When I think of a sandwich that has the ability to make my mouth water just thinking of it, few come to mind, but what the sandwiches they make at Southie is definitely one of them. I've had their Spicy Hog, steak with mushroom, a few Cubans, but the one that I always come back to is "The Balls" sandwich. First off, this sandwich is massive, so be sure that you come here on an empty stomach. These beef meatballs are seasoned to perfection and bursting with flavor. The balls are covered in their red sauce with provolone and Grana Padano, which gives it that nutty and salty flavor that pairs extremely well with the meatballs and baguette. All the juices and cheese just get soaked up to perfection. The baguette bread they use is supplied by La Farine, which is just a few meters away from each other. Just putting out there that La Farine is hands down one of the best bakeries in Oakland, so it makes sense that this sandwich would be so dang good. I'll be honest that I'm not a big fan of the chips or those chips in general and could be fine with just the sandwich. If you are going to have any sandwich to eat here first, I would highly recommend you try "The Balls" because I promise you will be disappointed. I will always say that the dozen or so times I've been here, the staff are always so friendly, and the atmosphere is very down to earth. The price of their sandwiches is in the $20 range, but the quality and portion make it totally worth it. read more

I was very surprised the pulled pork sandwich was very delicious. The turkey pancetta pesto also good. What I really didn't like was the bag of potato chips they put on my plate. The texture difference was fine. It needed it, but I would've preferred hand cut potato wedges or french fries with a pulled pork sandwich. I did enjoy my meal and I will come back again. I'd try the meatball sandwich. This was yesterday read more

I didn't care for my meal. Of the two people who joined me one liked everything. And one was okay with one of the three dishes. The pulled pork sandwich for me was a complete bust. I should have asked if the slaw was sweet. So that's on me. Pork didn't have much flavor combined with the vinegar based slaw made a sandwich I didn't enjoy. The habanero hot sauce they have was the saving grace. That stuff was delicious. The meatball sandwich was good. High marks on the meatball from the two beef eaters at the table. The breakfast burrito was underwhelming. Employees and service were great. Same with the iced tea. Loved the carafe. read more

So far have only tried sandwiches via takeout but they are delicious. We recently had the meatballs and the spicy hog sandwiches. Both are very large. The spicy hog had the perfect amount of spice for me, super flavorful. Definitely need to come back and try more things! read more

Definitely all about the sandwiches! My wife loved her BLAT. Getting the Niman ranch "balls" next time for sure. The poached egg + bacon salad needed about 3x the goodies but was still tasty and a good healthier option. Loved watching the chefs take care of everything they were preparing! read more

Never been treated worse at a Rockridge eatery. Manager brought check twice before closing time without asking if I needed anything else, then called me "aggressive" for pointing out she had already brought me the check once. Also included - nonverbal expressions of annoyance at me from the moment I walked in and asked about the menu options. Maybe she was having a bad day or was biased against me, but I have never had an experience like that before. Me aggressive? Ever heard of hospitality? Interaction ended with her yelling at me and asking me to leave when I asked her what was going on with her interactions with me. Food was great. Service awful that time. Only takes being yelled at once though so goodbye Southie! read more

The service here was amazing! Shout out to the servers. So I had the poached egg salad and carrot soup. The salad was fresh and the Truffle dressing really matched well with the salad. The ginger carrot soup had very light ginger, so it wasn't overpowering. My meal was amazing. My coworker had the pastrami hash. She found it to be fatty and didn't really like it. She was also shocked at the $15 mimosa charge. Seems we had two different experiences because I genuinely liked my food, and she wasn't thrilled about her food. Personally, I would definitely return to try their other dishes. read more

What a local gem! I've gone several times for lunch and dinner and it never disappoints... great food, fun casual vibe and awesome service!

