Good food. Great location, which is convenient to Pentagon, DC and Old Town Alex. Outside seating is comfortable and inside is nice.

So the guys at Southside 815 have done it again with their latest addition to Alexandria's restaurant scene. Northside 10 is a cool neighborhood bar and restaurant the checks all the boxes on the deliciousness scorecard. However, success of this charming spot can be attributed to Chef Teresa, for she is the heart and soul a very inventive menu. I started out with Northside's signature fried Brussels Sprouts. (I know, you hated them as a kid, but here, you'll love them as an adult). These yummy nuggets of goodness have a nutty flavor that screams perfection; of course, a blanket of cheese goes a long way into making this one of the best vegetables you'll ever have. I finished up with some amazing Risotto Fritters that are sure to become a staple of anyone's visit to Northside 10. They are a gooey, cheesy masterpiece that will make you swear that you have discovered the motherlode of culinary wonder. Northside 10 provides a comfortable atmosphere and great service. A fully stocked wine room is bound to make for some superb dinning. All and all, Northside 10 is destined to become one of Alexandria's top restaurants read more

Had the shrimp risotto to go and it was really good. Wish it had a little spice/pepper but overall still an enjoyable dish

What a pleasant surprise! I've been to Northside 10 for dinner with friends a while back and recently returned to try their happy hour specials. My husband and I were greeted and given menus as soon as we sat down. Even though the bar area was pretty full, bartender did an excellent job making sure drinks stay full and checked on our needs. We ordered wings, mini nachos and Reu burger. All burgers are 50% off during happy hour which is a great deal! Getting $16 burger for $8! We loved all the dishes we got. Wings were nicely fried and tossed in sauce. Nachos were (not so mini) portion sized with plenty toppings. My favorite was the Reu burger with freshly cooked fries and a huge patty. We'd definitely return to Northside 10 to enjoy more scrumptious dishes they offer. read more

When I asked about the ribs and the waitress said the meat fell off the bone... I was like, "yeah... ok. Heard that before." Then I ordered it... and it was literally true. It fell apart before I could even get it to my mouth. About the most tender ribs I've had in my life. Giving it a five for that alone. read more

Eaten lunch and brunch at Northside 10 - this locally owned place is a standout. The local feel (service that cares, quality food) shines here. This is one of the most underrated places in Arlington. I stop by whenever I am close by for lunch or brunch (I have not eaten dinner here yet) Staff and service: Friendly, helpful, locally owned and it shows in many good ways as a customer. Ambiance and space: Comfortable and clean, nice outdoor seating area. Food and drinks: Had a Bloody Mary and a coffee with brunch - outstanding. From what I have had the salads are a standout for lunch - really well prepared with care and attention. read more

Ate here based on reviews and I'm stumped at why people love it so much. Our server was not very friendly (pretty snippy when asked questions). The crab dip was gross. I got the Reuben and not only was one slice of my bread the end piece, I think I ate 2 bites of my sandwich. The only thing we enjoyed were the fries (hot and crispy). read more

COVID gave us our first Thanksgiving at home as our own little family unit, and having a newborn baby was going to make it challenging for mom and dad to shop, prep, and find time to cook. Said baby also has a dairy allergy which would've meant additional time researching substitutes and modifications on traditional recipes. Enter Northside10, who offered to make us a dairy free version of their Thanksgiving takeout offering. We had never tried this restaurant before but figured why not, because it would make life SO much easier for us. Their menu was generous for the price point and included a Cajun deep fried Turkey, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, gravy, sweet potato casserole, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and Brussels with bacon. My husband spoke with the chef beforehand and she assured us that she could make most of it DF for me to enjoy. We picked up our meal at our scheduled time on Thanksgiving and were totally blown away! The best deep fried Turkey we have EVER had, and every single item except for the gb casserole, rolls, and gravy was dairy free. The turkey was freshly fried, juicy inside and crispy skin on the outside. The cranberry sauce was ask the best we'd ever had, enough to convert both me (a loyal fan of the ocean spray jellied variety) and my husband (who is open minded enough to try cranberry sauces every year but has categorically hated them all). Thanks Northside10 for making this family's thanksgiving perfect and stress free! We look forward to trying your regular menus!! read more

Food great but service was not that great. Staff was not particularly friendly. It was like they were waiting to go home.

