Such good food and the service is always excellent!! They're usually busy so make a reservation!

It was delicious!! The soup was amazing! Definitely eat inside and accept the complimentary soup!

Southside grill is awesome and so friendly. Great food & portions along with great service!

There is a lot to like about the Southside Grill if you understand what it is and what to expect. Pros Very good value for what you pay for, both in the quality and quantity of food. It is a basic, good, local, diner. Service and staff are very nice. They remember who you are and make you feel appreciated. They are fast. You can almost always get in without a wait. Located in South Anchorage Cons The inside of the place is a little run down, but that also gives the place some of the atmosphere I appreciate. read more

Great breakfast, great service, Mama is so friendly. Must go if hungry on a dreary Sunday morning. Loved it.

Always have received excellent service and delicious well priced food. I've only tried their breakfast.

Food was delicious. Cinnamon roll is a must have. Phil's cheese steak sandwich was great and so was their biscuit and gravy was amazing. Waitress was so sweet. read more

4 star food .. 5 star staff. Its always very busy but never have to wait long at all. We visit here often (about once a month) and we are always very happy with the entire experience. We are always treated so nice and our food is never wrong. Hopefully a second location will open up! read more

My husband and I love this place for home cooked hearty meals. I love that I can get breakfast anytime of the day. This place is always packed with people especially on the weekends so chances are you may have to wait for seating, it's worth it. I ordered a ham and cheese omelet with a side of pancakes. The servings are huge so I took some home. You can see by the pictures. The servers are very friendly and positive. It's a smaller place and I love the personal atmosphere and they treat you like friends the minute you walk in. read more

You can tell by the long lines on weekends just how good this place is. It's the old fashioned Cafe that used to be the center of every town. The place everyone goes for breakfast or lunch...you know..the Seinfeld -esque diner. The portions are huge, the prices are reasonable, and.the coffee is never ending. I think it's owned by a colorful Russian family that seriously get the job done and done well and quickly. They are not messing around! When all the trendy spots you are trying to get into have long waiting lines....get real and get over here too get some real good, real food and quickly. And your wallet will thank you. The food is great. You won't be disappointed. read more

I enjoyed my meal here, especially the breakfast potatoes. I wasn't especially pleased with the biscuits and gravy. They tasted ok, but it seems like they just put hot gravy over a cold biscuit, because they were not warm, nor soft, when served. Other than that I would still recommend this place. The service was good and food was overall good. I would love to try their lunch options. read more

Stopped in for breakfast and was very pleased. Had the country breakfast and everything was great. Would definitely come back!

The Southside grill is one of my families staples! We love coming here when we're in Anchorage. A small place with a real family own/run feeling. Every time we come, even when it's busy, we always receive a friendly greeting. Service is friendly, quick, and food is delicious. I love the hot turkey sandwich and tuna melt for lunch (both of which come with soup and fries), but it's hard to pick a favorite for breakfast. The waffles are amazing, pancakes are fluffy, and if you order crunchy bacon, it actually comes crunchy. This time I tried the pigs in a blanket, which was delicious. True to everything, the serving was generous, and I couldn't finish it. Come hungry! read more

This place is amazing, great hardworking staff, the food comes out quick and is delicious, and has the great feel of an old diner.

What a cool place with awesome staff. I would have posted a picture of the meal, but as soon as it was sat in front of me I dug in. The quality of food was as good as it gets and the attentiveness of the staff and fun interactions were great as well. I'm excited to explore their menu. read more

Never have I walked into such a welcoming environment. For being as busy as they were , they notice and acknowledge each and every person that walks through that door! And the food !!! OMG absolutely amazing!!! read more

We have never eaten here before, but the food and service was good. Restaurant was very clean and staff was friendly. We both had breakfast and it came out to us pretty fast. I'd definitely eat here again. read more

We had a takeout breakfast from here. It was delicious with excellent friendly service. I would eat here again.

We had two of the best items in town today for a late lunch/early dinner. I had liver and onions with mashed potatoes-definitely home made mashers and the liver was perfectly cooked and both large slices were fork tender, and the accompanying salad was fresh crisp bright romaine with tasty croutons, cuke slices and a wedge of tomato. The blue cheese dressing on the side is thick enough to stand a spoon in--very rich and tasty. Overall probably the best liver and onions in town. My wife had her favorite--the French Dip sandwich. It comes with more than plentiful sliced roast beef and an au jus that you could just drink it is so flavorful. And the French fries are unique--nicely battered and cooked to perfection and served piping hot. Our server was spot on --keeping the coffee cups full and checking in periodically without being obtrusive. Good job all around. My only issue is they close at 3:00 p.m.--so PLAN AHEAD. Closing at three means closing at three. read more

Breakfast was great! Had a group of six and they served us quickly. Friendly staff and delicious food. Ultimate Skillet was very tasty.

