Great food! My wife and I had lunch there and I had the Ahi tuna sandwich that came with a wasabi spread on the side. The sandwich was fresh and very good tasting tuna. The wasabi was great too. My wife had the bookmaker salad which she enjoyed. We also shared an order of wings, old bay wings that were perfectly cooked. Everything was reasonably priced especially for the area in the summer time. Will definitely go back. read more

Good lunch and friendly service. Homemade Manhattan clam chowder and 1/2 build your own sandwich with chips for $6.99 is a value that's hard to beat. First time here for lunch but the food and drink menus look great so we'll be back for dinner! read more

I absolutely loved my Caesar salad with blackened chicken. 10/10 recommend. Prices are reasonable. Loved my dinner.

Service: Heard about the customer service thus far from the manager and then supposed "owner"/gm...and not for good reasons. Went in and was pleasantly surprised however bar service was slow during a weekend lunch. For perspective-There were about 6 people at the indoor bar but the bartender had to manage drinks from the staff, carry out orders, and the 6 of us sitting at the bar. Maybe two bartenders or a bar back would help remedy this during summer weekends. Food: gumbo was good- add your own flavor (hot sauce). Create your own salads were good-the veggies were fresh. Menu: pretty conservative probably to rake in the crowd from the Pines. Interior: absolutely beautiful on the inside- whomever designed the bar and chose the paint, light fixtures etc well done! There was a wait but not to sit in bar area. read more

This is such a good place. Friendly staff and very attentive. The food is outstanding. I had the shrimp ravioli..not to be missed. My partner had the ale battered shrimp..cooked perfectly. Don't drive past this gem. read more

Ordered online just to sit at the bar and wait for my food that was already sitting right in front of me to go for no less than 15 minutes. Thing was there were 2 jackwagons behind the bar and only 2 people sitting that were already served. Both employees walked past me multiple times and wouldn't even look at me while carrying on to themselves with some bs conversations. Like did you think i was there to just stare at you? Trust me if i wanted to go stare at people those 2 blokes would be last of my list. Haven't even gotten to the food yet. Absolute rubbish. Don't understand how it's packed every night. -20/5 read more

Southgate Grill - Tiki bar with our great friends!! - Salad Near Me - Berlin, Maryland

See all

Our family's top 5 go-to restaurant. Great menu with different nightly specials...we've had just about all the menu with no complaints! All very good! Very family-friendly with an outside 'tiki' bar for grown-up time. Very large portions on all menu items, including kids selection. Smart in that if the kids are happy & content, grown-ups will linger, have another beer/cocktail, maybe an appetizers and/or dessert. Clean bathrooms; great hostess's are friendly, engaging, and happy to greet you! A 5*........hits on all points Definitely a must-dine! read more

Just wanted to compliment Lori who in my opinion is an excellent employee. Very attentive to customers, very pleasant personality to discuss menu options, an employee you should be very proud of. I will be back & spend more money. As a retired business owner of 40yrs, employees like this are rare. read more

I love down the street and was weary about coming here however I chose to gave it a chance. The environment is great, the food is wonderful, and the drinks are great and fairly priced unlike in ocean city. There is an outside deck which is great to use during nice weather and nice bar inside too. The two bartenders I encountered were fun, friendly, clean cut, casual, and professional (Chris and Steve). I got my drinks quickly and whenever I have asked for my tab, I received it almost immediately. I also enjoy the live bands that come here and perform on occasion. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants great food and great service. -Richard S read more

Southgate Grill - Salad Near Me - Berlin, Maryland

Good food We recently stopped by after a long day at the beach on a Sunday evening. The place was very busy and has a great vibe. We asked to set outside by the water and we really enjoyed it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars because of the service. Our server had no time to tell us the specials and it was hard to get his attention when ever we needed a refill or another drink . I understand it's summer time and they are busy but we still paid full price and we deserve a good service. read more

We went there for lunch recently for the first time and it was a pleasant surprise. The menu gave us an array of choices, the ambiance was nice and our server, Dey... was pleasant and attentive. The prices were wonderful as they are more reasonable than some places in Sussex County where were are from. The overall lunch experience was very good and on the return trip we stopped by for HH. I was pleased to find decent wine choices which sometimes is mediocre at pubs like this. We will be back. read more

I like the food and the outside bar but service can be slow sometimes. We go here a lot because we live in Ocean Pines so it's very convenient! read more

