Doesn't look like much on the outside but don't let that stop you. Friendly laid back atmosphere. Everything cooked to order. This is where the locals eat and the locals usually know all the good spots. We had skins to start and they were superb. Salad seemed fresh also not some bagged crap salad. I got the fisherman's dinner and everything was breaded fresh not frozen. The crab cake was just a tad salty but still phenomenal. Shrimp was to die for. My wife got the chicken tenders and fries. Real chicken with real breading again not frozen. Dessert to go BlackBerry cheesecake and carrot cake all homemade. Family run business and will make this a must Everytime I'm back in town read more

We were looking for a smaller, non commercial place to get a good dinner. Thanks to Yelp we did just that. This place was great! First off they are Pittsburg fans so they have to be good! The service was quick and staff very friendly. We had the pork chops with salad, green beans and baked potato. They have a special baked potato and was it good. You have to eat the skin to enjoy the special flavor. The pork chops were grilled and very juicy, seasoned well and cooked to perfection. My wife had the crabmeat quesadilla. It was served with black chips and salsa. The crabmeat was real fresh crab and had great flavor. But the gold medal goes to the homemade cheesecake and carrot cake. Very large portions and fantastic flavor. They staff seemed like a big family. I believe most of them were. The chef/owner came to check on us and asked about the food. I believe his wife makes the desserts. They asked how we found them and they are very proud of their place, food and reputation. AND SO THEY SHOULD BE. We will be back every time we are in town to get a great meal. read more

Excellent choice. Don't judge a book by its cover. Although it is not oceanfront, the food is incredible. Highly recommend the crab cakes and the baked potatoes are amazing. Take the time to eat here. This family run restaurant is so great and very kind staff. Will definitely return on our next trip. read more

This place is very good. Recommended stopping by if you are in the area. People that own the place are very nice. For Pittsburgh fans must visit. read more

Fantastic place. Don't let the outside or inside fool you. When we arrived my expectations dropped. I thought it would be bad ordinary food. OMG was I wrong! The best seafood I have had in all my trips to Myrtle Beach. The chef know what he is doing. A must try. read more

Seafood was delicious. Homemade dessert was outstanding. Their baked potato is a treat within itself.

Awesome small restaurant with great food. Found it from yelp and honestly we had a guru of myrtle beach with us and she said her flounder was the best she's ever had and she's been coming to the beach since she was 5. Seriously wonderful place! Go where the locals go and you're never disappointed here. read more

OMG! Well worth any wait. Rib eye steak was fabulous. Salad was crisp and fresh. Grilled grouper was so tasty, light and flavorful. The baked potato was the best baked potato I have ever had. The desserts are all homemade, according to our waitress. Carrot cake and key lime pie were delicious. We saw the banana cream pie and it looked like it would have been a good choice as well. I would have to say this restaurant will NOT disappoint you. I'm sure you will enjoy your meal here. BYOB or wine. read more

Do not be discouraged by the outside of the restaurant or the parking situation.......the quality of food is AMAZING! Unlike majority of the tourist places in Surfside Beach......everything on the menu at Southside Grill is fresh and made to order. The specials change daily and the homemade desserts are DELICIOUS! My family and I will definitely be back. Thank you for a great evening. ** For Future Reference: Dessert is a MUST.....even if you have to get it to go. Also, Southside Grill does not serve alcohol; however, it is BYOB. You are welcome to bring the beer and wine of your choice. read more

Went there this evening since we hadn't been there for a few weeks. I wasn't real hungry so I decided to try the grilled fish sandwich paired with one of their baked potatoes. Goodness sakes.... the fish was perfectly cooked and didn't soggy up the bun. It fully covered the large bun and actually hung outside the bun. The potato was, as always, incredible. My wife had the Grilled Grouper Mango and cleaned her plate. But the big surprise was the raspberry cheesecake we took home. OMG!!!! It was off the hook. They always have great homemade desserts that we take home but this one was the best yet. Do your tummy a favor and try this wonderful, family operated restaurant. read more

Food was excellent. Everyone at our table loved their choices. We had shrimp, grouper, quesadillas, and crab cakes. Staff is great and very engaging. Have eaten at many restaurants at Murrells Inlet and Southside Grill has better food and better prices!!! read more

