South of The Border Restaurant

I can drive there from my house in less time than it takes to make rice. I have been eating there since I was a wee lad. I can write paragraphs about bad experiences there as well as some very good ones in the past 40 years. Most transplant St. Francisville folks don't even know this little gem exists, nor it's history. It gets more Woodville, MS patrons than anything else.

I ate lunch there today. This is the first time I had been there in at least 2 years. Holy Crap! It was clean. The menu still has some of the old traditional SOTB stuff like the Nyma sauce and the Border Hamburger Steak. It had some new items as well. The loaded burger on the lunch menu was a homemade patty with bacon, 2 cheeses, grilled onions and mushrooms on a homemade "looking" bun. For $12 with fries and a drink.

I will be back again soon to see if this is the re-birth of an old favorite, or just a fluke.
