Southern Manners

Four years ago, we had stopped in Southern Manners but were not overly impressed. It wasn't bad, it just didn't stand out for us...not the warmest welcome, menu was mehhhh, they didn't have any soups on the menu despite having sandwiches which was disappointing, and whatever we had wasn't enough to make us come back again at least anytime soon. Today, we went in for the second time while running errands in Columbus and were very pleasantly surprised🙂 We were greeted as soon as we entered, it had a very warm atmosphere & felt it was a popular local place, and the menu had definitely expanded and included a diverse selection of breakfast offerings (biscuits, baked oatmeal, stuffed French toast), sandwiches, wraps, burgers, melts, soups, and sides. I ordered the Rueben with a side of broccoli salad and my husband had the Italian deli sandwich on tomato basil bread with a cup of creamy broccoli noodle soup. We grabbed our drinks (my hubby had a coke zero and I had sweet tea which had the perfect balance of sweetness to tea flavor) and snagged a seat by the window (there was also upstairs seating we found out which I definitely don't remember from years ago). Our food came out promptly & was nice & hot. My rueben was perfect with the right level of crispness gooeyness and filled with plenty of corned beef topped with sauerkraut, dressing, and cheese and the broccoli salad was fresh with a nice sweet dressing & dressed with cheese & sunflower seeds. My hubby's sandwich on that bread was amazing and so fresh tasting!!! And their soup was yummy...so yummy I was reaching over & dipping my sandwich in it☺️ I can say without reservations that we most definitely will be back & likely become our go-to local lunch spot! I can't wait to try their breakfast offerings. I am typically off on Mondays and it's perfect finding a restaurant opened around Tyron/Columbus/Landrum as most are closed. Southern Manners is very under-rated. Ya'll are fabulous!

My 12 year old son and I ate breakfast here on our Saturday morning breakfast date last weekend and loved it! Thankfully, we beat the rush, because apparently everyone loves it, and for good reason. The service was friendly and the food was delicious. We both had the cheese steak omelettes with wheat toast, and it was great!

My husband and I were staying at the TIEC and decided to go out for breakfast. We found this restaurant and decided to give it a try for breakfast. There was a lot to choose from. French toast, bacon, eggs, coffee, everything was delicious. Bacon was really thick. Dining is upstairs and downstairs. I would definitely dine here again. We were very happy with the food, quality and how quick we were served especially considering how crowded they were.

This lovely restaurant is underrated in my opinion. It may look like a regular deli from the outside but is truly a great deli AND restaurant. We had a wonderful breakfast, the food was fresh and absolutely delicious! We had oatmeal with fruits and nuts, it was the best I ever had, eggs were made just right and the tomato-basil toast was so tasty! You should definitely eat here :)

Decided to #eatlocal and came across this place. Y'all... breakfast is amazing and the portions are perfect! Definitely looking forward to trying out more of their menu.

This is a lovely small town restaurant and deli. Walk in, look at the menu and place your order at the register station. They give you a number to place on your table and the food will be delivered. It's self serve on the drinks from a machine and iced tea pitcher. Staff is super friendly, food is well prepared and service is fast. Deli counter for purchasing meat, cheese, salads, etc and separate area with bakery items.
