I went to this establishment I must say the food is every bit of four stars. The chicken was overcooked in my opinion but well seasoned but if you love soul food to go I would say give this establishment a try because for the money you can't go wrong but the dine in part of this establishment needs to be worked on somebody with a vision to overhaul the sit down area. To say it sweet this area is not inviting , How ever I went back to this establishment two days in a row and the chicken was on point, but today 03/26/2024 I believe this establishment opens up around 11:00 am. I arrived around or about 11:45 am NOTE: I said all that to say this. The chicken was hard and cold, which caused me to believe this chicken was from last night or at closing. THEREFORE I say to whoever is concerned "DON'T" be the first person who order chicken wings, or better yet don't order chicken wings if they're not set out in front where you can see them, because I thought something was peculiar because everything is set up like a buffet and you can see the food through the glass and the people who are serving you, but the chicken wings were in the back where you can't see them, so if the chicken wings are not in sight I wouldn't advise you to order the chicken wings, but everything else is in sight and that's just my opinion. Again if you love soul food. I say go for it. ? and I'm just saying?

Mr. Moy
I have heard from many seniors in STL that this diner was worth it but I was sadly disappointed with the below average food with high prices. I knew to call in my order before going and you should too!!! b/c there was a line of a dozen people before I got in the door so I got out quickly!

Southside Best Diner!!My grandpa eats from here every Sunday. I arrived 10 minutes before they closed! The food I wanted was still available. Staff is chill and professional. Everything is done in an orderly fashion. Pay them folks standing over that hot fresh food all day! They deserve it!

Waited in a long line listening to people hype this food up. It's a hard no for me and my 14 y/o didn't like it either. Food had no flavor whatsoever. I was really surprised. I had turkey wing, Mac, dressing. Son had chicken wings, Mac, corn. So disappointing. I really wanted some soul food.

Too many ppl walking around doing a lot of nothing. Food hella bland but had huge amounts of black pepper. Where the salt?? Mac and cheese over cook you can literally mashing it into mash n cheese. Ridiculous this is my SECOND time here to wait 40 minutes for DOG FOOD. This is truly disgusting food. Beef ribs need to be discontinued. Along with the instant box dressing that they add water to.I don’t see how this is in any magazines for human consumption. This deserves to be pet food. By the way my dog really enjoyed it but $20 for one pet meal is outrageous. DO BETTER!!
First time trying DD. Purchased entrees that included beef ribs, honey glazed wing and several sides. Wings were really tasty. Unfortunately, the ribs were nothing but fat and we discarded them. The sweet potatoes and greens weren't bad. The restaurant is quaint and very small. Be mindful that they do run out of certain items within the first hour. Parking lot is challenging due to so few spaces. We'd definitely come back for the chicken wings, sweet potatoes and greens.Wheelchair accessibility: Would be challenging for someone in wheelchair to access

Great experience so far it was my first time there and the food was Good, I’m going back for a real opinion about this brand so far it = a 7.5 on the meatloaf/yams=8.2 beans =7
Omg,I hate wasting my money! I'm such a foodie! Wanted to try this place today I got a Salisbury steak meal,mash potatoes and green beans. The patty was a hamburger patty with gravy that tasted like throw up,the mash potatoes was box mash and they could have at least fixed them up with butter,salt or something, the green beans was even bland and nasty,so I ended up only eating the hot water corn bread! As much money as I paid it was the worst restaurant pick of the year!! I would never go back there I'm so disappointed and still hungry! Smdh..please take the time to home make the food and not use to to many short cuts if you do fix the food up at least,make it taste like something! Would not recommend!!
