The Southern Diner offers a classic diner experience with a relaxed atmosphere, nostalgic decorations, and soothing background radio tunes. The menu features a variety of Southern-inspired dishes, including shrimp benedict, cornbread-breaded sandwiches, meatloaf, and generous portions of catfish and shrimp po' boys, all made in-house and at a reasonable price. The hospitality is warm, and the owner often steps out of the kitchen to check on customers. Portions are hearty, and prices are affordable, making it a great spot for Southern comfort food lovers. While some items like biscuits and waffles could be improved, the highlights include the perfect hollandaise sauce on the benedict, a great omelette, and scrumptious chicken wings that come with the waffle. Customers especially enjoy the seasoned chicken and wings, and the catfish, which is thick, juicy, and coated with a crispy cornmeal crust. The macaroni and cheese and collard greens are also highly praised. Though hours are a bit unusual, many find the experience worth catching during the open times, and the food often feels like a little piece of home, reminiscent of Louisiana. Overall, this diner is a must-visit for those seeking authentic Southern comfort food.
