Southern Belle Restaurant

For a unique dining experience in Choctaw Country, make The Southern Belle Restaurant your first stop. Known as the “Sweetheart of American Trains,” this once-operating train car was used to transport WWII soldiers between Kansas City and New Orleans. It’s since been restored to its original 1940s charm, and serves true southern home cooking (including some of the best homemade pie around). Whether you’re a train buff looking for the next unusual find, or just need good food in a comfy environment, make the Southern Belle your destination. The restaurant is most famous for its Southern Belle chicken—marinated, breaded, deep-fried golden chicken strips served with Southern Belle’s famous house dipping sauce. You can also sample steaks, burgers, fish, sandwiches, and pork chops—all prepared in a down-home fashion.
