South Beach Grill

Basically was just a hole in the wall bar. Played loud music and everyone was seated around the bar area. Got a beer and the waitress couldn't even pronounce the name of the only IPA there were but she was friendly and kept checking on us but we came to eat dinner and we decided against eating food on the greasy table and loud music and bar folk talking. Wouldn't go back.

Last night I had the chance to check out this "local" bar for the Rush Tribute (done by Deja). I've never been to this bar, but have driven past it several times. The place was packed to the hilt, staff did a great job making sure the drinks were flowing (very little wait time) and that the crowd was behaving. This place offers weekly specials and last night was no different. $10 B-B-Q plate (chicken, pulled pork, and ribs) with coleslaw. Not a bad deal for delicious BBQ, and a large portion at that! The place was packed. But from what I saw, you need to arrive early if you want a place to sit. Rail seating at the bar is plentiful, and there are a few booths and tall table tops as well. Parking is extremely limited in front but there is additional parking out behind the bar. I've only visited this place once, so I'll need to go back and check it out on other nights to upgrade this review...should it meet the 5 star review "bar"

Came here many years ago and recently. The staff is friendly. The food is good. And the live music is a plus.

Just had the best time at the South Beach Grill! Amazing hospitality- and great jukebox music!

Would give less than a star if I could. Tables are greasy. Ordered a Mahi sandwich, got a tuna sandwich. When I did get the Mahi sandwich, the Mahi was pink. This place is disgusting and the waitress was rude.

Let me say right off the bat this restaurant isn't getting four stars because of perfect service, cleanliness, or amazing food. They're getting four stars because they were friendly and welcoming and because the experience they provided was highly entertaining and will be remembered by my family for years to come. First off, I'm not a local, and this was very clearly a local joint. Second, we didn't plan on coming here. I was running in a nearby park and my kids were playing. We were disgusting and sweaty but so hungry we didn't want to go shower and change before eating. This did not end up being a problem. So we walk in, and there's a lot of people hanging out at the bar who all seem to know each other. Nobody is at the tables or booths. Nobody is eating. Everyone's a bit older than my husband and I, no kids. We stood there uncertainly for a bit before seating ourselves at a grubby booth (no clean ones to be seen) and my kids were captivated immediately by the tv screen showing an endless montage of puppies while a jukebox played Led Zeppelin in the background. Ok, nice touch, I was in damp workout clothes so kinda hypocritical to complain about the fingernail clipping I found in the seat next to me. Other reviews say the food is good so I'm game. A very friendly waitress greets us and takes our drinks order. My husband remarks afterwards that she seemed drunk or high. She kept forgetting what drinks we'd ordered (two sprites, a beer, and a coke), but got it right in the end. When we go to order food they're out of like half the menu. I'm starting to find it amusing, my first two choices aren't available but they have lumpia so I'm excited to have the kids try that. We place our order and wait, my husband watching the flirtation and attempts at seduction taking place at the bar among the older singles while my younger child squeezes and prods my face for entertainment. Oh, and he also loudly repeated me reading another Yelp review about how locals apparently call this place the Wrinkle Room. Hopefully nobody heard him? We wait a long time. Our waitress is visible here and there, tending bar, talking to a coworker, but no food. We wonder if she's forgotten us. They do seem short staffed but we really aren't sure. Finally our waitress approaches, flustered, explaining other food will be done soon, they're short as staff haven't returned since Covid lockdowns. We recognize this and I smile, tell her it's fine, we were wondering if maybe they were out of something but we're in no rush and as a nurse I totally understand short staffing. Our waitress - wish I could remember her name - will not be soothed. She insists on buying me a beer (just me, not my husband) and though I assure here it's fine and we get it, the beer appears in seconds. So I have to drink it of course. I'm a lightweight and quickly get tipsy. Our food arrives - it's pretty good! Nothing above and beyond, nothing that stands out, but good. They forgot our lumpia. It's fine, turns out our meals are huge anyway. The possibly not sober waitress kindly and happily takes our picture. We eat, another staff member brings us the bill. We leave cash in the table for the bill and tip. I'm dying laughing. I love this place. You should definitely check it out.

If you like dove bars with rock music this place is for you. Older crowd but a good time all around. Cheap drinks.

Made us feel so welcome!We heard the South Beach Grill was great so checked it out on Prime Rib Wednesday. We had a deal of a great meal for $10.99, cooked medium rare as asked. It was just a little bit noisy, with lots of regulars that showed me it must be worth coming back to! Our sweet young server Abigail took great care of us, checked on us often, and used her sweet sense of humor when 90 year old Sam flirted with her. Everyone is so nice! Matt the legend, her boss, goofing around in a blond wig, backed up the servers, keeping everyone in drinks and making sure we all had a wonderful experience. It really was a fun evening, and we are going back next week!

Javanna was very unprofessional and lied to us on Saturday night and they were not even busy. Tanni on the other hand was very quick to serve both of us and was pleasant to chat with. Only 2 stars because of the attitude we received from Javanna. Drinks and food are great there but this is mostly a review of the staff.
