Seated immediately. Service was terrific. Very nice variety to select from. I love the French Onion soup & Vegetable Beef soup. The burgers, seafood, & salads are wonderful. Highly recommended. read more

We stopped on our way home from a Saints game (anniversary trip). The set up is nice. It has a big bar in the middle and plenty of seating. We put our name on the waiting list by way of the yelp app and our table was ready when we arrived. I always try gumbo when it is available and I will say, this was excellent. It left subtle tingle in the back of my throat and the flavor was amazing! We ordered mozzarella sticks and they came with a tasty marinara. These aren't just fried string cheese. They melt in your mouth and are a nice size. 6 came in an order and the two of us had two left to take home to our son. I ordered the hot roast beef poboy with a side of sweet potato fries and my husband had the French dip with potato salad. The hot roast beef was so messy. I enjoyed every last bite, but was happy when it was over lol. It was delicious. My sweet potato fries didn't come when my poboy did, so I got them towards the end of my meal. When they did arrive, they were so soft and melt in your mouth. My husband's French dip was also good. The shredded ribeye was so flavorful and had just a hint of spice. His potato salad also arrived late and he wasn't as impressed with it as he was the rest of the meal. Service was excellent and the meal was great! We will certainly be stopping by next year on our return from the next Saints game ;) read more

We ate regulars here. They are now surcharging for credit cards which is their prerogative but the minimum tip on their table side machine is 25%. That's of the surcharge amount, yes there is a other amount but you have to calculate the dollar amount which I did for the base ticket amount. Rip off. read more

We were on a long RV vacation and were in Pensacola several days following the coastline West back towards Texas. In lieu of NOLA we opted for Slidell. South side was recommended and even though it was a hike for us we went - and were blown away! Awesome menu that was well priced. It was so good we went back while we were there. read more

We wanted one last lunch in New Orleans before we left but didn't want to deal with getting downtown so off to the suburb of Slidell we went! A quick yelp search, thanks fellow yelpers brought this restaurant to my attention. The food was excellent! Prices were very fair and service was fantastic! This is definitely a local favorite, was Getting crowded quite early! read more

The ambiance is great. Service is even better. Southside is one of my favorite restaurants in Slidell. The kids meals are priced well and my daughter loves the options. The chicken strips are some of the best I've had. They're fresh and made in house. Fantastic flavor, always juicy. Same with their fried chicken. You can't go wrong. Macaroni cheese is soooooo good when you get the right scoop. We order it every time, but it's a real gamble because it is the one item we order that is inconsistent. Some nights it is perfection with the creamiest cheese sauce, others it's noodles with shredded cheese on top and needs doctoring at home (we order take out 1-2 nights a week). We love the cheese sticks. I continue to be shocked by the quality & quantity vs price. Turkey burgers are so flavorful and not at all dry. They're a definite favorite. I love the grilled chicken sandwiches, especially on burger night. I love that they include the chicken as an option. Dressed with bacon and Swiss is my go-to. I've described the flavor of their Hushpuppies as a party in your mouth. They are, imo, the best Hushpuppies around. Their roast beef debris tastes like my mama made it. It's delicious on Mac and cheese. You won't be disappointed. Well, unless it's an off night with the m&c. I love pretty much all the appetizers, especially since they're made in house. Pass on sandwiches that include ham (ie chicken cordon blue), unless you like sweet meat (no thanks). Their remoulade sauce is sooooo good. For dessert I recommend the bread pudding with whiskey sauce. It's a fav. We were not a fan of the cobblers as they are on the bland side, but it might just be what a cobbler is. ‍ I love the Rueben and will vouch for it. I was going to give 4 stars because of our 50/50 luck with macaroni and cheese orders, but I'm going to give 5 and go place an order. I can't wait to try more items off their menu. read more

The reason I love Yelp is finding great places to eat while traveling. We stopped at Southside Cafe on the way home from a New Orleans mardi gras trip. I ordered the crawfish balls to start then a burger/fries. The crawfish balls were good. There were four in the basket and they were enough to fill me up. I also tried the eggplant and that was wonderful. Another person ordered the patty melt and commented that was the patty melt she's waited all her life for.... I left with a full belly and a good nap for the road. read more

Since it was raining and our last night we had to get some Gumbo and some Po Boy sandwiches. We got the cup gumbo ( chicken and shrimp) and the shrimp po boy and the alligator po boy as well. The sandwiches were good and the gumbo was good as well. Will we go back? Maybe! read more

