Southernaire Restaurant

Hubs, friends, and I went riding yesterday and ended up here for a mid afternoon lunch. Everyone besides myself had eaten at Southernaire before, and highly recommended it.When we walked in it appeared as if it was closed, but the sign on the door said open and a sign inside said to seat yourself. We were the only customers. I'm told they usually have a great salad bar and buffet, but with the pandemic, it's menu only. Perfect for me, I'm not a fan of buffets anyway.Service was good, but she didn't give her name. My friends and I all had catfish dinners, which were really tasty. My husband had the BEST Reuben he's EVER had. Now let me say this, my husband is 137 years old and has eaten a whole lot of Reubens in his life!! I do believe we'll be stopping in again!

Always a good meal at a fair price. Good food, good service even though the dining area is dated and needs a remodel we always enjoy eating here. The new owners are friendly and accessible every time we dine here.

No complaints about the food it is amazing, the cook is great. Service and environment was awful. After over an hour waiting without even a word from our waitress we asked the busboy to check on our order. We ended up getting our food to go, everyone apologized but it was my fiancé birthday for pete sakes... Again the food is great it's what makes this restaurant!

I grew up down the street from Southernaire and have been eating there since I was a child. There is a Sunday buffet full of fried chicken, catfish, beans & greens, a full salad bar, desserts, and all kinds of Southern comfort food. My 2 favorite menu items are the stacked club sandwich (enough said) and the hot roast beef sandwich that's served over white bread and mashed taters with lots of brown gravy. **NOM** My absolute favorite is breakfast. I haven't-and don't expect to-find a better breakfast than at Southernaire. I highly recommend the thick sliced bacon and-well, everything else. I'm pretty sure the atmosphere hasn't changed much since I was a kid, it's by no means hip or even cozy, but it does sit on top of a hill and one of the dining rooms and the foyer has lots of windows for a nice view of the nearby road and fields. It kind of reminds me of an old school cafeteria, but I think it's meant to be more of a lodge... But it's clean and the servers are very friendly.My favorite restaurant in Tennessee.

Have eaten here many times and always great but hadn't been there in quite awhile and was really pleasantly surprised Friday night, this used to be their seafood night and it was great but as with all seafood pretty expensive but Friday they now have a southern family style meal on Buffet that is really down right good. Fried chicken, small cubes of catfish, homemade mashed potatoes, butter beans, green beans, I could go on but it is all like down home cooking from many years ago. If you have never been there go, if you have go back, great food. And anyone who has ever ate steak there knows it is best in any county around here. They have shortened there hours and no longer open on Monday and Tuesday and I believe open at 2 PM on Wednesday and Thursday and 6:30 AM on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Been going here all my life. Food is always top notch and the wait staff is friendly. Great true southern place to eat and visit

My goodness are looks deceiving.My friend suggested this restaurant and we went. I was like what in the back country sticks cafe is this. We went in and honestly, this little out of the way restaurant is not going to win any beauty pageants which is why I gave it only 4 stars. BUT THEN THE FOOD... MY GOODNESS IT WAS DELICIOUS. The prime rib was cooked to perfection, I had the chicken and shrimp special that was AMAZING and they had a delicious fresh salad bar. Even though it took me 50 minutes to get there, I will DEFINITELY return.

It was all good. My husband and I flew in and ate lunch here. We will definitely be back to this place. It is a down home good food.

Love coming here for breakfast after a day hunting. Food and service are great. Best dang bacon I've ever had in a restaurant. Friday and Saturday buffets are worth the drive, definitely worth the drive.

Best rib eye, awesome burgers and prime rib. Prime are only on weekends so I miss out a lot but the staff is great and the good is awesome. I drive a long ways to eat here but always worth the drive.
