The Southerner (Cape part 1)

Yesterday we went down to Cape for a quick day trip.  We discussed several places before deciding on the Southerner in part because of recommendations for friend, classmate, cooworker Debbie who lives in Cape and also our nephew Andrew.
We stopped in Academy to check a few things out and then headed to the Southerner.  We'd stopped there for a beer earlier in the year we were familiar with it.  When we got there earlier than we normally go places and it was crowded.  Luckily there were a couple tables open in the small bar area which we preferred anyway.
I'd been torn between catfish nuggets or pork chops on the way down.  I decided on the fried catfish nuggets with brussell sprouts and slaw.  The Glue got shrimp creole and a spinach salad.  My catfish wasn't the best I've had but it was still good.  The tartar sauce was different but okay, I'd have preferred a more mainstream one.  The brussell sprouts were good but a tad overdone.  The slaw was some of the best I've had, it was awesome.  The Glue said her spinach salad was probably the best she's had, it was really good.  She also really liked the creole and the shrimp on it were on point.  My catfish was supposed to come with hushpuppies which isn't really my thing.  When the food came out the waitress said the hushpuppies were overdone and they were making more.  Really respect that rather than serving stuff you know isn't right.
The staff was really busting their butts off but still were friendly and helpful.  When we were finishing up what appeared to be the cook came out and talked for a moment which was nice. 
Really good place that we'll add to our normal Cape spots
