The Most Legendary Desserts In The South, From Classics To Cult Favorites
In the South, we don’t play around when it comes to dessert. Our layer cakes are the tallest, our pies are the flakiest, and our portions are the largest. That’s why so many iconic sweets were either born here, or made famous in our region, like this list of famous desserts from Southern restaurants. All of these places are notable—many have won national and local awards—but their desserts are what draw people from around the country, and even the world. Customers know they’ll be ordering these dishes, whether it’s Key lime pie in Key West or the best peach cobbler in Atlanta, before they even walk through the door. And believe us, these legends truly live up to the hype.

In 2025, Zach Top was named the New Male Artist of the Year at the ACM Awards. He followed that by winning a Grammy for Best Traditional Country Album thanks to Ain’t in It for My Health.

A hidden mansion on Atlanta's Ponce de Leon Avenue gets a new life
A century-old mansion hidden behind a gate on busy Ponce de Leon Avenue has found a new life as an events venue. Why it matters: Moon on Ponce reactivates a circa 1920 former inn, communal living space and short-term rental with ties to the Allman Brothers Band. Zoom in: Husband-and-wife wedding planners Pat Maddox and Candace Marshall Maddox spent more than a year restoring and reimagining the property to create an eclectic and whimsical venue option for clients of their company, Smooth as Butter . That included hauling off roughly 25 dumpsters of junk and debris and converting outbuildings into spaces for brides, grooms and indoor parties or movies, Pat Maddox told Axios.
