We travel all over the county and have to say first and foremost this is a gem. At first glance this place looks a bit dive bar but do not be fooled. The food went beyond expectations and had us ordering more things to try because the execution was at such a high level. It was seat yourself and we were greeted within a few minutes and menus provided. Our server introduced himself and was eager to help us find what to order. Chris was very helpful and a delight. We ordered cocktails which came out and you could tell were made with quality ingredients. We started with a cup of gumbo which was full of flavor and sausage. We ordered a country fried steak with fries and Mac n cheese with roast beef debris (so worth the add on). I asked to have both gravys to try which I’m so glad I did. Roast beef gravy was not overly salty and rich. The white country gravy was thick and peppery. The Mac was perfectly cheesy and creamy. Also ordered a big mo jamma sandwich which had turkey ham and roast beef. You could tell how fresh and daily made everything was. Not a corner cut in this place. After being so amazed we had to try the chili too. A good kick without an abundance of chili powder for the prefect balance. Order the bread pudding and peach cobbler to go. Homemade and delicious ending back at the hotel. Before we left, Chris, one of the owners stopped to thank us for coming in. We have to say our experience is one of the absolute best we have ever had. We will find ourselves coming out of the way to visit here again I promise. Try it out and order everything you can. They absolutely deserve to be high on anyone’s list.

Really good food. Beer was really cold. There was like a 40 minute wait, but that's because they were completely packed, with a lot of people waiting. Was well worth the wait though. Our server, Karly, was amazing as well. Definitely recommend. And get some gumbo.

Great atmosphere. Seafood platter was delicious. Plenty of food for 2 to share. Patio was nice but we got rained out unfortunately. Servers were helpful. Huge menu. Military families welcomed.

If I could do 6 stars, I would. My first time, we looked it up online and do not regret it. I had hall shrimp half later po-boy, my sister had shrimp, my cousin dip French, my niece club( too salty) and mi nephew the kid's burger. We also ordered chicken and andouille sausage gumbo and bread pudding. So delicious extremely satisfied. It was $106 for all of us. Not bad

Great tasting gumbo and grilled catfish. The blueberry cobbler was also delicious. Friendly service. Lots of menu items to choose from. Parking: Plenty of parking.

I stopped on Wednesday evening after picking someone up from the MSY airport. Our server, Payge, was excellent. She helped us get familiar with the menu and explained that Southside Cafe had some special offerings on Wednesdays. We started with an appetizer of Eggplant Parmesan. Delicious. We both ordered the Brisket Burger and all the special toppings were free on Wednesday. Nice. I added a fried egg, two kinds of cheese, bacon, chili (came on the plate as a small side) all on a special bun. Excellent. We shared an order of fries. They have a large selection of bottled and draft beer and on Wednesday they are 1/2 off. My draft beer was ice cold! Great food and reasonable prices. The place has a unique atmosphere, for sure. We hope to return soon.

It was pretty busy when we got there. They said the wait would be around 15 minutes, and we were seated within 10. The waiter was very helpful and generous. The food was exceptional. Everything we tried was good. It was the best place we went to on our vacation.

Stop in! We had 5 happy people and 3 were teens! All of our food was great and our server was amazing too. Glad we drove out of NOLA to find a muffaletta.

It was my first time coming here and I wasn’t disappointed. The wide variety of dishes will give everyone something different and unique to choose from. I had the southern fried steak while my wife had the black and blue poboy. The atmosphere is nice and ideal for sitting down and visiting with friends. There are TVs around the place offering different sports to observe. The staff is kind and attentive. Next time we are in Louisiana this will be on our list to return too.
