Southern Restaurants in Ohio
When Guy Fieri rolled his red Camaro into Ohio, he discovered that Southern comfort food has found a welcoming home in the Buckeye State. While Ohio might seem an unlikely destination for authentic Southern cuisine, the passionate chefs here are proving that soul-warming dishes know no geographical boundaries.
In Columbus, Katalina’s has earned a stellar 4.5-star rating by serving up creative takes on Southern-inspired comfort food that keeps locals coming back for more. This beloved spot caught Guy’s attention with dishes that blend traditional Southern flavors with innovative twists, embodying the spirit of what makes Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives such a celebration of American culinary creativity.
With one outstanding Southern restaurant featured from Guy’s 2024 visit, Ohio’s capital city is proving itself as an unexpected but worthy destination for anyone craving a taste of the South. Whether you’re a lifelong Ohioan or just passing through, these joints deliver the kind of flavor-packed, made-from-scratch cooking that earned them a spot on Triple D.
