    Good crispy flavorful fried fish, okra, hush puppies, and macaroni. Satisfied my down home southern cooking fix.

    Great staff. Very attentive. Everything hot and fresh! Flounder was super crispy with a crunch. Fried okra was all the way on point..smoking hot! Macaroni was a cheesy slice of goodness. A repeat customer now!

    This was my first visit to Cafe South in Charlotte. The restaurant looks like it was an old Bob Evan's. I liked the country vibes. I ordered the Hobo breakfast and a biscuit. The gravy and overall flavors were delicious! The hash browns were a little overcooked and there was a bit of egg shell in my eggs. I would still recommend the Hobo breakfast though simply because of the gravy. So good! Our server was really nice and always made sure we had plenty of drinks. Overall great experience.

    Every time I come to Charlotte I have to stop at Cafe South. This time I had breakfast. The bacon was crispy and my eggs were exactly how I ordered them. My only complaint is that my grits were a little runny. The service is always wonderful which is a part of the reason I keep coming back.

    Good southern breakfast! My husband and I got the Hobo Breakfast. The gravy was amazing and the biscuit was so fluffy! However, the hash browns were sub par. They were kind of chewy, and I would not get them again. The dish also appeared to have a slice of Kraft American Cheese on it, which wasn't what I would have chosen. The chocolate chip pancakes (our friend ordered that) were delicious!! Our server was so nice! It also kinda felt like you were in a southern restaurant in the 1990s, but it was clean!

    Country Style Steak, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Macaroni & Cheese

    I ordered takeout from Cafe South while I was on the go. Accidentally ordered a Country 'Style' Steak instead of a Country 'Fried' Steak, but was pleasantly surprised by the bed of fresh steamed rice that my steak sat on top when I opened the container. The cube steak was perfectly cooked and the gravy complimented everything. The mash potatoes and mac n cheese filled me up to the brim and the cornbread finished me off. Placing a phone order was quick and easy, and my food was waiting for me on arrival 10 minutes later. The photo doesn't lie, I devoured this meal in the comfort of my own car, I hope no one was watching because it was gone in a minute.

    The food is phenomenal, the ambiance friendly and my server Shae was AMAZING!!!! The fried green tomatoes were fried to perfection and juicy, the sweet tea was just right and the fried chicken was really great! They open at 6:30am and close by 3pm. Give them a try and tell them I sent you!

    Delicious food! I was seated quickly and my meal was brought out fast and friendly. I'd like to try more things on this menu. Next time!

    The food is pretty good I give it 4 stars definitely the home cooked meal vibe. But, why I gave it 5 stars if because of the service. Mrs. Tonya and Shay are amazing even the hostess lady. We keep coming back because they treat us like family.

    French toast at Cafe South

    Back to Cafe South after eight years and it's still a good experience. This building used to be a Bob Evans and they've changed none of the structure. I think the dentist poster by the hostess stand might be exactly the same! We arrived at 11:30 on a sunny Saturday morning and the hostess took my name and promised a 10 minute wait. My name was called about 10 minutes later and we were brought to a comfortable though low booth. Seats in good condition and the table was clean, loaded up with condiments including creamer, butter, salt and pepper, ketchup, jams and Texas Pete https://www.yelp.com/biz/tw-garner-food-company-winston-salem-2?hrid=RMwxhBuzuPzMQY06ZMG-mg. A moment later, our waitress stopped by for drink orders and we knew what we wanted. She brought coffee and kept it refilled during our meal, dropping off a check at some point. My wife got the French toast (hold the powdered sugar, please!) and enjoyed it. She said it was a little soft and could have been firmer. My ham and cheese omelet was served with toast. The hash browns also needed a bit more cooking though they were good. Drinks, two entrees and tip for $33. A bit spendy for breakfast but good service and a good meal. We enjoyed it and we'll be back. [Review 15419 overall, 923 of 2021, number 2969 in North Carolina.]

    Aesthetic: Chill waffle, biscuit and grits spot…read more What to try: Make your own waffle or biscuit! Service: Attentive Parking: Limited Rating: 5/5, The food is excellent. We loved the make your own waffle and biscuit options. My husband made his cornbread waffle with fried chicken, eggs, pimiento and bacon jam, and I made my biscuit with fried chicken, eggs, arugula, gravy, and pecan crumble. Both were delicious, I can't wait to go back and try another combo. However, they are massive so definitely shareable if you just do one or take half home for dinner. The portions are truly generous!

The Wafflery is a fast-casual breakfast spot with a surprisingly extensive menu--think waffles, biscuits, and plenty of other brunch favorites. It took me a minute to decide because everything sounded so good! Everything we ordered was flavorful and hit the spot. You can tell they don't cut corners when it comes to taste. They have two locations, and we visited the Rozzelles Ferry location, which was a great choice because there was more parking available. Just a heads up--both locations get pretty busy on weekends, but the line moves quickly, so the wait isn't too bad. If you're visiting Charlotte or just looking for a solid brunch option, this is definitely worth checking out
