This place is a top shelf 10! The atmosphere is great, people are always nice. Food isn't always spectacular, I wouldn't compare it to a Michelin star restaurant. However, in the same breath I've never been mad at a meal there. The black and blue steak pasta, the meat could be a higher grade for the price. However the sauce carries the dish! The whipped feta dip, with the hot honey you'll never miss. Best part about this place is they have bottles of Amstel Light, and can make an awesome old fashioned! Took my 75 year old dad here, first restaurant in a while that carried Amstel. It made his night, I'll forever bring him back whenever he is in town so he can have his beer! Please do not change a thing! This place is spectacular. I just hope I'm always able to find a table. I would sit at the bar and be there more if the bar was just a bit bigger! read more

-I started coming to Southside Grill during COVID in 2020 and genuinely enjoyed it until recently. While the restaurant tries to cultivate a tight-knit, neighborhood vibe, it ultimately feels like a breeding ground for unprofessionalism and local drama "You make people uncomfortable " according to management is not a legitimate reason for mistreatment- especially with no factual evidence of wrongdoing. No customer should be mistreated or pushed out based on unfounded claims that they "make people uncomfortable." Good hospitality means welcoming everyone fairly and professionally. Unfortunately, that is no longer what you'll find here. read more

Service is always great. Last time I got the beef bruschetta. Felt like it was less meat than usual, but the menu does say 'morsels'. Husband got the black and blue pasta and loved it. They recently renovated and it looks nice. Great atmosphere, but it does get really loud even when it's not crowded. read more

Southside Grill has a great ambiance and the service is friendly and professional. The food is pretty amazing, as well. This place would be easy to not notice and miss as it sits in a rather nondescript shopping plaza and the exterior does not give a clue to the great experience that awaits inside. read more

My husband and I pass Southside on our way to the grocery store every week, and finally decided to give it a try. Boy, were we glad we did. We called on Easter morning, and were able to obtain a mid day reservation which was wonderful. We both tried the brunch menu, and both our meals were delicious. Husband had the eggs Benedict with home potatoes, I had the breakfast tacos- add chorizo and cheese with asparagus on the side. The hollandaise sauce on the benny was yummy- it is always something we are both particular about. Even though it was Easter, our server never seemed overwhelmed or like she was rushing us to leave the table. We got to enjoy a beer and a mimosa without her feeling like she was pushing more alcohol on us. Quaint little space that wasn't too loud, had a nice family friendly atmosphere. Definitely will be enjoying more meals here, the whole menu looks delicious! read more

Great neighborhood restraunt with excellent staff and food quality! Fantastic for brunch or nice dinner with friends.

This place is great. Food is excellent and the staff are great. Quinn makes her world famous green tea shots you have to try. We are having the crab cakes today which are great. We have not had anything bad here. You need to try it out if you like good food and service. If you don't like good food and service don't go here! read more

12-20-25. Birthday dinner at 6pm. The bday card at the table was great, the server was awesome. Now let's get to the 2 filets that were ordered. They were both ordered medium and showed up RAW and tough as leather. The waitress was great about taking it back to have it cooked more. Let me reiterate, the waitress was GREAT about it. The problem came when the lady "manager" stuck her nose in. She brought both of them back and 1 was ok and the other was still raw. She was told, it was supposed to be medium, to which she responded "this is our type of medium" with such a condescending attitude that we almost left right there. The reply to the attitude was " WELL DONE THEN!". When it finally came back, it wasn't even wanted by then. There was no offer of "can we make it right?" just more attitude, from the manager, NOT the waitress. The manager couldn't even be bothered with anyone in the regular dining area, she had her nose firmly stuck up the butts of the party on the patio. Of the 3 of us, my black and blue tortellini was the only meal that was good. I do not recommend this place unless they start ordering better filets and hire a better manager and some better cooks. read more

Totally surprised!! This was my first time and the food was unbelievable. I had dreams about the Sweet and Spicy Shrimp. I also had the Chop Steak, Mashed Potatoes and Brussel sprouts.

