Southern Cafe is a very nice addition to Lakewood. Great food and friendly service. When you walk in, the hostess greets you with "sit wherever you feel comfortable." The menu is vast and filled with everything you'd expect in a southern cafe. I had to try the chicken and red velvet waffles. My wife had the fried green tomato sandwich. Really enjoyed the food but even more excited about the inviting atmosphere. Had conversations with three different patrons sitting near us. How often does that happen? Almost never. And like many Lakewood businesses, it's a place where people of many cultures, races and creeds congregate together to break bread, but in this case, cornbread. Many things on the menu I must try. I will be back soon.
