First off, let's define what Ol' South is not. This is not a "destination" restaurant, as in a first pick for dinner out. This is not a place where one expects a great and memorable dining experience....

This was my first visit, so I don't have the experience to compare previous decor or management to the past. I loved Ol' South! We went Sunday morning after a late night and took the opportunity to...

I wished I'd gone to IHOP instead! It's overprice for average food, but they do have great service

I am not sure what the fuss is about this place. We had breakfast there this morning and it was terrible. Maybe Sunday is a bad time to go. It was very busy (but expected). Our food was terrible. My wife"s waffle was soft and half cooked (mushy). My hamburger steak was burnt and so tough that I could not cut it with a fork. My eggs were cooked correctly, but they were cold when served. My pancakes were so cold that butter would not melt on them. We also ordered a side of their home fried potatos and they were dripping in so much grease that they were not edible. When we brought up the problems to the waitress, she was very upset about the quality of our food. She left and came back with a new ticket for us. WOW . . . they allowed a $1.80 credit (off of a $19.00 bill). We have to admit our watress was very good (Karen A). She was the only good part of our visit. We herd managment appologizing to a lot of the patrons. Needless to say, we will not be back.

Well, what can you say about the ol south other than thank goodness it's open at 2 am, when the bars close. Nothing tastes better than some nice eggs and bacon when you've had a bit too much to drink!...
