“Southern Comfort, a restaurant part of the SoCo chain, offers a mixed dining experience. The atmosphere is described as fine and the place is clean, with quick service during dinner time on a Saturday. The waitstaff is noted as very nice and attentive. However, the food quality is inconsistent - some dishes like the collards, chicken fried steak, and pulled pork are praised, but the meatloaf, mac and cheese, and BBQ items are criticized for being cold, dry, and lacking flavor. Portion sizes are generous, but the overall value is questionable, with one customer feeling the $100 bill for three main dishes and two teas was too high given the frozen, subpar quality of the food. While the restaurant has potential, it seems to struggle to consistently deliver a satisfying dining experience.“
