What's not to love about this family-run and-owned restaurant. The food, phenomenal; the service, the best I've had in a long time; the ambiance, a nice local cafe feel. We honestly had the best food and best experience of any meal on our entire vacation. We will certainly be back every single year going forward. We had 2 kids in our group and they made sure they brought out their food first, an often overlooked and forgotten practice by many places. Everyone in our group of 9 loved everything they got. My grilled platter was excellent. The carrot cake is out of this world. I can't recommend this place enough. We'd come here if anywhere within 45 min of this place. read more

The food was excellent. We ordered the Prime rib special and Grouper and Shrimp Meal. Both were perfect. I wasn't a fan for the Cole slaw. Recommend the salad. It was a large portion and a perfect start to the meal. Service was sensational. Everyone was courteous. And the ambience was like I was at home. Definitely a 4.7. Sorry that I could only give you a 4 or a 5. read more

Locally owned restaurant with great local flare and awesome food. My family and in-laws had a mixture of regular menu items and the daily specials; all food was excellent with no exception. The baked potato was fried, which gave a unique texture. The service was great; we were given a picture of sweet tea with because four of us had that as our beverage. The grilled shrimp, BBQ platter, grilled grouper mango, and mixed grill were all excellent. The carrot cake is homemade, which was amazing. Both owners talked with us during our visit. Give this place a try if you want good food. read more

The biggest hidden gem in the area!! The food was amazing!! I got the T-bone and my wife got the grouper and shrimp! Everything and I mean everything was cooked perfect including the baked potato, kids chicken strips, homemade honey mustard. The service was the best we had in Myrtle and murrells inlet. I think the entire staff can by our table. The desserts at the end were the best we ever had. The coconut cream pie was better than Kaminsky's in Charleston in their hay day and the carrot cake is everything that everyone raves about. If I could give this place an extra star I would. read more

WONDERFUL! DELICIOUS!! FRIENDLY FAMILY-OWNED establishment. We are in Surfside many times per year and so glad we finally tried this place. The food was fresh, hot and amazing. Also very reasonably priced based on what we normally pay for seafood around here. I can't remember having a nice meal in this town under $100 in quite a while! We both had the fisherman's platter - shrimp, grouper and crab cakes - can order it fried or grilled. Crab cakes - best I've had in any restaurant. Deep fried baked potatoes!!! Wow - who thought of that? Makes the skin so delectable. Took a huge piece of homemade carrot cake home to eat later since we were so full. It was super moist and very good. While there, multiple members of the family came out to check on us and chat. This delightful place will definitely become one of our go-to's on our rotation when we are in town. FYI - there is no bar or alcohol served but they allow BYOB wine or beer (no alcohol). read more

After a 10 Hour drive and not stopping to eat we were all starving. Checked out Yelp for great restaurants that aren't a chain. I came across this place and I'm so happy I did. We were warmly welcomed, and told it won't be too long for a table. My daughter had her Jets hat and shirt on, Rick, one of the owners made sure to let them know they are not Jets fans. He is a character, very funny. Everyone there is so nice, it's a family run business. Food was delicious and hit the spot. If we lived in the area we would definitely return. Jenna was great and very attentive. read more

This place was a little out of our way on our last vacation. Our son in law told us this place had the best carrot cake he'd ever eaten. He was absolutely correct ! I ordered a ribeye, it wasn't in the menu but the owner said he had one he could make for me and it was delicious. The carrot cake was just amazing and I'll never visit this area without stopping there for my carrot cake "fix". The staff was just outstanding, the service was prompt and friendly and the atmosphere was just perfect for a large family. read more

Super friendly staff. Enjoy your meal, stay for the dessert. Especially the carrot cake. Simply amazing. Every desert is made by hand in-house. Let me repeat, made by hand! read more

Family run, mom and pop business. So friendly and engaging owners and staff!! Food is home cooked. Desserts are wonderful and prepared by the owner daily. Definitely recommend. read more

A must go place! Over-the-top (in a great way) caring service. Delicious dish of grouper and crab. Surprising special baked potato. Good Cole slaw. To DIE FOR carrot cake. They do food the right way. I'll be back (maybe tomorrow!) read more

Southside Grill - American Near Me - Murrells Inlet, South Carolina

Love the family vibe! Good food and service. Order dessert first, you wont be disappointed. We love the cheesecakes (any flavor has been delicious) and carrot cake! read more

Low key, casual, very family-oriented. Everyone is really kind and attentive. They are not lying about this carrot cake. It is the best carrot cake I've ever had in my 50 years, and I have had a lot of carrot cake because it is in my top 3 fave cakes. It is worth the trip. Just do not skip it. Do not. Black walnuts change everything. Unbelievable. The other thing that was absolutely incredible was the homemade dressing. I could literally drink it. So delicious. The pierogi appetizer was quite yummy, and we all enjoyed comfort food entrees. We had a great time and will be back. read more

