Food was excellent, the ribeye especially. Tender and flavorful. The French dip was every bit as good as it looked. However the oyster shrimp po boy was not as meaty as advertised. Service was slow, servers were overwhelmed. Server came by our table three times without offering to refill our glasses. Manager was a nice guy helped us out with out discount code plus comped our appetizer we never got. 6.5/10 read more

Consistent. Fried calamari is excellent. French onion soup delicious! Build your own chicken sandwich is enough for two meals. This is a regular spot for us. In and out family of four less than an hour and less that $60 read more

The food is great but I can't say the same for the service. I go here often and have only had good service ONE time. Maybe they will eventually hire a better waitstaff. read more

This is my go-to place in Slidell when I don't feel like cooking, but cannot decide on where to go eat out. The food and drinks are pretty pretty reasonably priced, and the atmosphere is amicable and patriotic, full of USMC memorabilia and some USN/USA/USAF items as well (I'm active duty military, so it's great to see this kind of stuff). My recommended dishes here are the Fried Seafood Basket, the Classic Muffelatta, and the Big Mo Jamma Po-Boy sandwich. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Slidell area. read more

Excellent food! Had crawfish balls which were very good -good spicy sauce ;) I also had a grilled cheese and seafood gumbo; absolutely wonderful gumbo. read more

this place is great. Wonderful,friendly and lively atmosphere, good food and a great bar. They have some excellent specials like their spaghetti special on Tuesdays and their steak special on Thursdays and Saturdays. This is not the spot for a romantic evening OR if you are in need of a business conversation during peak hours. It can be noisy at times. Great place to watch the game or casual evening out. Their Ruben is the best around! read more

The soup i had was very salty. Besides being a bit expensive, the food was ok. Not sure if I'd go back, but, not a horrible choice.

Incredible. Hands down the best catfish I have ever had. The decor in this restaurant pays tribute to Veterans. Thank you, Your awesome

One of the best hangout spots in town. Friendly staff, great food, and amazing drinks!

One of the best burgers I've had! - brisket burger with jalapeño bun, fried egg,and sautéed mushrooms. And also I absolutely love how they stand behind the military. read more

I've been here twice and had the salad with grilled shrimp. It was great, and I'm sure all of there other food is just as good.

We had the Reuben and French onion soup. Both the entrees and the service were top notch. I'd recommend this place to the Commander-in-chief; yup, it was the good. read more

The food is really good, however the service is in ethnical and blatantly apparent. It truly hurts me to rank them so low but that's the level of service I have received on several visits. If you are lucky enough to get Brooke (spelling) then you may have a great experience if not be prepared to wait and be forgotten about. The customer neglect seems to be systemic to one particular demographic and it's sad to know that this culture and mind frame of thinking still exist. I've witnessed other ethnic groups come in and be treated as if this was a one "culture" only restaurant. I'm not sure if the manager knows this or they are subconsciously blind to the fact or have mandated this is the way it is but it feels so unwelcome when you eat in the restaurant. I wish the service matched the food but sadly it does not. If you go and you are of any other ethnic descent, ask for Brooke or just be safe and get it to go. I do hope that some one from Southside sees this and truly assess, is it them or maybe they just don't care! Again if you want to dine in ask for Brooke if she is not there be your own judge. read more

Good food, fun atmosphere, but first and last time visitors. We were overcharged when we received the bill. I asked the waitress and she said their prices have increased but the new menus haven't been printed yet. We order at the price on the current menu but are charged a higher price. Huh? For example, the happy hour beers are listed at $2.00, but we were charged $2.50. She did refund the difference when I asked about it, but I think I was overcharged on other items. My next stop is the state attorney general's office. What a ripoff. Be careful!! read more

Southside is one of, if not the best, local restaurants in Slidell. When you go there try the spinach artichoke dip!!!! My children and I go here often and we are never disappointed read more

Slidel, LA. Was staying near the restaurant while on a visit to NASA Stennis. The hotel recommended this place. From the outside the place was not inviting but once inside, it turned out to be quite pleasant. Sports bar with TV and plenty of tables. Ordered just the crayfish appetizer. It was delicious and the server was very friendly. Definitely a place to return to when in the area. read more

It's hard to judge a restaurant after only one visit, but I'm not sure when I will ever be back here. My one time experience was really more like 2 stars, but I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and give them 3. When I walked in, I found that I really liked the atmosphere and the size of the restaurant. After we were seated, the cook was going around to each table to show everyone an example of the special of the day. It looked so good! I'm not normally someone to order the special of the day due to it normally being a large amount of food for lunch and it's usually on the more pricey side. I believe it was Lent though and nothing else on the menu was popping out to me, so I went with the special. It was a shrimp pasta, and I believe an eggplant parmesan. I was really excited for the meal to come out, but when it did I was slightly disappointed. The eggplant parmesan was pretty good but the shrimp pasta just missed the mark. As workers for St Tammany Parish School System, we receive what is called a STAR card. It gives us little discounts at restaurants/stores in the parish. I don't live in the same parish that I work, so I don't get to use it much. One of my coworkers looked up the STAR card list of restaurants and saw that for Southside it said "15% off STAR Cardholder's total bill, excluding alcoholic beverages. Card must be presented at time of payment." So my three coworkers and I excitedly showed the waiter our cards and off he went to get our separate checks. He put them down without saying a word, and I noticed that the 15% discount was taken off of all of my friend's checks but not mine (mine was the most expensive regardless). When he came back, I told him that he had forgotten to take my discount off. He told me that he couldn't because I had ordered a special. First off, there was nothing special about "the special". It may have been a dollar cheaper than it is on a regular day which still makes my bill more than it would be had I been able to use the 15% off on the regular price. Second, it doesn't have stipulations for "specials" on the STAR card list, it just mentions that it excludes alcohol. Third, why didn't he tell me that when I showed him my card or at least when he brought the check to me? So I ended up pulling out my Yelp app to check in and, lo in behold, you get a discount for checking in. I showed the waiter my phone which he took with him and then came back with a discounted check. A lot of work for a small discount, but I was happy to save those two or so dollars ;) read more

Great place, this is one of the most consistent places you will ever visit. Also the staff have been consistent for many years. Food is spot on read more

Great service and the food is always delicious! Never disappoints! This place is a Slidell staple. It even came back after the storm and we're so glad it did! read more

Service was absolutely terrible. The server was quite rude and not easy to work with. The amount of seafood on the poboys was slim to none.

