The atmosphere at Surfside Bar & Grill was fine, but my breakfast experience fell short and felt poorly handled. I ordered the Eggs Benedict, and the eggs were overcooked, which unfortunately ruined the dish. When I mentioned it, the server agreed that it wasn't good, but the response came across as somewhat flippant rather than solution‑oriented. While I appreciate honesty, a more engaged approach--such as quality‑checking the dish before it left the kitchen or offering a quick replacement when the issue was identified early--would have gone a long way. Instead, the interaction made the situation feel awkward and left me uninterested in ordering anything else. Once a dish like Eggs Benedict is off, and the follow‑up feels dismissive, it tends to derail the entire experience. I'm sharing this as constructive feedback, as the restaurant seems to have potential, but stronger attention to quality control and guest recovery would greatly improve the overall experience. read more

beware of the curious bees!! NOMd: - house salad. w/ balsamic vinaigrette. w/ salmon. basic fresh salad for only $7 and the salmon is actually really good and well seasoned. didnt even need to drench it in lemon like i usually do. - bruschetta. - pepperoni cheese bread. both of these apps tasted like italian dunkers from middle school. - pretzel burger my friend got this and he liked it. service, etc.: this was over the summer and we sat on the patio. everytime i come here i wanna sit on the patio but regret it bc the bees are literally out to get me (my food). i have a fear of flying insects so it's like the worst exposure therapy everytime i come here lol. read more

I tried this place for the first time on Mother's Day. I've drove past it many times, but wasn't sure if I would like it based on yelp there wasn't many reviews or many photos. Well, let me tell you I loved this place and definitely plan on coming back, they are so friendly there and accommodating. They have a really cute patio And the inside of the bar is also cool with the video games and darts. The food was delicious. Everything we ordered was great. I'm pretty picky with my food and I ordered their BLT and it was so good. They do have a parking lot and there's another parking lot next to it for overflow parking. I definitely will make this my new summer spot when I'm visiting my mom out in Mound. read more

About our food, I had the walleye basket, wife had walleye sandwich. Hers had a bad fishy taste, mine had a little but the pickle relish drowned out the fishy taste. And someone who makes cornbread, I could have used mine for a hockey puk. Service was good, alot of people were there. read more

We stopped in tonight -- our neighborhood spot and a place we're proud to call our regular hangout. Jessica L. was absolutely amazing. She's friendly, attentive, and always makes us feel welcome. Even on a busy night, she stays upbeat and on top of everything. She checked in at all the right times, kept things running smoothly at our table, and genuinely made our night better. She's a big reason we keep coming back. The only small note -- and this is coming from a fellow bartender -- was that one cocktail(tequila soda) took abnormally long to come out from the bar. We totally understand that things happen, and it didn't ruin our experience at all, but it did stand out a bit. Overall though, Jessica's service was outstanding and truly the highlight of the night. We love our neighborhood bar and will definitely be back! read more

Stop here for a quick bite to eat before the soccer game at the high school Service was super friendly. The food was delicious and quick. I had a Cajun chicken with mashed potatoes My wife had a shrimp salad with strawberries read more

Hands down the best spicy margarita in Minnesota. Originally I ordered a vodka soda, then saw the "Taco Tuesday menu" and wistfully commented that I wished I had a margarita. Woman behind the bar-Claire- replaced my Tito's sofa for the spicy margarita. Claire was welcoming and gracious and didn't bat an eye. She was so great- hospitable but not too chatty. The spicy margarita was not too sweet (I hate sweet margs) and the habanero simple syrup gave it a pleasant kick. The tajin on the rim gave the whole thing complex flavor. My first time here and I will DEFINITELY be back. Ambiance was laid back. read more

This place has a casual, comfortable vibe when you walk in. Kind of an Applebee's, meets Perkins, meets neighborhood bar. Great open floor plan with the bar in the middle and TVs all around with sports and other shows play. The noise level is minimal, which makes it great for conversion and catching up. Our server was super attentive, chill, and funny. The appetizers were super satisfying. The main course was just okay (good, but didn't wow me). I got the french dip with fries and was satisfied. This is definitely a place to stop in for drinks and apps! read more

Nice looking restaurant, lots of TVs and projectors so you never miss a game! Food was good and nice staff as well, but some items were more pricey than they seem they should be, otherwise it's a nice eat! read more

Went with my family today. Party of 6. They played good music. The food was amazing. And this is probably the best server I've ever had, anywhere. His name is Tony, and I hope he gets some massive credit. Super attentive, checks on the table just the right amount, really casual and easy to talk to but still professional enough for a place like this. Literally have nothing bad to say about the guy. Tony, you're awesome dude. You really care about the place and it shows. read more

We really appreciate the vibe at Surfside, whether it's in the family dining room, the area with hightops and TVs or the bar. Service is unpretentious and food is always quite good! read more

