Sandfly's Southern Soul

If you have driven past Sandfly’s Southern Soul and thought, “I still need to try that place,” well now is the time. The locally owned spot has been open for a bit, but recently expanded its hours to include dinner service, giving more people a chance to stop by outside their normal hours.

Sandfly’s Southern Soul serves classic Southern comfort food, with a menu built around familiar staples. Lunch is served Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., which is when many people first discovered the restaurant. They are now also open for dinner on Thursdays and Fridays from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m., following a recent grand opening for their dinner service. The restaurant is closed on Saturdays and Sundays.

The menu centers on traditional Southern entrees. Fried chicken and smoked chicken are core offerings, along with comfort food classics like Salisbury steak and meatloaf. These are the types of dishes that show up regularly and anchor the menu. Alongside the main entrees, you will find the classic Southern sides most people expect, including lima beans, green beans, collards, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, white rice, and okra.

Dinner service brings a few additional options into the mix. The evening menu has included items like beef pot roast and chicken and dumplings, along with salads for those looking for something lighter. While the menu may shift occasionally, it stays rooted in the same Southern comfort food foundation.

Desserts are part of the lineup too. Items like banana pudding, peach cobbler, pecan cobbler, and key lime pie have all made appearances, depending on the day. Like the rest of the menu, dessert options change, so availability can vary.

Service is straightforward and focused on getting meals out efficiently, whether you are dining in or ordering to go. Phone orders are available, though they ask for patience if they are assisting other customers. It is clearly a small operation, and things move at a pace that reflects that.

One practical thing to know before visiting is parking. The restaurant does not have many parking spots, so it can be a little tight during busy lunch hours or during dinner service.

Sandfly’s Southern Soul is not flashy or trying to reinvent Southern food. It is a neighborhood spot offering familiar dishes, generous plates, and now more flexibility with expanded dinner hours. If you have been meaning to try it but have not made it over yet, the added evening service makes it easier than before.
