Food and service were amazing! I had the fried chicken on Sunday. It was really great especially for the cost!

Phenomenal little neighborhood gem on all fronts! THE best burger and chicken sandwich l've ever had, and truly not even close. Maddison was an exceptional server that was very attentive and spot on with her choices, as we took her recommendation on a few items. Fried green tomatoes is an absolute MUST when here and it is certainly DIVINE!! read more

The food was mediocre. The service was slow. Typical Northside. Party of nine and everyone disliked the lunch. Won't go back.

We come about every two weeks. I always get the flounder over mushroom risotto. The food is fantastic! The service is usually always on point with friendly staff and the cozy neighborhood vibe is great. read more

Not bad for a neighborhood joint. Came for brunch/lunch on Sunday and it wasn't very crowded. Food was large portions and has a southern flare. The cinnamon rolls were full of icing which was a little too much but probably make others very happy read more

I would recommend their espresso martini but substitute the vodka for tequila. It was amazing! Emily was so personable to us! She gave great recommendations, we ended up getting the pastrami Benedict which was so unique and great! I loved their grits, so flavorful. read more

My friend and I do monthly happy hours, and this was our October spot! Very glad of the choice to come here and extra grateful for the parking lot lol The restaurant was decorated for Halloween, service was great and we had people checking on us all night. We only ordered drinks, crab dip and wings; simple orders but very delicious! I will definitely come back again! read more

Go see Teresa and Nisha at the bar! I came in for a quick lunch and had an amazing Grilled chicken sandwich. The sauce on the side was so tasty and definitely homemade. I opted for tots instead of fries. So effing good. Service was fast and attentive. Can't wait to go back! read more

Very friendly service, good food, market prices. I would definitely recommend giving them a try!

We like it here and go often, usually on a Friday night for "Happy Hour!" The food is good and the menu has just enough on it to satisfy everyone. We've gone here so often now, that I guess we're "regulars." The waiters let us seat ourselves and pretty much know what we'll order. This is another neighborhood bar/restaurant that probably attracts mostly folks from a 1,000 foot radius, but because they have a pretty good-sized parking lot, it's worth a drive from greater Alexandria and some parts of Arlington! read more

This place accepts reservations for outdoor seating, and then does not honor them. Nowhere on OpenTable does it say "patio is first come first serve," or "outdoor reservations don't guarantee an outdoor table," but that's apparently their policy. Super disappointing to choose a place specifically for reserved outdoor dining, drive all the way over there, have them seat their last outdoor table literally as we're walking in the door 3 minutes before our reservation time, and then not even get an acknowledgment that they messed up, and be told it's going to be a 30 minute wait. Plenty of restaurants have outdoor seating that they don't accept reservations for, which is FINE! But if you do, you should plan accordingly. read more

The food was awful. Pecan crusted chicken was tasteless and the Cobb salad was not good. Service was good but will not be back

Great food and service. Well done food that tantalizes the palate! Definitely recommended

This is a place that excels a good chunk of their menu but remember it's a neighborhood bar so manage your expectations. What they do well: most of the breakfast items. The french toast is pretty good for the price and unlike a lot of places around, you actually get meat included as a side instead of ordering a la carte. The sandwiches are mid--you're not going to find the best sandwich of your life but you will find something tasty for an okay price. A burger and chicken sandwich are safe options, but I personally wouldn't do a deli-type sandwich as a native Philadelphian. Finally, the not-so-great. I wouldn't really get any of the salads since they're pricey and honestly just don't do much for me. If you're eating out with someone who needs healthier options, I would just take them somewhere else. All in all, a solid centerpiece for locals and their visitors. read more

Came here for restaurant week and felt it was a good deal for 40 for three courses! We tried the bbq deviled eggs, the fried Mac and cheese, the salmon, and the steak frites. Then we both finished with the beignets--more donuts, but still delicious! The service was friendly and the atmosphere was quiet, but we were also here on a Monday so it could be different other days. read more