Always a great choice! I do audio video work for a living. I know where I'm eating if I see them on the schedule. And I've been through the kitchen which I can say it's one of the cleanest I've been in. read more

What is worse than bad service at a restaurant? NO SERVICE, We went to Southgate Grill tonight to watch some football, have some drinks and have dinner. - or so we thought. The host seated us and after 15 minutes we had no server. I asked the host to get us a server and sat back down. After another five minutes without a server we got up and left. We commented to the server that we still had no server. His comment? "Yeah, I know." We've been here many times before - mostly for lunch, but also for dinner. For the most part service has been OK. This was totally unacceptable. It was not a function of a big crowd. The place was maybe half full at best. The lack of service and the lack of an intelligent response by the host tells me there may be good reason why there was no crowd. Perhaps others have caught on to the lack of caring and the lack of competence we experienced. We observed a server waiting on several others who came in after us. Our server? We'll never know. Get rid of the incompetent staff. Have a manager who is involved and cares. Let me know when that happens and we may come back. Until then, you've lost a good customer. read more

Very disappointed. Called them for carryout at 5:40 for an order of french fries and a bowl of Jambalaya. The girl who took my order told me that it would 15 minutes. Drove up and waited and waited. By 6 :30 they finally told me that they burned 3 orders of French Fries. Really! 45 minutes and they finally told me that? I asked for my money back which they gave me. The food used to be pretty good. I couldn't tell you how the food is now. read more

Heading to Assateague Island, found this place for lunch. Traveling with our granddaughter who isn't easy to find food she will eat. This place had a great grilled chicken and fries. She was very happy. Hubby had a their build your salad, it was huge. Daughter and I had their fish and chips, very good. read more

The food every time we go is amazing! the cream of crab soup is delicious. My wife created her own burger and she enjoyed it, I had the Bookmaker No olives and a Neptune Wrap. Hands down 10/10 would recommend to everyone to stop by and enjoy. The atmosphere is great and the service is stupendously gratifying. read more

Went in tonight thinking I could sit down with my girl and enjoy a few drinks. We showed up and I went to the restroom and when I came out we didn't have any drinks served to us yet. Plus on top of that the guy bartender didn't seem pleased we were there and made it known that last call was at 1045. So we decided to leave and go to whisker's instead since they close around 12am. He made a joke to some other patrons and laughed about it as we walked out. Really not happy about that experience tonight which is unfortunate because we actually like that spot. read more

Without a doubt this was the worst meal Ive had on the Eastern Shore. I cant fathom how this place has a 4 star rating; I imagine its because people mainly go to drink and get food as an afterthought. I got the seafood platter and the crab cake was just bad. It was cheap, canned crab meat with tons of filler. Everything else on the plate was fried and tasteless. The chicken topped with crab dip was bone dry. The chicken was frozen for who knows how long and cooked until any decent amount of texture was obliterated. The mashed potatoes 100% came from a box. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere but here. Never again. read more

The service was good. Food was average at best. We had the crabby fries which were good. The entrees were sub par - we ordered 3 entrees of the ahi tuna - one rare, and two medium rare - all came out nearly well done and completely dry. We also had the breaded shrimp - tasted and looked like it came out of a frozen box like Gordon's. And the rice and collard greens were void of any flavor. The cheesesteak was okay - but nothing to go crazy about. Seems like a good place for a quick drink and maybe an appetizer. Look elsewhere for a good entree! read more

We had to send our cream of crab soup back to get heated up as it was served just barely warm. Excellent soup though. Then I found a long black hair in my beef sandwich....yuck! Will definitely not go back. read more

Well....they have a sandwich called The Boss. It's a pile of Flank Steak between two pieces of bread. My friends asked the waitress if it was good, and she said she loved it. It was the most disgusting thing they ever ate and could not eat more than a couple bites. I tried it - disgusting. Lose that item on the menu Southgate Grill. Another friend got the tuna salad sandwich. It was a pile of canned tuna fish with a lot of water. The bread was soaked with the tuna water - disgusting. I got the jambalaya and a turkey Ruben. They were good. Hit or miss food. Nice people. Clean. Lose the Flank Steak. read more

So we were at outside bar and we were required to social distance at bar! Yet the inside bar had no social distancing whatsoever! Outside we couldn't extend our group from 3 to 4 at bar! But the high top table right next to us was increased from 4 to 5 adults plus a baby. And they were chasing the baby around with no masks the whole time. Not to mention they are still using styrofoam to go boxes.. WTF! BTW.. the burger was good! read more

I am a local from the area and this restaurant has always been my go to place! Amazing burgers, fries and more!! I never get tired of it!

