Stopped in after leaving the Quarter headed back to NTX based on Yelp reviews. Southerns uses boneless chicken thigh meat instead of dry white meat. Husband's no spicy fried chicken sandwich was juicy and perfectly complimented by slightly spicy coleslaw. I went with the first step up spice level on the 3 piece chicken tenders. Darn things were spicy as all get out!. Good flavor with the signature sauce, but definitely NOT mild. Loved the seasoned fries. Daughter opted for the pork chop sandwich which was very tasty, but way over sauced with double aioli and coleslaw. Service was friendly and fast. The dine in patrons were extra quietly munching, so the dining area was nearly silent, with the exception of loud 80s music playing.
Ive been a fan of Southerns for a while. This was my first time visiting the brick and mortar location. I ordered online and order was ready on arrival. They were pretty packed for a Friday afternoon and the parking lot was small and full. I tried the sweet prince and fries and it was delicious! The perfect amount of sweet heat, more sweet than heat. The fries were crispy and well seasoned. My husband tried the classic sandwich and said it was probably the best chicken sandwich he's ever had so we definitely have to go back!
Sooooo I saw a review for this place on TikTok and thought hmmm let me try them since I pass by there all the time. The young lady with the pretty bling teeth was phenomenal! She schooled me on the menu and made my ordering pleasant! They do cook your food to order so there was a little wait. The spot was very clean and had a great atmosphere. The music was amazing, I sang every song that played! Now I ordered the mild tenders with fries and chicken crackling. The tenders were huge and piping hot but tasted like they were fried in old grease and they really had no flavor. The dipping sauce gave it the flavor! The crackling was good but not what expected. They were more on the chewy side!
This is a very strange little place. Yep listed under Poboy but the only poor boy they have is a fried shrimp Poboy with a Crawfish sauce now if I was going to do a shrimp Poboy, wouldn't you logically put a shrimp sauce over it if you want sauce at all. They had what looked like a pretty good queso burger called southern queso burger. Everything is called southern southern that there's nothing really southern about the entire place. It's just a very strange vibe. I won't be back.
Wanda greeted us with genuine warmth and enthusiasm. Her friendly energy made the experience memorable. The Chicken Sandwich delivered on all fronts. The portion size was huge. The breading achieved perfect crispiness while keeping the meat juicy inside. We ordered the spicy but felt we could handle more heat. The Adobo Cracklins stole the show. Each bite had a satisfying crunch paired with bold adobo seasoning that kept us reaching for more. We took home the oxtail special, which came with greens, sweet potatoes, dirty rice and a roll. The oxtail had a deep, savory flavor. The greens were pure deliciousness. The sweet potatoes hit the right notes. The dirty rice had layers of flavor that made us want seconds. Southerns combines great food with warm hospitality. Wanda's service and the kitchen's execution make this spot worth your visit.
Tried Southern's for the first time and it was delicious. I had this place on my list for a while and it didn't disappoint. I had the burger and it was flavorful and a nice portion. The Phuket fries were good. They had a seasoning to them that was tasty and not overwhelming. The sauce to accompany had a nice kick to it. My husband had the chicken sandwich which was enormous. He enjoyed his meal as well. It was definitely worth the price so I would go back when I have burger or chicken sandwich craving.
I got my first taste of Southerns on their food truck for lunch one day and then again at FQFest this year and they never miss. Had to try the brick and mortar once my husband showed me their Instagram post and it was worth the trip to Metairie. The location was really cute: spacious and welcoming. The staff was friendly and was ready to recommend or explain any item. I got the Nice wings and maaaannn were they nice! The sweet chilli glaze and cranberries were a festive and delicious touch. Will definitely be back.
Chicken fried sandwhich is great. Fries seasoned well. Portions are very big. Quick service
I was always thrilled when their food truck would park near my office building-and now we are lucky enough to enjoy an extended menu at their new brick and mortar location. My dining companion and I started with Boudin balls stuff with pepper jack cheese. Basic, but good. We had "the prince" sandwich at a heat level of spicy. Well seasoned, and the cooling kewpie mayonnaise did the trick. We also enjoyed a smash burger with cheddar cheese. Absolutely excellent. The fried onion strips were a great addition to the sandwich. The staff is friendly and their specials advertised on various social media look AMAZING. (Oxtail platter, anyone?!) Try the Phuket sauce.
Personally not for me or my bf but clearly from other reviews people really like it. A little too messy and overpriced for us (but also a good portion of that was tiny fountain drinks). Food was hot and service was good though.
Best chicken sandwich, hands down. Southerns stands out because they use a fried chicken thigh instead of a breast and it's a total game changer. The chicken is always juicy, perfectly seasoned, and fried to perfection. The portions are huge and I can never finish the sandwich and fries in one sitting, so it's easily two meals. The dipping sauces are a great bonus, and service has always been quick and friendly. If you're looking for the best chicken sandwich Southerns is it.
Best. Louisiana. Chicken. Sandwich... EVER! I've heard about Southerns before when they were only doing their food truck, but this was the first time I went to their actual restaurant. To start off, service was excellent! The guy in the front was not only nice and friendly, but he was also very detailed and patient while explaining the menu since it was my first time there. From his recommendation, I got the Southerns Original Spicy Chicken Sandwich ($10.99), their Phuket Fries ($5.99), and a regular fountain drink ($2.95). The chicken inside the sandwich was HUGE! Not only that, but the spice flavor to it gave off a very southern/cajun flavor. The sauce on it had an aioli kick to it, which I really liked. The Phuket Fries were really good too. They weren't stingy with the amount of fries compared to other places, so I give them props for that. The sauce for the fries had a spicy aioli taste to it as well, which made it worth the price in my opinion. The inside was average looking, but was still clean and neat regardless. Overall, I'd definitely recommend trying out Southerns. Friendly vibes? Delicious chicken sandwiches? How can you pass on that?!
Consistent! This place always has perfectly fried chicken and chicken sandwiches. Their flavor profiles are great! They hit all the taste buds! The ambiance is clean and minimal (I enjoy this a lot!). Service is good as always! Keep it up, Southern's!

