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!~

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!

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. Considering the 8 mile distance to my door, the restaurant had the order ready and the delivery guy was at my door in awesome time. Highly recommend this restaurant!

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.

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.

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.

Wanted this place to be as good as it's name-our breakfast was nearly fair. Eggs were as ordered, bacon crispy, grits cold-microwaved and biscuits not homemade but previously frozen.Service was good.Will keep looking for a good breakfast place in this area.
