A TALE OF TWO RESTAURANTS. A very weak fourth star…read more As you walk in the atmosphere is inviting. The dining room is spacious. Everything is in order and looks clean. I was sat immediately and my waitress took my order as soon as I was ready. Both the hostess and waitress were friendly and competent. Even the silverware was basically spotless. Unfortunately that's where the good news ends. I ordered the steak skillet with diced jalapeños. When it arrived it looked fine. The scrambled eggs were fluffy and inviting. When I took my first forkful it went downhill fast. The steak was cut into unappetizing kibble sized pieces. After eating a few bites I encountered my one and only sizeable piece of green pepper. Curious I took the eggs off the top of the rest of the skillet and then lost my appetite. Before me was a brown mess of ingredients. I order meals with a healthy amount of freshies in order to have something fresh and not too heavy, fatty or greasy. This was all of those. I finished the eggs and pushed brown pile away. SUCH A GOOD START! wasted by poor food. A note about the back of house management: there was a lot of standing around. The white guy with the white hair whom I took to be the owner had a look on his face like he just didn't wanna be there. Don't know if it's RBF but at least try to look like you are happy to see people. I'm just so disappointed. I'm not going to make a recommendation this time. They do some things so well and some so poorly. I don't think I could be fair.

Our food was promptly delivered, and everything was excellent. The portion sizes are huge. My skillet was flavorful, but the potatoes seemed a bit undercooked. The pancakes were wonderful. Very sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. The graham cracker topping adds a nice crunch. I normally don't prefer a sweet breakfast, but I would definitely order these again. The pancakes themselves were nice and thick and fluffy.

Really disappointed with our experience at Southern Belle today. We've been regular customers for…read morethe past three years, usually coming in 2-3 times a month with our two girls, so this isn't a review I wanted to write. We came in with a party of seven, and three of us wanted a simple BLT -- bread, bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayo, made as a regular sandwich rather than the club. We were told they could only make the club. That was frustrating and honestly confusing considering they already have all of the same ingredients, plus a fried green tomato sandwich on the menu that seemingly could have been modified. On the way out, I brought it up to the manager because I genuinely wanted to understand why such a simple request couldn't be accommodated. Her response was essentially that they used to have a regular BLT and took it off the menu. There seemed to be very little concern about finding a solution or about the fact that longtime customers were leaving disappointed. Restaurants obviously have reasons for menu changes and policies, but hospitality should still be about taking care of the people who choose to spend their money with you. When a very simple request using ingredients already in the kitchen becomes a hard "no," and management doesn't seem particularly concerned about the customer experience, something feels off. Unfortunately, we've watched Southern Belle decline over the last several years, and today was probably the tipping point for us. After supporting this restaurant multiple times a month for three years, I hate to say it, but they've lost a regular customer. I really hope they refocus on hospitality and the customer experience, because we genuinely used to enjoy coming here.

My husband likes meat, so we go out to eat fairly often so that my husband can get the foods that I do not allow in the house. We went to Niko's Breakfast Club and my husband loved it. There was truly nothing for me to eat except hashbrowns. They were very good, but it would have been nice if they had at least a few vegan options. Vegetarians always have plenty to eat at a breakfast spot. I believe that eggs and hashbrowns (no toast) are suitable for Celiac/gluten-free diets. They do have one gluten-free pancake. The service was fantastic! 5 stars, but they need to expand their menu offerings for people of different dietary needs/choices. Personally, we would not return due to the distance but mostly because they have nothing for me to eat.
