Nice comfortable setting that used to be a house at one time I believe?? We sat in what I think was the patio but it was air conditioned, so I was happy! Then while there, Pop comes out and tells us we are all going to stand for the National Anthem!! How nice!! A true patriotic restaurant!! I had a steak with a baked potato, cooked to perfection! Came with an all you can eat salad bar! My grandson had all you can eat seafood bar which he had to have the crab legs as well. He loved it!! He had sweet yes and I had my favorite unsweetened tea! Truly a good decision to stop. So if you're in the Salt Springs area, stop by, you'll be glad you did!!

The quality is no where near what it was the other times. She also noticed pop was on sight, too. So he has lost control of the kitchen. Good things can't last forever. F.Y.I.

The Rose Villa Southern Table and Bar was not just the best place I visited on a recent stay in the Port Orange/Daytona area, it's one of the best places I've eaten period and all I did was lunch. We stopped in without reservations but they found space for us outside on the front porch. It was right after Christmas and I have rarely seen a restaurant do it better. Cotton in the trees and bushes to simulate snow, classic Holiday decor everywhere you looked. Every detail was amazing! Inside was like stepping into 19th century home that was elegant and regal. The only thing better than the atmosphere was the food. Our Pork Belly Bruschetta was elegantly presented and just melted in your mouth. Salty, sweet, robust, just incredible and a great recommendation from our waiter. My wife and I split the Shrimp Po Boy along with a Chicken sandwich and there were both just next level compared to anytime we've had these before. If you're in the area, if you're within an hour, if you want to do a day trip, build it around the Rose Villa Southern Table and Bar. I can't wait to try their dinner. and bring others to enjoy this truly top-notch dining experience. This is what dining out should be. I highly recommend you give them a try.

We sat in the bar but we could have easily gotten a table at 5pm on a Thursday. But by 6pm when we left, every table was full. The prime rib - I asked for the rarest piece and it did have some pink to it. I like the horseradish sauce that came with it and also with the fried mushrooms. The fried mushrooms were also good and plentiful. Not the absolute best ones I've ever had, but I order them everywhere. They were very good and fresh too. Hubby got the ribs, small order. He almost finished them, 1 left. We both liked that the BBQ sauce wasn't too sweet. These ribs are helping to make a St. Louis style ribs person of him. (Usually he is a baby back only guy). The baked potato was really good, with salt on the outside. The vegetables were watery frozen ones. Given the high quality of the rest of the food, that was a disappointment. Yelp is asking me about ambience. This place is sort of like a diner with a decent sized bar in front. The tables and chairs looked to be in good repair. There is a choice of booth, high top and regular seating. Southside does not have happy hour but the prices are low to begin with.

Wish I had gotten the waitress's name as she was very good, friendly and attentive. The food was fantastic. I got a cheeseburger with baked potatoes instead of fries. The burger was cooked well and to my liking and it was very tasty and juicy. The potato was just as good. My husband got the meatloaf dinner and he said it was wonderful. I did taste his meatloaf and I have to say it was so tasty and moist that I might get it next time. Can't wait to go back and try some other dishes as well. They have a surprisingly varied menu. Oh I almost forgot to mention that we got the apple cobbler for dessert and it was fantastic. Warm and sweet, served with a healthy portion of vanilla ice cream.

The one negative criticism I would mention, is that the exterior buildings could use a good pressure wash and a fresh coat of paint. Not much to ask for an otherwise great business venture.

The exterior is clean and simple. When you walk in, it's clean, simple, and a bit Chip and Joanna-esque, which I love. I was quickly greeted and told I could sit anywhere. I was given a menu and their drink menu. After being off coffee for a week, I saw that they make their own coffee syrups, so I got an iced decaf almond milk latte with their salted caramel syrup. While I waited, I looked over the menu. I really wanted to try the french toast or the waffle, but opted for the bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant and cup of their cheese grits. The latte came out quickly and tasted exquisite. Sometimes you get decaf and it tastes watery, but not this latte. My friend ordered a salad with grilled chicken on top. Everythign came out quickly. The first thing I noticed were the cheese grits. They were delicious. Rich, creamy, and flavorful. Get them. The bacon egg and cheese on a croissant was also really good. They sell coffee at their shop to bring home.

It was just after noon on a Friday when we arrived and there was a 10-minute wait for a table. Upon being seated, we were presented the menu. We both considered ordering the Reuben Sandwich but I opted instead for the Club Sandwich on Ciabatta (as recommended by our server) and a side of Seafood Chowder. We both just ordered water with a slice of lemon to drink. Our server eventually came back with my wife's Reuben sandwich served with a bag of chips and she also had my cup of chowder, commenting how the club sandwich will be served shortly. My wife liked her Reuben, with tender meat and sharp sauerkraut. She also liked how the rye bread held up to the strong flavors. My chowder was equally good but it wasn't served with crackers. We waited a while for our server to return so I could ask for some crackers but she went ghost on us. Finally, more than 10 minutes after my wife was served her sandwich, a gentleman, who we can only assume was the manager, came over to ask if I've been served my club sandwich. Of course I pointed to a clean table to indicate no sighting of my sandwich and I also asked for some crackers. A few minutes later, the same man came back with some crackers and apologized for a mix up in the back. That's when I told them to forget the club sandwich so we can be on our way. To the manager's credit, he had the club sandwich boxed up and gave it to me free of charge. He was very apologetic. I was still a bit miffed and thought about leaving the sandwich there but my wife convinced me otherwise. Needless to say, service wasn't at the forefront during that dining experience. Despite the service mix up, however, I was still inclined to give this place 4 stars for the taste and quality of the food. The staff can have some inconsistencies and I tend to believe that's not the norm for this establishment which has earned high marks on Yelp.

The smell of those fresh cinnamon rolls hits you as soon as you walk in. Recommend calling ahead for the priority seating, as we were sat as a table of 6 relatively quickly on a busy late morning. Parking lot next door was fairly full, but didn't have any issues. Sunday brunch is an all you can eat buffet featuring a mix of fried seafood, southern style sides, breakfast favorites, and their usual fixings bar. Everything was hot and fresh with plenty of eyes and attention from the staff on keeping things clean and stocked. The fried catfish was an absolute favorite and the fresh omelette and pancake stations had excellent options. Dessert is a little lackluster, but only because the cinnamon rolls steal the show. Our server was quick to refill drinks and take away the finished plates along with recommending some of his favorites. Outside the restaurant was some live music on the patio along with a playset for kids leading to a long dock out to the pier on the river. Great photo spot and we even saw some manatees. Overall a great experience and worth a trip.
