Reviews for The Southern Cafe - Crest Hill, IL in Crest Hill, IL

A nice and cozy atmosphere feel. Went here for brunch had a cup of chicken rosemary soup. Lumberjack plate,chicken tenders and... waffles. Food service was great, the portions were very generous. They have a great selection of hot and cold coffee. Read more

This place used to be so good and worth the money. It’s gone downhill. Some of the waitresses are amazing but some are so... dirty looking. Our waitress this time was great but the time before was not a great experience. The whole place is just kind ofdirty. My skillet was $20 was 90% potatoes. This happened twice in a row. I was hoping the first time was a fluke. We won’t goback. Read more

Stopped in with friends last Sunday, whom highly recommended this establishment. I was not disappointed. Server took great care... of our table of 9. Food came out quickly and coffee cup was always full. I had the Cajun shrimp & grits. Normally I would nothave ordered something like this, as I'm a egg & protein person. I'm glad I did. It was loaded with big shrimp, jalapeños,mushrooms, cheese, and all kinds of other goodness. I think I just found my go-to breakfast place Read more

Quick service. The food was delicious. Portions are huge! I had The Nasty Biscuit, got to try it. My partner had The Fresh... Market Skillet, solid. Black coffee was decent diner coffee. Read more

Gave this place a try based off of other reviews. I’m really happy I did. Walked in around 10:15 on a Sunday and was sat down... immediately. Our server was so sweet and funny! She really gave off a warm and welcoming energy. The decor is very southern,weathered cottage like. A nice place to bring the family. While it was very busy it wasn’t too loud. The food was so good!Their fried chicken is AMAZING! So tender and moist ????????. I ordered the “George’s Chix & Bacon Waffle” and my husbandordered the “Nasty Biscuit”. They were very similar. Just swap out the biscuit and Hash browns with a waffle. We reallyenjoyed the dishes. The serving sizes are very large. We definitely could have shared a dish. If I’m in the area again Iwould return to try something else! Read more

First time visiting this place and can’t wait to come back! Expect a wait, but it’s well worth it! Very cute restaurant.... Creative menu items, something for everyone. Prices are reasonable. Portions are generous. I have enough leftovers for the weeknow! The one thing that sets this restaurant apart from others is their staff- our server was Stella (i think - she said it washer polish nick name?) but she was so funny and sassy. She took great care of us! Thank you! Edited- Second time in and wedidn’t sit in my girl’s (Stella!) station, but, we did have Lisa and she was just as friendly, fun and attentive! She madeour second experience here just as enjoyable as the first! Thank you. Will be back again soon. Read more
