The Southern Cafe - Crest Hill, IL

This place was on my list to try while I was in IL for a week. Last day here. WORTH it. We were sat immediately, the waitress Bria helped choose between two coffees and two meals!!! Husband loved his meal too, has leftovers for tomorrow. Tha k Bria for a wonderful experience for my last meal on IL!!!

I came in to the southern cafe today and I ordered the chilaquiles, cinnamon roll pancakes and my mom ordered a BLT we paid 50.57 and the food wasn’t that good the food didn’t have any flavor and I think that was too much for food that didn’t have any flavor. We had a wonderful waitress named Vicky.

Spacious restaurant. Friendly service. Food was fresh and came out quickly. Reasonably priced. Food was good. We had catfish & Grits, Denver omelette, fried green tomatoes, and a fruit punch lemonade. Grits were bland, but the mushroom sauce on top was flavorful. Everything was good. Atmosphere was pretty quiet for a packed house and everyone including the staff, were mannerable.

This place has never let me down! Biscuits and gravy is great, pancakes and skillets are as well. Evry time I have gone here no one is our groups were unhappy, and all enjoyed their meals. Definitely recommend. 👍

One of the most attentive and intuitive servers I have had, maybe ever. This was also the best restaurant biscuit I've ever had. Made a super tasty sandwich. The Irishman (corned beef) skillet was house-made and very tasty. Good coffee, great breakfast. All around impressed and eager to go back and try again.