Good meal. Don't get up to this one often, but the quality has not dipped the way other restaurants have. Service was responsive.

I really enjoy this place, especially since it's a 10 minute drive from our house. We ate dinner on the patio several months ago and received stellar service, AND enjoyed everything we ordered. As others have mentioned, must try the poutine - super cheesy and decadent. Hubby devoured the ribs, and I loved the Parmesan flounder which was perfectly cooked and sat atop a mound of shrimp pirloo (similar to a paella texture), asparagus and cherry tomatoes. The portion is super generous, so I was able to enjoy seconds the next day. I liked this dish so much that I returned not long after and ordered it to-go. The prosecco on tap was also delicious, and they appeared to have some interesting cocktails. The dessert menu looked enticing, particularly the key lime pie on stick - it's on my list for next time! read more

My husband and I stopped in for dinner around 7:45pm on a Friday night. The lack of crowd was actually quite surprising considering this is prime dinner time. We were seated immediately in our choice of booth. The bar was slightly crowded, and despite the beautiful weather, the patio was empty. They seemed to have an ok drink menu, but I wasn't paying much attention to that since I, myself, can't partake. A couple of specials were described on a menu (yay for printed specials menus!)-steak and shrimp and fish and chips, I believe. The overall menu is Southern-ish. Our server was great-quick service, suggestions on what they are well-known for, etc. I decided to order the chicken Marsala salad, requesting honey mustard vinaigrette on the side. The salad came with onions, caramelized apples, candied walnuts, tomatoes, and Gorgonzola. When delivered, the portion was huge with ample amounts of all the ingredients. I especially liked the caramelized apples mixed with The saltiness of the Gorgonzola. The chicken was very well marinated in herbs and spices and was very tender. Cornbread was served on the side. My husband ordered the Reu burger-house made pastrami, sauerkraut, Gruyere cheese, house made Russian dressing, and house made pickles. Served with crisp French fries on the side, this burger was monstrous! Cooked perfectly to a medium temperature, he said all of the flavors meshed well together and he would absolutely order this again. The dessert menu looked tempting (key lime pie or brownie sundae in particular); however, since we both cleaned our plates, we didn't think we could handle dessert. The location is just a short 10 minute drive for us and several other menu items looked enticing-especially the honey jalapeño pulled chicken sandwich-so we will definitely return for more meals in the future! read more

Feeling nostalgic as I was driving around the Del Ray neighborhood of Alexandria, VA. The kids and I would go here quite a bit when we lived here many years ago. It's good southern cuisine. I tried out the grilled pork with green beans and side salad this visit. We normally come here during the weekends and get East Coast oysters. And the kids would have the various yummy sandwiches they offer. read more

We enjoyed our dinner. Portions were huge. The revenue and oyster sand which were the highlights. The wings were just average. Everyone was friendly and we had great service. read more

The risotto fritters were delicious. I could eat 10 of them, and they are surprisingly big. I LOVED the chicken and waffles with sausage grazy. The Ruben was ok, the sauerkraut was overly sweet, There was more sauerkruat than meat, it was over powering the sandwich. BUT the fries were SUPER crispy and yummy. The steak and chorizo hash was my least favorite, I won't be ordering again. Although the steak was cooked perfect med. rare it was extremely tough and chewy. Must be a cheap cut. It also just lacked seasoning. Service was good. Not the best, but good. I will be returning. read more

