Southside Grille & Deli

We took a shot in the dark and tried this place on our fall trip to Ocean City. We were blown away. It was worth the short drive back across the bridge. We enjoyed the shrimp salad sandwich (tasted like a lobster roll), and the specials of the day - french dip sandwich and open face roast beef sandwich with gravy. All were stellar!

Decided to try something new this year during our OC trip, so we picked a place off Google Maps. Started out well - clean, friendly place with a bunch of customers and a pleasant grill smell. Ordered the open faced solid white tuna melt on rye (seemed like the best pick, as it included a combination of some of my favourites), unsweetened tea, and redskin potato salad. My kid got the meatball sub, which he very much enjoyed and took the rest to go. The tea tasted like it had oregano or something like that in it so I was thinking maybe it was homemade. When I asked, I was told it was just Lipton tea out of the fountain. The tuna sandwich was okay, but not nearly as good as I had been expecting. The wavy chips were flat and stale and lifeless. I like pickles, and this is the only time in my life I can ever recall spitting out a pickle because it was so disgusting. I thought well maybe just a fluke so I tried the pickle off my kid's plate, but nope, still just as disgusting. The Redskin potato salad was very bland and watery. I did not finish my tea or chips or the potato salad, and if you knew me you would know how uncharacteristic that is. The final bill, all said and done, was about $50 and I felt like that was at least twice what it was worth. Sitting here now with an upset stomach. Definitely not a happy customer today.

While visiting Ocean City on my motorcycle, I was craving a sandwich after a long day. I'm so glad I stopped by this place! The food was fantastic, and the service provided by the lady at the front was excellent. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting the city.
