Restaurants near Southside

“The Birria is the best around! Service is great and I’ve loved the owners for decades! Will always keep coming back!”

“Southside Nutrition is my go-to spot for teas! I absolutely love coming here—the employees are always so friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is great, and they make you feel right at home. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a delicious pick-me-up! And definitely check out their sister stores—Etowah Nutrition and Glencoe Nutrition—they’re just as amazing! Plus they do to-go orders!!”

“The very best coffee in the area and even beyond! The brown sugar cinnamon latte is my go to, but everything I have tried has been amazing! The staff are so kind, welcoming, and even help with recommendations. All of their flavors (except white mocha and mocha) are made in house, and not super sweet you don't even taste the flavor it is meant to be. Almost all of the food items are made there as well! The bacon cheddar scone will knock your socks off it's so good. But really I haven't had anything I didn't enjoy!! The staff really deserves more than 10 stars because I've never been treated as well as they do..... anywhere....”

“best thin crust pizza I have had in a long time. a friend and I went for my birthday celebration. we love trying new places, and came from Pell City & Ragland. loved the 80s pizza parlor atmosphere, took us both back to our teenage years! especially seeing the old style video games! We were going to play but there were about 20 kids who came in after us so we let them have at it. next time for sure! again, that pizza was delicious and we fought over the last piece. I won, my birthday. oh, and the cheesecake was delicious, and we love Halee”

“I visited Mcdonalds in Southside Al with my family for dinner. We had a rather large order so was pulled up. We never mind this as we know it can be an inconvenience to the staff. The young man who brought our food out was very sweet, greeted us, and brought back things we needed. I didn't catch his name but he deserves a raise (Tall, red hair, big grin from ear to ear)”

“I ordered a pretzel online from the Subway in Glencoe, for whatever reason they couldn't make one. So they called another location (owned by same person) and had them bring my pretzel to the Glencoe location. It says alot about a business when they will go out of their way for a $3 order. They have my business forever!!”

“Staff is friendly and always great. Food is fresh cooked and hot. Milk shakes are awesome. Drinks and ice always stocked and good. Very clean, and efficiently run business.”

“We came to this location after a football game nearby. The drive thru was busy but the inside was dead. It took a while for someone to come and take our order on counter but they finally did. Noticed food was taking longer than expected with nobody else being in the dining room. After about 20 minutes I started to get up and heard Phoebe ask if the front counter order had gone out. Which was a no. Phoebe then apologized and told me the food would be out immediately. After a few minute wait Phoebe personally brought the food to the table and once again apologized then ran to grab utensils and sauces so we didn’t have to get up. Pies were included as an apology for the time it took the food to be brought out. Phoebe looked to be about the only one worried about what was going on in the store. Great customer service from Phoebe!”

“I visit this location on my lunch break often and let me just say, these people are amazing! Without fail, every single time, my food is always fresh, and the staff is ALWAYS so nice. Not to mention fast service. I am truly grateful for the people who work here delivering such good service! It does not go unnoticed! Thank you!!”

“The place is nice and beautiful, food was great, will love to go there again and again not because of the food only but also because of the way this lady took her time to serve me, she was super patient, with all smiles on her face the whole time make me feel like going there again, Ashleigh D. Was my server.”

“Wife took granddaughter, 12 from Dallas, GA, who said she doesn't usually like shakes but it was her best ever, vanilla. Wife's P-nut Butter shake was great as well. Looking for next trip home to Glencoe”

“The food is amazing and the whole staff is so friendly. They treat you like family.”

“Amazing Breakfast today! So glad I finally got a chance to try this place out! Will definitely be back! If you haven’t tried the Union Jack breakfast wrap, you are missing out!”

“One of the best restaurants in Etowah County. Consistently excellent.”

“Good service, great staff, great food, and if you get stuck by obnoxious drunk people, the staff are quick to relocate you if you are polite. 10/10, great people.”

“Visited here on Friday with my adult children and niece. Had the best Matcha Latte! And the vibe there is awesome!”

“Stopped here yesterday while traveling for brunch. Service matched the food. Everything was top tier. The complentary fruit before our meal was a nice touch. Great drink prices. I ordered a poinsetta and the shrimp and grits, Hubby ordered the breakfast platter and the kids got a waffle with bacon. 💯”

“♥ My wife had been craving a pizza all week. Great food and a friendly staff. We're going to be coming back to experience other items on their menu.”

“Great service for a very large group! Delicious food. Highly recommend!”

“"As a Louisiana native, I'm thrilled to have stumbled upon T.J.'s Crawfish Shack Food Truck here in Alabama! The moment I caught a whiff of those signature Cajun spices, I was transported back home. The Boudin Balls were absolute perfection - crispy on the outside, flavorful on the inside, and packed with that unmistakable Cajun Gold. The seasoning was spot on, and the portion size was generous. The staff were warm and inviting, making me feel like I was part of the family. Prices were reasonable, too. If you're craving authentic Louisiana flavor outside of the Pelican State, look no further than T.J.'s Crawfish Shack Food Truck. Laissez les bons temps rouler!" 5/5 stars!”

“The food is super good! staff is very sweet. I highly recommend”

“Best home cooking in town. Sweet tea, fried chicken (worth the wait), squash casserole on Thursdays and a heaping of banana pudding anytime. The drive thru bbq sandwich deal is great if you’re in a hurry. From start to finish Pruett’s is the best.”

“always great, friendly staff”

“great place. i come here at least weekly when im in town. staff is great”

“The pizzas so good if I could rate it a 6 star I would buy I cant”

“Must experience hidden gem of Gadsden! The food is prepared and presented with precision, the staff are friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable about the menu and their mission. The atmosphere is bright and cheerful yet serene. Fresh flowers adorn each table and silverware (real stainless, not plastic!) is wrapped in a cloth napkin. Farm to table AND a business plan which focuses on supporting teens with developmental disabilities? I will be back and will sing the praises of Beautiful Rainbow! 🌈”

“The people at The Sweet Nation were super friendly!! It was our first time going and they let us try bites of the boba and bubbles.. even gave us a free bubble tea. everything was yummy 😋 I highly recommend trying it! It was a fun experience”

“they are fantastic I love the ribs. tonight I was truly upset I called in an order for ribs I had a ways to drive I got all the way there and they told me they didn't have any. the owner was even there and didn't say one word to me about it”
