If you haven’t gotten the chance to try Sweet T’s Southern Eatery you are missing out. I would say this restaurant is pretty valid. I definitely threw down. The catfish and grits were pretty good especially if you like cheesy grits. Surprisedly I liked the devil eggs and I’m not a devil eggs person at all but they were actually pretty good. The Sweet T's Fried Shrimp with their tartar sauce was also delicious and I enjoyed that. My mother got the Sweet T's 1Lb Texas Braised Beef Short Rib but she wasn’t a big fan of it. I think it was a bit too much meat for her. So if you aren’t a big meat eater I would say stay away from that because it is a big piece of meat. Overall the portions are fair and filling. The service was awesome and we loved the ambiance and they played some fire music. Whe

Title: WE WOULD NOT RETURN We planned a dinner on Wednesday night at 7:30pm via Resy to celebrate the end of our women’s Book Club, and we were very excited. The four of us entered the restaurant happily, but we were immediately met by a greeter who was not friendly or welcoming. She didn’t welcome us just asked where we wanted to sit. We asked if we could sit by the window and join the chairs and she said NO! This was disappointing from the start and the place was close to empty. After being seated, we were left to navigate the iPad menu on our own. No waiter came over to introduce themselves or explain the daily specials. After waiting patiently for what seemed like 7 minutes, we had asked the greeter about the menu and she sighed and said she didn’t know and that she would go to call

Five stars for Sweet T’s! The food was great and I loved how many vegetarian options there were. The cornbread with the butter is an absolute must — so good. And the teas are phenomenal. No matter what you order, DEFINITELY get one. Also, don’t skip the grits — they’re incredible. Everything was comforting, flavorful, and done right. Can’t wait to go back!

This was my 2nd time to this location and the food was amazing! This time I got to enjoy my friends reactions to the food that I have already had. I delightfully enjoyed the Beef short rib grilled cheese. The crunchy toast, with the savory beef short rib and the 2 types of cheese was delicious! Along with the side of potato wedges was everything I needed. I had to order a side of the candied yams as well. And to wash it all down I had the Pear Apple T with was refreshing. I am already planning my next visit.

I had the opportunity to visit Sweet T’s Southern Eatery this past weekend after hearing so much about it. I drove over an hour to try the food, so I came in with high expectations. First, I have to say the ambiance is beautiful. The atmosphere is stellar, and the presentation of the food was impressive. Everything looked amazing when it came out. Unfortunately, the taste did not live up to the presentation. I ordered the breaded shrimp, and while it looked great, the batter was completely lacking seasoning. The fried catfish was also disappointing and did not have the flavor or depth you expect from well-seasoned Southern-style fish. The mac and cheese with turkey was underwhelming and needed more seasoning. The yams tasted like they came straight out of a can and were served as-is — n
