I paid for drinks we didnt even drink we left because we were under the impression we were taking too long for the waitress liking when she walked away from the table she rolled her eyes, I then told them i would pay for the drinks we ordered and We were leaving, as we were leaving the hostess scarcastically said to us "have a good night...or not" very very rude customer service very unhappy with our experience would not recommend it, besides bad customer service the food is expensive 7.49 for a piece of meat and a bun no fries no toppings! I read all the reviews ans decided on this place on the reviews and im so disappointed!

We like to go here because there are a wide variety of food options available. The prices are good and they are very generous with the food. Favorites are seafood gumbo, cheeseburger soup, shrimp poboy, steak night, best shrimp creole of anywhere in South Louisiana, but they only serve it once a month. We love their oniin rings, fried mushrooms and spunach and artichoke dip...be sure to order salsa and spur cream with it. Nice combo. My recommendation to them is to put shrimp creole on menu as a regular dish and to offer a soup/ sandwich/salad combo option...ex...cup of soup, half poboy.

This is what I would call the locals gathering place. Always smiles around the bar, social atmosphere. Great place to watch the game! Food selection is great and some really good specials to check out each week. Their spaghetti and (huge) meatballs are not only good but a very good value. My suggestion is to make room in the fridge for the leftovers before you go, there will be something for tomorrows lunch - or midnight snack. Saturday is steak night - they do it right. Wed. is bike night. The bar - I love their bloody marys!

Great food and large portions! Ate here while in the area for work and was very impressed overall. Fishermen type atmosphere; plenty decoration throughout to keep your eye occupied while youre there. We went on a Tuesday around 1:30-2:00 and the place was pretty well occupied, but not so full that we had to wait to be seated. Seemed to be an older/retiree crowd when we went, but Im sure its subject to day/time. Seared tuna salad did not disappoint! Will be back next time Im in the area!

Went to the restaurant, Saturday night January 9th. The food was excellent. My husband & I both had the fried shrimp & fish. When I tell you it was so delicious. Seasoned great, cooked perfectly. It was my 1st time at the restaurant, I was extremely pleased. Will be telling co-workers & friends. I was overwhelmly satisfied about the food. Hats off to the cook. My waitress was ok. I think you guys were a lil busy because my drink was a lil watery but other then that, KUDOS!!!!!

We Love everything about this place! Menu is great with plenty of options to chose from that will just about satisfy anyone. Service is always consistently great! Always daily specials and constant additions to the menu. Owners and management are possibly the nicest people you will ever meet. General Manager personally walks around the restaurant greeting customers and asking about their experience. A local hotspot for sure for a reason. Overall just a great place in general!

Ive been coming here off and on for as long as I can remember. Maybe 13 years, but I forget. Ive never had a bad meal. Service is great too. Ive come here with a party of just two. Ive come with my wife and toddler. Ive come with a party of twelve. Theyre always consistent. Always tasty. Portions are large. Always have leftovers. The restaurant is decked out with photos of WWII veterans (mostly Marines) and plaques and model planes and all sorts of neat stuff.

I am ashamed to say how much we ate here, but I wont hesitate to tell you how tasty it was. Only a very few minutes off of I-10 but well worth the effort. This is a mom and pop, home cooking type of food restaurant with fine dinning recipes. It was packed with locals when we were there but they managed the volume well. Seats a lot of people. We could have eaten three meals there for the price of one of equal taste in Sandestin.

This is the first first time I have ever been here... really like the atmosphere.... We have the crawfish balls and stuff mushrooms which I will have again on our next visit. We did sit at the Bar and had great service. The menu seems to be very extensive but everything we saw that came out of the kitchen looked really good! We cannot wait to come back and they more of everything!

The service is excellent, the food is simply AMAZING! Try their Rueben, Ponchartrain Pig, and the Big Mo Jamma. They have a nice environment, with a Marine theme. The seafood is simply fabulous. The wait staff is very friendly. My waitress, Ashley T. was friendly, took care of me, and got every order correct. You HAVE to to eat here!!

Great food and great service in a fun atmosphere with really great prices! A group of 6 of us (4 adults and 2 kids) hopped over there from New Orleans to catch a parade. There was no wait even with a packed house. The food and service were excellent and we had a great time at the restaurant and the parade. Well be back.

Found out about this place from one of the owners sons that I was friends with in high school. He took me here a few times and it quickly became one of my favorites on the Northshore. Ive come here dozens of times in the last 6 years or so and the quality has always been consistent. Great job!

We ordered a full size catfish poboy and half size shrimp poboy with a side of fries; sandwiches were great but the fries were pretty yucky. The total was $24.97 and although they have military service member pictures and decorations throughout they do NOT offer military discount...odd.

This was an excellent place to go for cheap, local food. My daughter ordered the shrimp and crabmeat linguine and I had the yellow fin tuna with Mac & Cheese and seafood gumbo. All of it was excellent!!! I will visit that place again when we travel back down to the area.

Very clean and casual. Good menu with lots of choices from sandwiches to seafood platters. Portions are large and food tasted fresh and well prepared. Atmosphere is sports barish with a full bar and tvs. Lots of families here eating and great marine coeps decor. Hoorah!

We had a delightful dinner here Tuesday and the food was very good at very good prices. Our waitress was Lauren and we cannot say enough about her service. She was amongst the very best we have ever experienced. Delightful, timely, and thorough. Lauren was the best.

I have lived in Slidell Louisiana my entire life and if not my favorite restaurant my top two would be Southside Cafe the atmosphere is great and the food is even better I recommend a sandwich called the Pontchartrain pig. Thank you so much have a great day.

Came in from out of town and the front desk at my hotel recommended this place. They were spot on. I sat at the bar and had a nice chat with some locals. Had the fried shrimp and and the Irish Bayou gumbo. Everything was delicious. You gotta eat here.
