South Side Cafe - Charleston (IL)

5 /5 Matt Ellinger: There is not ONE thing to complain about in any regard to South Side! I have been going to eat here since I was a teenager in 2016, and due to its warm, cozy atmosphere its made me some core-memories in the winter-time year after year! I hope the workers there get to see this review and know its the long-haired kid theyve watched grow up for years; youre my absolute favorite shop to support in town, next to Pensees! :)

5 /5 Lyla Weese: The food was home cooked and it came out very fast. We watched our 3 orders be cooked and brought to the table in great time. And just like mom or grandma would make.

5 /5 John Hedge: Always seeking out small town diners like this. Did not disappoint. Food was great, plenty of it. Wonderful homemade pie!

5 /5 Tegan: Cute diner with good pie and very friendly service.

5 /5 Micah Fishman: I was passing through Charleston and considered grabbing something quick. I’m glad I didn’t. I ended up wandering into South Side Cafe and had a great experience. The family-owned spot has a quintessential old diner feel with a classic breakfast and lunch menu prepared right behind the counter. The service was lovely, the food tasted great, and the prices are unbeatable. I’d be visiting frequently if I lived in town.