We were on a trip going through Louisiana, we got the Regular and the seafood gumbo, i liked the regular gumbo. The seafood one tasted like dirty fish water! I've never had gumbo and was super excited to try it for the first time, but my expectations were not met. Service was ok, the lady that made our order was super nice but the other two weren't the greatest. The ambiance was great! They had marine decor everywhere and the whole town supported the marines, so that touched my heart! read more

Huge menu. Something for everyone. I haven't had anything I didn't like. Usually, you will have to wait for seating. Budget up to 20 minutes if the place is busy. The wait is worth it! When I pass by & see a half empty parking lot, I pull in & sit at the bar. read more

Great service even better food worth the wait on the weekends. We have really enjoyed the experience every time we have went

It was my first time here the food was really good the staff was nice .I was seated pretty quickly,but the reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the food does take a bit to come out, even if it's appetizers. I feel it was worth the wait next time. I know just to be patient and order more alcohol beverages... read more

1/6/20 came here thanks to yelp and all the great reviews and raves about this spot. It definitely didn't disappoint, I wasn't sure what to order as so many things looked delicious on the menu. Finally I ordered the Irish channel gumbo and it was soo good! I'm usually not a fan of food that looks like it could be served to prisoners but this was well worth it. I also had the bread pudding and that hit the nail on the head. So tasty, so moist, oohey goowey yumminess. My server was super busy but attentive and I appreciated her suggestions. Overall, a great place and delicious food with a fun atmosphere. Will most definitely return if ever in the area. read more

The Pick up area for picking up your food is in a bad area. You have to stand behind seated customers. Than you have to stand their until you get acknowledge. I purchase a shrimp and oyster po boy. The sandwich tasted horrible the grease was dirty. The sandwich was 8inches long. The oysters was burnt and greasy the shrimp was greasy and tasteless. The cost of this nasty baby Po boy was $19.56. The gas stations po boy taste better than this Garbage see pics read more

I don't normally eat in Slidell but I am glad I did. This place has super fun decor and some military tributed walls with memorabilia. I came here for a late lunch on a Saturday and it was pretty packed for an odd time. I heard that this place is a party central at night as well. I ordered the fried seafood and everything was spectacular from the service to the food. My favorite was the french onion soup. I keep thinking about that broth. I know it is an unusual thing to order at a seafood place, but I was craving it, ordered it and now I am still craving it. That broth. There is plenty of parking outside and it is right near the new Middendorfs. If you had handicapt people with you, there is a ramp on the side of the restaurant as well. read more

The food was excellent. I had the Irish Channel gumbo and the big bowl of gumbo was perfect! The only suggestion is adding some french bread on the side. The service was good and knowledgable of the menu. And the food is cheap. Using my Yelp discount helped, but two of ate for only $22.15 including tax. The only reason for not giving a perfect 5 stars is the parking lot flooded while we were in the restaurant. It started raining after we entered the restaurant and by the time we left there were a good 6 inches of water int he parking lot. I had to walk through the water to get to the car and ruined a good pair of tennis shoes. read more

Would love to give this place more stars and probably will upgrade if all goes well next time. We had the Mixed Poorboy (Shrimp/Oysters), Fried Mushrooms Yummmmm!!! We also had the fried Chix, that's where it went wrong. Not sure how they are doing it...but how do you get the outside batter crispy and the skin limp and chewy? The meat itself seemed boiled. Only opened one of the four pieces....told our waiter about the experience when he asked. His answer was....Must have gotten a bad piece.....It's a nice atmosphere, very busy, and friendly hostesses. Poorboy was very good btw. read more

All I can say is "Wow!" There was so much food! Everything was delicious and served exactly as ordered. Since we both love fried mushrooms, we ordered them as an appetizer but soon regretted that decision when we saw the huge portions of our entrees. I'm not at all saying don't get an appetizer; just make sure you come hungry because you're about to have a feast! The atmosphere was alive and exciting. The service was outstanding and the prices were very reasonable - definitely a great value. To top it off, I received a 15% coupon for checking in here on Yelp. If we're ever back in the area, we'll definitely be back! read more

We were back again. This time I was able to bring my parents. When I'm in the area this is a must stop place!!! I got the shrimp po boy and onion rings. Amazing as always. The onion rings were a little spicy, not to bad but if you're someone who doesn't like any spice just be warned. Will be back next year!!! Also only got half a po boy and it took up the whole plate!!! read more

Food was good but the server wasn't. A I asked her for a recommendation and she told me she doesn't eat there. I almost got up and left. The gumbo was decent as was the catfish. Nothing to love but nothing to hate either. Price was fair. Nothing stands out as a must go to place but nothing to red flag a return either. read more
