  Absolutely great place!! I have never had a bad meal here. Staff is unbelievably friendly and helpful. It can get very busy here but worth the wait. This is cafeteria style.. no waitstaff you order at counter and wait for your order to be called from your table. Very nice menu with lots of variety. I cant stress this enough... THE SEAFOOD HERE IS OCEAN FRESH!!! And holy cow do they cook up miracles with it. They have fresh seafood counter if you want to take home and cook.... they also offer takeout on the menu!! Get The Soup!!! Good god you wont be dissapointed. Raw clams and Oysters are available and the shuck them right in front of you.... chilled fresh and delicious!! It is easy to see that they pride themselves on good food, good atmosphere and good service. Give them a try if you like seafood... i guarantee you'll go back!! My compliments on a well run restaurant!! A rare commodity these days!!!

  Stuffed sole and baked clams were good. Lobster ravioli served cold. Manhattan clam chowder over seasoned/salty. Kitchen staff confused had to go back twice for food they forgot.

  Throw back in time. Large fresh fish market/restaurant. Placed order at counter, sat and waited for number to be called. Beverage orders at different counter, separate ring up!? Bartender also shucked fresh oysters... Strange set up but seemed to work. The Captain's platter was very good, with the exception of shrimp which were hammered and everything needed a little more seasoning. The Scallops were sweet and tender, baked clams and cod were delish. The whole lobster from Nova Scotia was also sweet and tender. Had to bring claws back to be cracked. I was a little put off by the refrigeration as beverages were not cold and the gelato looked like it was melting... Although the fish was excellent I wondered if refrigeration was ok in the back. Mgmt was very patient with us as we lost track of time catching up with relatives from out of town and didn't realize they were trying to close. Overall good experience and would go back/ recommend to others.

  I've been coming here for 35 years and Southside has always been consistently good. I now live out of the country and whenever I return home to Long Island, I make a point of coming here for lobster and littlenecks. The staff are always friendly and the informal atmosphere is very relaxing.
