Best Southern American Restaurants in Near Southside

If you like home/southern cooking, this is the place for you. It was SO yummy. I got the fried chicken fingers (crispy outside, moist & juicy inside), collard greens, & mashed potatoes. The biscuits were great too.

This place was wonderful I love the food an the service

Ok, I consider myself a foodie, and I love to travel far and wide for delicious food of all genres. On 11/4/26, a friend and I had a reservation at "Bluebonnet and Thyme," located at 2610 N Houston St., Dallas, TX. The atmosphere and ambiance were top-level. We chose the right time and day because the place wasn't crowded, and we got the full attention and vibe of the restaurant. My friend ordered the deviled eggs as an appetizer, and I had the empanadas too (horrid shame). The pulled-pork empanadas with the pork gravy sauce and guacamole were, first of all, HUGE, and I received 2, but they were sooooooo flaky and good that I could have just melted right off the seat!! The deviled eggs were good, too. I also had a blueberry margarita in honor of democracy surviving the mid-term elections, and it was wonderful. But back to the meal... the entree came next. I ordered the stuffed chicken breast with red and green peppers, mushrooms, onions, and cheese that was big enough for 2, set on a bed of the best garlic mashed potatoes; I also had a side of mustard/collard greens with smoked turkey wings in them and a "Huge" cast iron skillet of butter sweet cornbread....my God!!! My friend had a large "salad"- sized bowl of Cajun pasta with jumbo shrimp, andouille sausage, and chicken that could have fed 4 people. We COULD NOT order any dessert and COULD NOT finish that meal!! IT WAS FANTASTIC!!! Hats off to Chef Kendall Williams & staff....I LOVE U 4 EVER!!!

My family has been coming to The Ranch since it opened and tonight I was able to introduce a buddy of mine, who's in town on business, to one of my favorite restaurants. I took him to Haywire when he was staying in Frisco on one of his trips into DFW, but wanted him to experience "the original" and there's no place like The Ranch! Needless to say, once again, it was fantastic!!

Really dope experience. Staff was engaging, and the music was a vibe.