Stopped at this place for dinner tonight and was pleasantly surprised! It's a cute little divey restaurant with a good selection of food. I got the coconut shrimp salad special and it was super good, and only $15! Their food and drinks are all relatively cheap. Had great service and food was ready super fast. Also tried the Korean and chicken stir fry's which were really good. Would recommend if you're looking for a dive bar with good food near mound. read more

I was totally happy at the end of our meal. This was our first visit here. Unusually busy for a Tuesday evening but treated nicely while waiting at the bar for a booth to open up. The cornbread mini loaf served with our entrees was delicious,!we are taking one home to try and reverse engineer them, FN yummy! We shared the homemade potato chips and a beet salad with grilled salmon to begin with. Then moved on to walleye fish and chips and a brown rice and quinoa grilled salmon with honey and Jalapeño sauce. I do not usually review on first visits unless it worth it. I found it worth it and do plan to visit again. read more

Surfside Bar & Grill - Outside deck, please see hostess inside for seating, dog friendly!!! - American Near Me - Mound, Minnesota

you knew surfside would get complacent - it's here. service is brutal, $16 will get you nothing more than a side salad. $18 will get you flat bread with nothing on it - basically a baked piece of flat bread - literally - that's it - all severed with an attitude. make sure to get a $12 glass of $6 bottle wine - they'll be out shortly as the lake crowd won't tolerate it ,, read more

Love the exterior sign for this joint, and the up to date interior was also impressive. I had the Jalapeño Popper Burger with a meaaaaaan sweet chile sauce, an excellent touch to a very decent dish. Soooo many unique options to try here. Good for family and friends, or even a first date. I look forward to returning! read more

The dirty dining room ruined the experience for us. The host sat us at a table with gobs of half-eaten food underneath. When we asked to move, we watched him kick it farther under the table instead of cleaning it up for the next person. The new table wasn't much cleaner. The bin with napkins and forks was covered in some kind of sauce. The more you looked around, the more every table looked unkept, and they weren't even at capacity. Food was actually decent if you can get past the mind games of what the kitchen must look like if the main room looks this grimy. read more

Surfside is a favorite in my neighborhood. There is a decent size patio in back off the parking lot. The inside is big, and they have a mix of national and local beers. They run specials most nights - ask the server. I had the cheeseburger with tots, it was a good size, juicy, delicious. The servers are great - mine made me feel very at home. They move fast and still provide good service. Free parking in their lot read more

Worst service I've ever had Bartender didn't even acknowledge me after I waved him down he said ill be with you Didn't say hi Didn't say welcome It was dead He proceeded to ignore me on purpose Not sure if he's new I waited And waited Then I left You don't want my $$$ No problem read more

Great service, yummy food and a dog friendly patio. It is worth checking out their Taco Tuesday and Happy Hour menus. Our go-to dishes are the Prime rib french dip and the Taco Tuesday Fajitas. Their house made chips are addicting!! read more

Hometown fun and great food! Always feel welcome. Great place to watch any game you want.

Long wait for a table but it was worth it. They have good food and drinks . Avoid this place on a Friday night or Saturday evening

Great service, alright food. Came here to explore this area of town. I am glad they have this kind of bar for the residents here. Lots of tv inside and very spacious. I do not mind coming here again during the summer. read more

All around great place to hang out, have a beer and play some pool. Great Food also good atmosphere read more

The southwest egg rolls were awesome! Will be back to try more items on the menu. They have a nice patio area as well!

This place is so frustrating. We get passed by several times by the bartender, watching him mope around behind the bar, when all we would like to do is get a beer and dinner. There are currently 14 people at the bar, it's not busy. This is the second consecutive time we've watched this unfold, and we're not alone. Seems as if you're not a regular you're never going to become one. He's currently chatting up a waitress and we've been sitting here dry for at least 15 minutes. Awful. read more

We have lived her for years and never stopped by, so finally took advantage of a cold Friday night and tried the Surf. It was great! Enjoyed a beer and southwest salad. Others at the table tried the fix and chips, cheeseburger and salad with added chicken. No one was disappointed and everyone was happy with their choice and I would say we would all agree we would not hesitate to come again. Too cold for this time of year, but the patio is a nice feature for summer. Staff was friendly and we were able to take advantage of using a Metro Dining card discount. Next time maybe the pretzel! read more

The food here is not great. The rice was cold, undercooked, and tasteless. And the pork in the "carnitas" burritos was clearly just the same dry, flavorless pork they use in their pulled pork sandwiches. The service was quick and the waiter extremely friendly, but for the quality of food alone I would not come back. read more

We have been coming to Surfside since they opened - love the patio in the summer and "Wine and Wings" night has become a fun date night between my boyfriend and I - no this is not something they officially have a special for (buy should!). We find we always end up here Wednesday nights, grabbing wine on Happy Hour, enjoying wings and the company. Patrons are friendly - have seen more acts of kindness and engagement between strangers here than I have anywhere else. We usually sit at the bar and the bartenders are nice, friendly - they always seem a bit swamped, so haven't had a chance to really get to know anyone very well yet. Great job on the remodel, rebrand, and revitalization of this great spot! We have introduced many friends to this place as our local watering hole and it has become the go-to for us! read more