We tried Southside Grill for the first time yesterday and we will be back! We were greeted quickly, menu looked good, prices were good, and servers were there immediately. We both had the seafood combo( crabcake, shrimp and grouper). The food was excellant, the grouper was cooked perfectly as was the shrimp and the crabcake was full of crabmeat, just enough filler to hold it together. Sides were good as well. Servers were friendly and very attentive, the owner and manager, checked on everyone. It was obvious there were a lot of regulars, they just earned 2 more! read more

A favorite whenever I am in town. This place never disappoints and always look forward to coming here. Family owned and ran. No alcohol served but you can bring your own. Small menu but everything is awesome. I have about tried it all at this point and have never been dissatisfied. The homemade desserts are a must! read more

Food is fast and delicious! I ordered the fisherman's platter and hubby ordered the Pittsburger. The seafood was grilled to perfection. (Crabcake, shrimp and grouper) The burger was juicy and delicious. Make sure you leave room for dessert! Their in house cakes and pies are a perfect ending to a delicious meal. I definitely would come back next time I'm in town! read more

Always so perfect! The staff, the food, the whole environment in this restaurant is perfect. Always feel so welcomed when we're here. The food is unbelievable good and is made fresh. The best crab cake I have ever ate too. Also, if you're new to this restaurant try the deep fried baked potato. LEAVE ROOM for dessert because it's all made from scratch. read more

Absolutely a gem of a small local restaurant! Super attentive and friendly staff! Seated quickly and had the appropriate amount of server check-ins to make sure we were all set. I had the blue cheese burger and my bride had a reg cheeseburger and they were absolutely delicious! The potato salad is a must have and probably the best I've ever had! We were a little concerned with the Pittsburg, PA theme being Washington Capitals fans but our dining experience was amazing! ;). We will be coming back! The one photo we grabbed was of our slice of blackberry cheese cake. Save room for dessert! You don't want to miss out on their cheesecakes. read more

Southside Grill - Blackberry Cheesecake!!! Amazing! - American Near Me - Murrells Inlet, South Carolina

We decided to try this place due to the great reviews and were not disappointed. 3 of us had the grilled fisherman's platter, and 1 had grouper a la kim. Everything was great. The platter had a large grouper filet, 3 nice shrimp, and 1 delicious crab stuffed crab cake. It came with a nice salad, baked potato, and canned green beans (the only item that was disappointing, but would not discourage me from ever going). The grouper a la kim was covered in crabmeat and some cheese. It is also excellent per my sister in law. The staff is wonderful, most from Pittsburgh, PA, and the place is decorated with a lot of Pittsburgh sports memorabilia. The place is also BYOB, beer and wine. I suppose I should have led with that. read more

Had the cheeseburger last night and it was delicious and huge-Everything you get at this hidden gem is amazing. The staff is friendly and all desserts are homemade and to die for. You must give them a try and order the baked potato as has coating on outside that makes crunchy and so favorable. You won't be disappointed. Hours ate Wed-Sat 4:30 to 8pm read more

One and done. Pricey food, service was not good, ambience was terrible. Tried their carrot cake. Not impressed.

I wanted to look a little outside of Myrtle Beach for dinner tonight. Browsed Murrells Inlet and found this little gem. I admit, I was skeptical while we waited for our food (my restaurant-snob meter was turned all of the way up). I went on a limb and ordered the fried grouper plate with a baked potato and salad with blue cheese and hubby ordered the grilled fisherman's platter. The salad: Very Good. Lettuce was fresh and pretty sure the blue cheese was homemade. Fried Grouper: Out of this World Delicious. The fish tasted so fresh and it was fried to perfection. The batter was so light and crispy. I never order fried fish, but I'd make the trip back here for it over and over again. Baked Potato: Yum. Not sure what's going on with the skin, but I need all of my potatoes cooked this way Green Beans: I wish I had just asked them to hold the beans, as not to waste them. I'm not a big fan and everything else was more than filling and delicious. Hubs' plate: (his words)- "seasoned well, cooked perfectly and tasted great". We read a previous review that didn't speak highly of the crab cakes, and we both disagree with whomever wrote that. My husband let me try a bite of his and it was delicious! The service: I think everyone in the restaurant stopped by to check on us. The owners/staff were so friendly and attentive. One sweet lady asked us if we had saved room for dessert and told us that she baked them all herself. So of course we took one for the team. The carrot cake: ranks in my top 3 ever. Texture was perfect, not sickeningly sweet, and the icing was incredible. Worth ALL of the calories. We made fast friends with the family that runs this business and we are looking forward to coming to visit again when we're back in town. *the Winston-Salem couple* read more

