| - After seeing the multiple 4 & 5 start reviews, I thought I'd give this place a shot. I knew to expect a small dive-diner, but what the hell, sometimes those greasy spoons are the best places. Southside, however, is not one of those.
It's dirty. Dirty. Not "divey." I mean it's dirty.
The service was friendly enough. The food was nothing to write home about.
I ordered the Kitchen Sink. It's scrambled eggs with bacon, sausage, onion, tomatoes, maybe green peppers... on a bed of home fries. It was OK. My friend ordered the standard 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage with French Toast. She couldn't get past the stone cold sausage to really rate anything further. I checked out the sausage, just to be sure. No exaggeration; stone cold. Of course from my vantage point sitting at the counter with a view of the "kitchen," I could clearly see why. The flat top is so small that they cook all the bacon and sausage then leave it on the side until needed to fill an order.
I suppose, as far as the food goes, they're doing what they can given the size of the kitchen, but trust me when I tell you that it's nothing special. I also realize that judging from the line to get in, I'm in the minority as far as how I feel about the place. With that said though, it's a never again for me.
