The Southern Cafe - Roselle

Everything is amazing at the Southern Cafe! You can't go wrong with any choice! I haven't had a bad meal there. This visit was extremely pleasant because we had an amazing server who was very attentive and helpful. The place is usually packed, but they get you in quickly. It's worth a little wait. Trust me! I highly recommend it!

Breakfast is hands down my favorite thing to eat. I can eat it all day. (I also believe that adding eggs or pancakes to anything makes it “breakfast”. ?)The Southern Cafe has an overwhelming menu, but there are a few things I want to try so I will return.I decided on the corned beef hash and eggs with pancakes. It was good.The server seemed too busy for us. We were a party of 5 adults, 1 preteen, and 2 toddlers. It was one of those situations when the server leaves for too long so u accumulate a list of things for her to do upon her return. Great thing is she did it all…so ??‍.All in all, I’ll be back.Parking: If it’s busy, you will be parking on the grass if there is space.

Doesn 't look great from the outside but it has a modern, southern ambience inside. Depending on what time you go over the weekend, wait times could be crazy...including even the outside seating! We were lucky the last time we went only 10 mins. Waiters/waitresses are very polite, friendly and professional.Food: Like some other reviewers have said, it is very tasty and flavorful; but it is a LOT of food easily shared by 2 or even 3 depending on what you get. We usually go for the omelette or benny with gritts and a side of pancakes. We get a stack of 2, but they are very thick. I can see how it could easily be over or under cooked! Ours were perfect. Kids get 1 or 2 eggs, silver dollar pancakes and a side of sausage links or bacon.I have a couple minor observations: My wife wanted a regular 'latte '. They said, they only have a 'vanilla ' flavored and not just a regular latte. That was a bummer. For pancakes, I just wanted regular syrup. They said, they only had 'maple ' or sugar free. Strange! This one might just be me. Their coffee mugs are unusually thick!Nothing crazy to stop me from going there again. Reasonably priced. Lot of food options.

The service was great! The restaurant was packed. The menu is a bit overwhelming; however, grits are the way to go with any dish! Prices are reasonable, and the portions are huge!

Recently I went with a friend/daughter She had a beef biscuit sandwich with white eggs. I had an biscuit stuffed with sausage and vegetables. And upgrade the pancakes which we share with three people, was plenty of food. My only suggestion is the menu , very complicated to understand, maybe pictures will be helpful. Tina the server was very friendly and attentive. The regular coffee A+. But my experience was excellent. The parking is small but the hospitality was big.