Drove in from Asheville where we spent a few days. Hanging in Myrtle Beach area for a few more. This is by far the friendliest and BEST restaurant we've eaten at. Family owned and they all work there too. Super nice, great sense of humor and again, GREAT service and food! HIGHLY recommend going there instead of anywhere on the tourist strips! read more

This place feels like home. Every one in there is so friendly and welcoming. The food was good too! I would recommend and also will visit again next time I'm in town. read more

The food was excellent, everyone in my party was pleased with their food. We went on a Monday for $5 burgers. My cousin ordered a fish sandwich and it was delicious and huge!!...I will be back with my large party!!!! read more

Awesome place to eat and very reasonable!! Family run with a Pittsburgh vibe. Food is excellent and the service is outstanding. The owners: husband and wife and their two daughters were super friendly and attentive to our every need! Had the fisherman's platter grilled...the shrimp and fish were great and the crabcake was over the top! Met some friends from back home and had a great time!!! It is BYOB brown bag. I highly recommend and will definitely go back!! read more

We chose to eat at this establishment because of the Yelp reviews and, oh my goodness, what a perfect decision! The family owner and run establish is just about perfect. Bridgette, the hostess, was attentive and an absolute delight. read more

So all of the employees were so nice! The place was packed with locals and the atmosphere was really inviting. I went specifically for a crab cake, and was happy to see they had one on the menu. Unfortunately, it was the oddest crab cake I have ever tried (and I've eaten TONS of crab cakes). It was very thin and soft. Definitely more like a spread than a cooked crab cake. I couldn't eat it due to the texture. It was not was I was looking for. So while my food experience was not good, the people and the place were nice and maybe they just make crab cakes like that? I'm not sure, but wasn't for me. read more

I read the good reviews of this restaurant so tried it since I live a few miles from it . And I am from Steubenville which is a town about an hour away from Pittsburgh which is where the owners are from and the interior of the restaurant is decorated with pictures and signs from Pittsburgh. I had a fish sandwich with fries which was 14 .00 . I actually went to try their pierogis but they said they were frozen not made there so I have frozen ones in my freezer , so no on those. They push their, I guess homemade deserts for 8.00 a slice , But didn't try any , I think my Bill came to 16 .00 and I noticed they charged a fee for me using my credit card. So all in all probably won't go back I Thought the small menu was kinda pricey and food was just ordinary. read more

Great food. Good atmosphere with owners serving and checking customers often. Very casual. Desserts are awesome and homemade.

Casual and delicious. The homemade pierogies are to die for as is the fish sandwich and burgers!

Really a pleasant surprise. Price perfect and the food quality was right on for the price paid. Home made coconut cream pie is great

Good food and always a show!!! Family run and I mean family. Great specials and the delicious desserts are homemade!

Great restaurant! Service, food, everything was wonderful. Looking forward to going back.

Service was super friendly and efficient. Food was a great value - we split a fisherman's platter for $26 and that was plenty of food. The fish, shrimp, and crab cake were all excellent. We finished it off with their award winning carrot cake (#8 in Southern Livings 15 best carrot cakes) and it was one of the best carrot cakes we have ever had. Ambiance was "nice diner" - nothing fancy but clean and neat. No "low points". Will be back for sure. read more

Brought here by family who lives in the area and I do believe we found a hidden gem. Shhhh don't tell anyone. Or tell everyone...just save me a seat. Reservations are recommended as there isn't a lot of seating inside. But we were able to get a nice table right in the center. It was cool because I believe the staff is all family and that's fun. They had some daily specials and because it was Valentine's weekend we got 2 can dine for $30 I think...and I thought that was a good deal. Plus the kids got a plate of free cookies. I had the prime rib and I forget what my husband got, tuna maybe? We also got fried pickle appetizers and a couple of their desserts which were homemade and AWESOME. The vibe was very chill and it felt like we were in someone's house with family just relaxing and enjoying good food. It's BYOB so that made it better because one thing this area gauges you on is alcohol in a restaurant. So here we have good food at a great price. Good vibes from family. And no price gauging on our wine. I'll definitely be back when we're able to dine in again! read more

Went there with a out of state friend a little before 8pm on a 710/2019 Wednesday night. Open light was on. Didn't check the hours of operation, just heard the food was good. Opened the door. Walked in (3 of us) and a older man looked at me like I was a alien. Looked me up and down and said "Yes, can I help you"? I was like yeah table for 3. He then looked like he was about to explode and said I guess we can let you get a table. I looked and him and said we will leave. He said thank you. Hey bud, you lost some locals today. I promise I'll let everyone I know who comes and visits us to take their business else where. Great job on customer service. You could have just said "Sorry, we're closing". But you looked like you was ready to fight. Good luck. What a joke. read more

Good is great. All homemade! Family owned and very friendly ! Will definitely go back and be a regular!!
