"Excellent Everything! Onion Rings, and Jalapeno Poppers were so good! Mushroom Swiss burger on pretzel bun and fries was yummo! The lobster alfredo, garlic bread, and salad was delicious! And the fish and seasoned fries were excellent! Our waitress Brooke Healy was very polite and attentive! The food was on our table in no time on a Friday night, and the prices were very reasonable! We will absolutely be back!"

"Ordered takeout, the food was good and hot, portions were generous, the staff was friendly, and the facility was clean and had a down-home feel to it. My husband and I both ordered the fish and shrimp plates with fries. The serving of fish was plenty there were 6 large pcs of shrimp and they were 2 bite shrimp done to perfection not heavily battered they had more of a panko breading which was perfect. Photos were taken after I had started eating"

"I've been to Deep South several times and have never had a bad experience. So far, we always order a combination of wings, burgers, and Pizza. Everything has been great! We try to get a specialty pizza whenever we go. The pickle pizza is amazing as well as the chicken bacon ranch."

"A good addition to the Southern Illinois BBQ scene. Solid effort even with a packed house at 4:30pm! 5 star on Saturday all-you-can-eat crab legs."

"Is a quaint little rustic restaurant, had never been here before. I ordered the pulled pork basket, you get fries or potato salad, I chose fries, the fries were very good, they were seasoned, and were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just the way I like them, they were perfect. The pulled pork was very good, had a good smoky flavor. Had a good helping of pork, for a sandwich. They put barbecue sauce on the sandwich for you, so if you don't want barbecue sauce you need to tell them. My wife ordered a salad of some kind, I'm sorry, I don't remember what it was, but it was big and she thoroughly enjoyed the salad. It was crisp and fresh and had ham, turkey, chicken,very good. She ordered Chipotle dressing, gave it a little kick. The waiterses were friendly and helpful. Came very close to giving them 5 stars, but it's very hard to get 5 stars from me."

"We drove an hour and a half to try Deep South! It's the only place around with an unlimited crab leg special (only on Saturdays). 4 people in our group did the crab legs while 2 others ordered off of the regular menu! The crab was tough to crack but it was fun and memorable! I'll definitely be back but I'll try something else on the menu next time. The crab was delicious but a lot of work! The crab special does include 2 sides! The fries were absolutely fantastic!"
