I was really craving a fajita with all the delicious red and green peppers, and only had sauted onion and shrimp. Almost a soup. Great service from the only patio server for 30ppl.

Loved the food. Order what they are famous for! Great service and the food was delicious!

Amazing food! Sort of dark... like you're in a basement. But everything is top notch! Highly recommend! Service is great! Food is great!

I stopped in for dinner and a margarita. The house margarita was good, not super sweet or anything, and I'd recommend it. I got the carne asada platter and was satisfied. The food was well seasoned and tasted good. My only complaint was that the steak could have been more tender, but it was all good. The waitress was friendly and our food came out relatively quickly. Their prices are reasonable also.

Helpful, friendly staff. Nice local bar. Great drinks. We shared fajitas. Too much food for two people. Look forward to returning.

I had a wonderful second experience at The South Restaurant! What a vibe. The bar is filled with locals and regulars 24/7 who are always engaging with the bar staff and return time and time again for their hospitality, strong drinks, reasonably priced beers and exceptional comfort food. Lainie was awesome. I manage fine dining restaurants and have a background in high-volume concepts for michelin restaurant groups. She knew the products, personalized the experience to me and my preferences, and was spot-on with checking in, despite a very crowded bar and a full restaurant when I arrived. I see why the locals return time and time again for her attentive and down-to-earth hospitality. The food was awesome. I never would have ordered a burrito with French fries, but alas this was Lainie's favorite and it really worked! The texture was spot on, the fries weren't over or undercooked, and actually added a lot to the "everything" burrito. I imagine this is actually not that easy to nail, especially at the volumes they are doing. I really enjoyed it. Chips & Salsa: delicious! And a huge indicator of what the food is going to look like. Attention to detail and flavor, but approachable for everyone (the hot salsa wasn't too hot, the mild was actually mild and had a lot of flavor). I eat a lot of salsa and finished two salsas... so if you're like me (salsa lover), order a second one! I'm a bit of a cocktail snob, and during my first visit (not with Lainie) was a bit sticker shocked on the price jump for a sweet and sour marg with Corazon. I had asked for Casamigos, but was given Corazon (they are the same price here). During my second visit with Lainie guiding the experience, I decided on a bartender poured rocks margarita (still with sweet and sour) but they were strong and $7. Their well tequila is 100% blue weber agave and not bad, so I wasn't excited to upgrade again. I prefer fresh squeezed lime juice in my margs and I'm always willing to pay more for it with a mid/decent Blanco tequila. At this place they do what they do really well, it's not a craft marg bar, so I had a better experience embracing it for what it is. I wish there was at least one mezcal in their bar program. It's my go-to. I get it may not be popular, but at least one bottle would be nice. Price isn't of consequence, but it is a growing category and there are a lot of fun/creative things that can be made with the spirit. Really great experience, genuine hospitality and fun sociable locals. Thanks Lainie, I'll be back... New Local fan :)

Just went here for the first time with my boyfriend and we really enjoyed it! Walking in, I loved the look of the place; cozy, kinda divey (but in a good way, you know?) with lots of space for seating and a big bar. The bartender greeted us immediately and led us to a booth, where our server brought us chips and salsa, took our drink orders, and the drinks came a few minutes later. My margarita was really good! The menu is way more varied than I thought -- along with Mexican dishes, they serve sandwiches, a bunch of different dinner salads, burgers, and more classic bar foods. I got the fish n chips, which were delicious! The batter was flaky, crunchy, and flavorful, and the fish was moist and fresh tasting. My boyfriend got the burrito platter, and he loved it, he said the green sauce had a nice kick. This place is right down the street from us, and the price was very reasonable for such tasty food and drinks. We'll definitely be back!