Glorious little place on the way to visit the Cal camous. We walked in to a genuinely pleasant fellow and a fantastic space. We placed our irder at the front and took our spots at a tiny table. The guy, wishing I'd gotten his name, brought us waters immediately and our drinks shortly thereafter. The green jasmine tea was out of this world! It was the most jasmine-y jasmine I've had. I could rave about the tea for days...it was that good. I was treated to a cup to take with and savor as long as I could make it last. The sandwiches were really tasty. Cuban was hot of the grill, cheese meltwd and gooey, house made pickles were tangy with a good crunch. There was a hefty serving of thinly sliced pork wedged between the bread. Each bite was just bursting with the yum factor you need in a good sandwich. The BBQ pork was also terrific - kiddo ordered without slaw or aioli so I didn't get the full experience. What I did taste was very tasty. The pickled jalapeños were soooo good, the pork tender and savory. Worth the stop! read more

I love a good hearty meatball so when I saw Southie serving their famous "The Balls" sandwich, try saying that without giggling... "I'll have an order of the balls!", I knew I had to make a visit. The Balls - Large and in charge. I'm glad I brought this home to eat cuz my tiny hands were not able to hold this massive sandwich and eating is was definitely a challenge. Got me looking like a troubled toddler refusing her dinner. Meatballs flying everywhere, sauce splattered on the walls, crying kid *raises hand*. Anyway, by the time I got home, the bread was somewhat soggy probably from all the steam, making it useless as a base. I ate it deconstructed style so basically just had 3 giant meatballs for lunch. Overall, kinda pricey for 3 giants meatballs and chips. Glad a crossed it off my list but I will be sticking with other balls. read more

Absolute amazing experience here! Came for a friend's birthday dinner and the server went above and beyond! We ordered a bottle of Prosecco and although we had finished our bottle, he came around several times to pour some extra for us and eventually even came by with champagne! He was super friendly and welcoming. Really made the experience. Food here is also awesome! We got the brussel sprouts to share--very well cooked and not bitter at all. We also shared the shrimp ceviche--this was okay, nothing special to note. But the star of the show was the steak I got. It was hearty and delicious. I loved that it came with a spicy mix of chilis on top--it really pulled it together. Only downside it was slightly too chewy, but flavor was on point. In terms of seating, it seems to be limited so just FYI. 4.5/5 stars. Would come again! read more

We happened into this little spot while seeking breakfast on a Sunday in the college ave area of Oakland. I was first attracted to the sound of salsa music pouring out the front door of this little spot. The menu seemed mall and limited but full of quality choices. After getting a glimpse of what I saw coming out from the small open air kitchen., I knew I would have to try the food. We ended up ordering the pastrami, poached, egg, hash, and the chicken mole enchiladas. Both were amazing. I also tried a half poached egg and bacon salad and was also very impressed. each poached egg was cooked perfectly. If you want to be impressed by the quality of food coming from a tiny but skilled kitchen, give Southie a try. Oh and.... The service was amazing. read more

This is a local favorite. The sandwiches we had here were just amazing. We tried the ahi tuna, meatball and Cuban. All three were really yummy. The ahi tuna had slight fish taste/smell , but it was still delicious. My favorite was the meatball sandwich, very moist and flavorful meatballs. The bread was so fresh too. It's very small shop so takeout worked out perfectly for us. Service was fast and friendly. Parking was bit tricky as we had to look for street parking. Enjoy! Recommend!! read more

We were in the area post IKEA shopping and found a great little sandwich/breakfast shop. The staff was very pleasant and accommodating of special requests. The place is small but cozy. I had the Italian sub and it was perfect. My husband had the pork belly sandwich and said it was amazing. He was done before I even finished 1/2. Would suggest to anyone in the Piedmont/Rockridge area. read more

Everything I tried so far on their dinner menu has been delicious and made with good ingredients. The chef, Javier created a menu with dishes that all seem to have a good flavor profile and harmonious mix. After speaking to the waitress, I discovered this restaurant is a sister restaurant to Wood Tavern (another fantastic restaurant), or at least currently owned by the same person. What I ordered: the liver pate crostini, the grilled persimmon and buratta crostini, and the seared ahi tuna salad. Liver pate had a mousse pate texture and the brandied cherries on top rounded out the flavor and texture nicely. The grilled persimmon and burrata cheese crostini was delicious! It also included chiffonade basil slivers, chopped pistachio nuts, pomegranate seeds, and frise salad on top - which gave it a really fantastic mix of flavors and textures in every bite. The seared ahi tuna salad was also exceptionally good, with multilayered flavors mixed together in a very complimentary way. It had grilled fennel, thin slices of garlic cloves, avocado, corn, green beans, pickled sweet peppers, perfectly seared ahi tuna slices on a bed of mixed greens - all tossed in a savory calabrian chile vinaigrette. Prices are on par with the type of venue this is for the dishes they serve, and the portion sizes are robust. Wish I had room for more, to try some other menu items! Will definitely be back the next time I am in the neighborhood. read more

