The Southerner & Katy O'ferrells

After a doctors appointment Tuesday in Cape we decided to check out The Southerner since it was across the street from the Hospital.  It's at the Drury but stuck on the side by the interstate.  There's a small bar area and a larger dining area.  The bar had several selections of draft beer and after sampling a couple we both decided on O'fallon Breweries Maple Bacon Pumpkin ale.  It's a red ale and was good for one but I think it would get a little too sweet for any more.  The bartender and what I assume was the manager were very nice and talkative.  The menu is a little iffy but has some choices that stand out.  The place is affiliated with Tractors in Jackson that we really liked.  We'll grab something to eat there down the road.
We'd considered eating there and at BG's but stayed the course and went to Katy O'ferrells for the first time since the poor experience on my birthday.  Of course we both ordered the house irish red ale that is made by O'fallons Brewery and is one of our favorites. 
I was torn between the Celtic pot pie and the reuben but ended up getting the reuben.  I was going to get carrots instead of chips but at the last minute went with chips.  I asked if they could season them up and the waiter said they could do salt and vinegar or salt, pepper and garlic which is what I went with.  The Glue got the soup and sandwich choosing roast beef and beer cheese soup.
The reuben may be the best I've had, it was great.  I'm glad I got the salt, pepper and garlic chip option, it was a lot better then the other.  The Glue's roast beef was also very good but she said the beer cheese soup was just okay and she should have got the potato soup.
A much better experience than when we ate there last.
