Southland Restaurant
"I have stopped in to eat at your establishment about 4 times over the past year. I was there last Saturday the 19th. It was the best it has ever been. The food was awesome and the service was fast and professional. I will be eating there much more after last Saturdays experience. I could tell it was more busy than usual but everybody was cool, they didnt panic, and I was impressed. I figured I would email to let you guys know to keep up the good work. Give your staff a pat on the back because they sure deserve it. Thanks for a great dinning experience. I will be back !" -- Fri, 23 July 2010

"i am glad that you still have ... and merchandise. there was a young man that was very helpful when asked about key chains stickers and thing for the ... . They are hard to find and am very proud to support a place that has value and honor. the BBQ is the best and always enjoy eating there even though i do not get there as often as i want to. i will be making a effort to come in once a week now to make sure nothing happens to this long honored place. i also like that you have a buffet on Mom's Day!!! Thank you for keeping and creating a place i feel i belong and can come too! as i get older i see the importance of it more and more! and i wish i had the name of the young man that help me Saturday May 8th around 3 or 4:30 pm. he gave me a real honor by calling me Bubba, which does not happen anymore. like ladies saying honey or having real sweet tea!GOD Bless Southland and my she forever be!
Thank you, woody" -- Sun, 09 May 2010

"We live across the border in VA and my parents live in NC so we meet for dinners at Southland Restaurant. The chicken is outstanding! I haven't had a meal there that I didn't enjoy. Friendly, fast service and clean, quaint surroundings at a super price make this a frequent choice of ours. We stop in for breakfast on the way to the Outer Banks, too! Keep up the great service and super cooking and we'll keep on going back for years to come!

"Just wanted to say, we stop in at the snack bar several times a month on our way home from Manteo but tonight, we decided to actually go into the restaurant and sit down to eat. It truly was one of the best meals I've had in a LONG time! The bbq was AMAZING, the chicken and dumplings were perfect and hands down, the BEST hush puppies I've EVER eaten in my life. Our waitress was curteous and even spoke to the chef. We will DEFINITELY be back and hopefully very very soon!" -- Mon, 10 August 2009

"My husband and I live in Virginia Beach. We visit Southland at least once a week for various reasons (cigarettes, dining at the restaurant, quick meals at the snack bar or gift purchases in the store). We love visiting Southland! The employees are friendly, courteous and helpful. The food at the restaurant is very good, the service is great and the coffee is delicious! It doesn't matter what time of day we've visited, the coffee is always terrific. We plan to keep coming back as often as we can." -- Sat, 25 July 2009

"My husband and I stopped in on our way to Outer Banks. We were immediately greeted by hostess and seated. Our waitress (very nice girl, Jennifer) was as sweet as can be and made sure we were taken care of through entire meal. She did well with many other tables to wait on as well. I love the barbecue and rolls. I will recommend Southland Restaurant to friends and family. Thanks for the wonderful experience." -- Tue, 31 Mar 2009

Just wanted to make you aware you have a great crew of employees in your snack bar. From the cashiers to the cooks.

Service was great. Please pass a big thank you to all who were working today." -- Mon, 29 Sept 2008

"Thank you for a wonderful visit! Loved all your neat gifts, you have a great selection--Just loved the t-shirts. We visited for the first time this past Saturday (9/27) and had a wonderful lunch (actually wonderful everything). The young lady that waited on us in the snack bar (Erin) was very sweet and polite. It is nice to be waited on by a smiling, happy person--but most importantly her kind demenor. We will keep stopping by on our way through with great pleasure just to see your great employees (and of course eat too).
Keep up the good work and tell her "thank you"!
Best wishes ...

"I have visited your establishment for icecream and odds n ends on several occassions. On this occassion I feel that you should know that the young lady working that day, (...), made a very good impression on your customers. She was very kind, bubbly polite, smiling, friendly and helpful. She was very pleasant to everyone in line in front of me and behind me. It is very nice to see a person take pride in what they do for others as she did--that is professionalism. Thank you." -- Tue, 26 Aug 2008

"I come here because you always have my brand of cigarettes in stock. My Mom, Grandma and myself take the short (20-30 minutes) and scenic drive form VA Beach and always enjoy the ice cream. I have eaten in your restaurant once and had the pork chop dinner, a real bargain, I think it was a Weds. night special. I plan to come back with my family for more homestyle cooking.
Also, my Grandma uses a wheelchair, and found it easy to get around the store for the most part. Also, excellent handicapped rest room , and very clean. keep up the good work." -- Sun, 20 Jan 2008
