The South Side

I'm a Reno, NV native, but after visiting Cleveland for the first time in September 2024, I knew I'd be back. Luckily, my Airbnb was just around the corner from The South Side, which became my go-to spot. The service was top-notch, the waitresses were stunning, and the food was satisfying. I loved the atmosphere, especially when I sat outside on the patio - it was incredibly chill.I returned to Cleveland in October and didn't hesitate to go back to The South Side. Needless to say, I wasn't disappointed.Now, I'm planning my next trip to Cleveland in May, and I've decided to make The South Side a tradition - it'll be my first stop every time I visit. It's become my Cleveland staple!

We had made a reservation since we were a large group of 11. We sat in an area that was technically indoors but they had the doors completely open to let in air. But we hardly had any airflow and there weren't any fans so it was stifling and very hot. Most of us were sweating! We did have a great server. Didn't mess up our orders at all and she was really nice. She kept our waters filled and after a while, another worker made sure our waters were filled too.I got the veggie burger since most things on the menu didn't interest me. I got it with a side salad but the vinaigrette was acidic for me so I couldn't finish. I loved the burger though! It was beyond meat.The rest of my table mates got breakfast since they were still serving it or other items on the menu. I got the chance to try the fries which came with an aioli and ketchup. So good! I do like the vibe here though. Tons of outdoor patio seating and I like the indoor area since the had the games on. It's cute! They also had a good playlist in the background. Tons of Britney Spears.They're still developing the area so there didn't seem to be much around here but we found parallel parking really easily just a caddy corner across the street.

Good crowd any day of the week and great bartender. Food is decent - I think the brunch is better than the lunch/dinner menu. We ordered the pierogis to start and they looked amazing but were less flavorful than they looked - still good though! I ordered a shrimp taco and a short rib taco. The short rib taco was awesome - highly recommend! The pickled cucumbers were such a good added texture and pop. The shrimp taco was "meh". My husband got the burger and he enjoyed it - was cooked to his liking and flavorful and said he'd order again.

Nice looking space. Dinner was on the noisy side. I had the seafood chowder. Ordered the cup. Just know realizing that I was charged for a bowl. Overall, it was bland and not much seafood. Also ordered the Pierogies appetizer. The three pirogues were a good size. Filled with a creamy mix of cheese, potato, butter and sour cream. It was topped with caramelized onions. Texture was nice. Onions could have given it the kick it needed but it too was bland. Server was pleasant but not the most attentive.

Very cute efficient restaurant with convenient parking on Cleveland's west sideWe love a restaurant that sticks with reservation times because what's the point of having a reservation when you have to wait....But we sat outside and our service was great he was attentive and never left us waiting.We ordered the mini donuts and capriccio for appetizers.For entree we had chicken and French toast and I believe it was called your plate which you can build your own meal a few drinks and mocktails later and we where satisfied!!! Will be back

After reading the other reviews, I'm wondering if I ordered the wrong thing. I was really wanting some eggs for brunch and decided to go for the breakfast quesadilla. When it came out, it honestly looked like something I would get at McDonalds or a fast food spot. It was very, very bland and although it came with guacamole and salsa on the side, those weren't very flavorful either. I dunno, I was not impressed and was really bummed because I rarely go out for brunch anymore and high expectations.That being said, their outside patio is amazing and the service was great. I might be back, who knows.

The food looked amazing but was actually pretty average. I was excited to eat because of how busy it was. I assumed the crowd meant the food was good. I could've done better at home. The servers were kind and the place was clean. We sat outside because inside was packed. Beware, make a reservation if you can because seating isn't guarantee.

Great atmosphere and food! We had a reservation and were seated right away on a Friday night. Try the chicken sandwich, it's really tasty.

The food was very good, service was good, and the wait staff was friendly. The fried food was not quite as crispy as I would like and a bit greasy. Other than that, it was a great experience. The Mother Mary Bloody was a meal in itself!

Southside is consistently a good place to get food in Tremont. They have good brunch with average prices. Make sure to look at the brunch menu instead of the regular menu online for more information. I got the apple cider mimosa and it was amazing. The food all around was good. Only complaint is how long it took to get sat. We didn't have a huge party but it took 40 minutes, thankfully we grabbed seats at the bar to wait but wish we could've by passed that because the music is so loud you can't hear anything. Regardless they are a good choice and they have a parking lot attached to them.