Was looking forward to trying this - it seems to be packed every night! Was very excited for something great to be in that spot. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend. Lobster Roll was ok - fresh but there was so much crusty bread, the lobster wasn't able to shine through. Kids mac and cheese is Kraft from the box (which is a favorite), the chips were cold and overcooked. Most disappointing was the chicken fingers, by far the worst chicken fingers I've ever had. They were greasy, soggy, tough, and tasted off - like the fryer oil hadn't been switched in a while. read more

Taco Tuesday! Could be better. The wife and I got a margarita and tap beer. Both were good and cold. Good tap selection. Two taco orders, a enchilada style burrito and cheese burger sliders. The waffle fries tasted like they sat around awhile, tacos were about like Taco Bell. The burrito enchilada wasn't as good as something from Taco Bell. My son liked the sliders. Service was okay. Just before we left we discovered a nachos buffet in back, maybe included with the meal, we don't know as nobody mentioned it. read more

Our server was nice. Even though the wine menu listed Sycamore Cab at $6. and was the house wine I was told they no longer served that. I was given a brand they serve as the house wine and did not look at the price. They charged me $12 even though the menu said $11.00. Of course that is a exorbitant price for a house wine. There were several other options on the menu. Steak bites were not tender The Cuban sandwich was very tasty. read more

The pasta I ordered this evening was excellent. Reminded Us of being in Florence, Italy. A high end restaurant taste for sure. Pesto Chicken & Broccoli so good! We highly recommend! I am so sorry We ate it up so fast, no time for a photo. Excellent. Bartenders Eric & Josh are Johnny on the spot, but again, what would one expect, the location is managed by a highly educated, kind, personable manager by the name of Jake. We are so Blessed to have a high quality restaurant in our town. Great People Make the Difference! Thank YOU Eric, Josh, & Jake! read more

What a great place in Mound! Lively sports bar atmosphere with TVs throughout the place and a long bar. A group of five of us went on a Friday night and nearly every table was full, but we managed to get seated right away. The menu has great variety: burgers, salads, sandwiches, and larger entrees. The portions are quite large so it's a good place to split or take leftovers. Fish and chips (daily special), burger, and southwest salad all tasted great, and I was even pleased with the mixed greens side salad. Always love it when it's non-iceberg. Our waitress was attentive despite the busy evening. I would love to come back here during the summer in order to enjoy the outdoor patio! Overall, great place for families or adults. read more

Wow, surfside has stepped up their game with the food quality. Prime rib was outstanding, their cheese curds are not bad and the dry rub wings are phenomenal. Why the 3 stars you ask? Well, the service is so bad that we left feeling like we weren't welcome. For a cold Friday evening it was not busy, tables were open and the bar was half occupied. When you get seated and have time to run back to the truck to get your readers to look at the menu, have a conversation about your entire week and plan a trip to Florida AND work through an entire house remodel and not once get acknowledged by the servers checking their insta's that's not great.... So move to the bar? Have a seat, the couple next to you sits down and orders but you're wondering if the invisibility shirts are working too well and finally decide to ask to order but you're told you have to wait your turn which we had been more than patient. Then the gal next to us in total shock says loud enough for the bar tender to hear, "Wow! Did he just yell at you?", remember, it wasn't that busy, I know he heard her.... So, we finally get acknowledged and I try to make light of my scolding and order. Hey, things are back on track.... But, then all the food comes all at once(we don't drink, had to retire or this scene would have gotten super interesting and instead of ordering sixteen cocktails we try to order more food to make up for the lack of sweet sweet liquor). Dinner was great, food was out amazingly fast but then.... When you have a new GMC diesel they upped the time it can sit warming up from 10 to 15 minutes and when you have to restart it while waiting to get your bill you start to wonder what is going on? Maybe my wife putting her jacket on could be a sign? Maybe throwing my card on the bar another sign? Maybe, just maybe putting my jacket on standing up RESTARTING MY TRUCK AND HOLDING MY CARD UP for the bartender to see would work, which he does but then turns and walks away... Finally, I get the bill after the fella decides he's good and ready. I'm throwing down cash because I'm afraid if I give him a card we could be Shanghai'd for another fortnight while he decides to run the card or not and that's when speedy Gonzales kicks into high gear and is hovering waiting for the cash and tip.... Here's the kicker, we both worked as servers and bartenders growing up and are very patient and try to be extremely empathetic to servers and bartenders but this was so bad I'm on yelp writing a review Saturday morning. If you go to surfside expect some decent food, can't guarantee the appetizers will beat your entrees but hey, they did come out hot and quick. Service? Maybe it was an off night... The couple next to us won $200 on pull tabs! That was awesome! read more