Great place for a solid brunch at a pretty good price! I came here with a friend today and I got a coffee + Fried Chicken Biscuit Sandwich which came with home fries for $11. My other friend got a special which was the BLT Eggs Benedict - which came with Bacon, Spinach, and Tomato combined with the poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. The home fries that it came with were my favorite! I enjoyed them because they included lots of peppers in the potatoes making them both tasty AND healthy. If you come here for brunch, come hungry because the portion sizes are generous! Their menu has a lot of your standard eggs Benedict and biscuit options, ie sausage gravy with biscuits, and fresh fruit as a side. The prices range from $10-$20, and given the portion size I'd say overall this place is a good value brunch place! I liked that this place is spacious, not crowded like some other brunch spots and has a cozy, neighborhood feel with hanging lights. In the Del Ray neighborhood you can't go wrong with Northside! read more

At best the food is regular mediocre american stuff. Don't care for the owners or staff who were very bad to me.

I was on my way home and this sweet little spot caught my eye. I pulled in just as they were opening their doors for brunch and was pleased to see that they offered both indoor and outdoor seating. I opted for indoor seating and enjoyed having the place almost all to myself. I'm pleased to report that they serve large piping hot mugs of delicious coffee. I ordered the $16 shrimp and grits (yes, I really must learn to stop ordering low country foods for big city prices -- when is this fad going to fade, already). Anyway, what I got was a very tasty bowl of soupy grits. I mean, there were 8 shrimp in the plate and runny, runny, runny grits topped with some smokey red sauce (more liquid) and some completely unnecessary micro-greens. Seriously, the flavor profile was spot on, but there is a line about grits that is neatly drawn in Southern soil. Grits should be fork-able as well as spoon-able, not to mention sop-able (best part)! Possibly five grains clung weepingly to my fork. I had the dish boxed up, scratch that, put into a plastic soup container to take home and thicken up a bit for another meal. Guess I am just going to have to return for a happy hour or something to see what else is on offer because, while the flavor was perfect, those grits were just so wrong. Loved the comfy atmosphere, though!! And absolutely zero complaints with the service, of course it was early and I was one of the only customers...still, friendly and unobtrusive. Overall, a pleasant place to enjoy a morning coffee on a holiday weekend. read more

This place is so awesome I had to stop mid-bite to leave a review! I'm always looking for new salad places, but they can be really hit and miss on the portion size, dressing, and overall quality- however, none of these things are an issue here! The size of the salad is honestly huge, the chicken is grilled to perfection, the avocado was freshly cut, bacon was also fresh, along with the tomatoes and other veggies. There were generous portions of the chicken, bacon, bleu cheese, and the salad was just super big in general! It could easily last at least two meals. It's so big I was honestly surprised at the size. It also comes with a big portion of cornbread which was nice! Also, I can be really picky when it comes to dressing, especially with balsamic vinaigrette because it can get really tangy, but their house balsamic is so creamy and delicious and they also included enough dressing with the salad. Cannot overstate how amazing this salad is (chopped cob with grilled chicken sub). The only thing that I would change is the surcharge for changing the fried chicken to grilled. Also got the tots (in case the salad wasn't up to par) and they were great! Freshly made, crunchy, a ton of them! *had to edit the review to emphasize how perfect this dressing is, I could literally bathe in it. read more

Enjoyed the Restaurant Week for a couple from Northside 10! An excellent combination of Southern food worth the deal! The skin o my the chicken is light and crispy, the coleslaw tasty and the Mac n cheese tasted like the kind found in an old country joint in Kentucky where I'm from! Definitely bringing my family here for dinner when they visit! The brownies were delicious, but wish we had bigger pieces (just being gluttonous). Go check out Northside! read more

Felt really disappointed with this cute spot. I ordered an Uber on a Saturday night to northside and arrived at 10:35pm (their hours online say they don't close until midnight) I walked in with my bf and they told me they were closing and we couldn't stay. Meanwhile they had 5 people drinking at the bar. read more

