Southern Crossroads: Reviews & Ratings
Small town, family owned and run establishment. Worth the drive from Canada, if necessary. I asked the waitress what her favorite dish was. She asked, breakfast or lunch? Lunch. BLT STACKER!! She said it's just something about that sandwich I love. I tried it with the recommended chips. Maaaaannn, I tell you, I can't think of another sandwich I have enjoyed more than that one. The toast was perfect, the bacon was cooked to perfection, the tomatoes were sliced just the right thickness and the mayonnaise was just the right amount. My month's watering now just describing it for yall. They had lots of regulars in there. The service was top notch, friendly, fast and personable. She checked back on me several times and my glass never got close to empty. I saw what I think was the cook come out to hug one of the ladies that come in, the manager was cleaning tables, an elderly lady was rolling silverware and another guy just doing all kinds of stuff. I had to ask if it was family run because everyone seemed to care. It is and you can tell. I will be going back. BTW, breakfast is served al day.
I had a flounder plate with fried okra and macaroni. My husband had the hamburger steak plate mashed potatoes and gravy pantos and cornbread it was delicious. And our server Melissa was fantastic she took very good care of us
Pleasantly amazing experience!! From beginning to end, I enjoyed this visit. It was my first time here, and I’m so glad I came because the staff made me feel as if I was family and had been around forever!! The food was exceptional and the sweet tea Melissa made had me gulping it down for more!! If I’m ever in this area again, I definitely plan on coming back here!!
This is my new favorite breakfast restaurant! They have waffles that are so crispy and delicious! The servers are all friendly, which makes it a great place to be!
If your looking for some good home cooked food this is your spot! Breakfast took me back to granny’s kitchen table!! Staff are extremely friendly and helpful! Establishment is clean kid friendly and spacious enough for wheelchairs.
Do you like home cook food? Genuine friendly service? Clean atmosphere? You really need to try this place. I will be going back when I’m in that area. Country Fried Steak was good, the gravy! The burger sliders did not need ketchup, the seasoning was great! The decor has a “at home” vibe. You’ll be glad you stopped!
We always have a great experience here! This time we got the french toast and sliders-DELICIOUS! Clean establishment and warm, friendly service.
The waitress we had, Adella if I am spelling her name right is the most sweet and attentive waitress. She is so helpful. I have even seen her help the elderly to stand and steady themselves after they are finished eating. She is so caring and she is good at serving people. Very polite and just amazing! The breakfast foods there are very good. Lunch foods I am not as happy with yet. I guess I just haven't found the right meal yet.
