Not a night owl? Try lunch at Southern Comfort Steakhouse and Nightclub

A lunch plate at Southern Comfort Steakhouse and Nightclub includes meatloaf, creamed corn, broccoli, slaw and cornbread roll. The Broad Street eatery offers two luncheon entrees each weekday plus three sides for $7.95.

OK, so I went to Southern Comfort at lunch for vegetables, but I saw homemade meatloaf on the menu and temptation got the best of me.

Southern Comfort Steakhouse and Nightclub, on Broad Street next to Sugar’s Ribs, opened in April. Its advertising focuses on the steakhouse and nightclub part, but the place also offers a meat-and-three lunch.

I usually skip meat at lunch and fill up on veggies, but meatloaf — a staple of family meals when I was growing up, with green peas and mashed potatoes — just has too many comforting associations to pass up.
