Delightful mix at Southern Fusion

One of Euclid’s newest eateries is Southern Fusion at 26598 Lake Shore Boulevard.The menu features a delightful blend of southern family cooking, nouvelle cuisine and a chef’s attention to detail. The décor is pleasant featuring both table and booth seating with an expansive front window that fills the service area with natural light.

My wife and I recently stopped in for a sit down dinner, though carry out is also available. I tried the barbecued ribs and chicken special which were both tender and mouth-watering with a sweet and spicy glaze. As a side, I had the fried sweet potatoes which were pan fried, a healthier alternative to standard French fries. Margaret’s dinner was the blackened catfish. Her comment was that it was well-spiced but not overpowering. She also had the southwest vegetable medley which was a crisp mix of zucchini, summer squash, broccoli and peppers with a distinctive blend of southwestern seasonings. Southern Fusion provides a distinctive chef-prepared menu at home-style prices. Try it and you will include this new neighborhood institution on your list of regular stops.

Hospitality is also a signature feature provided by a helpful wait staff and owners Ed and Murial Riggings. Stop in for lunch or dinner and you won’t be disappointed.
