The service is fantastic, they help you immediately and have a pleasant smile, and the atmosphere is great. I definitely recommend it if you want to go with your family or even alone.

I want to say I love on the Border!
However, on the border Southlands does not meet the expectations of On the Border!
1st the restaurant was empty
2nd - we were sat at the bar area and TV was so laud, we asked to be moved to a different area
Hostess was very nice, we sat and chips and salsa were served immediately-
And so we waitedâŚ..and waitedâŚand waited⌠waited some more- meanwhile we saw our waitress (proudly wearing her Broncos shirt! Go broncos!!!) go by several times- not once she said: I will be right with you guys!
Literally we felt ignored.
Waited some more and my husband said: now I know why this place is empty - then I looked at the reviews and read : food is good service is not-
We saw the waitress go by twice again and then we decided to get up - we asked if we owed anything for chips and salsa to hostess, she didnât know- then someone else came, she asked and we were told no - they didnât ask why we were leaving or if everything was ok?
So I turned around and said: our waitress never came around and we been waiting for a while! So we left
So 3rd - our waitress never came to our table waited too long -
Short staff? Ummm no- there was plenty of staff.
Busy? Restaurant was very empty!
Staff on break? Waitress could of said something-
I can see this place going down very quickly - if service doesn't turn around and starts caring for their customers -
Such a sad experience!
So we end up eating at Red Lobster- great service/ fast and food was delicious - our waitress America was amazing!
