17 South - Temple (TX)

5 /5 Casey Folks: We hosted our rehearsal dinner at 17th South, and they went above and beyond! From the very beginning, the team was incredibly thoughtful and detail-oriented, they even visited our wedding website and surprised us by using our custom wedding logo on the menus. They also replicated our exact signature drink menu and were not only on board, but excited when I asked if I/we could decorate the space to match our Roaring 20s theme. Upon being seated, they even turned on a 20s Big Band playlist! They remembered details! Everything looked stunning, the service was seamless, and our guests were so impressed. On top of that, the event minimum was extremely affordable for the level of service and quality we received. I can’t recommend 17th South enough for anyone looking to host a special event they made our night absolutely unforgettable! Also the portion sizes were OUT OF THIS WORLD. 10/10 experience. Thank you so much 17 South!!!

3 /5 Takira Hamilton: My husband and I came here to celebrate our anniversary. The inside of the restaurant was really nice, and overall the experience was okay. The crab cakes were really good definitely a highlight. I ordered the Ravioli Diablo, and while it tasted great, I was a bit surprised by the portion for the $26 price tag. It came with four shrimp and a lot of chicken, which threw me off since I was expecting more seafood. My husband got the shrimp scampi and only had five shrimp in his dish, he also wished there had been more. Our server was very nice and attentive, which we appreciated. Not a bad experience, just not quite what we expected for the price.

4 /5 Lori Taylor: The atmosphere is very romantic, quiet and it perfect for date night. The food is phenomenal! One area of improvement would be the bar. For such a upscale restaurant, they need a bit better quality experience in the bar area. It was a little busy around the bar as its just right outside the kitchen and lot of staff members congregate there, leave rags, dishes, etc. at the end of the bar which isnt a great look. The quality & selection of liquors & wine should be improved to match the rest of the upscale vibe in this place. The drink menu is extensive and very interesting and if these drinks are made correctly with better products, they will be out of this world! I do highly recommend this place and wouldnt let my feedback about the bar deter anyone from checking this place out. My advice to the owner/manager in the restaurant---walk around and greet your guests. It will make them feel warm and welcome.

5 /5 Tracy Penley: Fantastic food. Flank steak and Ravioli Diablo to die for. Crab cakes yummy. Drink Smoke and Mirrors outstanding if you like a smokey drink. Definitely recommend

5 /5 Dulcie Schasteen: I walked into 17 South for lunch with a friend and was blown away! It is a beautiful restaurant! Then the bread came out and it was crunchy and garlicky and delightful. Next came the salmon which was cooked to perfection and had just the right amount of seasoning, and I’m big on flavor. Would happily drive from Waco again!
