Let me start by saying I can't accurately review the food here, only the service. Why's that you ask? Because the service is so bad that I don't get to try the food. The first time I went, it was before their menu revamp and I was underwhelmed by the food but extra annoyed by their level of service. I mean seriously it was a Monday at noon, it shouldn't take 1.5 hours for lunch.
Over the next couple of months, so many people kept raving about the food and trying to convince me to go. Since I'm easily peer pressured, I thought "why not?"
Should have stuck to my gut. I went on a Thursday at 1 and despite the place being half empty, no one came to talk to us for over 20 minutes. Look, I'm all about extending my lunch break but at least give me a water while I'm sitting there. I got the attention of a waitress and was told it would only be another minute. Welp. Many minutes later, still nothing.
I am not the kind of person who walks out of a restaurant. In fact, it makes me pretty uncomfortable to do so. But I left Southbound and am pretty sure that no one even noticed.
I've heard good things about the food, but no food is worth waiting 30 minutes to be even acknowledged.
