Everything here is great! I've been dining here since I moved to Va in the early 90's. Saturday brucjhand Sunday bruch is also awesome, especially the Bloody Mary's !

William McGhee

I was a great place. I got there a little late and went some other place to watch the Bengals as it was crowded -- a good thing and a sign of it being a great place. Love the menu!

Jody Boudreaux, Realtor

Po-boys & Caesar salads with a creole mustard base dressing . Specials everyday. Casual dining for the entire family. Great atmosphere. Secret dish not on the menu-Cajun Queen Salad .

transiTALK Transportation Media Group

This is hands down the best sit down, home-cooked style food you will come across in Alexandria. From the BBQ Ribs to the Drunken Pot Roast , there is something on the menu for everyone!

Clint H.

Great selection of southern food along with some twists and liberties taken on some dishes. The crawfish po boy was excellent. Sad they dd not have mufaletta. Will come back soon!

Tyler M

Delicious brunch , the chicken and sweet potato waffle special was out of this world

Dereck Parada

The burgers are amazing! The bartenders are great! One of my favorite "go to" places. Can never go wrong.

Erin Cushing

Delicious (and incredibly low-priced) Southern food ! Shrimp and sausage with grits is my favorite, and raw bar Wednesdays can't be beat!

Tim Harvey

One of the best bars of all time. Without a doubt. Location. Bartenders . Food. Crowd. All top-notch.

Daniela Rodriguez

Happy hour was great, but be very very careful on what you order to eat. I and several friends have gotten sick!

Anthony Iaffaldano

Virginia burger is as good as advertised, but ask for a jar of homemade remoulade on the side too. Your fries will thank you.

Steve Dahlgren

Shrimp po'boys and a Swärtzbier are a delicious combo. And half price on Mondays.

Cartier Diamond

Try the Combination Po' Boy - #FatTuesday#PoBoy #Cheapdrinks#foodporn#instafood

Robert Alpigini

While not a big beer selection , they do carry some of the best craft brews around.

Aimee Aimee

The blackened catfish and bread basket were tasty. The meal was less enjoyable because I felt quite rushed by the wait staff . Want to get your money and get you out of there the minute you sit down.

Judi Darnell

Best baby back ribs in all of NOVA.

Todd Maxwell

Food is good. Wednesday is raw bar night. Chili is really good. They have a decent selection of beers .

Jen G

Get the ribs . Fall off the bone deliciousness with a slightly spicy BBQ sauce . So good.

Joseph Kristoffer

Great happy hour : $3 rails, $4 wines , $2-3 drafts , 1/2 off burgers , and $2 mini pulled pork sliders , oyster po' boys , and nachos .

The fried catfish was excellent. ????????

Tyra Williams

The food is wonderful, especially the nachos , and drunken pot roast .

Given the "state of the economy," Southside has extended their Happy Hour to 7:30 instead of 7pm. During HH their burgers are half price (Virginia Burger is AWEsome) and wings are $.35 each. Read more
