Southside Grill

If you come here I would advise getting here when they open or making a reservation.
They are that popular and for good reason.
Their food is excellent and their staff is top notch.
If you are looking for something for a special day like birthday or anniversary then this is the place to go.
You will not be disappointed.

This place is a hidden gem.
I’ve driven by it for over a year and always thought I should try it, but found it hard to plan a night since there’s limited hours.
However, I finally made a reservation and my gf and I were both pleasantly surprised and the food exceeded our expectations.
The food all tasted fresh, and was ordered hot, which is what I like.
Many restaurants nowadays you are served lukewarm food that’s been sitting and cooling or under heat lamps but this food was warm, fresh, and tasted great.
The mushroom pasta was incredibly tasty and creamy with some bite to it.
It was easily some of the best pasta I’ve had, and easily beats many restaurants that have a sole focus on pasta.
The whipped feta with honey and pistachios was by far my favorite appetizer I’ve had in a while.
The pistachio chicken also had an incredible and unique flavor that I’ve never experienced.
The potatoes were clearly made in the kitchen and tasted creamy, buttery, and fluffy.
The Brussel sprouts were great but my only critique is they were pretty excessively oily and you could see the pooled oil on your plate as well as taste the oil.
Overall, the food was great, exceeded our expectations, and the service was wonderful as well.
Prices were reasonable and were comparable to just about anywhere else you would eat for a less casual restaurant in nashville.
I think we may have found a new spot.
Looking forward to coming back and making this a regular place.

From reading prior reviews I was expecting a really good variety of steaks as well as a really good place to eat all around.
Not that it wasn’t good just not what I expected.
There is only two types of steak you could get and the menu is very small not many things to choose from.
I got the 9oz filet mignon which was cooked perfectly but had little to no flavor the steak sauce improved it which in my opinion shouldn’t be needed.
The potato’s tasted like they were made from a box.
The asparagus, ceased salad, and mozzarella stick were delicious though the mozzarella sticks were huge.
Overall it was good but not worth what it cost.
I don’t think I would return here.