0. The management and ownership of this place is terrible. The manager has absolutely no customer service etiquette or understanding about customer service. It was not only a problem for her to have a table of more than 4, but then when we decided to use the "nicer" chairs at the empty table beside us that had not been used in hours we were "scolded" for our behavior. Second time, last time! Should have learned the first time! read more

Went mid afternoon on a Wednesday so not very busy. Food arrived slow and was neither hot nor tasty. Definitely would not patronize again.

Food is great.. I never saw a blt with so much bacon as there... not on my life... at least one lb of bacon. We are there every week for the blt. Kids and adult loves it. read more

Prices were very comfortable and staff was very friendly but why is it soooo hard to find a place that makes decent wings around here?!?! I asked the waitress before I ordered if the wings are fried and she said yes they are. Well as soon as she served them I knew it was a lie. The skin was still soggy so I was just waiting for it. Sure enough at five wings in I find a undergone chicken wing. The wife tells the waitress and her reply was "well they bake then fry the wings so that should be impossible" So of course we get the tone of we are looking for something for free and she asks if I want another order. No thanks, I've just paid 35$ to find out never to come back here was my response. read more

Finally a winning approach in this location. Food is very good and the staff is super friendly!! Love the build your own burgers, sandwiches and salads. The homemade soups are delish! read more

This place hasn't even had its grand opening yet and it's PACKED every night! It's amazing. Prices are awesome, food is awesome, drinks are awesome, staff is awesome and happy hour is AWESOME! Only thing to make it any better is when the tiki bar opens! We live walking distance from this new gold mine and plan on making frequent visits. And it's open till 2am! Did I mention happy hour is awesome!? Very excited about this place. Everything before it in this location was less than mediocre and never an option for us...so our anticipation for south gate has been building ever since they started remodeling and we are please that it is a pleasant change. If you haven't already give it a try!!! Be patient they are still trying to work out all their kinks!!! read more

The cheese n chicken cheesesteak along with the hot wings are reasonable and delicious. Enjoy my meal there with my husband n my niece.

We're visiting the area, and saw this place. Very glad we did. Our server, Julia, was very professional, courteous, and effervescent to the point of making us comfortable, but not over done. We will be going back, and I hope she's our server again. The food was excellent, and abundant. My wife had the Fried Shrimp, and I the Fisherman's Platter. The food arrived promptly, and was properly prepared. We did share the Jambalaya, and it was very good (very close to that which we had in New Orleans), when we go back, we will have it again. I also had the Crab Cake, and it was one of the best I have ever had. With Crab Cakes, a lot of the complaints center on the unusually high quantity of "filler". This Crab Cake was very contrary to that, you'd be hard pressed to find the filler, and it was moist, AND DELICIOUS. Like I said, we will be going back, and I would recommend it to all. read more

Good food, decent prices, nice atmosphere. Only complaint is that I went in with my family of 10+ people and they sat us all sperate cause the most they seat is 10. Other than that it's a good place to eat. read more

Loved this place! Lovely, clean, new with Really good food... Fresh hot, boardwalk style fries, fresh self built salad and good Cuban sandwich. Ladies room super clean and very well lit, love that! Plan on returning! read more

Disappointed. The food is good. The servers and kitchen staff are awesome. However, the novelty has worn off for me. I won't be back.

Seriously how do you mess up a BLT? By not having any mayo and tomato on it. Maybe you should just call it a bacon sandwich. Ahi tuna was mushy. This was our second bad meal here. Their Back Street Grill in Salisbury is great. This one needs some improvement. Who eats a Cuban on hot dog roll? Get some decent bread. The ambience is great but the food not so The bar tender was some what rude. read more

Well priced, comfortable eatery outside of the hustle and bustle of OC. Our server was very accommodating, especially with one of ours that has an allergy to nuts. We will be back again! read more

Stars go to the server.. Yep we are under 60, and been to this establishment 2 times in three years... I'm stunned at the unappealing food that pasted our table... Then we received ours??? Well needless to say it was also unappealing and looked like a stomach ache later ... So surprised that people keep this establishment open... People you deserve better, establishment you should put forth better... I'll never return, 2xs 3 years... The same unpleasing, old looking canned and frozen foods... read more