It's super loud in the bar here... You can hardly hear yourself think... But it's cute, so I'm forgiving the establishment. Food is awesome... The wine is good and I'm loving the ((Parmesan flounder)). It's flavorful and amazing... The only thing that's kind of weird is the cherry tomatoes that they put on top are freezing ass cold?!! Haven't decided whether to try the dessert , yet we'll see! read more

Came here on a rain Sunday. I remember this spot being fairly new and taking after a French restaurant, but we never visited. First observation is that they are always packed - or their parking lot is at least! The place is actually pretty MASSIVE. Outdoor seating, indoor seating, bar seating, and their back area seating. So they will always be able to provide! The food is ok. I think there are places that are definitely better, but it does the job. One dish that stood out to me we're their risotto fritters. They were AMAZING. Service was kind of slow, but the people we're extremely nice. Overall - nothing really stood out to me that makes me want to call this place a crowd fave. It's decent, but it's aight. read more

Was looking to get brunch and Northside 10 came up on the map so we decided to give it a try. Got seated right away and the first thing I notice was how cozy and intimate the place felt. Our server Kathryn was very attentive and constantly checked up on us to see if we needed anything and the workers are very friendly. When I think of brunch I think of eggs and I ordered the eggs Benedict that came with a side of home fries and salad. The eggs were poached perfectly, the home fries was well seasoned with peppers and onions and the salad was dressed nicely with a light vinaigrette. It was seriously so good and I enjoyed every bit of it. My bf ordered a spicy chicken sandwich which was actually really spicy and so flavorful! One of the spiciest chicken sandwiches I've ever had and the side of pickled cucumbers and fries balanced it out so well. Our loaded tots with bacon was also delicious and every bite of our food was so great. I highly recommend!! read more

Northside 10 is one of our favorites and we hadn't ordered from here in awhile so we decided to order dinner for this evening from here delivered via Uber Eats. I ordered the Cobb salad with fried chicken. It's also available with grilled chicken. The salad had fresh greens,avocado,bacon,tomatoes (I asked for no tomatoes but my salad had 2 on it),hard boiled eggs,and blue cheese crumbles on it with your choice of dressing. My salad greens were fresh and the salad had a good amount of chicken on it. I love the fried chicken strips from here and that's what they use for the fried chicken topping on the salads. My hubby ordered the Blackened Fish salad. It had a large perfectly done and blackened piece of fish on a nice assortment of greens. The fish was nice and flakey and my husband said it tasted very good. With dinner we ordered a favorite of ours....the Coconut Pie. We absolutely love the coconut pie from Northside 10. It's coconut cream pie covered with whipped cream and it's really,really,really good. Unfortunately instead of the usual big slices of pie we've gotten with all other orders this time we got a tiny "scoop" (or little piece) of pie and another that was a normal size piece of pie. For that disappointment I'm taking one star off. The pie is seriously delicious and giving someone a few bites worth is like tormenting them! We will definitely be ordering from Northside 10 again and again. Everything we have tried from here is delicious. Also this isn't too far away from our apartment building so delivery doesn't take very long. read more

Really not worth it. Food seemed super underwhelming for the price. Ordered 4 apps. Old bay wings are soo dry, salty, and seemed old. Short ribs poutine was not flavored at all and they just had a blob of mozzarella on top, fries seemed old. The crab artichoke dip was sent back since it tasted sour . Lastly, the empandas were the only good thing, but were super small. So yea would definitely not recommend. read more

I love the Northside/Liberty restaurant family so it makes me sad to write this review. First, I want to say the hostess here was wonderful. She was accommodating, smiling, and a joy. We had Dan L. as our waiter. The restaurant was busy but not full. We ordered cocktails and our appetizer. When we ordered our entrees, that was the last we saw the waiter until he dropped off the check. My guest's water was empty before our appetizers came. When the entrees came, I asked the food runner if he could refill my friend's water. He said yes, but her water glass wasn't ever filled. I finished my cocktail right after we received our food, but the waiter was never back to ask if I needed another--which I would have gotten. He never checked on how our food was. We had also planned on getting dessert there, which we didn't since after a long time of sitting with empty plates, the waiter dropped off the check. We went into Old Town for dessert. The waiter came back with the check and put it on the table without looking at us. Our entrees were okay, but not great. They were warm but we could eat them immediately. I won't give up on the Northside family, but I won't be back to this specific restaurant. read more

