We went to South Gate for a late lunch on Father's Day and the food was decent. The only complaint would be the salad made my step mom sick. Though the place felt "clean" it would have just been better to sit outside all together during COVID 19. read more

Visiting the area for the weekend, and stopped by for lunch. Crab dip is just "OK". The bread served with it was a great choice. My onions rings were very good. My husband got the turkey Reuben sandwich and he really enjoyed it. If visiting again will I come back? Probably not read more

Head waitress(blond w/ An attitude) is horrible and super rude - talked to us like we were children and embarrassing unprofessional

Southgate Grill sits in a location that has been haunted by terrible restaurants in the past. However, don't let that make you stay away. Southgate Grill is completely different and really is a nice place to grab something to eat in a casual setting in the Pines, There is a lot of light at any of the tables during the day and before the sunset (of course)! The servers are very friendly and service is fast. Lots of great options on the menu, including build your own burger, or build your own salads! I really enjoy the build your own salad option with blackened chicken. The salad is huge and the chicken is still warm, nice and spicy sitting on top of the salad and vegetables you have chosen for your lunch or dinner. Definitely just what the Pines needed! read more

Wonderful grill in an easily accessible location and the friendly town of Berlin MD. Specials are the best value. Recommend the appetizers such as the potato skins, with a choice of cheese or seafood. I loved my lobster po boy sandwich, very plentiful and tasty. We got our food very quickly, thanks to Emily's outstanding service! Music playing is classic rock, my favorite. Busy place and understandably so! read more

Hostess told us to order takeout at the bar. So I sat at the bar and was looking at the menu. When bartender asked me what I wanted to drink, I told her I was ordering food to go. She then said well I am going to go take drink orders first, before your order- I'll be back. I said OK- I waited and then she came back and said if you're not drinking, you have to go stand down at the corner of the bar and order from there and not take up a barstool. There were other barstools available. I thought it was very rude. It was almost like she told me I had to stand in the corner so I walked out. read more

Beautiful location in west O harbor. Pretty standard menu. Cobb salad and French fries are my go to. Service has always been good. Would recommend making a reservation during summer season. read more

This place is an amazing hidden gem in Ocean Pines (near Ocean City). Family friendly. High quality comfort food - sandwiches, salads, hamburgers and a variety of daily specials. It sits right on the man made lake and there is even outdoor seating and a outdoor covered bar. We came here for lunch and I had the hamburger and chips. Yum! Very generous patty size with the usual options: lettuce, tomato, onions (raw or grilled), cheese, mayo, mustard, horseradish. Our waitress was Teena Q. and she was wonderful! Great value and excellent food. read more

This was one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had. My friend ordered the steak sandwich and it came out with a full ribeye that hadn't been cut and was way over cooked. My back street sandwich came on a croissant but it was a bite sized pastry that couldn't contain nearly all of the sandwich. Both of my other friends ordered a burger medium-rare and it came well done and completely dry. Overall, I would never recommend this place unless you enjoy waiting an hour to get a plate of horrible food that was thrown together by a poorly operated kitchen. The place was empty and even so, they couldn't get any of our food out in a timely manner. This place should really be featured on kitchen nightmares. read more

I only give it 2 stars because the food is decent. We have eaten here in the past. Tried to have dinner there with my wife and our 2 teenagers. After ordering soft drinks and sitting for 15 minutes, Forget it. Told the older lady rolling silver that we were leaving, couldn't get drinks. She didn't say a word, just walked away. On our way out, my wife said there's our server. She was entertaining the people playing trivia in the bar area. Still didn't have our drinks! I cannot wait for the new place to open in the old Pizza Hut location. Unless you sit at the bar, don't go. Service has never been very good. And management seems to be uninvolved, unless you count the ones outside smoking. read more

Sunday night after a busy weekend wasn't the time to go as they were out of many favorites. That being said the crab dip and jambalaya were great, fantastic wings and French dip too. Crab cakes were very underwhelming. read more

Food is good most of the time. Reasonable drink prices. Nice atmosphere. Always have specials. Pot roast Tuesday . Very good.

