Southside Grille

Excellent, far beyond their rather average appearance on the outside. Usual "regular " menu is good and fairly priced. BUT, they have more sophisticated specials on the weekend that are outstanding!

I was out for a ride on my new (to me) motorcycle, and had already gone through the beach to see some of the sights after the hurricanes had come through. Bunnell was on the way home, but I knew of a couple of places along the way that I might be able to stop at and grab a bite to eat.However, I had never been to Southside Grill. It is an unassuming place by the side of the road on the outskirts of town, and you really can easily miss it if you aren't looking hard enough.Pulling in, there was a reasonable amount of parking available. I am sure they get quite a bit of weekend traffic from bikers and the like, but this was a weekday, and the only folks there looked like they were on their way home from a round of golf or something.I chose to eat out on the patio, which is a nice screened-in area on the North side of the building. The inside area which would be air conditioned had a solid diner feel to it, and was kind of dark. I like to read when I am out on my own and having a bite to eat, so having some light is pretty much mandatory... Fortunately the porch had just the right thing for me!Looking over the menu, I found it was what I would call the typical sports bar menu. Burgers, a steak or two, and a couple of other things along with the standard bar-fare appetizers. I went for the fish and chips, as that is a bit of an outlier. It didn't take long for the food to arrive at my table, so no issues there.The fish was excellent. Good flakiness, cooked properly, all the goodness. The fries were... well, they were kind of sad. Limp when they got to me, so a bit under-done which means they were rushed for some reason. Probably a bit of a time management issue in the kitchen. Finished my meal, paid up the bill, and left with a full stomach on the road, traveling along the dead straight highway of US-100 to Palatka and beyond.

First time at this new location since they moved. As soon as we walked in we were greeted an able to sit anywhere we wanted. Once we sat our server cam a took our drink order. The place was cute and clean with a lot of seating. our drinks came right away and we placed our order and the food came out in the timely manner. All the food we had was great. Perfectly cooked and yummy. The service was perfect. We never locked for anything. Our drinks were always full and we were always asked if everything was OK. Highly recommend going there and trying the food. It's great.

Great friendly service and delicious food! We have been twice and both times were very good! They have lots of beers on tap and really good appetizers. It's on the smaller side, but they also have a large outside seating area. We had the steak tips, french dip and kids chicken-grilled. Everything was good, but my meal was the best and would definitely order again! The Ribs!!! They really have amazing BBQ here. It was so good that everyone was wanting my ribs! I think with sauce like this they should do a BBQ on special days of the week. The ribs were tender with that perfect pull off the bone bite. Some places overcook ribs and the meat just falls off, but they had a perfect pull off the bone bite. They also cater to vets and offered a discount, which is beyond kind! This is a wonder classic establishment with a hometown feel. Sorry no pics on this takeout order. We were HUNNNGRRREEEE!

Food was okay, but the fries were well over cooked and dry. We only had two burgers. Service seemed rushed, overwhelmed, unprepared. The place was fairly tidy but upon close look was dusty and it looked like they used dirty waste water to clean the floors. Music was way too loud for a conversation between two people. Overpriced for what you get. 35.00 was my total.

Great Great Great !!! The Second we entered we were greeted by almost all the ladies working that night. Our server recommended Meatloaf and the Fire Jack Wings. The Meatloaf was Delicious and packed with flavor and the Wings were fried and somehow falloff the bone so so good. I recommend this spot if you're with your fam or alone. Also loved the police patches from all over the US. I highly recommend it.

I'll start w the service. DONNA IS SPECTACULAR!!! She was busy but man she just goes!! No matter what she was doing, it was w a smile. It is so great to walk in a small local business, (veteran owned) where they are happy you are there! It is, in the best way possible, a true hole in the wall! It's cute and cozy, the tables are hopping, and the locals are frequent flyers . You instantly feel right at home. The menu is FULL!! Many options. Many fish options, true daily specials, only 1 downfall... the cook is a little heavy on oil, butter, on items so they are a bit greasy if it's a handheld item, but it doesn't take away from the taste. We had several items and none disappointed. Plus it is SO MUCH food!!The best part is you leave w a smile and left overs . We already know what we want to try the next time.

Man was this place packed Saturday. Was hankering for some prime rib, and heard they had it, so we went in. Not sure if that was what brought everyone in, but we got there right before the wait started. Greeted by Amanda who was really friendly. I ordered the king cut of prime medium rare and it was HUGE, MINIMUM of 16oz is my guess. My companions ordered the special and the beef tips. All the dishes looked great, but I only took a picture of mine. 2 times out of 2 visits this place has been a winner.

The food here was excellent, and the waitress was friendly and efficient. My only complaint is on the printed bill handed to us by the waitress, in tiny print it showed a 3.5% surcharge if you want to use your credit card. This was not anywhere else - not on the door, nor on the menu. This needs to be better displayed. Very hard to see just on the bill. If you don't have good eyes or weren't looking for it, you won't see it. Thank you.

We had to make a pit stop before driving into St. Augustine. We took the scenic route from the Turnpike because GPS said it would take us 4 hours and a half to get to St. Augustine. We got there and the place was full of cars. The best friendly service was found in the middle of a vast place. The mahi tacos were seasoned just right. Hearing the crowd greet each other we knew we were in a place for the locals. We felt at home. Now we know where to stop on the next drive up.
