Guest Testimonials
The food was very good and our server was fantastic.
Everyone has to try the she-crab soup. It's nice a creamy with plenty of chunks of REAL crab meat. There's a slight edge from the sherry, but it's not overpowering, but rather right where it should be. Cup of she-crab + salad = plenty of flavor, food quantity and value for lunch.
If, however, you feel like a truly Southern cuisine indulgence (that will cost a little bit more than the average lunch fare), try the Crab Hash. I know what some of you are thinking. I too used to feel unsettled at the mere mention of poached eggs, but this dish showed me how wrong I could be. Mixed with a perfect, sweet hollandaise a massive helping of lump crab meat, and the restaurants signature fingerling potatoes, I dare you to try to remember you're even eating eggs. It's not about the individual ingredients, but rather the overall effect of the proper mix on your taste buds.
Other recommendations in brief:
Caesar salad + chicken - comes with signature hush puppies!!
Pimiento burger - Go ahead and skip the ketchup. You don't need it.
Catfish Reuben - Southern, fried, fresh catfish. Great value.
As I am a repeat but infrequent customer, that is all that I have experienced personally, but, as South City Midtown has yet to disappoint me, I am very optimistic about the rest of the menu.
The atmosphere is a little bit quieter than some of the nearby competing restaurants, which is nice, but don't expect solemn silence. It's Crescent street in Midtown. It's always going to be a little bit boisterous unless you're there at a really odd hour.
In terms of nearby competition, I believe South City to be your best choice for the money if you're looking for something more creative, i.e. beyond standard sandwich/burgers/salad midday fare. If you want something of similar or (in some people's opinion) better quality, you'll have to look to some of the fancier, more expensive places like Oceanaire, Veni Vidi, Trois, etc.
Relaxed atmosphere, excellent food and friendly/attentive service.
The staff, especially Katie and Paul :-) , the great food and ambiance.
The incredibly hospitable staff -- from the time you are greeted at the door, to the bartenders, to the wait staff (oh, and don't forget the managers!), you are made to feel welcome! The food is Southern cuisine at its finest!

The service was wonderful - and the food was delicious. We were entertaining a colleague from China and wanted him to have something nice and southern and experience some southern hospitality. Both were achieved.
Outstanding management, service and food. What more could done ask for?
The service is great.
Good food and good service, generally. However, the last time we were there my friend and I split a crab cake hash dish special/feature at lunch for $18. We got half a (yes, I said one whole)crab cake with an egg on top, some hollandase sauce and a few fries. This was very unimpressive and a surprise at $18. Certainly not a good value.