This place is great if you are in the area and craving some basic American eats! When we saw that the awful Mexican restaurant was gone and was being replaced we had to come by and give it a try. Portions are generous, prices are very fair (especially for a beach community that tends to jack up prices at many of their local restaurants), service is friendly, and most importantly the food is good. My favorite thing about their menu is they have a build your own salad, burger, or sandwich option in addition to the signature dishes already listed. We will definitely be back! Side note: they haven't officially opened yet so if you come by please keep in mind that they are currently training new employees and working out kinks in their kitchen so expect to wait a bit to be seated & for your drinks/food. It's worth it. read more

I have been to the Southgate Grill 9-10 times since they've opened. I have always enjoyed the atmosphere and delicious food. We visited Labor Day weekend and had one of the worst dining experiences of my life. We ordered the special for the night "tuna". It came out and tasted like fish flavored cardboard. We were so disappointed... the waiter never came to ask how the food was. After everyone else was done eating we made mentioned how terrible the fish was. We ate less than half of the fish and didn't want to make a big deal about it. We were informed that they would do something about it for us. When the check came out to us not only didn't they do anything for us they charged me for a side salad. I asked why there was an up charge and got oh sorry I should of mentioned that salads are an up charge for a side. I was so irritated by the lack of care/compassion the manager never came to talk to us. Most of the people in our party were local residents and regulars at the restaurant. I hope things swing back in a positive direction we hate going in town to eat out and love going to locally owned establishments. BTW I never expected anything for free and would have been happy to pay... but just come out and make your clients feel appreciated. Sorry to complain! read more

Couldn't sit outside bc it was too crowded but we had a great bartender inside at the bar. Ate crab fries and drank some local beer. Also had a creamsicle crush that the bartender made right in front of us. Lots of TVs with sports, attentive bartender, and a solid music playlist in the background made for a great late night appetizer dinner. read more

Absolutely awful, don't go here!!! Steak came out basically raw and had it sent back, came back still very pink. Crab cake wasn't good and neither was the service. The only thing I enjoyed were the fries which shouldn't be hard to screw up. read more

Great value! $6.99 for a hamburger and chips that was not only a tasty, but a good size. The blackened shrimp tacos were also good, but a little small. Kids meals were good too. Fries were the standard fresh cut boardwalk type fries that were a little too greasy. Overall great experience sitting outside on the patio by the pond. read more

For 2 apps, 2 large meals, and 3 drinks we only paid $40. The service was quick and delicious. Our waitress tori was incredibly helpful in helping us decide our meals and choices. The honey mustard is amazing!!!! Would def come back read more

I have warmed up to this place! Initially, it seemed "cold" to me and the menu so-so. Over time though, I have come to really enjoy the Southgate Grill. Service is good and I especially like the Asian Salad & Jambalaya. Due to their growing popularity, parking can be an issue. Since we frequently order carry out, I have suggested to them to specify one parking space for carry out pick-up. So far, that has fallen on deaf ears... read more

We tried the seafood skins, which is potato halves stuffed with crab imperial and shrimp, topped with provolone cheese and baked, with sour cream for dipping. We had to ask for Old Bay because it was pretty flavorless, especially the shrimp. I sprinkled the seasoning on top, and mixed it into the sour cream. After I did that, it was really, really tasty. The meatloaf happy hour special was reminiscent of a school meal, or a visit to a retirement community. However, I still like it. read more

Sitting here at 812pm on 4th of July Sunday. They have a guitar player. Really really wish this guy could play something after 1980. Sucks UPDATE: 11 months since I wrote this and i wonder what i was thinking. I might not have loved the music but I notice I keep going back. The food is consistently above average. read more

One of the best dining experiences we have ever had. Josh was by far the best waiter we have ever experienced - incredibly personable, enthusiastic and attentive to the entire experience. Josh is a true professional who made my grandparents 60th anniversary one to remember. Monica, one of the hostesses, was also incredible. A true professional who makes us feel like part of the family - all 25 years. read more

Went to just pick up carry out. No curbside pick up, had to get from bartender. Bar sitting was packed, shoulder to shoulder patrons and no one wearing masks except servers and bartenders. Not Covid safe at all. Will not be ordering from there again. read more

