Reviews
Service is where this place shines. Despite a packed dining room, my order hit the table in under 10 minutes. They’ve clearly mastered the art of turn-and-burn, and it’s done with friendly, efficient hospitality that keeps things moving without feeling rushed.
A few pro tips if you’re visiting: skip the breakfast potatoes and go straight for the hash browns, they’re the better play. Their skillets and waffles are also solid choices, and portions across the board are generous. Come hungry.
Now for the not-so-great. The breakfast potatoes tasted like rough-chopped leftover baked potatoes which is fine if done well but they landed pretty underwhelming. The biscuits were underdone, and the gravy leaned more toward liquid roux than proper sausage gravy. Most disappointing part, nothing on the plate felt seasoned.
Bottom line: Southside Grill delivers exactly what it promises, a classic neighborhood diner experience with fast service and big portions. Stick to the hash browns, aim for the skillets or waffles, and you’ll have a better time. It’s not about culinary fireworks here, it’s about keeping the local breakfast rhythm alive, even if a little salt would go a long way
Now, the food. It was absolutely amazing. It reminded me of a home cooked meal. The home style potatoes were amazing, the egg and diced ham wasn’t runny, and the sourdough toast was so delicious. Everything was massive portions! The prices are some of the best prices I have seen around town.
I love that they have so many options for breakfast, from sweet to savory. Healthy to not so healthy. Options for literally everyone on the menu! Can’t go wrong!
I absolutely will be returning and highly recommend.
The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel welcoming. The restaurant was clean and had a comfortable, local vibe.
If you’re looking for a solid breakfast spot in Anchorage, Southside Grill delivers every time. I’ll definitely be back!
