★★★★★ 5.0 Donald Ligon · Mar 2026

So what do you do if you are craving some collard greens. You hop in the car and drive 2hrs to Elkin NC. This place is amazing. Collards are some of the best I've ever had. The shrimp and grits were to die for. The pulled pork was awesome. Ohh and the deviled eggs, some of the best ever.

Enjoyed some southern hospitality at Southern On Main. You had me at Fried Green Tomatoes! There was the sweetest dog named Ginger that seemed to be everyone's favorite guest. It was a nice night to eat outside. Overall good experience. I would go back.

Had lunch here recently with my boyfriend and we had a great time! Friendly host, nice bartender, and really good food. They even have a nice outdoor space too! I recommend the fried green tomatoes and the chicken pot pie!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Mark Darwin · Oct 2025

Very cool space, friendly people, and interesting menu. Really liked the Brussels sprouts and the choices of local wines. However, service was rather slow, and the consistency of food over the same order wasn’t perfect. Would recommend going here, just know that Saturday nights are very busy and service could be delayed.

My husband & I ate lunch here. The Reuben sandwich was touted as hearty. It was NOT!! It had scant meat & Sauerkraut, no thousand island dressing that we could see and was a very THIN sandwich. The general appearance of the sandwich was thrown together with little effort or thought. Horrible food, adequate service and so DISAPPOINTING!!!
