it up, you discover it's a first edition classic novel written and signed by your favorite author. Well. Southern Recipes Grill is the restaurant version of the tired book. The understated owner-operated restaurant certainly over-delivered on customer service and food quality and value. The table service was prompt, friendly and attentive. I don't think we had to ask for anything the entire meal, and that includes the 'to go' boxes at the end...because portion sizes are very generous. The very generous portion sizes were impressive, but the flavor was pleasantly unexpected. The meal was outstanding! We ordered the special, beef tips with mashed potatoes or rice, and two sides. We also ordered pecan pie for desert. Each slice was over sized, and as good a pecan pie as I've had anywhere in recent memory. This was one of the more satisfying meals we have had in a while. The ambiance definitely could use a face lift, both inside and out. It's old and worn out. But, if an unassuming decor is the price for quality food and generous portions at a fair price, leave everything alone. Who knows, maybe the 1980's ambiance will swing towards vouge next year. Overall, I couldn't be happier with our exexperience at Southern. I felt like I got real value for my money. So, should you go? ABSOLUTELY! ~Enjoy!~ read more

Restaurants should be required to list on the menu if the catfish is swai. The french fries and the okra were good. They serve a small container of Catchup on the side for the fries. Again, you have to ask the waitperson if you want more. read more

Service was great! They were very attentive. My hubby had the fried catfish , which was good. His corn was super sweet, which he liked. My grill chicken was dry. Do NOT order it. I was disappointed in the roll and the cornbread. They were very dense. Flavor for the garlic mashed potatoes were also tasty. I would come back and try something else. read more

Came here with friends from out of town to eat dinner prior to attending the Texas Rangers baseball game. We were greeted and seated immediately upon entering. Our drinks came out really fast. Everyone at my table ordered something different and all four of the meals were the perfect temperature and tasted really good. The portion size was also good. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is casual and laid back and not too loud. I would most definitely come here again to eat if I'm in the area. read more

First time visit and we had chicken fried steak and the special of the day, chicken fried chicken. Mashed potatoes, salad, soup, roll, fried okra and fresh tomatoes. I liked the chicken fried chicken a lot. Nice crunchy coating and perfectly sized portion. Cream gravy was good and taters were good. Didn't like the tomatoes - they were grainy and tasted funny. I liked the bread - dense and it soaks in butter for a great texture and flavor. Soup was OK, but tasted like it was out of a can. DH thought the chicken fried steak was OK, but the breading was thick and didn't stick to the meat. He liked the fried okra and mashed potatoes, but thought the bread was too dense. Great service and love the old house atmosphere. I bet it would be good for breakfast on the weekend. Would come back if in the area, but wouldn't specifically travel just for the food. read more

Been awhile since we've been there, but always loved happy hour and the half price appetizers (hope they still have) but also love the eggs Benedict and eggs Florentine for breakfast. The staff feel like family. Great people. We've been other places but this is still home read more

Cute little family owned restaurant. We came in for a late lunch around 2 pm. I ordered the tilapia, my mom ordered chicken mushroom, and my sister the fried shrimp. We came a little late for breakfast items but my 3 year old wanted a pancake and the kitchen accommodated it. Our waitress was Jenny, and she was very friendly. Everything I ate was absolutely delicious. I asked for my tilapia to be blackened and it was perfectly seasoned. Their signature white wine sauce paired very well with the dish. I licked the plate clean! (Not literally but I ate everything with no need for a to go box). The entrees come with a choice of soup or salad. I ordered the salad. Salad was small but the ingredients were quality. The tilapia comes with rice and 2 additional sides so I ordered the mixed vegetables and black eyed peas. Everything was yummy. I would definitely return and order this again. read more

Ribeye steak chicken fried, real mashed potatoes, salad no iceberg or arugula, lots of wonderful gravy , roll. Great with a $15.99 price! They are in Arlington but I ordered thru DoorDash.

I have been here several times recently, and really enjoyed the food, the service & the atmosphere. Each time I came with a large group and we were seated in a room where we could talk and actually hear one other down the long table, which was nice. I love that their salads are made with real Field Greens & not the cheap iceberg lettuce! Food was good and price is reasonable. Will definitely come back. read more