Quite literally the best crab cake in surfside and all of Myrtle Beach. There is no filler and I can't quite figure out why no other restraunt can match their vast array of delicious foods. Go here you will not be let down! read more

Thanks to Yelp we found this wonderful family owned dining spot on a rainy night while camping at State Park nearby. Food is every bit as wonderful as the reviews that led us there. Our party of four was impressed with our hamburger steak meals, cheeseburger and grouper special. We were so full we took desserts back to the campground for later. The baked potato is something special too! PS. carrot cake is off the charts read more

This is a great local restaurant that is the kind of place where you want to go that's not a chain or one of the dozens of frozen-sourced seafood buffets that litter King's Highway. The food is great and the service is warm and friendly. I had the seafood dish, which was great - just the kind of platter you would want, and the way they prepare their baked potato is fantastic - worlds better than most places. Everyone else in my family loved their orders as well. Make sure you save room for dessert! It's all locally made and can vary from day to day, but I can guarantee it will be good! Note their limited hours, so make sure that you go when they are open - you will not regret it! Also, it is BYOB - not dry but if you want a brewski with your burger or fish, you have to bring it yourself! But what are you doing still reading this? You should be at the Southside Grill! read more

This little place doesn't look like much from the outside, but wait till you get in! No wait, very friendly staff and atmosphere, incredible food, and amazing cheesecake. So glad we found this place while honeymooning in Myrtle Beach. We had the shrimp and the grouper stuffed with crab meat, and wow, they know how to do seafood. read more

Great find in Surfside. Fisherman's Platter was amazing! So much food for the money spent. I will definitely be back here! When I arrived to pick up my to go order, there was a sign on the door that the kitchen would close at 7:30 due to the Penguins playoff game. I guess the owners are big fans so you may want to call ahead during Hockey season. read more

This place is small but some of the best places are! The Fishermans platter was great and more than enough food to feed two people! The only problem is with parking but don't let that discourage you it's worth waiting for a parking spot to open up! Don't skip the Coconut Cream Pie or the Cheesecake! The owners are VERY friendly and I really wish we stopped the night before! We will be visiting this place again! read more

Absolutely great place to eat in Myrtle Beach area and to us the BEST food in the area! Our family of 6 ate here tonight and we all loved it. Between us we had the Ribeye platter, Shrimp Platter, Chicken Sandwich, Chicken fingers (kids and adult meals), and kids fish meal as well as the fried pickles appetizer. Best steak I have ever had, mouth watering!!!! All the food was made fresh, proven by the great taste! Customer service was exceptional and very friendly. The owners run the restaurant as a family and we talked to all of them while there. Our kids cant stop raving about it. Our only regret is that we didnt find this place until at the end of our trip, after eating at several places that were no where close to this good and cost more. We highly recommend Southside Grill and next time we visit here this will be our first (and maybe only) dinner spot!! read more

Everything we ate was absolutely delicious! Friendly staff, great food and AMAZING carrot cake. I had a flavorful ribeye and many in my party had the crab cakes and couldn't stop raving about it. No frills place with fantastic food - definitely don't miss it. read more

This is one of the best places and jewels in Surfside Beach South Carolina. The owners bend over backwards to help you, as this is a mom and pop organization. Great food at great prices. can't even begin to tell you how much we save by going there. Fabulous food. If you treat the owners with respect, they give it back to you Sevenfold. I am amazing appalled that some people can say the negative things I have read, but from what I've heard, it doesn't surprise me because those very people were less than honorable. I live by the saying you get what you give. That being said, Southside Grill should get great reviews for being number one, as, if you're respectful, they are more than accommodating and wonderful. The homemade desserts are wonderful. Their carrot cake was actually just written up by a respected magazine for having the 8th best carrot cake from Washington DC to Texas, based not by votes, but by reviews. Make sure to try this restaurant. Just don't be rude. They are good people and have even better food. read more

Great local restaurant. Homemade deserts are to kill for. Rick does some great things for the specials. Family own and operated. Don't tell anyone about this place its a local place. Promise! read more

awesome food. the crab cakes were delightful and the cod was fantastic. everyone enjoyed their food (we had a party of 11). The waitstaff was friendly but a little bit slow. It wasn't too bothersome as we were in good company. They had great desserts - red velvet cheesecake was awesome, key lime pie was so-so. Would definitely recommend! read more

