South 21 Matthews

I've always loved this place as a kid but I have to admit a few things have changed. The Cole Slaw was not as good as it used to be and the Tarter Sauce tasted like extreme GARLIC was added. I'd still continue to eat here but I'd make a different food option. I'll try to go back to the "Hamburger Steak", which used to always be my FAVORITE!!

Great food, friendly staff. They're very quick usually, even during peak times. A neighborhood must.

I had the hamburger steak for lunch. It was very good. It came with fries and slaw. The fries were good, but the slaw was awful. I'm really sorry, but the slaw needs some major work. To begin with it needs to be chopped, not stringy, and use a mayo base. The atmosphere and staff are so AWESOME, I guess I can just overlook the slaw. Family type restaurant with a '50's vibe. You'll ♡ it.

Makes you feel like you stepped back in time. Nice diner with good food (they give you a lot) and excellent prices. Got a pork plate and jumbo cheeseburger. I have been close to this place a lot over 15 years - sorry it took me so long.

Dropped in last night for my favorite burger at the best burger place around. The Jumbo Cheeseburger is my favorite. The South 21 has been around for a long time. And nobody else can compete also I love the 50's - 60's Era music and theme the restaurant has. Everything is all original right down to the way they cook the burgers and fries.
