The lady we had went way above the call of duty in service and was so friendly with southern charm. Give this place a try, if there is a line don't worry it is worth the wait.

We also ordered the fried chicken breast and a couple of steaks, and everyone absolutely loved their meal. Our friends recently moved to Elkin, and one of them is gluten-free, so we were especially happy to see that they have some wonderful gluten-free options. Everything from the food to the service was awesome. Southern on Main is a great place for a nice dinner out, and we will definitely be back!

It's got the same vibe it's had for the last 30 years. Plenty of seating in their two dining rooms, with both booths and tables available. They have dinner plates, quick lunch foods, scrumptious desserts, and ice cream! The owner is always around joking and chatting with everyone and offers free ice cream for the kiddos, which we greatly appreciate! I love to stop in, even if only for ice cream. They have a great Hot Fudge Cake. There are video games in the one dining room so something for kids to do if you're willing to give them a dollar or two to blow while you wait. There is one comical thing about this place, though. The women's bathroom. It's clean and all, but if you know, you know. It cracks me up every time I go in there.

When we were arrived we were the only folks there and we had our choice of seating. There isn't tons of seating inside, maybe room for 50 total. We took a seat in the smaller room on the left. The server came quickly to drop off menus and get drink orders. Maybe not completely necessary to mention, but their sweet tea here is good and not overly sweet. The menu is a little more diverse than you'd expect at a BBQ place. Lots of good options. We ordered buffalo chips with ranch to start. They arrived hot and crispy. These were probably my favorite part of the meal. I ordered a hot dog with the special side of the day (buttered corn) and was sharing a 1/4 rack of ribs and mac and cheese with friends. The server had to make sure they had ribs ready. They did. The food for the table came out and my hot dog and corn was dropped off. The ribs were "on their way." A group of 11 came in and the servers started to focus on them. The hot dog was good. A classic NC red dog that had a little crinkle/wrinkle to it which I like to see cause I know they are well-cooked. Toppings were ok. Seemed like they were stingy with the chili (see pic for evidence). The corn was bad - barely warm, watering, and lacked flavor. We had finished our meal and the ribs hadn't come out of the kitchen. We waited and waited. Eventually catching the server's attention. The kitchen hadn't seen the ribs on the ticket. They apologized, took it off the bill, and would get it to us quickly. The rib plate came out. I was going to ask for one of their signature sauces but the plate was dropped and the server headed away quickly. Ribs were great - well smoked and tasty. Definitely would have loved to try their sauces. The mac and cheese was mediocre. barely warm and you guessed it, lacked flavor. Some highs and lows from Wood Box but I'd probably go back and try some of their other items.

It's wonderful to see how this historic landmark building in downtown Elkin has been so beautifully preserved. The lobby of the old theater is the location of the cafe. You place your order at the bar and it's delivered to your table once it's ready. The lady working at the bar was very nice and helpful. Although the cafe was pretty busy we didn't have to wait long for our order to arrive. They offer a nice selection of sandwiches and sides. The soup of the day was pepperoni pizza soup...didn't give that one a try but it sounded intriguing. The bread used to make the sandwiches was better than most restaurants and the quality of the food was excellent. They have regular events with live performances each week inside the theater.

I asked for it to be warmed and they did just that, nuked it and it came back at a warmer temp, but the food was still mid. I would go back of course, but I'll opt for some other dish the next time.
