South County Cafe

South County Cafe, what a mixed experience.Knowing this place as a small, impactful place, I kinda had high expectations coming in to dine.I previously tried the teriyaki chicken cheesesteak, and was pleased for pick up - but today's visit, I ordered a Nashville Hot chicken sandwich that came with fries (pictured), and it was meh.. okay. The fries were really good; reminded me of Checkers fries for comparison purposes. But the chicken sandwich, probably nothing that I would order again (Personally- I should've stuck with what I already knew was good).But overall.. I love the casual, home made feel of South County Cafe. You feel small but welcomed, in the best way possible when ordering. The staff is friendly and patient as well.

Stopped in for a quick bite, found what is clearly a local treasure. Food here is delicious, from what I saw in the counters and ordered for lunch.

Adorable cafe with a friendly staff in a converted house. The only thing I couldn't love was that all of the foods cooked on the griddle (home fries, French toast , and scrapple) were all overcooked. Bit of an annoyance for the home fries but a total flavor killer for the scrapple.

Came here for breakfast while staying in Deale. Me, my husband, father, and father in law all agreed we really enjoyed breakfast here. They have a nice variety of pastries and breakfast favorites. Everything was tasty and service was fast and friendly. I liked the process of ordering food at the front counter and then seating yourself. The food came out quickly and was brought to our table. Definitely our favorite breakfast while in the area!

We had lunch there today. We had a collection of sandwiches with various sides and some cookies. All were very good. They even had gluten free buns for sandwiches as well. Such friendly service and really good food. We will be back. Thanks!!!!

A review long overdue!South County Cafe is also the home to Whitman's Catering, and this restaurant is known for their homemade seafood dishes and baked goods. They have a breakfast, lunch, and a daily specials menu, offering items such as breakfast sandwiches, omelets, wraps, sandwiches, and seafood plates.We came here for an early lunch, and we ordered:+the Hot Crab Dip - prepared with lump crab meat and served with sliced baked French bread; was a little surprised at how small the portion was, so it's definitely not much of a shareable app, but for 1 person; the baguette slices could have been toasted more or have been more fresh, as it was slightly stale; the dip itself could have come out more piping out, as I felt that our order has been sitting for a while to be delivered to our table+a Maryland Crab Cake Sandwich - 5 oz jumbo lump crab cake on a potato roll, served with tarter sauce; there were some shells throughout the crab cake, which is a total no-no in my book; it was also a bit overcooked, which took away from tasting the freshness of the crab+the Rockfish Sandwich - breaded and fried rockfish on a Kaiser roll, served with lettuce and tomatoes and a side of tartar sauce; the breading could have been a little less, as it seemed we were eating more of the breading exterior than the fish; this was also overly fried, so the fish was less delicate/flaky+a Memphis Philly - thinly sliced pork butt with grilled onions, green peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, pepper jack cheese, and BBQ sauce, served on a baguette; came with a bag of chips; we weren't fans of this sandwich, as the pork slices had an off-putting odor to them; the bbq sauce was also sickly sweet, so perhaps requesting the sauce on the side would have been better+a Bacon Jalapeno Burger - 1/2 lb of charbroiled beef, served with bacon jalapeno marmalade, cheddar cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, and garlic mayo; served with fries; we weren't fans of the marmalade, as it didn't complement the burger; our patty was also overcooked, making it kind of dried; I think the 'charring' was missedI'm not sure if we didn't order correctly, but we were a bit disappointed with our meals - maybe it was an off day, but we weren't fans. We opted not to get any to-go options for our leftovers, so they were all tossed.Service was somewhat friendly; you can tell that this place is a favorite amongst locals, as where you place your order was just jampacked with people. There were seating inside as well as a few tables outside for al fresco dining.I'm glad I was able to check this place out, but wouldn't return.Parking can be found on the street.+food was served lukewarm+somewhat friendly staff+indoor and outdoor seating available +street parking available

Umm...would 2 days in a row mean I need to find a 12-step for my addiction to this place??? Then sign me up!

Very good breakfasts and lunches! Best part you can order online and pick up within 15 min most of the time. There are packaged offerings such as potato salad and other sides, great selections of sliced pie, and other sweet treats as well. Soft drinks, iced tea, hot and iced coffee too. There is a dinner menu as well. All can be viewed online. Indoor seating is limited, but there are picnic tables out front, with umbrellas for shade. Overall, good food and a quick way to get a quick meal with great pie to finish it off.

Great food, great people working there. We ate there and also took baked goods to go.

This is a cute little breakfast/lunch spot! You can eat inside or outside! Staff were really nice, especially since it was our first time there and not knowing what to order!This was our first time there! We got the omelette with home fries and blueberry pancakes. The omelette and home fries were seasoned well! The home fries had a surprisingly and deliciously slight crisp to it! Normally that isn't expected, but the crisp was a nice surprise! The blueberry pancakes were great! The pancakes were nice and fluffy and the blueberries were fresh and a nice handful in each one! The grits were great and not dry! I hope to go again and try their lunch menu out.