Within walking distance of my buddy's place is a little gem that has only been there a short time. Happy hour is excellent and pretty great fare at a nice price. It is very busy at that time though, so plan on hanging out a little bit and waiting to take advantage of the best prices. Burgers are large, juicy and flavorful. My only complaint here is that the staff is pretty thin, so you really have to put your patience hat on because they are not likely to be quick by any stretch. I will most definitely return when I have the opportunity to venture into the DC area. read more

Southside 815, a fixture in South Old Town, now has a sister in Del Ray and it is an excellent addition to the neighborhood. When they first opened, they displayed some of the disorder that is common in new restaurants, but they now have their sea legs under them and are humming along. New neighborhood places tend to get tested early. If you went in "too soon" after opening, try again. This is good casual dining coupled with friendly service - just what a neighborhood place needs to be. Try the Happy Hour - excellent food and drink specials. read more

This review is very long...sorry! Just a note...I emailed the manager before Christmas because I explained I wanted to give them a chance to respond, I also apologized that I never posted a positive review for Northside 10 and that was my negligence, but this is why I gave them 3 stars. But at this point I'm done. Im starting this off by saying that I have been going to Northside for years (5+) since I started working at the elementary school down the street. When I started going here I absolutely loved it, great food and service weather sitting at the bar, chatting with regulars or sitting in the dining area. Every bartender and server I met was great and chatted with the manager several times. With the pandemic obviously everything changed & life stopped so...At the beginning of this school year (8/2022), I started to go back & was happy to feel like life was getting back to normal. The last 2 times was just absolutely terrible service & the food was not great. On the first visit, 10/28 at approx 3:30pm, we sat at a high top in the bar area & the bartender came over pretty gruffly to take the drink orders.... throughout the beginning order process, he was very clearly annoyed and took a few of our orders then walked away without taking my order. So after several of my friends were receiving their drinks, I was still trying to place mine. One of the other servers saw my frustration and came over to take my order. Everyone received their orders at different times, but whatever, just trying to relax after a long school day, but left not satisfied with the service. We then went back on 12/7 and were expecting a few other people to join us, and we wanted 2 high top tables to push together. We sat at one high top table & there was another one next to us but there was money, receipts & a cell phone on it, figured it was a servers so didn't move the table, just waited & waited. Finally someone came out & we told them that we would need the center table because we would have more people joining. The server looked bothered & told us whatever we wanted to do was fine, she then removed the items off the table annoyingly and walked away, she did not clean it or move it. So we ended up moving the table over and waited and waited and waited...by then, 2 of the other people we were expecting joined us and we still did not place our order because the server did not return (about 15 minutes), to be fair, it became very busy, very fast, but we were one of the first customers there since it was about 3:30. I was truly annoyed but we placed our orders anyway. Once received, the food was not good. We ordered the happy hour nachos, the chips were soggy, the chicken was not seasoned (as usual) and it was not fresh. My co-worker ordered wings and she said they were hard & not flavorful, she also got sick that night. BTW, these were my favorite wings in Alexandria City. At both of these visits the servers did not smile and just seemed annoyed, to serve us. I don't know what happened, it was my absolute favorite place and recommended it to everyone, who, at one time loved it too. I feel like the treatment was personal, and am not the only one who feels this way, and I don't know why. Unfortunately, we will not be returning, even though they seem to be busy all of the time, and I'm sure it won't make a difference to them, I am super disappointed but we all feel that people should not be treated this way. I have not been to Southside 815 in a very long time, and have not decided if I will do so at this point. Unless I'm craving the wings :( read more
