Southside Hickory House Hot

As a vegetarian, I wasn't expecting to have options going into this., but my Boyfriend is a huge fan of barbeque, so I was going to give it a chance. First of all, there was no smell of barbeque, which makes me question the authenticity. When we walked in, the employees looked at us as if we were bothering them. It was in the middle of a Sunday afternoon, not close to closing time. Minimal beer selections, not a good thing for a "guy's place". I ordered a side of onion rings and a salad. I got 3 onion rings. They were great, but there were only 3. My salad was the saddest excuse of a salad. Brown lettuce, about 5 shreds of cheese, and one slice of a tomato that was on its way out. My boyfriend ordered a brisket sandwich with fries. Portions were good, fries were good, but the brisket had no taste, just some bbq sauce slapped on it and a cheap bun. You would get better quality food at a fast food joint. Prices weren't bad at all, but we still went home and ordered pizza, food was that bad. Will not go back.

First time was a "peach." Will be bach..! Loved their happy hour, their cheezburger was great.. Have tried most places on the beach. Yah would think a cheezburer would be a no brainer..I mean, how could you go wrong, many do. South Side's was xCellent. Service great..love the entertainment too... Try it..nice Peeps there too..

Was very good i been eating Bbq all over but this place toped it all i loved every thing veryclean too i will be back keep it up outside

Horrible - don't know where to begin!
* It smelled like pine-sol so bad that my eyes teared
* I asked the waiter if the St. Louis ribs were a full rack and he said yes, but brought only a half rack
* The fries were not fresh, but pre-cut frozen.
* The club sandwich wasn't a club sandwich
I give it 90 days.

A genuinely great place to go and eat. It's ocean front so the view is breathtaking. The place was exceptionally clean ( I always enter the bathrooms before decide to eat at any Restarant ). Food was really good. My wife had the Cincinnati chili which she loved and I ate the BBQ ribs which fell off the bone and were delicious. I am not trying to sound like a cheerleader for the place but the combo of good food and service in front of the ocean made for an exceptional experience.
