I really want to love this place but the service and food is just not the best. We waited almost an hour to get our food, only to get a raw, rubbery grouper sandwich. I said something but unfortunately we had to get home since we were there so long. The waiter did take the food off since it was raw but nothing else, we also got 3 drinks and the bread app along with another entree, and I ended up going the night without dinner… I got the vibe this happens a lot and they didn’t really care if we had a good experience or not.

Food was great. Planning to go back to taste other menu options. Currently there is construction in the area so it was not as busy as expected but it is open normal hours during construction.

Our servers were phenomenal and the atmosphere was fun! The food was not bad. We went for lunch and ordered appetizers to share, burgers, chicken sandwich, fries, and such. Oysters, wings, caprese salad were the starters. Cocktails were on point!!

This spot is usually great, but the last time we were in was a total flop.

What an amazing little hidden gem! We pass by this location often en route to our fancy weekend get aways. Usually have car full of kids so we just stop at PDQ or something easy. Tonight it was just the wife and I, so we gave this place a shot. WE FUKKIN LOVED IT! Started out with the jalapeno biscuit and cornbread and some refreshing (and very strong) drinks. We knew right away we were going to love it once we got these starters. For entrees we had the fried NY strip which was INCREDIBLE and the shrimp/fish/scallop/chorizo pasta. This pasta was some of the very best seafood based pasta I have ever eaten, Delicious. Kudos to the kitchen! We ended with more drinks and the amazing waiter suggest I try a whiskey sour and it was also very good! From start to finish every thing about this place was a homerun. Kudos to everyone at this establishment and to management

Thank you, Kathleena, for such an amazing first-time experience at The Southern on 8th. Your service, recommendations, and friendliness were top-notch today. The fried green tomatoes were so delicious.

This place was SOOOOO good. We had the poutine for an appetizer(didn’t get a picture, we were HANGRY), the country fried steak, herb crusted garden chicken, and the shrimp and grits, plus we all got a side salad. Everything was amazing and the portions were just right. For being made from scratch food, I didn’t think the prices were bad. I’ve seen some complaints, but it’s not much more than a chain restaurant and the quality is far better. You can’t expect top notch food for cheap prices! I’d much rather support a small business like this. Megan, our waitress, was very nice and took care of us. The sweet tea was great too. This will definitely be added into the places we like to dine at when staying at Orange Lake Resort, only a 30ish minute drive away.

Was completely looking forward to biscuits and gravy, they were out!!! Had a burger which was good, don’t like candied bacon on a burger but that’s a personal choice, if you have a problem with salt stay away from the fries! Friendly staff VERY difficult to find parking.

Went here for brunch with my bestie, we were welcomed and sat by Jessica. She went out of her way to make sure our 1st time was fabulous. She recommended amazing breakfast choices and came back to check on us. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!! We most definitely will be back!!

Kat is one of the best servers you could ask for. She really knew the menu and was great at giving recommendations and really made us feel at home. They have wonderful food and great drinks!! We were a large party and were very well taken care of. The apps and mains were all what we expected and we will absolutely be back and be sitting with Kat to ensure a great experience!! I wish I took pics of the food but we all ate it so fast because it was just that good.
