Great service! Always packed when I go there. They have so many options to choose from! The French Dip sandwich was delicious!

Made a stop here on the way to Destin went out of the way based on the reviews and it didn't disappoint. Luckily there was no wait on Sunday night and our party of 4 got in quick. We ordered the cheese sticks, onion straws, shrimp, chicken tenders and fries and all was delicious and they were giving dads a beer for Fathers Day. We will be sure to visit again when out this way. read more

Dropped in to watch one of the Wild Card games and felt right at home, as soon as I walked in. It had the feel of the local, hometown pub - lots of people in and out, friendly and efficient staff - lots of energy in the room. Ordered the Reuben - definitely a home run. But the Onion Rings/Strings? Fantastic. They were perfectly cooked and seasoned. It came with a sauce but I thought adding anything to these little wonders would have been an insult. Don't pass these up - I don't care what diet you're on. read more

Southside Cafe - Bread "to die for" pudding!! - American Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

This has to be the most popular/busiest restaurant in Slidell as every time I have been, it's packed. Luckily, I don't think I've ever waited too long for a table. Now the name is a little bit of a misnomer because it's definitely more of a bar and grill than a "cafe". You won't be sitting with a book in a quiet corner while sipping a latte. Southside has a a huge menu! There are15 + apps, 6 soups, 5-6 salads, 20+ po-boys, 20 plus other sammiches and burgers. Hell, 6 different chicken sammiches alone! Plus they have a bunch of other entrees that include pork chops, salmon, chicken, seafood platters and more. I've eaten the burgers, grilled chicken and tuna and all have been really good. Their beer menu is basically a lot of domestics with a few micro-brews but nothing too daring. There's still a big enough of a selection to find something cold to wash down the meal. The only thing bad about Southside (if you consider it bad) is that it is loud. It's a fun place to hangout and have a beer but I don't think I'd bring a first date because you'd never hear them. You can bring your nagging wife though, so you don't have to hear her. read more

This is a little small town restaurant that fills up very quickly so if you want to go make sure you get there early the food is excellent never had a bad meal there and have had plenty on the menu the drinks are good the waitress is a good Martin stuff is awesome highly recommend this place read more

We absolutely love Southside! Great menu and service! We have made this one of our go to places especially when we have out of town guests. French Dip and Muffuletta are a couple of our favorites, but we have not ordered anything that we didn't like. read more

Fried mushrooms were fresh and delicious, huge food portions. I would recommend you getting in waitlist via website. I recommend this cafe

Beer is always cold !!Food is always great!! Service is awesome! Fun place for family and date night!

We just ordered sandwiches chicken and veal parmigiana. Oh my it was so delicious, both pieces of meat juicy, tasty, and done to perfection. Originally I'm from the S Philly area and the gravy on the meat wasn't Italian like I'm use to, but theirs complimented the sandwich! Plus adding lettuce and tomorrow made it into a super meal. Topping it off with slices of pickles. Too full to eat anymore we are taking our bread pudding to go. We will definitely be coming back! What a great waitress Sophia was. A great bubbly personality plus, and she knows how to cater to the customer. SOPHIA got thank you read more

Ok, we are on our way back home and decided to stop for lunch. I found this place and we decided to give it a try. Man, the portions are humongous! You will not leave hungry. We had the wings and the seafood platter. The wings are meaty and not over cooked. The #2 sauce has just the right amount of heat and flavor. The seafood platter has catfish, fried oysters, soft shell crab, hush puppies, fries and shrimp. It is enough for 4 people. They do a great job of frying all these items to perfection. The coleslaw is very good also. It has just the right amount of seasoning and fresh cabbage. Our server Mattie was excellent. She was very polite and eager to serve. She made sure we had everything we needed for a great dining experience. If you are on your way to New Orleans, stop here first for a great meal. read more

This has to be the most popular restaurant in Slidell. It is always packed for lunch and dinner. The food is consistently great and the bartenders are generous with the pours. My favorite time to come here is before a parade during Mardi Gras. The atmosphere is just so fun all of the time but especially during Carnival. While the food and atmosphere are great, the service is definitely hit or miss. I was here recently with a friend who ordered water without lemon and the waitress brought water WITH a lemon wedge. The same visit when the bill came it turned out to be for a different table. It was also pretty hard to get her attention when we needed something. I understand that they're usually busy, but poor service takes away from the experience. Also keep in mind that this restaurant is extremely loud. Carrying on a conversation is almost impossible without practically yelling. read more