Wow! If you're passing by Slidell, it's a must stop. The stuffed artichoke was AMAZING!!! This place is for locals and tourists. The food was great and the service is too!!! read more

This is a nice little tucked in eatery with a military theme to it. Extremely open space and plenty of seats at the wrap around wooden bar. Brandi was our server and she couldn't be any better! She told us about the specials for the day which was chicken and dumplings served with greens, and the soup was a black bean soup. I ordered the sirloin burger with sautéed mushroom, comes with lettuce, tomato and mayo. I can't even tell you how delicious this was!! My friend ordered the buffalo wings and they were just as good. Perfectly done with just the right amount of heat. As a appetizer to accompany my burger and wings we ordered the onion rings. Brandi gave us the option of thin or thick cut- she suggested the thin and that's what we went with. I couldn't be more pleased. They were individually tossed with fresh seasoned battered- not something that's been sitting for days and watered down. They were fried to perfection and served with a side of sauce that accompanied the rings to a match! I can't say enough about this place and I would definitely go again; recommend it for all! read more

Pontchartrain Pig and French Onion soup! So good along with the BEST bacon Bloody Mary and great service

I've lived in Slidell my entire life and I've been to Southside Cafe on many occasions. I've never had a complaint about the food here, it's very delicious. The service isn't bad either. I've been to Southside more than a few times and its always been consistently great. I did notice, however, the above average population of older, bearded fellows. I am aware of the weekly 'bike night'. But the bikers are still unnerving. As I sit in the center of the restaurant with my family at a large round table, I notice the owners of the establishment are very openly opinionated about certain issues. But that's not important... during my latest visit, I took a beat and walked to the restroom for a few. As I stationed myself at the first toilet, another (large, bearded, leather-clad) fellow entered and started eyeing me up and down (my short and curlies included). Needless to say, I promptly left as I was very put off. But this doesn't not reflect on the restaurant. Just on its patrons. read more

Love it! Love the food and the service is laid back and friendly. Try the roast beef po-boy, if not anything else on the menu will satisfy. Southside is where I go in Slidell for a great roast beef po-boy! read more

Great tuna fish salad! Yummy po boys :) Mostly Friendly server, seemed like the manager. Sunday bloody mary is $5. Tons of options on the menu. Bright green building read more

Definitely a great local place. We had a good gumbo, onion strings and po boy. Great service. My only complaint was that the portions were too big. read more

Everything we got was delicious. I had the ribeye philly sandwich and it was sooo good. My husband got the muffuletta and said it was the best he had ever had. My parents got the seafood basket, all delicious. We also got the onion rings for an appetizer and they were excellent, great seasoning on them. We would definitely come back here next time we are in Slidell. read more

Everything here is delicious! Always great service too. We go here about once a month just for the poboys and loaded fries.

The best restaurant in Slidell!

I ate here once with my grandma and it was not good. I barely saw our waitress even though it was a weekday afternoon, the food was bland and I eat very plain food and get the same 2 dishes everywhere so if I'm saying it wasn't very good and didn't have much flavor that means something. My grandma was also unimpressed read more

Semper fidelis! Great atmosphere and wonderful poboys! Incredible collection of memoribilia. SHRIMP AND OYSTER poboy is my favorite.

Takes waaay too long to be seated & served. Food is average at best. Steaks are usu burned, salads are the worst (always wilted browning scraps of lettuce). Place is full of loud people drinking at the bar. Waitresses dress scantily & flirt openly. Not a place to bring your family, esp if you have children. Checkout is also painfully too long . read more

Best place in slidell to eat! My boyfriend and I spend every Thursday night(and then some) here with my parents. Our favorite waitress is Sophie, she is absolutely amazing! Everything here is good, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu! Definitely get the spinach artichoke dip. read more

The best restaurant around! Food is delicious and always consistent-atmosphere is lively. Huge menu with variety - great staff

As usual the food at Southside Cafe was well prepared and delicious. Even though the dining area stayed packed the wait was minimal. Rae, our server, was polite and checked our table regularly. She helped to make our visit enjoyable. Thank you! read more

Excellent service, food and beer! Big portions! I had the fried catfish and it was yummy! The only thing we didn't really like were the hush puppies. Nicole was an awesome server!! read more

Attentive and friendly staff! Nice place to also just stop and have a beer or wine at the bar. Love the shrimp salad and I've never had a soup here that I didn't enjoy! Plus, it was this place that really got me turned on to cheesy shrimp grits. Nice job folks! read more

Simple menu. Ordered stuffed mushrooms, it was good. just about everything comes with toast and lettuce. There was a lot of people drinking at the bar. I ordered a philly cheese steak, I end up w the one w the dipping sauce instead. It was ok with me. The fried oyster was a good size appetizer. I will definitely be back. read more

Ate lunch here and the place was packed. The Yuengling draft was super cold and crisp and my shrimp po boy was awesome! You can't beat this place. I will be back! read more