Came on a busy Saturday lunch, took a corner seat at the bar closest to the cashier and ordered an iconic meatball sandwich. The place was abuzz with warm conversation between patrons of all walks. Chef Max should be proud; his family recipie is faithfully executed by management team Jose and owner Rich, and continues to feed countless satisfied customers--myself included. I asked for an extra side of marinade so I could enjoy the saucy goodness in every bite, but the meatballs stand on their own as juicy, perfectly-seasoned marvels. Even the bread was satisfying. As a sandwich lover, this was a home run. Great, authentic flavors of home for a reasonable price. A good eat for lunch, and I hear the breakfast burrito is an excellent choice for breakfast. Staff was friendly, accessible and caring. Look forward to returning again. read more

Southie - Southie Meatball Sandwich with Kettle Chips - Sandwiches Near Me - Oakland, California

I came here for dinner with my boyfriend on a Saturday evening ~6:30PM and we were seated right away. I've always walked by this place and today we gave it a try! The inside is a bit small with some bar and table seating available. Most of the tables are 2 seaters. From almost every seat in the restaurant you can see the chefs making the food and I really enjoyed that. The service throughout was very friendly and attentive. To start, we had the rock cod ceviche. The ceviche is served on top of a tostada and in one order there are 2 tostadas. Overall, I thought that the rock cod was a bit chewy but it tasted good. The taste of the fish was balanced out by the freshness of the vegetables. For my entree I had the flat iron steak. The steak itself was cooked very well and I enjoyed the chimichurri sauce with it. However, that is where my praise for the dish ends. I was left confused by the rest of the dish because of the excessive amount of oil on the plate. There was olive oil on the arugula salad, the potatoes were tossed with some butter sauce, and the cauliflower puree was swimming in oil. The food looked like an island surrounded by oil. The texture of the cauliflower puree was good but the taste of it couldn't really shine because of the oil. My boyfriend had the balls and polenta. I tried his entree and I liked how the meatballs tasted. They were moist and went well with the sauce. The polenta was standard polenta, nothing to phone home about. For dessert, we shared a plum ricotta cake. The plum flavor didn't come through as much as I would've liked. The ricotta topping with the crumble was good. The cake itself was a little dry. Overall, the service was very nice and the food was ok. There were some elements of each dish that were good but as a whole each dish fell a little flat. read more

Definitely one of the more gourmet sandwich options available in Oakland (price point reflects that), but Southie's food meets these lofty expectations. With a beautiful bay window open to the street and ample tables reaching into the back of the restaurant, Southie is a wonderfully inviting spot with a seasonally rotating menu. We ordered our two sandwiches to go and waited around 20 minutes for our food. Spicy Hog - pork was juicy and flavorful with a spice level that was just tolerable (we had no water in the car) and finished well with the lime aioli. Fennel Seared Ahi Tuna Banh Mi - originally had my doubts because I am sort of a banh mi purist, but the server convinced me to try it out. I've never been much of a hard boiled egg guy mostly because of the dry and pasty feeling of the yolks, but this sandwich changed my mind. The sauce melded the taste and texture of the tuna and egg together in a way I don't think I ever considered possible, creating this unbelievably umami profile that avoided the typical soy sauce-associated mistake of being far too salty. Paired the freshness from the vegetables, Southie's ahi banh mi just might have entered my sandwich HOF. Definitely make the trip! read more

The meatballs in the sub were lukewarm which was disappointing. The service was also mid but I would give this place another try.

