Best Modern Southern American Restaurants in Dickson

Food was AMAZING!!! Had the girl dinner tower and Chicken curry and it was the best food I’ve had in a while. Will definitely come back soon !

This experience was so wonderful, it could not have been better! The owner served our tea and she is such an amazing person! We had the best time. The tea and the food tasted great and the decor is beautiful. It was the highlight of the trip for my out of town guest. We would definitely return.

Such kind service, stunning atmosphere! Thank you to our server who was so attentive yet not intrusive in the slightest: a gift in hospitality.

My wife and I are out-of-towners. I reserved a table for two at Deacon's New South for Saturday October 24, 2026 only to learn this day was the restaurant's last day of operation. Despite the fact that all of the employees were going to be laid-off and Saturday was their last day, everyone was very cheerful and attentive. We felt sad for them. The food was really good. The service was great. The atmosphere was relaxing. We wish the staff and especially our server, Hunter, good luck in the future.

This great little restaurant is a wonderful locals gem! Even though we're not locals, we were searching for a breakfast place out near the Grand Ole Opry when this popped up. It appears to be in a former house and parking is kind of all over the place but don't let appearances send you away. This place was hopping on the Saturday we went recently -- lots of people were seated inside and outside plus there was a wait. The food was delicious and our server was a perky, sweet young girl. We have a bit of a wait for our food but it was well worth it. Highly recommend this hidden gem!
