Great quick getaway from the big city. Perfect to watch games on Sunday and eat lots of food. Turkey burger was ok. I really liked the family environment. Slidell is farther than we expected but worth it. The girls had a great time. read more

Food is good. I don't love the seafood.. It could be seasoned more. But I do love the Phil Steak and Killer fries... OMG. So good. I also love Steak Night.. read more

First time visit. Outstanding menu. I had the stuffed mushrooms along with the pork rib eye dinner. My wife had the French onion soup along with the blt. The soup was the best outside of Montreal, Canada. Highly recommend if you are within an hours drive. We will definitely come back. read more

This is the second time I have eaten here. The first time I had the fried seafood platter, which was excellent. This trip I opted for the soft shell crab platter which comes with two sides. I opted for the Mac and cheese as my first side, and a cup of chicken and sausage gumbo for my second. I also ordered the fried onion rings for an appetizer. The onion rings were seasoned well and batter fried to perfection. They were thin cut but delicious. No disappointments there. The soft shell crab platter was good also. My only gripe is the gumbo could use a tad more seasoning. But all in all the meal was great. I went in a very busy Saturday night but the wait was not long. The place was a bit noisy but it's to be expected. The service was great even for a crowded and busy venue. All in all I enjoyed my dining experience and I definitely recommend eating here. read more

Wow! We wanted a burger place and this place was awesome. One in our party commented that their burger was the best hamburger (brisket) they ever had, Perfectly cooked. Wednesday night is $4.00 appetizer night. I ordered the spinach & artichoke dip. Thought I would get a smaller portion for the price, but it was the full size & it was THE BEST I've ever had. I would like to wrap this place up and take it home with me, YUM!! And Joe was an awesome waiter. read more

Southside Cafe - Tossed Salad was great !!! - American Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

Always a great experience when stopping in. The atmosphere and food is great. I highly recommend them to everyone especially my fellow veterans who are in or traveling through the area. read more

We found this place on yelp and thought we would try it out. Very good Red Beans and Rice. Lots of food and flavor. Our waiter Kai was great. So friendly and knowledgeable. My husband was happy to find out that the owner is a former Marine like himself. He ordered the Roast Beef Debris Fries and the Big Mo Jama Sandwich that was huge and must have been really good because he ate all of it. They offer a discount to check in on yelp and didn't give us any problems using it. We will eat here again on our next stop home. read more

Always great. Elevated bar food. Sandwiches and Burgers. Seafood and veteran owned. Don't miss it.

Always great food and service . Just loud to dine in . Half price appetizers are great ! And skinny string onion rings are the best

We had a group of 8 and stopped in on a Sunday afternoon. The food was about what you'd expect from a roadside diner, but not great. Half of our group's food arrived 15 minutes before the other people's food, so the first half of the group was done eating before the second half got their food. The table next to us laughed loudly about a large party they had thrown with over 100 people where several of the guests tested positive for COVID. None of the employees or patrons wore masks and the restaurant displayed a giant "Don't Tread on Me" flag. Tell me you're a racist without telling me you're a racist. That flag was designed by Christopher Gadsden, a slave trader, and has become a historical indicator of white resentment against blacks. Gross. read more

Went there for Steak night. No longer serve baked potatoes or mushrooms with their Steak Special very little drippings. Also has a different flavor profile than they had previously. You would think they would stay with what made steak night special. The price is quite a bit higher, but not a concern if all was as good as it was last year. Will not be going back for the "Steaks" Carmine read more

We were recommended to this place by a lady at the tour we were on unbelievable catfish incredible food good service restaurant was a little loud but we really enjoyed ourselves only knock I have his coleslaw was not the greatest but everything else is slamming and they have some kind of sauce mayonnaise dill horseradish slammin. Definitely a place you want to go read more

My waiter had to nerve to tell me nothing was wrong with my sandwich, that the "owner made it himself" when I literally get the same thing every time I go. Wasn't even trying to argue with the guy I just said my sandwich tasted a bit off from usual. Haven't been back since although their food usually comes out great. read more

Terrible tasting food and just too expensive for dinner even just for two and we do well financially. Over priced not well cooked food.

On a last minute whim we traveled to Slidell and then Yelped for a restaurant. This one was very easy to find and had great reviews. As always, the reviews did not steer us wrong! We were warmly greeted and, luckily, seated at the last table available. (This spot is obviously a local's favorite and became quite busy before we finished our lunch). Our waitress, Nickole, was awesome! We ordered the fried mushrooms with remoulade sauce (fried wonderfully and the sauce has just enough heat to it!). Husband's French onion soup was very good but a few too many onions for his taste. He chose the muffuletta (1/2 order was HUGE). The olive salad was great albeit heavy on the oil. I ordered the Irish gumbo, two styles served with a wall of potato salad in between. I preferred the chicken & sausage gumbo over the seafood gumbo. But both were delicious and the potato salad was tasty. Really enjoyed our lunch here. read more

Best restaurant In Slidell. Great food, great service, and awesome food. Also, perfect place to just hang out with friends.

