We were passing through South Boston at lunchtime and saw this place on Yelp. We got there right at 11:00am when they were switching over from breakfast to lunch. The place was clean and welcoming. We ordered the Holler and the Green's folly sandwiches with a side of Hash brown casserole. Oh my goodness, both were two of the best sandwiches we've ever had, and that hash brown casserole was fabulous, we were lucky that was still available since it is a breakfast only side. The staff was working their tails off and you could tell they cared very much about the product they put out. Great downtown location. Will definitely be back if in the area again!! read more

Whenever we visit my mom in the Halifax/South Boston area of Virginia, we make it a point to check out the local spots--and this time, Southern Plenty did not disappoint. This small, cozy restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating and delivers that unmistakable Southern hospitality--warm smiles, friendly chatter, and a sense of community that makes you feel right at home. You order and pay at the front, and the staff brings your meal right to your table. Even though there weren't many people working, the service was smooth and timely--and honestly, we weren't in a rush anyway. The food was good, comforting, and true to that Southern flavor I love. And yes--they serve mimosas, which made the experience even better. Would I come back? Absolutely. Southern Plenty captures everything I adore about small-town dining: good food, good people, and a place that just feels like home. read more

Loved the Green's Folly sandwich and their brocolli slaw, sandwich has lots of turkey in a croissant. I took home half for dinner!

Southern plenty is a place you can go watch the world go by and enjoy amazing food, breakfast or lunch absolutely spectacular, all of the drinks i've tried including the Holly Dolly are absolutely worth getting in a 24oz. Everyone that works at southern plenty is always so kind and patient to even the slightest modifications, checking in and making causal conversation makes this place feel so much more inviting. read more

Great stop in South Boston for a quick bite and some fresh brewed iced tea while watching the cars go by on Main Street. We got the low country sandwich and southern bean salad. We enjoyed the break and the service was kind and thoughtful. Always a great place to stop off the 29 south to Charlotte. read more

Always a great time at Southern! Been in town for almost 2 years and this place has been consistently great every visit. The girls are all so sweet and accommodating and the food and specials are delicious and fresh. We love coming here regularly and are so excited to try their spring specials! Keep up the good work girls! read more

Friendly service and good tasty food. Thoroughly enjoyed my visit. We were on a road trip from Asheville to Richmond and wanted to stop to eat at a local business. This was a great stop. We ate at the sidewalk tables because we were traveling with two dogs. There were some nice creative choices on the menu. my husband had the Main Street, I had the Holler and a chai tea latte. we also got two slices of cheesecake to go. Both sandwiches were delicious! Chai Tea wonderful and cheesecake creamy and smooth. We then took a nice walk around South Boston on their beautiful town streets. Nice visit and stroll for the dogs. read more

Whether you're a local or just driving through South Boston, Southern Plenty should be at the top of your places to visit. I live in town now but I grew up just outside of Boston, Massachusetts where I experienced my fair share of truly good food. That's the one thing I miss about the North, but Southern Plenty fills that great big void in my heart. I try to be a regular and I bring every one of my family members and friends who come to visit me here. Their response is each the same, they ADORE it. Often wishing to visit it more than once during their stay. Their bacon and cheddar quiche is entirely exquisite, surpassing even my own mother's, who up until this point made the best quiche I had ever eaten. I'll order it for breakfast with a side of their hash brown casserole (which is pure comfort food) or I'll order it for lunch with a side of their pickled beets and goat cheese (soooooo refreshing and savory). There's always something fresh to try on their specials and my favorite thus far has been their cream cheese stuffed French toast with lemon curd and blueberries. In my opinion, those toppings should be added to the menu permanently, they're that good! Sure, not everything on the menu is my favorite but that's just my own personal taste and not the restaurants problem. It should be noted too just how delightful the staff are. Each one is personable, helpful, and kind. They become friends, with their hearts visible through their smiles. They work very hard, all while maintaining a joyful spirit and environment. They're what make this spot truly special. It wouldn't be the same without each of them. If you want to come visit while avoiding a wait, try visiting midweek. Saturday's here are BUSY. It is a smaller cafe, though they certainly offer ample seating for their size! Including some lovely outdoor seating if the weather allows. There is a recent negative review on here that I feel is completely unnecessary and would like to acknowledge. It makes me upset to see how quick people are to leave negative reviews for small businesses because unwarranted reviews like that can mean a businesses livelihood. And if you don't have a valid reason to leave a pitiful 1 star review, don't leave one at all. The individual was upset at how long they had to wait on a Saturday, how people weren't giving up their tables, and how the business should expand. Yes, Saturdays here will be a longer wait time. Everyone wants to bring their whole family. So if you're in a rush - don't go during rush time. Please remember this is a VERY small town and Southern Plenty is not only a favorite of the locals, it's part of the heart and soul of this town. It's a happy family friendly environment and welcomes everyone to "come and stay awhile". It fosters heartfelt catchups and memories with little ones and grandparents. Don't rush people out of that experience and don't try to change it. Love it for what it is and appreciate what it has to offer. If you don't like it, go somewhere else, there's a real quick McDonald's right down the road. read more