Stopped by on Saturday afternoon with the kiddos for a quick lunch. They were hungry and I wanted to try something new. I knew nothing about it but the reviews were decent and it was close. The vibes are live music (country/bluegrass-y) outside on the patio and sports bar when you first walk inside. Very English pub like with tall booths that lend privacy. We sat in an indoor dining section near the back. Our reception was lukewarm and chaotic. The host took a while to materialize, but there were like 40 people in the tiny bar area so he likely couldn't see us. Out waiter was ... having a less than ideal day. Either that or he was practicing for his next act as a French fine dining waiter. In any event, we ordered- all the kids decided to order the exact same thing, the flounder and I decided to try the honey jalapeño pulled chicken sandwich. The wait wasn't unbearable and the kids menu comes with crayons (a must). And plus the kids figured out that Northside stands for Canadian thanks to the Canadian flag on the coloring sheet! The flounder was well seasoned but we had to flag down someone else to find our server for tartar, hot sauce and the spicy aioli that was supposed to come with my sweet potato fries. After all was said and done, the kids wanted more flounder (the kids menu is 3-4 very small pieces). Again, finding our waiter and ordering four extra pieces. They were perfect and didn't take too long and the kids loved them. The honey jalapeño sandwich was ... okay. 8oz of chicken that needed salt and more seasonings (mild wasn't even descriptive enough for the jalapeño flavor, or lack thereof) and the ramekin of coleslaw barely moistened it enough to make it swallowable! Here's the thing, the concept was good, but, and hear me out here: season the chicken BEFORE you pull it too!!!!!! Yeah. The sweet potato waffle fries were good, if a bit greasy but it's fries. The jalapeño aioli also needed a punch of hot sauce but the mild flavor actually worked with the fries. We went to SweetFrog for dessert because the service we a bit slow even though we were one of only three tables in the entire back section lol. Won't be back, but we enjoyed it! read more

We walked over to Northside 10 after finding it on Google Maps. Bottom line is that it was fantastic! It is a great little tavern with a great vibe. The restaurant is separate from the bar area if you prefer a quieter environment. Their patio was also nice although it was too chilly for us to sit outside. I ordered the Shrimp risotto and it was delicious. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and the risotto creamy. This is a beautiful dish that is truly a feast for the eyes. My husband ordered the Jambalaya Pasta and loaded tots, and his Jambalaya was also culinary perfection. My only complaint is that I would love to see a half-portion on the menu. I could only finish about half of mine. Don't miss this hidden gem. read more

Great neighborhood pub with awesome food! It's small and cozy with a nice outdoor patio. The Parmesan flounder is one of the best fish dishes I've ever had - server over a shrimp risotto with asparagus, tomato, and crab - just perfection! The steak was also flavorful with a great sauce. It is casual and approachable. Highly recommend and look forward to returning. read more

Made a reservation for my mother-in-law's birthday and came to find out it was also the day of the Kentucky Derby! Their patio, including their recently added seating, was packed as no one wanted to be inside. Despite how busy they were, the staff was very nice and helpful. They only had one table outside to accommodate our group size, which was occupied by a group staying longer than predicted, so the staff legit built a table for us in the parking lot. They had a guy singing live music (who was very talented and singing all my favorite songs) as well as a projector showing the races on the side of the restaurant building. It kind of felt like a Kentucky Derby party! I ordered a Mint Julip for the occasion. Loved the cool bronze glass it came in. Not my usually drink, but I enjoyed it. We got a lot of food as a group of 8, I can really only comment on the things near me. For Starters we ordered the Northside Nachos (Cheddar and Jack cheese, pico de gallo, lettuce, and sour cream with your choice of jalapeno honey pulled chicken) and Loaded Tots (Jack and Cheddar cheese, bacon, and sour cream). The nachos were a big serving, but felt it lacked a bit in flavor. I'm not typically a tater tot person, but theirs were pretty good. I really liked the dipping sauce it came with whatever it as. My husband loves a Reuben, so I was not surprised when that was his selection (House cured and smoked pastrami, sauerkraut, gruyere cheese and Russian dressing on toasted rye. Served w/fries and a dill pickle). I enjoyed a couple bites, it was a good sandwich. The pastrami was very yummy. Their fries were also solid, nicely seasoned and crispy. After all the starters, I decided to get the Chopped Cobb Salad as my entree (Southern fried chicken, bacon, egg, avocado, tomato and blue cheese crumbles. Tossed in honey mustard vinaigrette dressing). It was a big salad and very tasty. I didn't feel like I was missing out by ordering a salad at all. The fried chicken was well prepared, and the salad was not overdressed with the vinaigrette. Lots of blue cheese and the vegetables fresh. I also love cornbread and theirs was just how I like it. I have been to Northside 10 a few times when visiting the area and it is always a good choice- something for all tastes and good food. read more