The food is always great here! I ordered take out today and the softshell crabs were so small they should have been thrown back. Good thing it came with 2 sides or I would still be hungry. What a disappointment for the price. read more

Really enjoyed this place, very busy when we went but that didn't slow the service at all got our drinks be food in a reasonable amount of time. I had the yellowfin tuna grilled with the salad and sweet potato fries, I thought it was a lot of food for the price and delicious as well. Great atmosphere, as someone who deals a lot with the military and the marines, I thought all the marine decor was awesome. A must visit in slidell for sure. read more

Southside Cafe - Yellowfin tuna with sweet potato fries - American Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

I guess they figured since we ordered to go they could just reheat the fries and not give us fresh fries. Since they wouldn't have to face us eating the rubber fries. And no it wasn't because they sat in the box we live right around the corner. They were like chewy rubber. We even tipped a good amount because we believe in supporting restaurants during these times but we don't go in we order to go. Kind of messed up. Won't be going back. Thanks for bad dinner. Don't have a lot of extra money to be spending. Glad I wasted it here. read more

The first night we were in town we ate here the food was amazing and service was great! We were a party of 7 and they got us right in. First time having tuna and it didnt disappoint! We came back on our last night in slidell and they were very busy we had to wait about 45 minutes to be seated no big deal... our server seemed to be overwhelmed, food was burnt and meals didnt come out at the same time so some of us were finished with our food before others even got their food.. but the manager was awesome came to apologize offered us free desserts and even took some items off our ticket. Great place to eat! read more

One of my favorite places to go in slidell and a must when I have company come to town. The best muffelatta north of central! Haven't found a bad thing on the menu!! read more

I'v been twice, and I'm just not getting why people love this place so much. It may be the ambience; I love the whole bar in the middle of the restaurant and maybe I would have been better served to sit there and eat. I have been completely underwhelmed with the food. I just don't get why people are raving about this food. It's mediocre at best. read more

It was just Ok, we went for brunch with two kids, but they didn't have a kids menu The fried oysters, were good and they offered enormous portions, but overall it was underwhelming. It has a bar and a quieter back area, but it seemed as if the front room was attended by more staff. Slidell has very few breakfast places, that impress me. Even the higher end places, like Coplands, isn't worth it. Palmettos, though pricy, is really one of the best places to eat brunch or dinner, in Slidell. Sigh... read more

A great place, atmosphere, very friendly staff, get this including an amazing British waitress...

Good food beer always cold bartenders and waitstaff are really good and the Big MoJamma is the bomb my go to place. Big Mo Jamma

The food is always great. The service was slow this time but normally is really good. The best restaurant in Slidell in my opinion.

The hot wings was really good an the house salad with homemade ranch .. we didn't like the gumbo or chicken fried steak .. very tasteless

After a swamp boat tour, the husband and I wanted a nearby, non-fancy lunch. The husband got some wings and the gumbo, and I got a French dip sandwich and onion strings. Everything was hot and fresh, and perfectly represented what it was listed as on the menu. Service was decent, though it dropped off a bit towards the end of the meal when more tables were seated around us. My only real issue is that, when I showed the Yelp coupon on my phone to the server, she actually TOOK my phone with the check to ring it up. I don't know about you, but relinquishing my phone to a stranger felt...wrong. Surely there's a better way to handle these coupons. However, this was a pleasant, serviceable lunch stop, and I would return here again. read more

Love this place. Awesome food, great atmosphere, consistent. I have loved everything I have ever gotten there.

Food is excellent for a hole in the wall but people need to be aware of any sandwich ordered with beef is 2$ more the server told us about the upcharge on rueben sandwich which we accepted but failed to let us know about the extra charge on big mo jamma other than that I'd come here again just need to let the public know about the price changes!! Being they said beef is high right now also something we weren't aware of. read more

I went with my girlfriend today for the first time. The food was fantastic. We split the spinach dip and the seafood platter. The portions are amazing! I love the WWII artifacts and memorials that adorn the walls. We will return and I would like to give a shout-out to Matt for his very friendly service. We felt very welcomed. read more

One of my favorite places to visit when I'm back home. Best roast beef po-boys around!

What can you say about Southside. Home. The food, the staff, the respect and humor that went into the military atmosphere. My family has eaten here for 20 years and will for another 20. Thanks for doing what you do. read more

Seated quickly and server was right along to get drink order. The menu is extensive and everything looked great. Settled on the muffuletta sandwich, which was incredible. Food came out in timely manner and server was attentive. read more

I love this place. I eat there whenever I am in Slidell. It is a combination of serious food, a professional wait staff, and a fun atmosphere. They actually have a wait list for lunch. You can join the list from the yelp app. I actually love to try different places but I won't doing so in Slidell. read more
