South On Main

High points were the service and drinks. Was very busy, but was seated within 5 minutes. However, I did find everything I tried was very bland. The gravy was not seasoned well, it tasted of just flour as did the biscuits. The brisket hash was equally bland, mushy, was more like roast and taters. I expected a crispy hash not a Sunday pot roast! I needed some crispyness to break up all the mush but it wasn’t there. Also I thought for 15$ the portion was fairly small. The shrimp and grits. The shrimp was cooked well and generously portioned. But the grits themselves weren’t great and lacked flavor. I’d come back from drinks but I’d be leery of trying the brunch again.

I had planned to try this place while in Little Rock soley from reviews. It was enjoyable and the atmosphere was fun. The cocktail I chose was the watermelon cucumber margarita. As pretty as it was it really wasn't my cup of tea, as I will stick with regular margaritas from here out. With that said and in all fairness my server was wonderful and offered above and beyond to make me something else but I stayed with it because it was simply my taste buds and nothing wrong with the drink itself. The food was really good and my reason for 4 stars instead of 5 would be that the sides (squash casserole and fried green tomatoes) could have been hotter. The fried chicken came out smokin' hot and was delicious as the where the sides were just like warm. I didn't complain as not to add additional strain to stressed out business' and employees who are under enough pressure with the rise of the Delta/covid increase and are just trying to keep the doors open and make a living. I see you and will def

Has a great menu that leaves you stumped at all the choices. I had the quail wrapped in bacon with waffles. With no regrets the food was delicious, although beware of the loud background from the musicians. Being with family it was difficult to communicate, that's expected when listening to a live performance. Southern hospitality is a great way to explain the wonderful service. All in all the place is a joy, highly recommended for a good experience.
