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

Found this lunch stop on Yelp, and glad we did! Filled our tanks with delicious Louisiana fare before we headed home. Companion had the roast beef poboy (14) and I had the seafood basket (19) fried oysters and catfish with battered fries and cole slaw. Hot and good! -- Just what we were in the mood for. Service was prompt and with a smile. Busy but no wait to be seated. Masks & social distancing. read more

Stopped on the way to Gulfport as it had a solid yelp rating. It didn't disappoint. Decided to stop again on way back, and last night proved first night was underrated. Had the pork chop - wow, just simply wow. This was an amazing dish - possibly the the best pork chop I have ever had. The French onion soup- a perfect complement and Mac and cheese because our server Taylor Rose said it wouldn't disappoint- and she was right. Was too full for the bread pudding- Taylor told us it could be made to go and we really wouldn't want to miss it (they were out the first time). And my only regret was not getting two desserts to go as the bread pudding had perfect flavor and consistency - clearly everyone should always save room. A perfect meal - great service - thank you Taylor, great food, we have a new stop when traveling east and west on I10. 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

Over-rated big time. The food is greasy, typical diner fare. Their menu is huge, which is perhaps their primary claim to fame. But they are master of no dish - everything looked half-assed, and blah. You'll find better food at Burger King at 1/4the the price. Our table service was average at best, though I know others must have gotten better or worse service than us. We got not a single water refill and nothing that we didn't have to flag down and ask for. My suggestion: look elsewhere for your dining. 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.

This is by far my favorite restaurant in Slidell and has been for ages. Everything I've ever had here was delicious! The fried mushrooms with honey mustard is my favorite. Hands down the best honey mustard on the planet! My hubby is insanely picky but he's also a retired Marine so he loves going here. The staff is always friendly and helpful. read more

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

Finally got to try this place the other night. It was Saturday and it was packed! I had tried eating here before, but didn't stick around for the wait until tonight. it seems they are always busy. We had just a bit of a wait. I thought it was cool that they use the Yelp app for their waiting list. I had not seen that before. I guess it was 10 or 15 minutes before we got a table. Not bad. It was game night so the place was LOUD! I mean LOUD! I ordered the chicken fried steak and it was pretty good. We had friend mushrooms for the app. They give you a LOT and they were super good. I forgot the name of our server, but he was sure working his butt off. He did a great job and kept us up on drinks and whatever else we needed. I like the atmosphere. They have a big bar and a lot of tables. This definitely seems to be one of THE places to go to in town. Friendly staff as well as other customers. I'll be back. read more

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

this is our local go to Resturant which is always good and consistent. the food selection, quality and quantity is always good and satisfying to everyone. Service is normally on spot. It can get really loud if they are busy especially in the front room when the AC kicks on. we always recommend this establishment to our family and friends coming to town read more

We met some friends here on a Tuesday night. We had a group of 13, and the staff was quick to get our table together. Our server, Gabby, was very friendly, attentive, refilled our drinks, got all our orders straight, and we all had separate checks without any issues! I got the Ruben. It was really good! The corned beef was tender. My mother got the Tuesday special; at the time, it was spaghetti with two large meatballs. The sauce smelled so good. I tasted the meat balls, and now I know I need to come back on a Tuesday! Everyone really enjoyed their food and the atmosphere. The walls are decorated with military memorabilia, and I love the photos of the service men and women. The restaurant was clean and the prices were good. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

Some of the best food I've tasted. Seasoned well. Staff real friendly. Some friends and I went after work for drinks. We had the best time. Good place to eat read more

Came here for the first time after reading the great reviews. Was a bit of a wait, which was understandable since it was dinnertime. After having perused the menu, I decided on the country fried steak with white gravy and mashed potatoes as well as the French onion soup. The soup must be an acquired taste because it tasted more like onions bathed in Worcestershire sauce with a bit of beef broth. I've never had sesame seed bread in my soup which was interesting. The cheese on top was good, though. When the main entree arrived, the white gravy was tan in color. Had a bit of a sweet aftertaste, which was odd. The steak itself tasted processed which turned me off my dinner after three bites. The mashed potatoes had too much garlic powder for my taste. The atmosphere itself was pleasant and the server was attentive for a busy restaurant. Not sure if I'll be returning. read more

1st visit my wife and I went with her cousin and her husband, this would be the 1st time for all of us. The Food, Service, waiter and Atmosphere was fantastic. We decided to go again but this time we brought our 2 Children and their Spouse's and a friend. We all order appetizers and drinks and our entrees. I ordered a Seafood Plate that came with fried Fish, Oysters and Shrimp and 2 sides. When our meals came out mine was GIGANTIC !! I told our waitress and she said that it was a Seafood Platter for TWO ! I said I only ordered a Seafood plate for ME. She said they only had ONE Seafood Platter and that it was for TWO people. Well I said it's only for "ONE" me ! and that I wanted to Seafood plate with the fish, Oysters and Shrimp. Long story short , I kept it rather than RUIN our dinner. This MUST have been an inexperienced new waitress because I would think that an EXPERIENCED Waitress would have warned a elderly 68yr old that, that was PLENTY BIG and alot of food for one !! But she never !!! Other than a careless waitress everything was Greatttt ! Delicious !! And our Waitress was ok, except for the misunderstanding. Wasted food and money because I could never eat a Platter meant for TWO. B E W A R E !!! $10.00 CHARGE to pay with my Credit Card !!! I didn't see any notification of that !! I a Society that is going Plastic that extra cost is concerning. I Treated all seven of our party, and I would think not many people, certainly not me carry that much cash ! read more

I had a cup of seafood gumbo, chili cheese fries, and a patty melt. Everything was good I can't complain!

Can't go wrong here. But, come early on Monday's if you want the red beans. Also, if they say the soft shells maybe large, in which case they'll only bring you one, expect one not so big crab. read more

Bro I literally fucked this shit up within a span of like 2 minutes it was so good. Yall get the chicken po boy trust