On vacation with kids, we were so impressed with our fried shrimp and the fries, both uniquely, perfectly crunchy and tasty! The baked potato was such a treat, as said in other reviews. We enjoyed our food immensely. The staff were very kind and wanted to make sure all was good with our visit! read more

Okay so I won't hold it against them that they are die hard Pittsburgh fans. The owner Mimi makes you feel like you are dining in their home. I love the Pittsburgh atmosphere and the cozy feel to the restaurant. They have been there for 14 years so you know they are doing the food right. Only the locals know about this place and the great food. I had the Rick special sandwich which was absolutely perfectly cooled roast beef, rare and melt in your mouth. My son had the Philly cheese steak cooked with the same roast beef, had to have a bite and it too was great. Finally my wide had the cheeseburger and it was cooked perfectly and the size of a child's head. The dessert specials were carrot cake and sour cream cheese cake. Now my wife makes the absolute best carrot cake in the world and I never order it at a restaurant, but Mimi said she makes every dessert and specifically she makes the carrot cake with all the same ingredients my wife uses, so we tried it and it was great. Of course not as good as my wifes. Oh by the way the directions from Yelp are not correct. The are located directly across the street from Crabby Mikes in a small strip mall. read more

This place does not have good curb appeal but what a surprise inside! Don't pass up the most delicious and fresh food in the area. The staff is awesome and very friendly and proud of their restaurant. Our party of 5 adults and 2 kids all had different orders and every item was outstanding. Ribeye was enormous, crab cakes dreamy, chimichanga juicy and deserts out of this world. Don't hesitate to go here for a great meal and great prices. read more

I love a great family owned restaurant that really cares about the quality of the food they serve, as well as their customers. This place is a gem! Best grouper I've ever had! We'll be back! read more

Wow! What a find. Service was excellent and food was even better. I had sushi grade tuna steak prepared medium rare, perfect. The baked potato was the best I have ever had. You have to eat the skin too. It is seasoned so well. All desserts are homemade and big enough for two. Carrot cake to die for. I will definitely be back! read more

Got take out from here on a Wed night in April. I ordered the crab salad. The waitress was kind and packaged the crab cake separately from the salad so I wouldn't have mush when I got home. The salad consisted of iceberg lettuce, grape tomatoes, shredded cheese, cucumbers and what looked like mini toasted bagels as croutons. I was not happy with the wilted sad looking iceberg lettuce. They should definitely do an upgrade to romaine or another lettuce that actually benefits your body. The crabcake looked more like a pancake but I was told by the locals that that's what they look like in this part of the country. I'm used to large almost baseball size crab cakes, filled with mostly lump crab but that's probably because I usually order them when I'm in Baltimore. I must say even though I didn't like the looks, the taste was very good. May go back just to dine in and try something else on the menu, I just won't order anything with lettuce read more

This food is awesome!!! We had a burger & seafood plate. I can't believe they do not have 5 stars.One of the best burgers I ever had.

Food was AMAZING! From appetizers to desserts, this place was such a treat! We loved the owner/chef. We plan to return tomorrow!

The food was good, but when the waitress asked us how the meal was, I mentioned that I was disappointed that the green beans were canned. She vehemently denied that they were canned beans, but returned several minutes later and admitted that yes they were canned beans. At that point the owner came over and loudly asked " What's your problem?" Once again I mentioned that I was disappointed that the green beans were canned beans, to which he loudly replied " what's the big deal?" I mentioned that it is a big deal when I'm going out to dinner and paying for my meal . At that point The people at all the surrounding tables were staring at us, and he walked away and loudly announced " Get over it." I wasn't loud, I wasn't rude. I will not return to an establishment where the owner treat his guests so crassly. read more

Awesome food and awesome people! We discovered this gem from reading the reviews on YELP. My husband and I love to frequent locally owned and operated restaurants. This is family owned and run. The food is prepared to order and very delicious. I had a hard time deciding what to order and decided on the grilled grouper with mango salsa. My husband had the fisherman's platter. We both had the baked potatoes which were very "special". Like other reviewers mention it is a small restaurant so you may have to wait to be seated and since everything is prepared to order you will wait for your food but boy is it sure worth the waiting. We had great conversations with other diners as well the staff/owners. We even joined in a Happy Birthday chorus for another diner. Sadly they were out of the carrot cake but we had a piece of the chocolate turtle cheesecake for dessert and it was delicious. Absolutely nothing disappointed us. We will be back. read more

