Hendersonville Restaurants

Home of the music legend Johnny Cash, Hendersonville has a wealth of traditional Southern fare just waiting to be sampled. For an authentic taste of the area, slow-smoked ribs are a must. You can choose whether you want them sweet, spicy, or somewhere in between, and you can be sure they will be falling off the bone. Fried chicken and catfish are other area favorites and should be paired with the proper Southern fixings like coleslaw, collard greens, corn bread, and okra. For dessert, try a slice of fruit or pecan pie and wash it all down with some sweet tea. If you like something a little stronger than tea, the many fine local beers or whiskey will do nicely.
