Southside Cafe

Very good food and service! My husband and I enjoyed their breakfast very much.

Great little local café. Love their plate lunch specials. The food is good, the service is typically really good, the place is a little small. Overall, it’s one of the best Lil cafes around.

I’m writing this review while my husband is eating the two GIANT pancakes that came with his 2×2×2. The pancakes are great (I had a bite), and he raved about the bacon (perfectly crisp) and fried eggs (farm fresh and cooked to perfection) as well. I had the grilled chicken sandwich — very tasty and perfectly sized for the smaller appetite (if you eat more, you’ll want to order a side). The place is frequented by locals and the cops (always a good sign) and so has a friendly atmosphere. It was crowded at 11:45 am but had cleared out some by 12:30. Why 3 stars? It took 45 minutes for us to get our food and refills on water and coffee were slow and sporadic. There was a rancor among the three waitresses manning the 1,000 square foot area… as expressed by the one waiting on us. But both waitresses we interacted with were friendly with us. Nevertheless… Four stars for food, two for service… brings me to three. But the pancakes may be worth it all. I don’t think the slow service would keep us from stopping in again if another road trip brings us this way.

Best catfish and coffee in town. They are known for their fish, but have great dinners from the grill too. I recommend either the fish, a burger, or the grilled chicken breast. The workers are some of the friendliest I’ve ever met and are quick on their feet. This is a nice place to sit down, have a nice conversation, and enjoy some good cooking. They also serve most of their breakfast menu during the entire day. The pancakes here are great! Warning: can get very packed during peak eating hours but still worth it.

I ask a friend to recommend the best catfish place in town. This was there recommendation. It was exactly what you would expect from a southern style home owned restaurant. It is a dive. The catfish was excellent. Very moist with a good breading. I also had white beans, corn on the cob, and fries. Good cornbread. They offer a variety of vegetable plates. For deser, t I had warm pecan pie with ice cream on top with a cup of coffee. The filling and pecans were great very rich, countered by the ice cream. The crust was a little dry. In addition to my suprise I found free wifi.
