This is THE spot for breakfast/brunch in South Anchorage. They are busy on the weekends but I've always been seated immediately. Service is efficient-- staff is quick to greet you and pour you a cup of coffee. They've got all the breakfast classics plus daily specials. I usually get something different every time I come here. Food comes out quickly and staff is attentive. The ideal dining experience!

I can always count on Southside grill to provide great service. The food always comes out in less than ten minutes from ordering, and it tastes the same every time! AMAZING. I like to order the omelets when I come with crispy hash browns and a pancake instead of toast. YUM!

We stopped in here for breakfast before going to the Zoo. The service was very friendly. We ordered the reindeer sausage to try and it was very good. The pancakes were fluffy and my brother seemed to enjoy his French Toast. It's a breakfast place I would definitely recommend.

Best Biscuits and Gravy

The BEST HASHBROWN IN THE WORLD. and the BEST WAFFLES EVER!!! & FAST SERVICE!! If you're visiting you have to try this place. It was my last 24 hours visiting in Anchorage and this place was suggested by a family member. So my wife and I decided to try it out. When we walked into the place, the door was open - literally. And it felt so nice inside. So homey. After bring greeted with a friendly smile we're directed to have a seat anywhere. It seemed just as quickly as e say down, our server came with coffee, which caught me off guard. But realistically, it was probably less than 2 minutes. She was nice. We both ordered the Hungry Man's breakfast. I had bacon, eggs hashbrowns, biscuits and gravy and i ordered Pecan waffle as well. Our food came, and I usually take a photo before I eat at a place I haven't and when it looks nicely presented. But I was hungry, forgot and also because it was a diner. As a Texan, I tried the biscuits and gravy first. They Did Not Disappoint. 2 Big delicious biscuits bathing in a bowl of gravy. The biscuit were warm, soft, fluffy on the inside, thin layer of crisp on the outside. The gravy was definitely from scratch. It was so so creamy, with just the right spice, I saw bits of meat chunks as well. My thought after one bite was, This is How I should Eat my Biscuits and Gravy from now on. This is what all my biscuits n gravy will be compared to. Next up i had to try a bite of hashbrowns. With a little bit of ketchup drizzled, I tried the one food item that would be known as the standard for all things Hashbrown. Potatoe strips loosely packed together creating a layer of perfectly golden crispy goodness on top and bottom with a tender center of starch. Like the kind you'd see as advertised on any tv, movie or the package of any golden brown hashbrown. Except this was a dream come true and a dream that I never knew I had. These were Perfect. I've had a lot of hashbrowns in my lifetime and from many different places around the country. But this is The BEST in the WORLD on how it was done right. The WAFFLES was next, it too, would the New standard of all waffles sounds be. It was the perfect golden brown with the perfect recipe for a crisp exterior and a waffles fluffy interior of sweetness, served with hot syrup. After my wife tried a bit of the waffle she had also mentioned on how good they were. The bacon was perfectly cooked. And my eggs were beautifully over easy. I ate it with the Signature Southside Sauce which was very good!! Better than Chalula. When I went to pay, I was met with such friendliness. After the lady from behind the counter asked me how was everything I had to tell her, she needed to know... BEST HASHBROWNS IN THE WORLD... BEST WAFFLES EVER. ... she gave me a high five and a handful of candy and told me she goes by Mama, which seemed so fitting. My wife added a side of pancakes with her order and those pancakes were so pillowy soft, moist and melted in my mouth. It was such a nice contrast to the crispy hashbrowns. I told her I was visiting from Texas but that I'd be back during my next trip when I pick up my wife and daughter after Hurricane season is over for us. She also sent me home with a small bottle of their signature house sauce which I thought was the nicest thing ever!! Now I have another thing to look forward to on my trips to a Anchorage. "Best Hashbrowns and Waffles in the World" "Best Biscuits and Gravy" Its saddening though, that from that point on... all my breakfast or brunches containing hashbrowns, waffles and biscuits would be compared to this one meal. Heck, anything with potatoes, waffles and biscuits. For Anyone Visiting Anchorage, you have to try it. For those living in Anchorage, your so lucky to have this place and Mama!

Side of bacon
Tara E.

Always wonderful to try a new spot and find one that's incredible!!! South side Grill did not disappoint. Big helpings, friendly staff, quick service. It was standing room only when we arrived and Momma had us seated in no time. Our new breakfast go to, for sure.

Chicken Fried Steak

Perfect spot for brunch! Great fluffy pancakes and delicious chicken fried steak! Good service and old fashion diner style food. Only thing is that if they're busy, they would do anything in their power to kick you out without verbally asking you hahaha. They will clear out your table 110% until you feel uncomfortable and leave. So I wouldn't go there if you wanna catch up with a friend or wanna have a peaceful conversation brunch. Other than, it's a good restaurant

Classic American breakfast!
Rhett F.

Classic no frills dining, very fast service, good food, nothing incredible but if you're looking for good solid breakfast fare this is the place for you. Big portions offering things like French toast as a side replacement! No views or anything special just the bare necessities. Prices were reasonable as well. As an aside I had the crab Benedict and while good the crab could have been firmer/more cooked, and the home fries were maybe a touch under seasoned for my taste. I may go with the hashed browns next time.

