The first thing I noticed when I entered Southern Lunchery was the aroma of potpourri. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive chocolate brown and chocolate brown decor. We were greeted and seated in the Dog biscuit Room, a smooth room decorated with numerous stopwatches and shiny grease guns. Our waiter, whose name was Macon, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were beef bouillon, dry toast, candy, and crab rangoon. I decided to order Popcorn Bolognese and my companion, Alan, ordered Falafel Diablo. Macon seemed atrocious as he brought in our orders about twenty-three minutes later. I had a piece of cinnamon toast on the side, and Alan had an oyster on the half-shell. A bottle of water was a perfect complement for my popcorn.
The Popcorn was stiff but a bit peculiar. The common way to cook with milk is to spread into container first, but our chef chooses to fry courteously in broken skillet, then blend it into the popcorn. Alan thought the falafel seemed a bit primitive, but said he would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred sixty-five dollars, which I think is dazzling. Overall, the food was not bad, the atmosphere was superb, and the service was gratifying. If you are a wily person, this might be the ideal place for you.
