We enjoyed dining at Southerleigh. They were very accommodating. Mary was our server and she did a great job. We had the fried chicken and the red fish with rice pilaf. We also shared mashed potatoes. We also shared a cup of gumbo. The portions are large. We couldn’t eat all of it , but it was nice to sample all of it. It was all very good.

We had such a great experience the first night of our stay that we cancelled the dinner reservations we scheduled earlier. We travel and eat out often and we love the ambience, the music, the cocktails and the food is over the top. The eggs Benedict for breakfast was excellent. Most of the menu items are handcrafted! We had 4 different servers at 4 different meals and they were all great! They were friendly and very knowledgeable not to mention highly professional. FABULOUS !

Beautiful view of the river and nice live country music at the Saturday night live fire dinner show. Food just kept coming out😊 and everything was delivered hot and fresh including the corn, macaroni and potatoes and even chocolate cake and ice cream for dessert. I had the steak 🥩 and it was cooked perfectly as i ordered it. My girl had the red snapper with mango salsa and she loved it
