If you haven’t been to Rachel’s Southern Style Restaurant in Watkinsville, it’s an absolute must if you love true Southern comfort food. ️✨
They start you off with complimentary cornbread that’s unbelievably soft and fluffy—the kind that melts in your mouth and sets the tone for the entire meal.
Today I ordered the home-battered chicken tenders, and they were perfectly juicy on the inside with a golden, crispy coating. They came with steamed cabbage seasoned just right and thick, creamy mashed potatoes topped with rich brown gravy. Every bite was comforting and flavorful—it was incredible.
On past visits, I’ve had the meatloaf, green beans, rutabagas and collard greens, and they’re all solid, satisfying choices that taste just like home-cooked Southern classics. Rachel’s consistently delivers hearty portions, great flavor, and that warm, welcoming Southern feel. Highly recommend. ❤️

The country fried chicken and country fried steak were excellent, served with mashed potatoes and carrots with raisins or cornbread pudding—our choices from a wide variety of available sides. Everything was delicious, with a true homemade, comfort-food style. Well-prepared, flavorful dishes that really hit the spot. Definitely worth coming back

I was told to try this southern style home cooking. The meat loaf was tasty and the Rutabagas was just out right hands down yummy. Must eat for a mom’s home time meal. Thumbs up all the way.

I had a truly comforting meal at Rachel’s Southern Style Restaurant! The hearty Southern classics like tender fried chicken with creamy white gravy and rich mac and cheese hit all the right notes. Generous portions and a warm, welcoming vibe made it feel like dining with family. The daily rotating sides are flavorful and fresh, and the homemade desserts were a lovely finish. Great spot for authentic Southern home-cooked food!

The food here has the perfect southern style recipes. I am impressed!!! The kindness of the staff is wonderful and even their guests are a delight. The Mac n cheese is amazing! And that vanilla almond cake made me bite my lip it’s so good. They also give very hefty servings. I’m in love!

Good, quality southern food. Plenty of parking. Nice and friendly staff. Clean bathrooms. My family particularly enjoys the meatloaf, yams, carrot raisin salad, hash brown casserole, and fried fish.

Superb food. Corn pudding was the best we’ve ever had. Fries are perfectly crispy. Country fried chicken is phenomenal. Awesome atmosphere and service. Will be coming back for sure.

This place is going downhill – fast! Bland, premade veggies, overcooked fried chicken and undercooked fried steak, reheated yesterday potatoes… Racially motivated discrimination of the table next to us – it was embarrassing to get our drinks and bread before they were even greeted, and they were there before we walked in!