My wife and I loved Southie. The food was phenomenal and service was great. We found this place thanks to Yelp. The reviews and photos did not steer us wrong. We were looking for a good lunch spot in the Rockridge / North Oakland area and this place turned out to be perfect. I recommend it. Southie opened in January 2011. It's owned and run by the same folks who own Wood Tavern next door. The name of the restaurant, "Southie," is a reference to South Boston (I remember it from The Departed). The business doesn't describe its cuisine in any particular way. The internet consensus is "East Coast" and "sandwiches." My visit here was complete when a customer with a strong Boston accent struck up a conversation with me before we left. My wife and I visited around 12:30pm on an ordinary Tuesday. This is a small place and it was mostly full when we arrived. The only seating options for us were the two-top in the back and two seats, which had just opened up, at the four-seat window counter. We chose the latter. At lunchtime, it was bustling. Southie has an open kitchen with a wraparound bar that can seat 8, maybe 10. I counted five two-tops against the wall and a small table in the back, so I guesstimate the dining room and bar can seat about 27 people total. It's cozy. I don't recommend this place for groups. If dining in, the setup is best for parties of one or two. The atmosphere is casual. We ended up speaking with the couple sitting next to us at the storefront window. If you're not familiar with the neighborhood (Rockridge), Southie is situated on College Avenue, a street that's lined with restaurants, cafes, bakeries, markets, and boutique shops. We enjoyed people-watching while eating, looking out onto the busy sidewalks and street. Southie serves breakfast from 9am-1pm, Tuesday-Sunday. They serve lunch, Tuesday-Sunday and dinner, Tuesday-Saturday. There's no dinner on Sunday and they're closed all day on Monday. We ordered off the lunch menu which had eight lunch dishes ($12-18 each), eight sandwiches ($15-23 each), and two desserts ($8 and $12). The lunch dishes were things like soups, salads, and wings. Think comfort food. Here's what we had: Southie Lunchables: * Creamy Mushroom Soup ($12) - creme fraiche, chives * Steamed P.E.I. Mussels ($18) - chorizo, Fresno chile, leeks, fennel, basil, shellfish broth, toasties * Wild Arugula Salad ($13) - persimmon, pomegranate seeds, pistachios, fennel, Grana Padano, lemon-pistachio vinaigrette Sandwiches: * Spicy Hog sandwich ($16) - pulled pork, Southie slaw, pickled jalapeno, lime aioli, Acme bun Everything was outstanding. All around, excellent flavor and fresh, terrific-quality ingredients. I love cream of mushroom soup and the "Creamy Mushroom Soup" was Southie's take on it. It was indeed creamy and really comforting, packed with umami. When it comes to classic cream of mushroom soup, I don't think it gets much better than this. The Steamed P.E.I. Mussels were fantastic, among the best we've had anywhere (and we've had a lot of mussels in this style). All aspects of this dish were superb, from the quality of the mussels to the perfectly toasted slices of baguette. The tasty broth wasn't too heavy, which I appreciated. The Wild Arugula Salad tasted garden-fresh and the portion size was generous. The salad components were well-balanced. My favorite parts were the silky, sweet, and ripe persimmon and the delicate, finely-shaved Grana Padano cheese; buttery and mildly salty. The Spicy Hog sandwich was delectable. Just a very satisfying, well-made sandwich. It was sizable with a good amount of tender, moist, and flavorful pulled pork, fresh, clean-tasting green slaw, and a subtly tangy aioli which tied it all together. The Acme bun was appetizingly soft and suited the sandwich well. Even the side of potato chips, not mentioned on the menu, was great. I want to say they were housemade, but I don't recall. Regardless, they reminded me of Cape Cod chips because they were extra crunchy and not too greasy. The hostess was also our server. She was friendly and did a nice job. While sitting at the window, we noticed the manager made several trips between Southie and Wood Tavern next door. read more

If you're a breakfast burrito fan, Southie serves one of the best I've ever had--anywhere. I've eaten great burritos across the Bay and in L.A., and this one easily ranks at the top. It's perfectly constructed: ripe avocado, fluffy scrambled eggs, cheese, chorizo, and an onion-pasilla pepper relish, all wrapped in a warm, soft tortilla. The flavors are bold and balanced, and it's finished with a smoky chipotle aioli that adds just the right amount of kick. One of the things I love most is that it doesn't include potatoes--just pure flavor, no filler. I keep coming back for this burrito, and it never misses. If you're anywhere near College Ave, it's more than worth the stop. read more

We came here in a rush and ordered mussels and a salad. The mussels had one mussel that didn't open, so they canceled the order. They asked if we wanted anything else but since we were short on time we said 'no'. How surprised we were when our entire order including ahi tuna and coffee was comped! They just did it to be kind. We didn't even have cash for tip but they were still so nice to us. I appreciate that they're looking out for their customer's health and we will back for those delicious mussels! read more

Soups, Salads, Sandwich Galore! The best salad I have ever had is from Southie. The truffle bacon and egg salad is something I crave daily. Definitely a local gem. Chef Javier is attentive and extremely hospitable. He created a decadent crab roll which was well priced for the amount of fresh crab in it. This place is small and fairly busy. My handball team and I enjoy sitting at the bar and don't mind the seats at all. The bar is the best place to be seated because you get to watch the talents of the chefs. read more