This is a very cozy space, with dimmed light and fire place popping. Perfect set up for a lovely dinner date with your loved ones. The food is good, fresh and well seasoned. You can taste the thoughts the chef put into their creations. Services are very tentative, we were check on multiple times during our meal to ensure everything tasted good. Wine is yum, food is yum, what else is there to say? read more

Food and service was amazing! The tomato soup with goat cheese with grilled cheese on the side is always a Fall favorite!

As always? Spectacular!!!! Parking is easy, I've always thought they could work on their greeting team but once you get in and are sprinkled with the service perfection you forget about the welcome. I really just love it here, neighborhood restaurant meets (semi) formality! read more

Had a great time here celebrating a birthday. Southside has been here a long time and for good reason. The ambience is upscale and the food matches that upscale feel. We ordered and had our food within 20 minutes or so. I got the kobe gouda truffle burger with fries. The fries were good, but nothing that will blow your mind. The burger on the other hand had about 4 slices of bacon, gouda plenty of arugula, and truffle oil. Fantastic burger and I heard the other chicken dishes at the table were really good as well. For a nice dinner or date night this place seems like a great shout. Happy hour also has some great deals on alcohol. Give them a try! read more

My meal was AMAZING! 10/10. The service was amazing and the food was soo good. My server told me about making the shrimp blackened to give it an extra spice and now that i've had it, that's the ONLY way I want my shrimp cooked. The restaurant itself gives a very cozy feeling with the fireplace and semi dark room. I definitely will be coming back and bringing more people to try good food! read more

Excellent service. We enjoyed mimosas, a Tennessee Sunrise, a plate of biscuits as an appetizer, eggs Oscar, a three egg omelette , a Sophia omelette , and a piece of chocolate ganache cake. Everything was very good, and the portions are generous. The English muffins for the eggs Oscar were too thin. read more

Great spot for brunch on the south side of Nashville. Food is excellent, fairly priced, good service and no long wait. Love the outside patio especially with the new clear screens and fireplace. The inside casual and cozy. Nice place for a date night or gathering with family/friend. Convenient location and you can park right outside. One of my favorite places to dine outside of downtown. Worthy of a visit. read more

Best burger in south Nashville! With hot chicken and burger joints on every corner , this place sticks out. Consistently good burgers, nightly specials with great bartenders and wait staff. We live in Nolensville and find Southside Grill to be the best food in the area. Well unless you want BBQ and banana pudding, then try Edleys! read more

My family and I went after church at about 10:15 and was originally told that we could be seated 15-30 minutes then we were told the earliest they could get us in was at 2pm. We put our names down since we live in the Sugar Valley subdivision. We were never called or texted that a table was ready. Called back and never got a response, when we did the called ended. read more

Everything is A+ here. Stopped several times and it's always been tasty. It is pricey, I recommend the filet, it's terrific. Of course we'll be back. read more

We typically love this place, but Father's Day weekend somewhat set a different tone. I took my husband out to dinner for a Father's Day date night. Reservation for 6:45pm on Saturday. We got the beef bruschetta which used to come with five pieces, now only served with four? My husband got the nightly special which was blackened mahi mahi with crab on top. The mahi mahi was sooooo dry!! Even with the sauce on it. But no biggie, overall food and drinks were "fine" we chucked it up to an off night for the kitchen. But what really got us, was how dang hot it was in the restaurant! We got stuck in the back little room, where I had to go searching for a server after waiting almost 10 mins. Poor girl was soaked in sweat when she finally made it to our table. It was 80 degrees in that restaurant. When we sat down the thermostat was already at 78 (set to 68) and continued to crawl up for the duration of our meal. We told the waitress "wow, it's so hot in here!" And she replied with basically that they were all struggling with the temperature inside. I asked if they were having problems, and she replied with yes! Why have the restaurant open? Or why continue to accept guest without giving a warning at the very least? We get it, things happen, things break, off nights for the kitchen. Etc. But if the inside of a restaurant is climbing over 80 degrees in temp, your people should be aware before seating. What a bummer of a treat for my husband. read more

