I had a much better experience with my dad last night at the Southside than I had the first and only time I had been. I had pretty much boycotted the place after the last time I was there so it took a BOGO entree offer to get me back. The tables were REAL tables not just the plastic lawn tables as were being used previously. It is quite charming, and the ambiance is the biggest draw. I am still not super impressed by the food, but it is better than Applebee's. The food would get it a 3 star, but the atmosphere brings it up to 4.
