Come eat with me 🖤🫶

My latest culinary adventure took me to Southerns in Metairie, LA, and let me tell you, it was an experience worth sharing! I’d heard some buzz about their CHICKEN, especially the tenders, and I just had to see if it lived up to the hype. Nestled in Metairie, this spot truly embodies that fantastic NOLA eats vibe but with its own unique twist. From the moment I walked in, there was this warm, inviting atmosphere. It felt like a place where locals gather, which is always a good sign. But let’s get straight to the star of the show: the chicken tenders. I opted for a Single Tender order, eager to savor every bite. And oh my goodness, they did not disappoint! Each tender was perfectly golden, with a satisfyingly crispy exterior that gave way to incredibly juicy and tender white meat. It wasn’t just fried chicken; it was a masterclass in seasoning and texture. They had a subtle, savory spice that wasn't overpowering, allowing the natural flavor of the CHICKEN to shine through. Seriously, if you're a fan of well-executed fried chicken, Southerns in Metairie, La, should be high on your list. Beyond the amazing tenders, the menu offers a delightful array of sides that perfectly complement the main dishes. I tried their mac and cheese, which was wonderfully creamy and cheesy, and their collard greens, which had that perfect balance of smoky and slightly sweet flavors. It’s clear they put as much care into their sides as they do their main courses. The portions are generous, making it a great place to go if you’re really hungry or looking to share. The service was friendly and efficient, adding to the overall positive experience. The staff seemed genuinely happy to help and gave great recommendations. What I really appreciated about Southerns is how it blends classic Southern comfort food with a fresh approach. It’s not just about getting a meal; it’s about enjoying good food in a welcoming environment. Whether you're a long-time resident of Metairie or just passing through, if you’re craving some genuinely good NOLA eats, especially some top-notch chicken tenders, you absolutely have to stop by Southerns. It’s become one of my go-to spots for a satisfying and delicious meal, and I can’t wait to go back and explore more of their menu. Definitely worth the visit!