We went here on a whim for lunch on NYE and had a delightful experience. We asked to sit outside / social distance as out of towners and were well taken care of. It was almost 60° so it was pleasant. Our table was wobbly so my husband was going to stick a crayon under it only to see that there was a crayon on the ground, assuming someone had already been doing that. Kids meals come with drinks. My 3 year old ordered Mac and cheese (not on the kids menu, but they do have penne noodles with butter and Parmesan) and I was relieved to see they didn't charge us for the drink she got. Food and drinks were great! I'd recommend this place. Service was fantastic. I really liked our server. Cool dude. Fun fact, the chef is from Michigan. read more

We stopped here on a Saturday afternoon to grab something and we weren't disappointed. We arrived prior to their brunch hours expiring so I tried the cheese steak. Delicious! Maybe not quite on the level of an authentic Philly cheese steak but it was really good. The drinks were pretty good as well. They have outdoor seating which allows you to enjoy the weather (although the restaurant itself is near a pretty busy street). A dimmed interior allows for a mellow atmosphere inside. The server was very good and attentive (the name escapes me). Definitely a place to keep in mind for a future visit! read more

I've been here for meals where I sat in the dining room, as well as some food and/or drinks in the bar. It's definitely a locals place and even though I have lived here for 6 years at this point and been to Northside multiple times, I've not been welcomed as a "local." But the drinks are fine and they have baseball or whatever current sport is going on the tvs which is nice. The service is usually pretty good. read more

Came by on the first day I was in town and really enjoyed my meal! Ambiance: 5 Very cute neighborhood restaurant, the outdoor seating is just as lovely as the indoor seating. Service: 4.5 Seemed a little understaffed as our server was subbing around to a lot of tables and had to be flagged down often. They always got everything right even if it took time to get out to us. Food: 5 Very big fan of everything! Got the artichoke dip that was very good with the bread. Braised ribs were very tender and delicious with mashed potatoes. (Even though the picture on the menu online showed it came with risotto, not potatoes) and the green beans with garlic was also great. The jambalaya pasta was also super good! The side of risotto tasted a little meh but the portion was huge read more

Came in for a retirement party and was pleasantly satisfied. Visiting from California and this was the go to place for my brother in law during the Covid shut down. Great food and location.

Won't be returning on account of us just visiting but I recommend this place for sure. They have a killer spicy margarita! read more

First time trying Northside 10 and enjoyed the location of the restaurant. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating has umbrellas. There is also a dedicated parking lot which is a perk. The crab artichoke dip and bread were good, and lots more dip then bread. The braised prime rib was ok, very fatty on the first order (as seen in photo) and dried out on second order. Unsure who our waiter was as we sat there for a long time and had to ask the bartender if we could get a waiter. The female bartender was friendly and helpful, she ended up taking our order and running back and forth between the bar and us. There was an older masked gentleman who was working tables in our area but continued to skip us and was not friendly when we asked him questions. read more

I got to check out this local bar on a football Sunday. The venue has a decent sized bar with plenty of TV's, outdoor seating, and a private dining room area as well. There was a fair amount of customers but not too packed, I was able to get a seat at the bar and they had enough TV's to accommodate all the games that were playing at the time. The brunch menu was available at that time (11-3pm) which features items like smoked salmon benedict, egg white omelets, breakfast quesadillas, and fried chicken and waffles with prices ranging from $15-$20. They also had a game day menu with specials on wings and certain sandwich options. I ended up ordering from the main menu and went with the blackened chicken southwest wrap with a side of tots. Service at the bar was excellent the bartender Jessica was very attentive to all the guests and provided some great recommendations on food and drinks. The food came out quickly, the wrap was delicious, the chicken was flavorful and the added vinaigrette dressing inside was a fitting compliment. I look forward to returning to try out more of the menu items. read more

