The 15 Best Places for Southern Food in Sydney

Esther Assaad: Delicious burgers. Delicious fried chicken. There’s no way (or reason) you can choose one or the other – get both!

Ruth Duru: This is the best fried chicken I’ve had in Sydney. Tried it at Miss Peaches and this is far better. The standard cheese burger is pretty good too. Soft drinks are grossly over priced for what you get

Tom Pistol: Just lovely! Great coffee, great atmosphere and the butter chicken waffle is so great !!

Chung Ho: Great range of coffee options – 3 different blends to pick from for espressos, etc. And the filters are pretty good. The fried chicken and waffles had meh waffles but good chicken.

Mooksy ♔: Coffee was a bit inconsistent today :(. Hotdog are great for kids. Succulent fried chicken with slaw!! Something more substantial – order blacken fish with potato salad

Duncan PJ: Amazing fried chicken and an institution in the inner west

Nick Stevens: Wow, awesome southern style chicken, breaded and spiced to order. Views across the harbour.

Kunal Mirchandani: Authentic soul food in the centre of the city.

Aaron Wallis: Their ribs are amazing. As is their Mac & Cheese

Chung Ho: The fried chicken was good, but the 2 piece is plenty for 1 person. (I got the 4 piece and struggled hard). The mac and cheese was too cheesy. I could only have a little bit of it..

Jacques: Fried chicken fries were nice with the usual toppings. Wings are extremely small prob bc of the $1 promo, wasnt anything great.

Joel B: Fantastic new bar in crows nest serving up southern food and cocktails. Great atmosphere and excellent craft beer list too! Recommend the sliders or the spicy buffalo wings with blue cheese sauce

Zeeshan Shariff: Go for the classic roti canai. Ayam goreng is their version of fried chicken, totally delicious! And top it off with ice Milo. One of the best restaurants in Sydney!

ChillWith me: A plate of roti- Ayam fried chicken and some teh tarik…. Heaven! You can’t book here and the lines are long- so come here early e.g. 11:30am Organise your next hangout here using http://Chillwith.me

Mimi Lu: Fried chicken comes with two decent pieces enough as a meal but do try and fit a salted caramel shake or dessert, it’ll be worth the food coma after.

Kevin To: Try the fried chicken in a basket. Delicious, and without any bones!

Kylie Jay: Everything. But the really fucking great fried chicken is pretty awesome. And the milkshakes. Oh and the macadamia & almond milk lattes are the business!

Courtney Tight: Caysorn is cheap, cheerful and spicy! Try the kanom jeem nam ya pla, mango salad and the Thai-style fried chicken. Recently reviewed in Time Out Sydney (Dec 2012).

Jacques: Dirty bird benedict was delicious. Great combinations with the herb bread & fried chicken. Industrial setting near wicks park

Jiancarlo: Kim Chee chicken waffles are a must. Peanut butter smoothie will change your life!

Chung Ho: Warm and cosy with interesting floats. Live (acoustic) music on Sunday nights. The fried chicken and waffles is a hefty meal…

Joseph Restubog: Be prepared w/ numbers for bucket o’ chicken: 8-10 pieces. Buffalo Wings were out, unfortunately. Southern Fried Chicken ok, but missing flavour. Chili Cheese fries & pulled pork are worth a go.

J: The fried chicken (Paha Goreng Kalasan) lives up to its expectations, but the nasi goreng is way too sweet.

Eunice: Stir fried thick noodles and fried chicken with the brown and chili sauce. Amazing. Just amazing. Eleven out of ten. Yummmmm.

Felicity Tubner: So many things to try, the marshmallows, the toffee apples, the french jellies, the biscuits and the fudge. Seriously if your driving past you will stop to buy. Awesome.

Amila Perera: This place is amazing! Marshmallows, macarons, biscuits and slices and you see the kitchen about 5 times the size of the shopfront. The smell of toasting coconut, oh man I’m in love.

Brian: My God, the food is good. And totally unrecognisable from its American diner origins. Scampi – amazing; mac and cheese – awesome (although penne not mac); succotash – great; maple bacon – too salty 🙁

Jake Andrew: Steak night. First one was cold. Second one had loads of inedible parts. Collard greens were almost inedibly hard and raw. Ok fries. Any green peppercorns in my sauce?! AVOID for food. Cocktails ok.

Astri K: Love the charming theme and great cocktails. Went for Wednesday steak night and it was delicious. Skinny fries were yummy too. Service was super slow last night. Hope it doesn’t happen again!