Southern Plenty - Bacon Bacon, Cheddar & Caramelized Onion Quiche with hash brown casserole Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast with lemon curd Mimosas - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - South Boston, Virginia

We came here for brunch on a Saturday late morning. This place was pack, I mean packed like a can of sardines! Need more seating or expand the business! Once entering you have to go up to the front to order, they give you a number, maybe you can find a seat, bring you, your food once it's ready. Prices are okay. Took about 30 mins to get to our table, which was about right, we had to wait for a table, people just talking and talking after they ate and want get up so new customers can have a table, that was frustrating!! When you get finished eating, get up, you see the place is packed and people are waiting for tables! The food arrived, we both got French toast, it was spongy, like it had been sitting around, bacon was crispy, hardly any fruit on it, I mean maybe two pieces, it really didn't taste like French toast, no seasoning or flavor. We definitely want be back, bad experience! read more

Stopped in for lunch on our way back north from GA. Great food and ambiance! Get the garden folly with a side of chips, so good!

Food is amazing, multiple vegan and vegetarian options. Service was fast, prices reasonable.

We went for lunch while Christmas shopping. One of a few open places. Food was tasty. Service was fast and prices reasonable. I had a bbq sandwich. Not common bbq sauce - dark and delicious. Meat was perfect. Pretzel roll was a nice change. My wife enjoyed her sandwich too. Management changed a couple years ago. I liked the old menu and food A little better but we did like our meal. Haven't had a bad one there yet! As far as the ambiance - nothing special there. Walls have basic beige paint. No art and no goodies for sale. It was clean but too empty for me. Bathroom was nice. Small but again - very clean and functional. read more

Great ambiance with coffee, food, and more! Very cute boutique style coffee/sandwich cafe. With a corner spot on Main Street, it's conveniently located with parking along the street and definitely feels like a hole in the wall. The staff was quick to help and menu items were craft and selective, along with the decor throughout. Highly recommend anyone passing through the area to stop in! read more

Everything I've tried here is delicious! Sandwhices, sides, bread pudding, cookies... everything!!!

Awesome small town restaurant, coffee shop. Great food and big menu for a little shop, I don't think anything on the menu wouldn't be delicious! Great desserts too. Quick, and polite! read more

This is one of my favorite places in Halifax County. It's the kind of place you'd expect to find in a college town, so we're lucky to have it here in South Boston. Excellent food, coffee, and desserts. They have the best macarons ever! Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. read more

Limited menu, limited chip flavors- salt & vinegar and BBQ. I had the green's folly sandwich, turkey, Swiss and Bacon on a toasted croissant. Croissant was warm, however not enough to melt the cold cheese or to warm the turkey (preferred melted cheese and warm turkey). Desserts looked really good, but did not try any. read more

My wife and I had breakfast in this cute little cafe/diner on Christmas Eve Eve. We each ordered lattes which were frothy, served in a huge mug and were delicious. They were very reasonably priced at $3 each. We both ordered eggs, bacon, toast and hash brown casserole for $6.75. The star of the group was the casserole which was cheesy and delicious. The eggs were perfectly prepared, which is often not the case. The bacon was tasty but a wee bit greasy. The toast was, well, toast. We appreciated the attention to the small details like the natural sugar and real butter (neither of which are "small" to us). Service was warm, friendly and attentive from beginning to end. They also serve lunch which includes Boar's Head meats on a bevy of different sandwiches. The dining area was cozy and inviting and was half full of happy locals, along with us and a friendly trucker who made it clear that he always stops here on his way through South Boston. It's definitely worth a try if you're in search of breakfast or lunch in the area read more

Great food, fast service and super nice staff. Just passing through town and found this gem!

We were running behind getting to town so shifted gears to re-arrange errands a d where we ere going to eat. I had already put this location on my list so we decided to have lunch. A local mentioned is was also one of their favorite places. It was definitely busy, small and cozy and not a lot of seating inside. They showcase local artists and sell there items which is really nice and adds to the decor. The food is a little eclecticwhich always intrigues me. The have Mimosa's and spike coffee at good prices. The regular coffee was very good and a plentiful serving. The food was delicious and all the different flavors of what we ordered went perfectly qith each other. It's not far from where I live in NC so I can see myself returning. read more

If you are in this area or driving by you must stop and eat ... this is not a suggestion, but an order - LOL. Everything is made fresh. It is a cute shop too. Order at the counter and then take a seat at one of the many mismatched kitchen tables. We enjoyed the chicken salad sammie (no onions in their salad) & egg salad sammie and then shared halves. I got the squash casserole side and my Mom the hash brown casserole, both worth every calorie! If I lived near by this would be a few times a week stop. Priced fairly, clean and friendly service. Enjoy!! read more

Always delicious! Great service! Lots of variety and choices from a menu that changes its specials often. Desserts and specialty coffees and teas are wonderful too! Lots of crafts and handmade goods from local artists for sale here as well. Also a wonderful wine selection! read more

Great little spot. Food is really good. Great coffee, friendly service. Southern country store charm.

