DEARING, Ga. () – During every visit to Dearing, the Your Hometown Roadtrip team hears a consistent recommendation: check out Deep South Cheese and Grill.
In this episode, the team decided to drop by and chat with the owner, Brittany Brown, to uncover what makes the restaurant a local favorite.
What is Deep South Cheese and Grill?
“We took over Deep South Cheese and Grill in 2023. The original owner, Gino, introduced this fantastic cuisine to the community, and we just wanted to keep his legacy going. We’re a small, family-run burger spot. Our menu features freshly made cheese curds prepared daily, alongside our signature poutine dishes, which are a delightful Canadian specialty. Essentially, poutine is like Canadian-style loaded fries, and it’s absolutely delicious,” Brittany explained.
What do people say when they try this out for the first time?
“We’re known for our burgers, and our cheese curds, so we get good reviews as far as those go. Our burgers are more like a smash burger, so they are not thick but they are big, very flavorful, very juicy.”
How does it make you feel to operate such a classic place in the community?
“I mean that’s the whole purpose, again I feel like Gino established a very great restaurant, and we just wanted to keep that going. It’s such a good place, we ate here before we took over, and I just like the small town family environment, and I just want a place for people to be able to come with their kids, relax, get a good meal, and enjoy themselves.”
What’s your staff like?
“I love my staff, we like to cut up, we like to have a good time, try to make it as fun as possible, we love trying to interact with a lot of our customers, we have a lot of regulars that come in here and cut up with us. We just try to make it a fun environment.”
The Your Hometown Roadtrip team wants to thank the folks at Deep South Cheese and Grill for the food, and the conversation.
