Crusoe's South: Reviews & Ratings
Food and service for a large party was great! Everyone loved their food. I ordered the Reuben and it's definitely on my list to revisit. They grill/toast their bread, which makes a huge difference with Reubens.
The Alfredo is one of the best around. Generous portions. Service is always exceptional anytime we visit.
This was for my dad's 70th birthday and everything was just the food was delicious the service was excellent and everybody had a great time
Large menu to choose from. Good food and service!
Review Update: My wife and I have returned twice since posting the review below. I wanted to just add that the fried chicken dinners are very consistent. The sides all came out fresh and HOT. Our server, Bri, is just tops. She's very professional, attentive, and just completes and rounds out our dining experience. She checked on us often but was not intrusive, and she kept our beverages topped off. All though I did not notice any staff members who seemed unmotivated, but request Bri to be your server, you will not be disappointed with any aspects of your Crusoe's dining experience. The chicken was delicious, the corn was great, but the mashed potatoes and the gravy, did I mention the gravy? The gravy was the best white country gravy, next to my wife's, that I have ever had. In fact, they offered up a side of gravy when ordering the chicken. I didn't quite get it, but I said yes! When I dipped my chicken into the gravy, I GOT IT, and you might want to also. Great meal!
This place is a lot of fun for lunch on Sunday! Jenny the bartender is so sweet and cares about the food and service. She even shared ideas with me on ordering. The food was better than expected, pork chops they grilled for me and wings spiced just right. We’ll come back!!
Great food with generous servings. The staff went out of their way with their hospitality.
The group meeting (22 members) was handled well. They actually had two groups meeting in different rooms. Food came quickly and the server check in frequently, but quietly.