We decided to stop by here on our way through Anchorage and it was amazing! All of our food came out quickly, every order was correct, and the portions and price are on point! The owner came out and was very friendly, she even gave us all a price of candy before we left! Great experience, great food, and great staff! Also, the place was super clean! From the table when we sat down, to the restrooms! read more

We love breakfast! Great choices. We got the Hungry Man breakfast. The biscuits and gravy is at the top of my list. The service was fast and the server was very nice. It has a diner feel and look. Just expect to pay more for meals in Alaska, that's just the way it is. For two we spent over $30.00 before tip. We would definitely return. The bathroom is clean. On my way to the bathroom I regretted not trying their cinnamon rolls. They are huge. I've included a picture of what I missed. read more

This is the perfect service and top notch greasy spoon. I left 100% satisfied. Excellent selection for breakfast! The staff was very polite and had no problem hooking up a giant glass of chocolate milk. read more

Service excellent! Breakfast was fast and good! We'll return for both dine in or for to-go orders.

We read the reviews and decided to give this place a try... seriously delicious! I'm so glad we stopped, they are super fast, the portions are huge and the servers were pleasant. I had the bacon, avocado and cheese omelette with pancakes and my husband had the reindeer sausage skillet. Mine was super yummy and his was good but not amazing. Overall it was good, service was great, lots of food, lots of choices and fast! read more

An old fashioned cafe with excellent service, great food (breakfast is my favorite). A nice place to enjoy a meal and visit with friends.

So good! First time going, found it because they were open for dining in. Super clean and friendly, food was perfect and the kids food was just the right amount. Will be our go to before or after the zoo. read more

Service was impeccable, food was out of this world. They made me feel right at home. I will be recommending this place to everyone I know!!

This is a great breakfast place if you're craving the no frills, diner, all american breakfast experience. Lots of food, yummy, friendly cheerful service. Decor is classic diner style (not fun or retro or intentional kitsch, it just is). We eat here semi-regularly. All of the food has always been good and the service friendly and quick. I usually get the eggs benedict with home fries. Not the best I've ever eaten, but very good. My husband prefers the pancakes, eggs, sausage or bacon combo. This is not going to change your world, but for a dependable classic breakfast, it is a safe and solid choice. Not fancy or trendy, but basic food done well. read more

A must visit during your trip to Alaska. A very nice break from the breakfast buffets or hotel food you would be forced to consume. Everything I have tried had been well prepared and delicious. They have a great breakfast burrito and sandwich that can be great for those grab and go mornings. read more

Great place for a BIG breakfast or lunch. Not exactly keto friendly menu but if you want something early in the day that will last all day, this is your place. Lots of staff milling about so you won't be ignored. They're all friendly and helpful. We like the skillets for breakfast. The Philly cheese steaks are great too for lunch. Beware your younger family members ordering a breakfast that comes with pancakes on the side. It's a huge amount of food! Highly recommend if it's your last morning stop on the way out of Anchorage for a drive to points south. read more

We always feel welcome at the Southside Grill, so I had to go ahead and up my review to a fiver. The staff is just so great! My family is much more prone to cook up an extravagant breakfast at home on the weekends than go out, but when we do venture out, it's almost always to SSG. I'm still a big fan of the skillets... A catch-all dish with meat, veg, eggs, and potatoes all-in-one. The kids still love the French Toast combo meal. It's got all the sweet, savory, and salty flavors that agood breakfast can offer. read more

Good food but really rude server. Went here this morning and we were rushed out the door after 45 minutes. Server told us there was a line and they needed to flip our table. We will not be coming back. read more

Love this place. Always looks busy but never a long wait. Good breakfast food! Nice home cooking feel.

Staff were all extremely friendly and upbeat. Food came out fairly quick but not too quick where its sus. Large portions and amazing food. Had the vegetarian omelet which came with hash brown and toast YUM! read more

I've eaten here a few times, the food is always good the staff is always friendly. I go here for lunch dates with my husband.

It isn't dining, it's a diner. A great diner. Quality food, generous portions and attentive service.

Best basic breakfast in town and for an affordable price. The staff is always warm and welcoming and once you've been there a few times, they will recognize you and give you a few extra oats on the back or candies for the kids. I almost always order the Denver Omelette for breakfast and end up taking half of it back home for the next day. (Don't tell the owners). My kids love the French Toast and the pancakes; the kids are teenagers, they eat constantly. My hubs loves their biscuits and gravy and always orders a side which I hesitantly share, the calories people! Definitely a go to spot for a good, tasty, filling and enjoyable breakfast. read more

If you're looking for consistently good food and great service come here! The staff is warm and welcoming. The service is fast and attentive. We ordered two breakfast skillets and they were both delicious! Everything was fresh and cooked perfectly, i ordered "the ultimate skillet" and highly recommend it. Also looking at what other people ordered around us the portions are generous and everything looked fresh and tasty. Its a very family friendly environment too. Ive only had breakfast here but plan on going back to try their lunch menu. read more
