Chris is a very thoughtful and caring waitress. She recognized my husband and gave her condolences for his dad's recent passing. She told us a few memories of her time waiting on his parents.

Food is always good here. I like to try out different things on the menu and am never disappointed. Only issues were the waiter didn't ask questions, like if our check needed to be separate or not. When we arrived we were put on the waiting list and the hostess never called our names/ forgot about us so we had to ask to be seated.

Love the pine decor. Always clean and neat. Our waitress was great. And watching the other waitresses serve customers we saw the same great service. I had 2 huge blueberry pancakes and 2 scrambled eggs. My husband had the skillet. More than enough food in each plate. Love breakfast there.

Stopped in because it was close to the hotel where we were staying. It was cold and raining outside but as soon aswe stepped in we were welcomed by a smiling willing face and seated. Asia was our waitress and she was AWESOME! We had questions about some area attractions she couldn't answer so she called for someone who did. Tabitha came over, though she was busy, and in between her work she managed to give us some wonderful information. The food was delicious and plentiful. I had the whitefish, rice and green beans. my husband had the steak and shrimp, no complaints...only praise! I hope we get a chance to go back before we leave.

Stopped here with my husband for dinner on vacation--felt very at ease at the bar and enjoyed the atmosphere there so much we decided to just stay to eat. We both struck up very satisfying conversations with some locals--honestly one of the more memorable items i took away from our trip. All-you-could-eat shrimp were tasty and I'm already craving the French onion soup again. Definitely would recommend for a no-nonsense dining experience--very refreshing for the downtown area.

I have eaten here twice and ordered a steak twice. The kitchen produced steak that was actually cooked rare instead of ignoring you and sending out a well done steak. If you're like me then you know how hard it is to find correctly cooked steak. French onion soup was good and the staff know their jobs and are friendly.

Stopped in for dinner while visiting the area. We Sat at the bar rather then waiting 30 to 45 minutes. . The atmosphere is relaxed, casual, with a bit of a sports theme and plenty of TVs. The food was so-so. My wife had French onion soup and the parm white fish and I opted for the lake pearch. We shared a tator tot nacho that was the highlight of our dining. The dinner salads were not fresh however the dressings were home made and delish. Joe, the bartender did a good job with conversation and kept our glasses full. Will probably scout out other choices in the area before returning.

This was my first time visiting Southwoods. I got the glazed salmon and it was absolutely delicious. The Buffalo chicken dip was also very good. The side salad was underwhelming, but the taste was fine. The server was a bit delayed with refills but the place was packed and she seemed to have a lot of tables. Overall, I would visit again!

In town for work. Loved the old school feel. Knotty pine, nothing fancy. Just good food and friendly people for a fair price. I sat at the bar to avoid a 20 min wait. I will definitely be back!

Food server was distracted, possibly being understaffed. The food was very good. Try the trout, stuffed with a crab cake. The pie was homemade. Prices are not astronomical.

Host was very welcoming, we had a part of 6. She set up some tables for us and returned to seat us. Food was excellent, great taste. Nachos used shredded cheese which the one in our party did not care for. I had the chicken quesdilla, 3 others had a burger and my kiddo had the kids spaghetti with meat sauce (that came loaded with cheese on top!) Kids portion was a great size. Waitress was friendly and great with our refills, but I was VERY surprised to see the 20% tip already added on to the bill, giving 0 options to tip that in cash. No where is that posted in the restaurant or on the menu, which is a bummer! I would have rather given cash.Great food, Good service, nice little stop for a family to eat.

Food was good. Not amazing but super solid and this is not "fine dining" so to speak. This is a bar/restaurant that serves good, American bar food. They serve breakfast late in the day. They serve dinner early in the morning. I love that. We had a group of 8 bellied up to the bar at 9AM drinking bloody's and eating breakfast and lunch food. They do have a fairly large dining area too. The service was fantastic. Really cool place that will not disappoint.

We stopped for dinner around 7pm. There was about a 15 minute wait. Once seated, Tabitha was our server. She was very friendly and suggested entrees based on what we liked. The food was delicious and well portioned.

Had the Alaskan Cod basket it was delicious! They gave you three large pieces and their pub fries are awesome. My daughter had the club and it was great as well. Our server was ok but only checked on us once when we were done eating. And I know it’s petty but she gave me the wrong salad dressing. Overall I would HIGHLY recommend coming here if you’re in the area!
