Southdale Village Family Restaurant

We went for brunch yesterday at Southdale. First time there. The decor is very nice. Clean and “informally classy”. A place in which you’d be comfortable. Smartly decorated. I guess, maybe I was expecting more of an older diner atmosphere, or something, from the name. The staff members were amazing, we were greeted and seated, then talked to by about 3 of the staff members during or time there. Not intrusive in the least, just friendly. I had iced tea, looked up, and there was a “refill” already on its way before I was finished, and served with a smile. The food was prepared quickly and served hot. A couple of minutes later, our sever checked that all was ok, I joked I just tried the toast so far, so in a few more moments she, in a playful way, “checked” again how I was doing with the main dish. Ok, now about the food. Very tasty! My wife had a club sandwich real turkey served with crisp (but not over done greasy) hot French fries (of course I had to try some). I had the Mexican skillet delicious. Mexican seasoned ground beef, scrambled eggs, sour cream and salsa served on a bed of what I’m assuming are “home made” pan fries. Mmmm mm. Think sort of like breakfast nachos if you’re into that kind of thing, and I am! The ground beef was nicely spiced and teamed with the salsa added a nice “pop”to the flavours of the egg and potatoes. It’s been said “you eat with your eyes first”, and on that note, everything was plated and presented in a pleasant way. We saw a few more dishes come from the kitchen destined for other tables, and each of those looked vey nice as well. I’d totally recommend this place. It seems to me that they take great pride in their business. We noted certificates in the entrance way that, to us anyway, prove that. The appearance, the staff, and the food all make this a worthwhile place for you to try. Enjoy!

I went to this restaurant for breakfast this morning and everything was delicious. Despite being full, the food came out very quickly. Unlike some breakfast places that serve overly greasy and oily food, this restaurant's food was neither. Our waitress was very attentive and kept our coffee cups full throughout our meal.

A great place for comfort food soups and sandwiches are reliably tasty. All of the soups I've tried here have been hearty and delicious. The clubhouse is excellent real roasted turkey breast, none of that awful deli type stuff. Tried the spaghetti once, which wasn't bad but a bit on the bland side. Consistently wonderful service from staff who truly seem to care about pleasing their customers not so easy to find these days.

I had a great experience with my traditional breakfast this morning: two eggs, two slices of toast, hash browns, and three sausage links. The portion was generous and kept me full for 5 hours without needing anything else! The price was fair for the amount and quality of food. Despite the busy crowd, the servers were attentive and constantly checked on us, refilling my friend's coffee. I would definitely come back for another meal!

Amazing breakfast and the staff is always friendly. They come around with the coffee on a regular basis and don't push you out : I've never gone for dinner or lunch so I can't comment on other meals
