Nice restaurant with some items that were a new twist for us. The deviled eggs prepared 3 ways were an interesting take on this dish and the flavors were vibrant and worked well together. The steaks were very good, on par with a steakhouse. Conveniently located within the Drury Inn Plaza hotel it was an enjoyable dining experience.

I waited to be seated for about 7 minutes. We are all experiencing shortages so that wasn't a big deal. I sat at the bar and was immediately greeted. I ordered a mimosa and water. The drink was over 'orange juiced' but price point was great. I ordered the Dirty Cajun fries and they were ok. Generous pieces of bacon and filling. The fries were a bit undercooked which made them soggy but overall good.

Nichole was our server she was amazing! 10/10 would recommend. She was very knowledgeable about what the menu consisted of and all of the food was amazing. The drinks were divine along with dessert!! I would say this was the best dining experience I have had in cape girardeau by far. Everything was very delicious and the service was over the top!

I’m very fond of The Southerner. The brussel sprouts are made with bacon and onion, the savory flavor smells and tastes amazing. The meatloaf is really good too. I did not take a photo of the meatloaf of brussel sprouts, but I did get a photo of the Crispy Fried Pickle slabs. They were delicious. The catering here is great too. Definitely check this place out.

Cape Girardeau’s best kept secret! This place is a great place to eat with amazing food selections. My wife and I had lunch recently and loved everything we got

Wanted to find something with local food while I was in Missouri, and we pick this place strictly from its name thinking we were going to get some down home southern food. We were pleasantly surprised to walk in and find a pretty upscale restaurant instead of a small town diner that we thought we were going to get. The waitress was absolutely fantastic and had great recommendations, one of which I took her up on, and it was one of the best meals I've had in a long time.( Get the pork chop.) The gouda mac and cheese alone is worth stopping here, but I urge you to try anything else on the menu... I think you'll be hard pressed to find something you don't like. I'm already looking forward to my next trip to Missouri just so we can come back here!

There's plenty of parking. We tried to go on my husband's birthday, but we had 7 people in our party. This was a Saturday too so very busy. Unfortunately, the wait exceeded 45 minutes so we did go somewhere else that evening. I debated earlier in the week calling to make a reservation, but never did. Next time we have 4 or more people I'll call ahead! My husband and I went the following Friday evening. No wait. Polite and warm greeting from the hostess. We were seated at a high top table. Our waitress, Sofia, was absolutely wonderful. She's very personable, attentive and recommendations were great! She brought a palate cleanser plate- pickled onions, squash and butter bread pickles. The food? Phenomenal. Pricey, but worth it. I ordered fried green tomatoes and crab cakes. My husband had the Not Your Mama's Meatloaf. We ordered starters of brussel sprouts, Mawmaw's hush puppies and gouda Mac & Cheese. Good portion sizes and had plenty of leftovers to take home. I had 2 drinks- Tickle Me Pink Martini and The Bee Sting. I'd go back legit just for this drinks! My husband had the Basil Hayden Old Fashioned Southerner, which again super good. The restaurant is very small so a bit cramped. That's our only downfall we noted. Overall, great experience. We'll definitely be dining here again.

Lovely restaurant. Service by Bridget was excellent during a busy Friday lunch hour. Food was excellent and margarita was tasty

Trendy spot housed in the Drury Inn. Priced similar to a chain steakhouse but wow it's delicious. Interesting flavors, most of which we really enjoyed! I especially recommend the deviled egg appetizer. Amazing. We went early and got seated right away but it filled up quickly so I do recommend reservations.

We were traveling through and the menu looked good so we stopped. We were seated right away and our server was attentive through dinner. Those pickles! They brought a plate of pickles-onion, squash, zucchini, cucumbers and peppers that were really good. . I had the meatloaf with green beans and was able to sub Brussels sprouts for the potatoes. The green beans were the haricots verts and had a lot of bacon and just a slight spicy kick. The Brussels sprouts were braised and savory. The meat loaf was pretty good. It comes with a ketchup sauce already on it not mentioned on the menu. I would probably ask for that on the side next time. It came with a bread plate that had a piece of cornbread which reminded me of hot water cornbread that I have had. It isn’t sweet and so good. The other bread on the plate had cheese in it and a crumbly texture. It reminded me of a light cornbread but the server told me it was based on a type of a biscuit. My partner had the hamburger and fries which he enjoyed. We will definitely come back and try some other things on the menu as we travel through this area quite a bit.

This has become my go to spot for dinner when I visit Cape Girardeau. The food is so good! They use the perfect amount of spices to make the flavor remind you of a meal your grandmother would cook. The waiter was on point. He was very polite and quick.

Great restaurant attached to the Drury Inn. Had the chicken taco’s, they were very good.

Absolutely loved this place. Great service and even better food

On New Years Eve, several friends and I decided to go out to eat to celebrate the new year. We were all extremely pleased with the meals and the service at The Southerner. We all ordered a variety of items from the menu and all the food was awesome! Our waitress was very friendly, informative and never had to ask for a refills. I would definitely recommend this place and will definitely be going there again. It was well worth the hour drive!

My husband and I had an excellent dining experience at The Southerner. The atmosphere was great and our server was great.

Had a date night here. Food and atmosphere were decent. I had the pulled pork mac and my fiancé had the nugget catfish. She didn't like it as much as Sandy's, she said there wasn't much flavoring in it. My pull pork was mostly tender. We'll come back again and try a few more dishes.

Absolutely perfect! The food was unforgettable; cooked to perfection and served beautifully. The atmosphere is gorgeous and the staff is courteous and friendly.

Surprisingly good food for an, out of the way place. The pork chop was excellent. The pickles as a palette cleanser made it feel very high class. Luckily, the bill wasn't!

For me, this place has been hit or miss with service. Sitting at a table by myself I usually have pretty good service. The few times I have sat at the bar not so good. The deviled eggs are a must. The fried pickles have a light batter so there is tons of flavor and not a lot of grease, their salad is pretty good but their dressings are homemade so they can be hit or miss on flavor vs heavy oil. I really enjoyed the chicken tacos. I do like the selection of homemade soups that change frequently.

Great food in a relaxed atmosphere. Our waitress was friendly and checked on us frequently.

Stopped for a quick bite that wasn't a chain. Service was fast. Portions were the perfect lunch amount. My husband had The Witty Comeback drink that was marvelous with his burger. We got the Gooey Almond Joy dessert to go....yummy!! We'd definitely come back.

Had a decent meal at the Southerner and when I got hair in my food they were happy to remake it for me. The only complaint that I had was that our waitress was not very welcoming and acted like she had better things to do. Also when they were remaking my food they constantly kept coming by every 5 minutes or so reassuring me while I was trying to enjoy the rest of my meal.
