4 Best Southern Restaurants near Toronto

“This is a great little gem in Toronto's Junction neighborhood. The brunch was delicious. We had the specials. Their home fries are the most unique and delicious fries I have ever eaten. They also have a cool waitlist option that they use to seat their guests. The servers are very polite and friendly.“

“I've been coming here for years and I've never been disappointed. The chicken is the best I've ever had and so are the cajun fries. I went back last Friday and the service from the two girls who helped my group was top notch!

They aren't lying about their spice levels, so be aware of that. Prices are reflected in the portions.

Absolute must-try if you're in the Toronto area“

“Had an amazing night at Smoque N Bones in Toronto! The food was outstanding - smoky, rich, and clearly made with a lot of care. Cocktails were a highlight too, especially the Cowboy Smash, which was perfectly balanced and full of flavor. Big shoutout to our server Paolo, who was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. Will definitely be back!“

“When we arrived, the reception staff were a bit cold, but I understood it was because they were extremely busy. They managed to get us a table on the patio. When we ordered, the waitress who helped us explained everything on the menu. We ordered a dish meant for two people—and to our surprise, it was easily enough food for four! We couldn't finish it all. Everything was absolutely delicious: the meat, the pasta, and the cornbread were amazing. It's worth every single dollar. Honestly, I recommend it a thousand times over.
