SNACK BAR‎
Southland Snack Bar
Is the home of southland's well-known carolina bar-b-que. For decades the snack bar has been a gathering place for the locals to relax, have a great BBQ sandwich, & converse. The snack bar also serves a full breakfast menu from 6am to 10:30am daily.
Hog Wild Wednesday
Going on close to 15 years ago southland started a new tradition in the snack bar -- half price on dine in BBQ for dinner. We call it "hog wild wednesday". If you come on wednesday's get here early! (Starts around 5:30pm). It is usually a packed house.
Hand Dipped Ice Cream
The snack bar is proud to serve premium blue bunny® ice cream. We picked this brand many years ago based on the quality of the ice cream. We carry many flavors including some seasonal surprises! We are happy to hand dip any combination you like to create your own treat.
Hunt Brothers Pizza®
The‎ snack bar serves hunt brothers pizza® -- made to order -- even by the "hunk" (2 slices). This is also a menu item we chose carefully due to its high quality. You can find a cheaper pizza, but not a better value & quality for its price.
RESTAURANT‎
Southland Restaurant
Is‎ the locals' favorite full service family dining spot. We serve breakfast all day, & we have excellent daily buffets as well! If there is one thing we are known for from the menu it is our fried chicken. You simply will not find better fried chicken that we know of.
Hog Wild Wednesday

Great southern style cooking

Nice family place. Similar food to cracker barrel. Decent salad bar and small buffet on occasion that is kept stocked and clean. Polite and friendly service. Not a great choice if someone in your party is vegan or vegetarian but for the rest of us...More

Good Value with the Buffet

Pleasing variety of Southern favorites, including pulled pork, fried fish and fried chicken. Buffet a better value than menu selection. However, limited hours. Exceptionally helpful and pleasant wait staff.

Safe Choice for Food

This state line restaurant might not be the destination restaurant of your trip, but it is a safe choice with good food and service that the locals frequent if you are passing thru North Carolina to Virginia (or the other way around).
