Southern Blues - Hanover

This is a really good soul food restaurant, and I’m not sure why the ratings aren’t higher. I had the macaroni and cheese, which was fresh, creamy, and delicious. The greens were well-seasoned, the fried catfish was good, and the seafood salad was outstanding. I also tasted my man’s turkey wings, and they were great too. Overall, everything we tried was flavorful and satisfying. Definitely worth giving this place a try.

Went here about a month ago and I had to look back at how amazing this food was. Had to travel north due to flights being cancelled after Christmas 2025 and I needed a good, hot southern meal to take with me up north. When I say great customer service, food fresh and out of this world, definitely top with the cabbage and the fried chicken. The strawberry punch or lemonade was out of this world and the half sweet tea/half lemonade was perfectly made for each. It was delicious I had to take a bite before pulling off. Thank you for a hot home cooked meal for my drive and I can’t wait to be back.

I have been going to Southern Blues for years and this was my first time at the Hanover location. I ordered the BBQ beef ribs with collard greens and string beans, plus mac and cheese and a seafood salad. Every single item was packed with flavor. The string beans had that real southern taste with the vinegar and seasoning. The collard greens were rich, comforting, and exactly what I had been craving. The beef ribs were fall apart tender and the portion was very generous. The mac and cheese was creamy and on point. Even the seafood salad surprised me and I am not even a seafood person. It was perfectly seasoned and brought everything together. This meal felt like a real home cooked dinner and I have not had one like this in a long time. You can tell the food is made with care and cooked t

I dont understand the “3.9” at all…. I admit, i was swayed by the “rating” but after hearing about this place from a respected acquaintance, i had to try. I was promptly greeted by the counter. I explained it was my first time and was overwhelmed by the menu with everything looking so good! The menu was broken down in a calm easy to understand tone and i was also advised everything was made to order so the wait would be 20-25 minutes. I waited for my food in their spacious waiting area which was clean and not too loud. I ultimately settled on the fried chicken dinner and everything was cooked perfectly. The yams reminded me of my grandmother’s. The mac n cheese melted in your mouth and had the right amount of flavor and cheese. I have never had a better piece of fried chicken and the c

The fried chicken and smothered turkey were seasoned really well. The sides - macaroni and cheese, cabbage, collard greens, and yams - were very tasty. Better than most other restaurants out here in these streets. Would highly recommend, but you will be waiting a while for your food. So, call ahead, if you can. The half and half - ice tea and lemonade - was excellent.
