First time here and I loved it. The place has a cozy feeling like you stepped back 100 years in time. Had the breakfast Horseshoe and I would say that you need to be max hungry going at that one, it’s big. Service was good, food was hot, ready fast and coffee was good. Didn’t realize they were here all this time and will definitely be back!

Entering the establishment I swear I got the feeling of stepping back in time! I can totally imagine a black and white picture of the diners drinking coffee, enjoying their meals 50yrs ago! What an odd sensation!

1st time here! If you haven’t tried Southside Cafe on the square in Rushville, it definitely needs to be put on your foodie bucketlist! We ordered the Breakfast Horseshoe one with biscuits and one with Texas Toast. Omgoodness! So flavorful and im pretty sure it touched my soul! Great friendly & fast service! Thanks for such a wonderful dining experience! We’ll definitely be back in the future!

Next time, leave the bone out of the chicken that comes from skinning it. Put mayo on your BLT’s. Visited last Thursday in June still. Love the pictures and all.

One of those great small town family restaurants that serves both as a social meeting place and an eatery. The food is of the warm, comfort food variety typical of a good Midwestern cafe. There are daily specials as well as their standard menu. I had the meatloaf with cheesy potatoes and corn chowder. Everything was very good and the portions plentiful. You don’t go away hungry. This is “stick to your ribs food”. There is plenty of seating available and the staff exudes small town charm. If you’re looking for a good, home cooked meal, I highly recommend you give South Side Cafe a try.

I actually haven’t eaten here yet but I called for help with a lunch order and the wait staff on the phone was beyond kind and so helpful. If this is there service over the phone, I am sure in person will be even better.

Stopped in with my aunt and uncle to have coffee while we were waiting for a funeral service. The prices were ridiculous for a small town restaurant. Wasn’t impressed.
