The Southern Cafe Crest Hill

This place has a southern/country feel and will feed your soul. It has delicious food and great service. Our waitress went above and beyond to serve us, we felt very welcome and at home.

Wow this place!!! Its comfortable affordable and delicious. I will be a regular! The food was delicious my waitress the bomb, What I loved was the tables are huge plenty of elbow room. Banana Anna highly recommended!

Food was EXCELLENT! Our server Wendy was so super nice. She was quick and always had a smile. We went on Saturday at noonish a busier time made it very noisy in there. But that’s the just atmosphere. If you don’t like loud, don’t go. If you like amazing comfort food- GO! We will be back!

I’ve been a customer since they were Southern Belle, and I have to admit, the menu was better then. Although they still have a lot of previous items on their menu, there are some things that I wish weren’t just specials that are offered every now and then. Yesterday was the first time in years that I ordered something that I didn’t like. I ordered the sirloin steak and it was bland - absolutely no seasoning! The presentation was mouth watering; served on a plate with so much of the juice on it, I spilled some on my leg. It was tender while I was cutting it and cooked to my liking. Imagine my disappointment when I tasted it and didn’t even taste any basic seasoning like salt and pepper. Will it stop me from going again? No, but I will not ever order steak there again. I recommend the Irish Butcher Block or any of their chicken dishes. The pancakes are some of the best around, the staff is friendly and helpful, and it’s clean and well lit. Either go early or go late if you don’t want a long wait.

This place is amazing! While the line to get in was long, this place is definitely worth the wait. You get a lot of great food for the prices. This place has a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Our food was out very fast and tasted SO good. I am definitely not disappointed and will definitely return!