BLUF: good food, generous portions but service was lacking. I went with a relatively large group of people on a Saturday for late lunch. We had made reservation but only got there we found out the table is not ready for us. So we had a lot of standing around waiting for tables to be assembled. Once we sat down it took a while to order and orders came out in a very haphazard fashion. Some of us were done before the others even got appetizers. Having said all that I need to be fair to the restaurant. This is also a bar crawl day, and the restaurant was preparing a lot of food for a lot of people outside as well as in. I'm guessing it was one of their busy days of the year. That may well have explained the service that we got. Now answer the food: - Rue Burger: this is meant to be a mix of reuben sandwich and a hamburger. My biggest issue within is that there was barely half a teaspoon of sauerkraut on there. That doesn't say Ruben to me. I asked for my hamburger to be medium, and it was definitely overdone. The fries I came with it or crunchy and very good even without anything to dip them in. also came with some nice crunchy pickle slices on the side. - Cajun wings: kind of a let down. The wings were cooked perfectly with a nice crispy skin, but what apparently is Cajun seasoning is just a very heavy salt of some sort. They're not really Cajun at all. In fact no matter which ones you get they all seem to look about the same the wings themselves are quite good but the flavoring is lacking. I would not recommend getting the cajun, and if you get the barbecue or Buffalo wings ask for the sauce to be on the side and just dip your wings. Poutine: decadent and delicious Brussels Sprouts app: very good Mac and Cheese: plenty of cheese and pasta as well done, but there was basically no flavor. I wish they took the salt that was on my wings and put it on this dish. Flounder: nice crispy cook to this. Very good Short Ribs: very tender and tasty. The outstanding part of this dish is the risotto that it is served on top of. That was buttery and delicious Risotto ball app: wonderfully crunchy outside and moist inside. I would go back, only because I just think I caught them on a very bad day. They just weren't ready for everything coming at them. The food had highlights and lowlights. read more

This is a really great restaurant! Our family got take-out Saturday evening and everyone was very pleased with their dinners. Food was delicious, portion size was large, and the price was very reasonable. We ordered a full slab of ribs... they were tender and had a wonderful bbq sauce. The chicken fried steak with gravy was terrific. My wife had the grilled chicken Marsala salad and loved it. We also had terrific sides: mashed potatoes, Macaroni and cheese, Caesar salad, Brussel sprouts. And a garden salad. All of them were great. read more

The day after Christmas my husband decided that the pounds of leftovers we had in the refrigerator should be ignored and that the better option was to go out to dinner. Sounded logical to me! I've been wanting to check out Northside 10 since we moved to Arlington, and based on the positive Yelp reviews. I made a reservation, but it would be a real understatement to say that it wasn't needed, when we walked into the restaurant there were two people sitting at the bar, there were no other patrons in the restaurant (one might assume that everyone else was at home being fiscally responsible and eating their leftovers). We were greeted promptly and asked where we wanted to sit, we chose to sit in the bar area so we weren't isolated on the dining room side. We ordered a cocktail and a beer pretty immediately and then perused the menu. We ordered an appetizer - the risotto fritters. They were perfectly cooked, with a nice crunchy exterior and a soft interior, however they needed seasoning. Dipping the fritters in the "tomato bacon gravy" it came with really made the dish come together despite the lack of seasoning, the dipping sauce was delicious. I ordered the Parmesan flounder for my entree and it was yummy, not to mention the portion size was huge (more leftovers to add to the pounds we already have ). The meal could've used a bit more seasoning, but otherwise it was quite good and I would order it again. The hubby got the braised short ribs and we immediately noticed and appreciated the amount of green beans on the plate, too often restaurants skimp on the veggies! The braised short rib was nice and tender, but again everything could have used seasoning. All in all we enjoyed ourselves, the service was friendly and attentive, the chef was just a bit too shy on seasoning for our taste. The hubby and I agree that we will be back to give this spot another try. read more

I only came for something small, but I will return soon to try more. I ordered french fries (I did say small) and some water. The fries were great. What's most notable about the restaurant is the service. The staff is super kind and our waitress Savannah was especially prompt and took care of us well. The ambiance is quaint. When you first walk in there is a self-seating bar and to the right is the restaurant. Saturday and Sunday they offer brunch from 11:30am - 3pm and during the week they have happy hour from 4pm - 6pm. Like I said, I wasn't in the area for anything more than a light snack, so I will return to give you more information on what's tastiest! read more

We are here our first night after arriving in Alexandria Va. the place was a little on the dark side for my taste but the service was great and quick. I ordered their version of a pastrami sandwich. They brined the brisket it for several days before smoking and cooking it. First let me say the sandwich was large and delicious. Everyone at our table enjoyed the food. My wife was not happy with her lemon drop. There seemed to be a certain level of rundownness( I know that's not a work) and maybe needed some new paint, fixtures and such but I'd eat here again read more
