The Southern Cafe 1819 Knapp St. Crest Hill Il 60403

Now, let’s talk about the food— it was fantastic! The fried chicken is simply AMAZING—so tender and juicy. I tried the “George’s Chix Bacon Waffle,” while my husband went for the “Nasty Biscuit.” They were quite similar, featuring a tasty combination of cookie and hash browns topped with a waffle. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals, and the portion sizes were generous; we easily could have shared one dish. If I’m ever back in the area, I’ll definitely try something new from their menu!

I experienced a lovely and inviting atmosphere during my visit. I enjoyed a bowl of chicken soup for brunch, along with the lumberjack plate, chicken tenders, and waffles. The service was excellent, and the portion sizes were quite generous. They also offer a wide variety of hot and cold coffee options.

I had a delightful southern dinner experience. It was quite busy, and we had to wait a bit for our food, but it was definitely worth it. The atmosphere was cozy, and the staff were friendly and quick. We ordered the Sugar Momma and Tex Mex chicken biscuits. This was my first time visiting, and I absolutely loved it!

At the first visit of this place and cannot expect to come back! Expect a wait, but it's worth it! Very nice restaurant. Creative menu items, something for everyone. Prices are reasonable. Portions are generous. I have enough leftovers for the week now! The one that distinguishes this restaurant from others is her staff that our server was Stella (I think she said it was her polier nickname? but she was so funny and sassy. She took care of us! Thank you. Worked second time and we did not sit in my girl (Stella! Station, but we had Lisa and she was just as friendly, fun and attentive! She made our second experience as pleasant as the first! Thank you. Will be back soon.

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.