This review is so overdue. We would give Southie 10 stars if we could. Southie is an incredible little jewel-box of a restaurant, with simply outstanding food, delicious wine, impeccable service by everyone (especially the amazing Rich who anticipates every need and goes above and beyond every single time!!!), and a charming, fun, hip atmosphere. Eat at the counter - it is so entertaining to watch the chef(s) create all the wonderful, 10-star dishes on demand on 3 tiny portable cooktops! We adore Wood Tavern and The Wolf (same owners), both of which offer upscale fine dining - but for us Southie is the favorite. It's so fun and comfortable to dine here - Rich and his staff have created the perfect casual but elevated dining experience. read more

I came here on a Sunday morning to try their brunch menu. Service: Kind and patient staff. The staff told us what was popular. He informed me and my friend that we can cut the sandwiches in half to share. That was exactly what I wanted to do, so I am glad they offered to cut it and separate each sandwich onto 2 plates! Food: I tried The Balls and it was WOW! That was absolutely delicious! The meatballs were soft, juicy and flavorful! The cheese and sauce tasted phenomenal! I loved the soft and crunchy baguette! We also got the Southie Breakfast Burrito. This burrito tasted good. I love the items wrapped inside but it was too spicy for me. 10/10 recommend! I am definitely coming back for The Balls and I am going to try the Poached Eggs and Pastrami Hash! read more

As I sit here on this gorgeous Saturday evening at my dearest Southie, I'm filled with so much gratitude. There are some places that you try that you may love, but for whatever reason, you may not make it back there anytime soon. Hell, you may not EVER make it back. That's just how life goes. BUT... Southie isn't one of those places for me. Every time I come here, I always leave so amazed. Amazed by the food, amazed by the serviced, and just simply amazed by how they run this place. It's a tiny spot and their sister restaurant is a hell of a lot more popular. However, this here Southie is just straight golden. Every dish that comes out of that kitchen makes my mouth water. The smells that emanate throughout this place are mesmerizing. It's intimate, it's chill, it's everything that a local restaurant should be. And I love it. I love Southie to death. Thank GAWD that they didn't fold during the pandemic. I love me some Wood Tavern, but there is absolutely nothing like my Southie, bay-beh! They have a limited menu which they often rotate that features the most superb dishes. Always perfectly executed and always delicious whether you're coming for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I could sit here and gloat about my favorite dishes in rotation (crostinis, balls & polenta, meatball sandwich, chicken salad, etc). But, y'all can read about those specifics in my prior reviews (or in recent reviews of other yelpers' experiences). I'm just here to simply update my old review from 5 years ago and to let YOU know that it's still just as good as it was back then. Such an amazing spot for all things food and ambience. One of my old faithful and dependable locals. Thank you, Southie, for continuing to serve up the most amazing food and service. I will love you 'til the day I die. read more

Really enjoyed our breakfast we had here. The service was incredible. Even though it's a smaller places they didn't crowd you, but we're ready when needed.

Cute place, we live in the neighborhood. Service was so warm and friendly. Fig and burrata crostini was delicious, and the shrimp sandwich was sooooo good. Ceviche tostada was pretty giant despite being in the "small bites" section- it was fresh but not as good as the shrimp sandwich. Buffalo wings were good flavor but not fried so fyi they are healthier but not as tasty as you'd expect Overall really enjoyed the visit! read more

It's a casual small local cafe with limited seating around the cafe and bar. Has good sandwiches but breakfast items are very limited despite it's brunch vibe! This is just based on our experience: Cafe latte was cold, we literally saw when made and took like 5 min to pick up and deliver. This just made the service very slow. Chau's are very uncomfortable more of high bar stool type to just accommodate small area and perhaps made customers leave ASAP! Again, fair under more of a bar type cafe! Food was just OK nothing to highlight but sandwiches looked delicious. Not sure if try this place again though. No kids friendly. read more

A friend and I grabbed a late lunch here (it was surprisingly tough finding a spot that was open on a Tuesday!). My friend has a gluten allergy and the staff kindly accommodated it by turning the tuna sandwich into a salad that looked amazing. I had a tough time ordering, and was very pleased with the Spicy Hog. It had great flavor and a nice balance with the slaw and the jalapeños. Service was great and friendly. The bar seating had nice under-table hooks. I had a small yearning for fries, but the potato chips were tasty. I would come here again...granted, I'm sure it will still be tough for me to choose what to order! read more
