The Southern Gourmet began as a successful catering business that owner Dawn Hill purchased in 2020, intending to turn it into a neighborhood-style restaurant establishment. The restaurant opened to rave reviews in March of 2022 and has been going strong ever since! Although supply chain setbacks and other post-Covid-related issues sometimes occur, The Southern Gourmet always goes above and beyond to create a memorable dining experience for all customers. If the menu needs to be slightly altered, you can be sure that the creative chefs have an even better option up their sleeve. The Southern Gourmet appreciates the patience and kindness of their loyal customers as all restaurants at this time encounter a problem or two due to shortages and delivery mishaps. Ms. Hill and her staff consider customers part of the Southern Gourmet family, and their mission is to aim to please!