Potato Salad was good and sandwich was tasty too.
Bill W.

Service was very friendly. Food was above average. Love to support small businesses when I travel.

Fantastic breakfast food! It really doesn't look like much from the outside but I promise, you'll walk out a happy customer! It seems to be a local favorite. There were a lot of regulars the morning I was there. We began with fresh coffee and went straight to ordering our food. We wanted to try a lil bit of everything so we ordered a Western Omelette (ham, grilled onions, green pepper and cheese, $15.25) with a side of pancakes (+$0.00), the Pigs in the Blanket (3 sausage links wrapped with pancakes, literally, $13.45) with a side of home fries ($5.50) and gravy ($2.95). All of it was PHENOMENAL. The omelette was FAT. Generously stuffed with the goods and cooked to tasty perfection. A whole lot of flavor, 100% recommend. The home fries were so yummy. Lots of garlic flavor and crispy fried delish! The real winner was the Pigs in a Blanket! They were so damn good, especially with the apple pie filling that's served with it (yes! Actual pie filling. It's heavenly).

Heidi's Family Restaurant - Reindeer Sausages w/ 3 eggs, hash potatoes, and sourdough toast

Lightning Fast Service and Delicious Breakfasts! We…read morestopped by for a midmorning breakfast and were delighted by both the service and the food. Within 20 minutes of walking in, we were seated, served coffee and water, placed our order, and received our meals. We enjoyed classic breakfast favorites--fried eggs, patty sausage, biscuits and gravy, reindeer sausage--and the lightest, fluffiest, most perfectly prepared Belgian waffle. The experience was so impressive that we returned the next day to see whether it had been a fluke; it was not. The staff was just as friendly and efficient, and while the breakfast sandwich we added was delicious, I couldn't resist ordering another heavenly waffle. I strolled by the kitchen, a couple of times, to try and look to see what magic they were performing in the background, but their secret sauce is the people who work there! So close to the airport, great staff, even better breakfasts and a must stop for breakfast on your way to or from the airport.

I'll preface this by saying that I've heard plenty of good things about Heidi's food, portions and…read morecleanliness. So I really wanted this to become a regular spot for me. Unfortunately, after trying two weekends in a row, I'm giving up. I completely understand that weekend breakfast/brunch is going to be busy. Waiting isn't the issue. The check-in and seating process is just incredibly disorganized. Both visits I put my name on the waitlist. The first time, I specifically asked if I could take one of two open seats at the bar and was told I still needed to join the waitlist. I did, but guests who arrived after me were eventually seated at the bar ahead of me. The second weekend, essentially the same thing happened again. There also doesn't seem to be a clear way to tell who is actually waiting versus who has just arrived. Meanwhile, I watched larger tables that had been pushed together for bigger parties remain together after those parties left, then get reset and used for smaller groups rather than being separated again. That's a lot of usable seating sitting unnecessarily occupied when you have a lobby full of people waiting. When I asked the host during my first visit why someone behind me on the waitlist had been given the bar seat I'd originally asked about, I received an apology but no real explanation or resolution. On the positive side, after spending plenty of time waiting on both visits, I can certainly confirm what others have said about the restaurant being clean and the portions looking generous coming out of the kitchen looke I genuinely wanted to try Heidi's, and I still think it may be worth visiting during slower hours. But after two consecutive weekend experiences with the same seating issues, the problem feels less like "they were busy today" and more like a process that needs some attention. Unfortunately, that's enough for me to stop trying for now.

I did takeout…read moreas I was tired of the conference food and picked up lunch and snacks for the plane ride back home. Service was friendly and swift. Almost too swift as I didn't have time to fully peruse the plentiful options and decide what i wanted to order to go. They also offered generous samples of their daily soups, so I got to taste both delicious soups! - Ham, brie, apricot, apple sandwich on french baguette - 5/5, I was expecting the baguette to be hard to bite down on but it was the perfect mix of crunchy outside, soft inside and not difficult at all to eat! What was difficult was the portion size as I could have easily shared it with someone else - pumpkin/carrot/ginger soup - 5/5, truly scrumptious! - italian sausage white bean kale soup - 4/5, delicious and just a tad too salty - ham cheddar chive scone - 3/5, I was expecting to really like this but it was a bit too hard and had large chunks of ham in it which was generous but not what I was expecting - chocolate croissant - 4/5, solid offering but not the best I've ever had - pecan maple shortbread cookies - 4/5 I wish I had more days in Anchorage and more time (they're open 7am - 4pm and October on only open Wednesday through Sunday) and look forward to returning when I hopefully return to Anchorage! I'd come every day to try everything!

Absolutely love the vibe in here, and the smattering of awesome pastries, and desserts all over-the-counter. I may only be in town for a week, but I'll probably stop by this place at least a couple more times. They seem to have a really great staff too, I could see everyone just busy and the utmost care and attention to detail going on with every pastry. Clean and comfortable atmosphere, with an amazing staff and downright awesome pastries, and such. Another homerun on my visit to Anchorage, has my highest recommendation.