I have been to Ocean city my entire life each year. This year I decided to venture out and travel to Berlin. I went for a walk around South gate pond and came across this restaurant nearby called South Gate grill. Zayna and Lauren served me on the outside bar, which is on the water, and gave me exceptional service. Also, I ordered a blt salad and a make your own burger, which both of them were incredible! For anyone traveling to OC, I recommended them come out to this restaurant because the staff and food made the trip ten times better. I give it 5 stars! read more

Currently here just me and my mom and we're going on a 30 minute wait just for 2 appetizers!! It's a Saturday night got here at around 8. Seated 8:15. It's now 9pm and have only gotten our drinks. Thank god we only ordered appetizers as our meals. I couldn't imagine how long an actual entree would take. The waitress was very nice. Just need a better or more staffed kitchen read more

My family loved this place. The menu was not humongous but what they offered was enough to make all 7 of my family happy. The prices were the best that I have seen in all of Ocean Pines. The service was amazing and the location was extremely clean. I myself ordered a corned beef ham and swiss cheese sandwich on pumpernickel with potato chips and it only came to $6. My sandwich was loaded with meat and cheese and I can't wait to go back to this place. There is no kids menu but for the prices of their meals , your kids can order a regular meal for almost the same price as an adult. I would highly recommend this establishment to anybody whether you are looking for a dinner for two or a dinner for your family. I loved it and can't wait to go back. If I had any complaints , it would be that my vacation was over and I couldn't return until next year. read more

Ordered take out burgers. The bun ruined an otherwise top notch burger. It fell apart and was not delicious. I suggest they get a new burger bun vendor. read more

Southgate Grill has very good selection of food to choose, as well for drink selection. All of the food is local and homemade, fresh to order. The place is very well located in the shopping center, but limited parking due to other businesses. During the summer, they have a patio on the water (small pond) with bar, serving drinks while live music is playing. read more

The Bull. Great place to dine and meet the locals. We had there crab soup which was very good thick and loaded with crab. The Mahi tacos and coconut shrimp and grilled Reuben were very good. But all of the food came out at the same time. A no no when dining. They need to correct. read more

We heard VERY good things about SouthGate but had never stopped in. Friday night my adult daughter and I did and it was FANTASTIC! Our servers were right at our table, food was EXCELLENT and came out quickly! They were busy, as SHOULD BE EXPECTED - and were right 'on their game'. I live around the corner as well. Good Job ! Will DEFINITELY BE BACK - our new favorite! 'CLEAN AND SERENE' ATMOSPHERE.

WE were NOT disappointed! 5 STARS for sure. read more

I absolutely loved my Caesar salad with blackened chicken. 10/10 recommend. Prices are reasonable. Loved my dinner.

This is such a good place. Friendly staff and very attentive. The food is outstanding. I had the shrimp ravioli..not to be missed. My partner had the ale battered shrimp..cooked perfectly. Don't drive past this gem. read more

"Off their game" - if I had to describe Southgate in three words, those would work! I was looking forward to trying this venue for the first time. The layout and offerings on their menu was appealing, and the prices seemed extremely reasonable. Before I describe my actual visit, I will preface my rating with the following: it was a Thursday evening in mid-July on a VERY hot day. Our visit was around 6:30pm... there was a considerable wait for a table, so thankfully the bar had 2 open spots. The bartender, while friendly, clearly was overwhelmed. He definitely needed a bar-back to assist him with washing glasses. He took our order quickly, but we easily waited almost 10 minutes before our beers arrived. While we had his attention, we ordered two apps: wings and cheese fries. The wings were decent, but the fries were very salty: covered with fake, liquid cheese, bacon bits, and scallions. I was tempted to try a salad, and after seeing other salads being delivered with far too much dressing, I opted for the taco salad. There was NO imagination to it: a bed of iceberg lettuce with chili over it, shredded cheddar cheese, tomatoes, and about 12 small, round tortilla chips placed around the plate's edge. It was lackluster at best. I would recommend this place to those just looking for a quick, casual bar visit that includes beers and simple appetizers. Their dinner menu is very simple, so if you're okay with that, you'll have an "okay" time. read more
