At most restaurants, the au jus can be bland or forgettable, but this one was rich, full-bodied, and incredibly flavorful. It elevated the entire sandwich. My husband and sons each ordered the chicken and waffles, and not a single bite was left behind. Every piece was eaten -- which says everything. My only small criticism would be that the thick-cut fries could have used just a few more seconds in the fryer. Other than that, perfection. For four of us, the total came to around $80 before tax and tip -- an excellent value for the quality of food, service, atmosphere, and location. We will definitely be back.

Rather thin and rubbery. I requested it with Grilled onions and mushrooms I got a mound of Mush gravy spread over the steak (spread because it was a failed attempt at a Gravy). With raw onions in it. The menus were faintly printed in small script font the seating arrangement is a bit overcrowded as well. We had to move our TABLE for a gentleman in another party to sit at his table. We felt intruded throughout the remainder of our dinner. Their conversation was literally ours. 243 South definitely has the vision of the assignment to bring the next level dining experience to a small town. I encourage them to keep trying perhaps pay more attention to the customer comforts rather than the Bougie dispositions. and get your cooks lessons. C+