With its humble beginnings from a food truck to several locations around southern Louisiana. Please refer 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. read more
I thought Southern's was pretty good overall. The menu offers some unique options, including creative chicken sandwiches and a few Asian-inspired fusion dishes that go beyond traditional Southern cuisine. I also like that they feature a daily special that isn't on the regular menu--it adds a nice element of variety. Everything is cooked to order, which is definitely a plus. Just keep in mind that most of the menu is fried, so this isn't the place to go if you're looking for a particularly healthy meal. read more

First: amazing experience. Service was so sweet and helpful. She helped me decide and recommended her favorite sauce, and it HIT (the Phucket y'all, the best out of em. There's lots of seating and it is very clean. I got the original, and the sandwich was massive, so worth the price. The spice level was less than I thought (I just got regular spicy) so I want to try the hotter level. But the chicken was so juicy and batter so flavorful. The slaw on it was fresh and tasty, and the fries shocked me at how good a fry could be! So delicious, crispy, and well seasoned. Didn't even need the sauce but the sauce elevated everything. 10/10 recommend. Stop going to that overrated plain chicken finger chain and spend about the same price on amazing southern chicken! read more
Delicious crispy chicken dusted with spicy seasonings and complemented by a fresh slaw, Southern's proves to be well worth the hype. I ordered their OG chicken sandwich the other day, and I was pleasantly surprised by the spice level and heat. The well-seasoned fries and the Phuket sauce were also super tasty and delicious. That being said, one thing to note is that if you're coming here for the first time, you should probably order "one size up" on the spice level as my fiancé and I were content but not completely blown away with the amount of heat. Case in point, I ordered the "Spicy" heat level but I definitely could have handled the "Super Freaking Hot". I also wish that the sandwich came dripping with some kind of spicy sauce and that the chicken itself was seasoned and not just the batter. All in all though, this place has nice portion sizes, delicious chicken, and quality service plus a few weekly specials like gumbo or oxtails. I can't wait to try more things in the future and I'm excited that NOLA finally has a local version of the Nashville chicken sandwich! read more

We found this place on our way out of the airport (MSY) and were overwhelmed by how great the food was. It's a bit pricey for fast food, but blows everywhere else away in terms of quality. We splurged and, in addition to the chicken sandwiches, we got the pork belly bites too, and they were also excellent. The staff was very friendly and it was clear they really cared about making sure the experience was great. Only disappointment is that they don't have locations in the northeast and are limited only to the NOLA area. read more

This fried chicken sandwich was MASSIVE and so juicy The fries were perfectly crispy and the dipping sauces??? unreal. I got the Phuket sauce kind of like a garlic aioli and it was so good I dipped the fries AND put it on the sandwich. They've got different spice levels and flavors so you can really customize it, plus they also have burgers. On top of that, you get a ton of food + a drink for under $20. Customer service was top tier she even let me sample the sweet heat sauce and was seriously the sweetest. I already can't wait to go back read more
Great food and quick service. Dining style similar to a five guys. Food is really good. Sandwiches are moist and crispy and a decent size. I don't find their spice levels to be that high. Ive gotten the "Super Freaking Hot" and thought it was just regularly spicy. The Sweet Prince is also delicious. read more

I've definitely tried Southerners more than once, but only in the food trucks. This is my first time going to the brick and mortar store. I went around 8: 45pm on a Sunday night which was my fault. But they greeted me nonetheless Very happily. The restaurant for what I can see had a nice setup. It was straightforward to the point you go up to the counter and order your food and they call your number to pick up. I ordered one OG chicken sandwich with zero spice level. That was a mistake. Definitely get at least one level up the flavor is worth it and it's not that bad of spice and the chicken. Patty was huge as always and the other was the spicy chili honey glazed chicken sandwich which was okay. I should have got the OG. It had a spice level that was a little bit above mild But no coleslaw nonetheless still good. The only food item I would change are the fries. I wouldn't get those again. I will try something else. They were pretty plain. Nothing. I believe I would have enjoyed it more if I would have sat down to eat instead of getting it to go and chowing down in my car still a good experience and I'll go again earlier so I can sit down and enjoy the full dining experience read more

I remember having to track down Southerns food truck on social media or by phone just to get their chicken sandwich because they by far make the best fried chicken sandwich I've had. I can't say that about many of the restaurants I've eaten at because I'm very judgemental about every dish I come across. I cannot give any negative reviews about their chicken sandwich, their service, nor restaurant. Lisa and Thomas were a blessing to entertain me in line with their light hearted conversations and genuine desire to make my day better. The establishment is clean and the service is pristine. I can't wait to go back and get another sandwich and maybe try the cracklin. read more
