Southside 815 - Alexandria

I had high expectations for this restaurant. The service was acceptable, but it didn't stand out, especially for New Year's Eve. I ordered the Charleston Chicken, but when it arrived, it looked quite unappetizing. I ended up swapping it for their delicious Jambalaya chicken cheesesteak, which was much better.

This place in Old Town is fantastic! The pulled pork nachos are simply incredible.

This was our first visit to the restaurant, and we chose it on a whim. It turned out to be a fantastic choice. We found a parking spot right outside, which is quite rare in Virginia, as someone had just left. The service was excellent; we were greeted and seated right away. Our waiter was fantastic—very attentive to our needs, refilling our glasses and bringing extra napkins and condiments without us even having to ask. He had a friendly smile and a warm personality that made us feel welcome. The food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the fried green tomatoes as my appetizer and the blackened catfish as my main course, and I highly recommend both dishes. We definitely plan to return. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, especially for a busy Saturday.

The burger made me want to weep and leap with tears of joy and songs of celebration and victory.

Great waitress, good food, restaurant could use an upgrade, showing it's age.