Nice and intimate ambient setting on the enclosed patio with a gorgeous fireplace! The server was incredibly friendly and checked in on us often. We ordered the calamari and beef bruschetta as our starters - both were great! I was surprised at how good this take of bruschetta was! The only things that were a little off for us was that they brought out our mains a couple minutes after we had just been served our starters so we had to quickly scoff down a plate to make room on the table. It was Valentine's Day so hopefully this isn't the standard. Secondly, we ordered a classic Kobe burger and the braised pork ragu for our mains and they were both so incredibly under seasoned, and the bottom bun of my burger was so soggy it had practically disintegrated by the time it got to the table lol. Everything was actually cooked super well but we were a little underwhelmed by the flavors. Overall I'd check them out for their appetiszers and drinks! read more

Had driven by many times and finally stopped in for dinner on a Friday night. Wow were we glad we did. The menu is enticing with so many choices. We settled on the calamari appetizer that had two dipping sauces that complimented the calamari perfectly. For the meal, the Brasserie chicken and the Meat Ball special of 3 large meat balls on a bed of polenta and broccoli was delicious. The staff was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was welcoming with options to sit inside in the dining area or bar and also outside. Will definitely be back and bring friends!!! read more

I ate here one year ago and left underwhelmed. My opinion of Southside Grill has completely changed after this weekend! To start off, we ordered Beef Bruschetta. This is a MUST HAVE. The steak bits were so tender and juicy. Each bite produced an explosion of flavors. A blend of sharpness from the cheese, mildness from the tomatoes, and aromatics from the basil created the perfect appetizer. We also got Arancini, which are fried risotto balls. It has a mild flavor, but still delicious. The inside risotto was very soft and creamy with a crisp outer layer. The marinara sauce had a kick. Get the scallops! They were literally smooth like butter. The sauce on top was tangy and complemented the shellfish amazingly. I got risotto and grilled broccolini as my sides. I also tried a price of my friend's filet mignon (medium rare) and it was tender and juicy. Our service was fantastic. There doesn't seem to be a dress code; I saw some groups dressed up, while others sported athleisure. The prices of the food are definitely high end. My advice: don't be afraid to spend a little more for the higher price items. They are so worth it. My only wish is that the portions were bigger. read more

I sat outside. Nice environment and the food was decent. Service was fine as well. Nothing exceptional but a pleasant dining experience.

We have lived about 4 miles from Southside Grill for close to 20 years, and only recently (2021) decided to try it. We love it! We've never had a bad meal here: ever. The food is consistently fresh and prepared to perfection. We've even brought friends and family here, and other posh restaurants in Franklin, and they've all preferred Southside. A few items to consider on the menu: Calamari: the best I've had outside of New England Beef Bruschetta: we get it every time Tortellini: a favorite of mine Chicken: bistro/brasserie or pistachio: always great Fish: they've recently added redfish (drum) and it's delicious, but lately it's been outshined by the blackened mahi-mahi, which is outstanding. Come on a Sunday night, and it's half-price wine. read more

Food was excellent. Great variety. We went with a party of 4 with diverse tastes. One had the meatloaf special, another a chicken dish, another a fish choice and of course, a steak choice. All of us were satisfied. We also had appetizers and bread--that was great too! Nice atmosphere and the service was great. Ample parking. read more

The lobster ravioli with blackened shrimp is worth the visit if you enjoy robust flavors. I also recommend the spicy shrimp appetizer.

Absolutely love this place. We come here every Thursday for happy hour, and do get food more often than not. The food is great, the drinks are unique and tasty. The service and the staff are what keep us coming back. Everyone is so friendly and attentive, even when the place is packed!! I look forward to my weekly evenings spent here!! read more
