If you read a few of my posts (99% restaurants), you will see that there are not many places that I give 5 stars to.

Dear The Southerner,
Such a well deserved 5-Star rating for me to post here. Between the food and staff, I would drive the two-hours from Chicago just to come there for breakfast! And yes, I plan on returning just for breakfast!!

For those of you that like fried chicken for breakfast, do it! Now, just so you know, I am not much of a chicken eater and neither is my gf. Something told her she had to try it (no recommendations). What a gift from the food gods (The Southerner cooks of course)!! All we could say was wow!!

We were there for breakfast and the only word that came to mind was "fresh"! The eggs, the bacon, sausage, chicken, and the grits... oh the grits!!

I need not say anymore. Oh wait, get there early if you can... it gets busy and for good reason. Thank You The Southerner!!
