About us

To our regret, the Book Loft and The Homestead Clothing Store went by the wayside after 30 years, but Arnie still needs to eat, so the South 40 remains a fixture in Sidney. We've fed statesmen and famous entertainers, but our most important guests have been our friends and neighbors. People like Ann and Warren Fisher, who have dined here regularly since we opened.

We owe our years of success to wonderful employees like our Nedra Madison who has been with us longer than she'll let me put in writing. And to the impressive crew who helped us sweep the 2019 Best in Richland County Awards. Many of our favorites have moved on, but we still miss them and still consider them a part of our South 40 family.