If I owned a restaurant, I suspect it would be a lot like Southside Café. You see, I am a dude that loves good food, beer and guns. Southside somehow combines all three. The food Southside's menu is traditional American fare. We started with an order of chili cheese fries which were very good. I am normally not a fan of chili on fries, but theirs was subtle enough that it didn't overpower the dish. I could discuss the finer point of cheese fries all day, but I'll move on to my entrée. Thanks to my Yelp buddy Teneha, I went with the rib eye steak sandwich. It was very good. Most places don't offer actual steak on a sandwich unless you're getting a Philly so this version was extra special. Another plus is that they will cook it to order. If you like steak sandwiches, get this sandwich. The beer While not the most expansive list I've ever seen, Southside had a respectable selection of beers which included Guinness. The guns I think he owner is a veteran of the Vietnam War. Tributes to troops were prominently displayed as well as several very cool guns. I spotted what looked like an M1 Garand, M14, M16 and a Thompson. Anytime I can drink beer, eat good food, and stare at guns, it is a good day. If you're in the Slidell area and want a good, casual meal, I encourage you to check out Southside Café. read more

Had lunch here today and it was great ! We started off with a cup of chicken & sausage gumbo and it was good, not the best ever in my life but it was good. Then we had the Killa fries which are french fry's smothered in chili, cheddar cheese and topped with jalapeño peppers ( ranch sauce ) for dipping and a side of onion straws came with a remulade sauce. Both sides were really yummy ! Then I had the roast beef poboy fully dressed add American cheese and I had them put the debris brown gravy on the side for dipping. It was DELICIOUS !! My hubby had the muffuletta and it was super fresh and delicious as well. Our waiter was fantastic ! We will be back ! read more

My husband and I enjoy going to Southside Cafe. The food and service is always good. Not to mention the atmosphere.

Food was great I had fried shrimp and onion rings husband had roast beef and gravy with fires did not have to wait long we did the waitlist through yelp!!! read more

The food was excellent as always but unfortunately our service wasn't great. Savanna (without an H bc she wants having it) was very rude. Someone at our table asked about an item on the menu and she had an attitude and seemed annoyed that we were asking questions. I understand she's busy but the attitude was unnecessary. I was having a split decision moment and ordered the Irish Channel gumbo and a half a muffaletta and she responded and said "Do you realize how much food that is?" The judgey tone wasn't appreciated at all. Then, one of the guys at our table forgot he hadn't transferred money to his card so when it declined she came back and slid it across the table and said "this card didn't go through" in front of everyone. (Honestly she was lucky we tipped her what we did bc we are former service industry folks.) Sydney came to the rescue and provided good service when we wanted to order more drinks. She was awesome and definitely deserves to be rewarded for her good service! Thank you, Sydney! read more

Wow! Wow!Wow! On point, times one million times to infinity. Food was fried and prepared to perfection. The adult beverage ...Absolut Stress was what I needed and the service was excellent! The atmosphere was giving "hospitality at a family fish fry".... I felt at home. read more

Always a great spot to eat with professional servers and good food. The wait time is usually 10 to 15 minutes.

Great food and service. Reasonable prices. Would recommend to anyone who wants good food.

Always good. The wait is sometimes too long. That is discouraging to try if you're hungry and ready to eat, you will probably be waiting. But, it's good, and that's why there's a wait. read more

Ooooo these red beans and rice are delicious! Even better the next morning. The portion would have been enough to feed at least two people. Got the stuffed artichoke as well and that overfilled flower of a vegetable was devoured as well. Service was a little slower than I would have liked, but the ambiance was a relaxer. A lot of military related decorations, my table had the marine insignia! read more

I like this restaurant a lot. I ordered calamari, house salad and a side of Mac n cheese with roast beef debri gravy-which was amazing. That is a secret which could be an entree-you're welcome. My niece got the channel gumbo with seafood gumbo on one side of the bowl and chicken gumbo on the other side with a levy of potato salad which was was very good. Sis got fried seafood and they did a good job with that too. The only thing I didn't like was the calamari which had no seasoning but it may be because there was a mix up with the order. We loved our waitress too. Great service. read more
