About

Compact, simple eatery & bar with many gourmet sandwiches, burgers & a small patio.

— Google Editorial Summary

Casual venue for craft sandwiches, beer and wine plus sides, taking the local spot and making it a gathering place.

— Google AI Overview

The Southern General is a casual neighborhood spot serving solid burgers, fries, pork sandwiches, and the chicken schnitzel sandwich or shrimp hoagie people keep recommending. Service can be friendly and down-to-earth (Mallory gets a lot of praise), prices are fair, and the menu leans a bit more sophisticated than your average diner.