Excellent breakfast and lunch, especially love the lattes and beet/goat cheese side dish. Their latte is the best I have had anywhere!

Been there several times. Fresh and friendly. They have interesting sandwich choices as well as typical. For example I had one with goat cheese and cranberry. read more

The best little cafe in Halifax County. A wide selection of drinks, treats, and entrees! Must visit!

The coffee here is great. The salted caramel latte is my favorite drink to get here. The food can definitely use some improvement. The chicken salad sandwich is delicious, but doesn't have enough chicken salad on it, so not a good bread to filling ratio. I had ordered a sandwich for here and a sandwich to go for lunch today, but ended up eating both for breakfast. Im a small girl whos stomach is very shrunk from just coming off of several months of fasting..That should tell you how lacking they are in filling. The burritos are lacking in a good meat portion and are filled with unseasoned potato or loaded with onion. The corned beef sandwich is decent; probably the best thing on the menu. I try to get something different every time, but the corned beef seems to be the only thing I haven't been disappointed by so far. I could also do without pretty much every dessert I've tried here, which is weird. read more

Great food love the Ruben and there deserts they have and the breakfast is wonderful too

We were passing through and looking for a breakfast spot, and we thought this would be better than our fast food options. We were right. Everything was outstanding. The staff was friendly. If you're in the area, you should definitely check it out. read more

It's ok I think the toast needs more toasting but the store is really cute and the desserts are homemade read more

Food was delicious. Loved all the homemade side items. Great place! Friendly staff. Highly recommend checking them out!

Passing through and the man at the nearby shoe store recommended this place. It was quite busy but we got a table right when we ordered. Choices were somewhat unusual but in a good way. My husband had the Po Boy with shrimp and bacon and macaroni salad (sweet) as side. I had the pulled pork sandwich with sauerkraut and onion jam which was good. The chicken meatball soup was the side. The soup wasn't hot enough but the flavor was good. All the food was good. Ambience was good. Busy cafe but not overwhelming. The staff were all friendly. Had to wait a bit for our food but you knew it was made for you. Ate two truffles which were great. Would recommend to anyone passing through. The coffees and flavors looked good but we didn't get any! read more

Very nice quaintly 'lil cafe! Unfortunately, I was so hungry that I missed out on the beautiful deliciousness before realizing I didn't take a picture....smh. I got a bacon & cheese omelet and added onions, peppers, & spinach with a side of pancakes. Everything was simply AWESOME! read more

Southern Plenty - Beautiful quaint mom & pop cafe & store. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - South Boston, Virginia

Today I had a tomato pie and it was amazing!!!! I would have never thought I would like it, but I did. Mary the owner is a fabulous cook and everything is made from scratch. Many times I have a hard time figuring out what to get because the side salads and specials are always changing. Today I had the macaroni salad and a Thai pasta salad. If you are in this area you must have breakfast or lunch here. A big bonus for those of you who don't like breakfast, you can order from the lunch menu at anytime!!! While you are there make sure you take time to look around and shop. She has plenty of unique gifts for most anyone on your shopping list. There are an assortment of different wines and wine accessories. This is a must stop for anyone passing through the area or who lives here. read more

Southern Plenty - Roast beef sandwich - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - South Boston, Virginia

I initially had to go there for court reasons and got a little hungry afterwards. While I tried yelping for places, this place seemed to be the most reasonable spot to go to! The food was all hand prepared and tasted very good. It was neither too salty nor tastless. It was on point! The only thing I was disappointed about were the lemon bars... the other yelp reviews over hyped them so much. Maybe it's cause of my lack of interest in desert food but nonetheless, I would still recommend this cute little spot for everyone to try!! P.S service was very friendly :) read more

Down Town Po Boy A nice list of good sandwiches with an interesting list of names....my choice...the Down Town Po Boy- Boiled shrimp, applewood bacon, and a secret chipolte sauce on a butter croissant was what I ordered and it was great. Wonderful friendly staff. A wonderful lunch and I was glad I stopped by, if you are in South Boston, you should stop too. I was not a big fan of the decor, but it won't stop me from going back. read more

Great little place to grab lunch or pick up some locally made goodies. I ordered their version of a PoBoy which came with boiled shrimp on a buttery croissant. Their house made remoulade with fresh tomato and lettuce complete the sandwich and it did not disappoint. The pricing is fair for the portions provided and they have a variety of sides to choose from. The atmosphere is casual and decor eclectic with southern charm and flair. Everyone I spoke to was friendly and I was certainly tempted to try out the variety of fresh desserts they had on display. I would definitely recommend stopping in to grab a bite to eat! read more
