Pretty good, this is my first time visiting. Everyone was nice from the phone and picking up my food. The only chuckle that I had was “jumbo shrimp” is a filet regular shrimp so “assume” that is jumbo. Kind of cliché. The flounder was good. I’m not sure where exactly this restaurant is originally from buuuuut the coleslaw was just cabbage sitting in some vinegar type dressing – not my cup of tea. Overall it was okay not some place I would go to on the regular basis

I really was excited to try this place and looking forward to a flavorful juicy burger with fries. It came out fresh to order but it fell flat for me from there. Fries had no seasoning and the burger really didn’t taste like much to me either. Sweet tea wasn’t great either. Customer service was good however and I would give them another shot, just would probably try something different.

Great little diner feel. My family and I have been eating at South 21 since I was born, and I still go almost once a week for a good burger and fries. The tarter sauce is a must try you will never find anything that can even come close to how amazing the sauce is. The fried fish is also great, and the portion sizes are great for the price. One of my favorite Charlotte family owned restaurants!

Wow. I am absolutely blown away. The food is phenomenal. The service was outstanding. We tried the flounder shrimp and burgers. The slaw was definitely different but it was so good and I never like slaw unless its mine. 45 minute drive from me but I will be back.

As stated in other reviews, I got the fried chicken and it had no seasoning not even salt and crust was way to hard and crunchy. I also got fries that had no salt on them either. I remembered as a kid how much I loved the Sunday chicken dinner for 69 cents and I was very disappointed with what they are offering today. I will never go back because there are just to many places that I would go to spend my money that are better.