Incredible food and truly wonderful people! We were looking for something that had a little bit of everything for our group (adults and kids). It's in a strip center and we missed it when we drove past it the first time. So glad we found it. It was clean and has the cozy feel of a small mom and pop restaurant inside. Two of us got the crab cake dinner, two got the ribeye sandwich and two got burgers. The crab cakes were flavorful (and fresh!) and filled with lots of crab. The steak sandwich was huge and we found out they cut it off the ribeye right there. Burgers were flavorful and juicy- cooked perfectly! And the baked potatoes were the most unique we have ever had- and delicious! We were stuffed from our meals but we all split a piece of their homemade carrot cake. Even my 12 year old loved it- and usually he only goes for chocolate. Definitely save room for the carrot cake- moist, flavorful and topped with a sweet rich cream cheese frosting. Everything is homemade and fresh. I can't say enough about the food or the owners. And there were lots of locals eating there so you know it's good! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Southside Grill to anyone in the area! read more

Fantastic. Where to start... the food was absolutely wonderful. The service was genuine and effortlessly accommodating. My family has food sensitivities and allergies, and the staff was super gracious in working with us. They were both knowledgeable as well as willing to work with our needs. Just can't say enough about how great the food, service, and people, contained within this restaurant were. I've never done a yelp review before, but I signed up so I could post one about this establishment. If you are staying at Ocean Lakes Family Campground, you simply have to try this place, it is just down the road. read more

Absolutely "off the chain". Wonderful fish. We enjoyed the Coconut Grouper and Ahi Tuna. If your enjoy alcohol, remember it is BYOB only. If you like Pittsburgh sports, you will love the decor. We will be back before we return to Atlanta. Go Braves!! read more

Best hand packed burger in town! Had the mushroom Swiss with bread and butter pickles...delicious! Unbelievable homemade pies and homemade Cole slaw. Loved the family and relaxed atmosphere. Will be coming back for the cheesecake next! read more

So glad to see the reviews because we may have never found this place without the help of Yelp . Don't pay attention to what it looks like on the outside and I think that it adds to the charm of this family business. It is open only for a short time & not all week. Plan your day around it & you will not be disappointed. To start we ordered The stuffed mushrooms and they were so good & I don't like mushrooms. My husband & I both got the grouper & it was the best fish we have ever eaten!! Seriously!!!! The burgers & shrimp were also good but I am really biased to the fish. The cheesecake & carrot cake were the best way to end this great meal. I am so glad I found this little place & will be a regular when we visit Myrtle. read more

What a super find! Tiny place, ambiance is very casual. It's locally family operated, and the owners banter with the regulars. Food was fantastic, reasonably priced. It is BYO wine or beer. I had grilled shrimp, grouper & crab cake platter. All were done perfectly. I'm so glad there is a successful restaurant like this left in this area! Great job! read more

The food here was excellent. I had the Ahi Tuna Steak and it was delicious. The server recommended I try the cucumber wasabi sauce with it and it was a great addition. The place is a little small and I felt a little cramped but the overall experience was excepti read more

This is a small family-owned Pittsburgh-themed grill. Typical Americana surf-n-turf menus items. It is BYOB, which is awesome if you are like me and have particular beer tastes. Also, BYOB is a way cheaper option. I happened to call ahead of time to see if they were still open because hurricane Matthew was coming in. The owner answered the phone and said that they indeed are open and when asked about the BYOB he jokingly mentioned that the owner/chef likes Bud Light lime and Coors light. I happened to have six Bud Light limes that were going to be thrown away anyway so I brought them as a gift for him. He personally comes out to greet every customer, shake hands and chitchat in between cooking their food. Very personable family oriented atmosphere. It feels like a local restaurant where all the guests are treated like locals. The crab cake appetizer was awesome, probably 90% crab meat and 10% breading. The salads were iceberg/spinach mix with many dressing options, and the salad arrived just as we finished the apps. Both ordered the seafood platter (most expensive thing on the menu at 20 whole dollars lol) which was overflowing the plates, arrived about 5 minutes after we finished the salads. We ate 30-40% of our platters and took the rest home. read more
