We absolutely loved everything about our experience at 243 South! The food, the atmosphere, the vibes — all perfect. We were celebrating Galentines, and our waitress was AMAZING and on board with us every step of the way. She made our night so fun, special, and memorable!
Can’t wait to come back!

Atmosphere and Brunch was incredible.
We had the fried green tomato BLT, eggs Benedict with pimento cheese and FGT and bottle service.
We will be back. Michelle was wonderful.

We had a great experience at 243 South! The steak was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. Our waitress was very attentive, and even though it was our first time dining there, she made excellent recommendations. We tried the crab claws she suggested, and they were just as good as the steak. Everything from the service to the food was top-notch. We will definitely be coming back!

Here’s a five-star review for 243 South:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had an incredible date night at 243 South! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a special evening out. The highlight of our experience was Abey, our bartender, who went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic time. Their attentiveness, recommendations, and overall hospitality made the night even more enjoyable.
The dinner was nothing short of excellent—every dish was crafted to perfection. It’s clear the team here takes pride in delivering top-notch food and service. We can’t wait to come back for another memorable evening! Highly recommend!

While the food itself was ok, the service was terrible, ruining any chance of a good evening. A party of three, we ordered drinks that didn’t arrive for nearly fifteen minutes. The appetizer showed up at the end of our meal, and the staff apologized for forgetting to bring it. The entrees were very overpriced. The ribeye steak was supposed to come with reduction sauce, and it was sadly forgotten. The soup didn’t come with a spoon. The menu says to ask the server for a list of the draft beer, but the waitress said there was no draft beer list. Instead, she named off a few beers and forgot the rest. Tables are too close together, so servers are forced to squeeze between guests. I had to ask multiple times to have my water refilled, something that should be done without asking. I can appreciate the attempt at something upscale in downtown Prattville; however, this restaurant clearly missed the mark. With better service, seating arrangement, and lower prices, I could see this restaurant being worthwhile. Unfortunately, it’s just another run-of-the-mill attempt at a classy experience.

We finally dined at this restaurant and hated we didn’t come sooner! Each and every one of the staff that we encountered were super friendly and helpful! The food was down right amazing especially the Chicken Piccatta! We had the fried green tomatoes for the appetizer and it probably was the best ones we’ve ever had! Thanks 243, we will definitely be back again the next visit to Prattville!

Our first visit here and yeah, they stumbled a couple of times, but you know what…they owned the mis-steps and worked to correct things. This, in and of itself, set them apart from establishments that offer only excuses. Many have mentioned the noise level, do not expect an intimate conversation setting, this was “sports bar” loud and difficult to carry on a conversation across the table. Now, the food and service; top notch. The pace of the meal was perfect and we felt unhurried. Appetizer arrived, then removed. Entrees arrived and we were adequately checked in on, not hovered over. Michelle, our waitress was pleasant and offered great suggestions.
Now, knowing all of this, would I go back? Absolutely. Great restaurant in a safe, inviting small town, downtown

We went for dinner with two other couples. The food and service were fabulous! Before we arrived my daughter said she wanted to join, and the restaurant was very cool to allow us to add her to the reservation. At the end of the meal, someone mentioned a birthday at our table and the sweet server brought out a “birthday drink.” I had the filet, my friend had the pasta. Idk what the others ate but everyone raved about their dish. Espresso martini was 10/10!

Ambiance was amazing but the food was superb! Everything my party ordered was good. And let me just say, the fries are the best I’ve ever eaten. From charcuterie boards, Crab claws, burgers, salads, salmon, (was top tier) etc, options are plentiful. Right in the center of downtown Prattville. I’d love to gate keep this restaurant, but I couldn’t be selfish. The staff was professional, accommodating, and welcoming.
