Good little bar for a quick bite or beer
great service and food
Service was great
Always a great place to get great food and drinks. Atmosphere is great and staff is awesome! Can't wait to be sitting on the patio overlooking the river.... So relaxing, love it!
Food is good. They don't take covid seriously *at all* so I go here far less often than I'd like. The owner replied to my review saying that's not true. I was there today. The waitress had her mask below her MOUTH, and the cook was wearing no face covering at all despite walking all through the restaurant.
Amazing food , and one of the best loaded Caesar drinks I've ever had most definitely will be going back to try more food
excellent place to eat
Amazing food and staff
Excellent wings ,a definite must
great service great food xoxo I LOVE TINER
Good prices and tasty food. Wings used to be my go to food but recently they have been overcooked and not as favorable.
This place is awesome. Great food great company and great prices. Highly recommend to try... Cheers
Great HAMBUGERS & FRENCH FRIES ???? ONE OF THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS IN MY BOOK
Food was fantastic! Steak sub, Buffalo chicken sandwich were fresh, hot and tasty. Service however was less than stealer:( being very patient with the new "normal " but no ketchup, no salad dressing and empty beers a bit much .
WINGS!!!!
Dinner
good.
Used to go twice a week, but have only been once this year. last few times I went they where slipping, which didn't encourage me to keep going. I hope it's a short term problem (maybe seasonal?), It's a nice little spot with a patio, so I hope they are back on top of their game by summer. Update: I've been back a few times this summer & things have been better, but a bit inconsistent.
Great place for lunch ????
I can not believe how good their parmesan wings are
Always a great place to eat and drink very friendly staff and great food
It's a nice small bar it got that local neighborhood bar feeling
EASY 5..Great little place with a fairly large menu that has something for everyone.Service is top notch and last but not least the amazing view of the peace bridge and upper Niagara River.WATERFRONT PATIO !!

Went saturday afternoon. Had amazing home made style burgers with beer for $10 special. Friendly service. Fun pub.
Great place friendly staff
Great service, great patio, great food and cold beer
It's a tiny place with a great location for a patio. We have been here twice now, three service is great, and both times the food was excellent and the good came quickly. The chicken wings are fantastic.
Staff was very friendly prices are decents food was delicious, great patio views
Excellent Buffalo Style Chicken Wings. Big size and flavourful. The staff are very friendly. I highly recommend ordering take out.
Great wings Very friendly staff and owner
Amazing location, cold beer and good food. Ask for your bill when you order though because you will wait a long time to get it and an even longer time for them to find the debit machine. Other than that its worth going.
Great food, great staff, great people. Best dry Cajun wings in town.
Good wings and deep fried mushrooms staff is nice
Small but nice friendly environment. I need to visit in the summer, looks like it would be a blast. Too bad that when I visited, Pat, Paul and Tina were on vacation, would have been nice to see any of them, been many years since I seen them at their old place in Mississauga. Food was good, beer was cold. Will be back soon.
I was here last week and this place is special and what makes it special is the atmosphere it emits. There was a live band, lots of people sitting and enjoying not to mention the view of the water and the Peace Bridge. I had ordered just fries as I just needed something light and it was nice, tad on oily side for my liking but would come here again to try something else.
The food here was amazing. They had good sized portions, lots of flavour, and creative menu items. The atmosphere is very relaxed. At this time we can only dine on patios so we sat outside and had a view of the Peace Bridge. It is great for a date or family outing. We tried the mozzarella sticks covered in buffalo sauce, the drunken burger, and a philly steak sandwich with buffalo chicken. The mozzarella sticks were out of this world. The burger seemed to be hand made and was great. I loved the addition of an onion ring. The philly steak sandwich was a mouthful but worked so well with the buffalo chicken and was definately a worthwhile purchase. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because our server was terrible. The other servers were great and we ended up calling one over to get our check, but the young server we had was not great. She was friendly but never checked on us, dropped off new food and didn't take the old plates, and never came by. It took us 15 minutes of trying to get her attention to just get another beer before we gave up and called over another server who was quick and efficient. She also took a drink from a patron and ducked under the tiki bar to drink it. Not sure why she had to hide it, but it would have been nice if she had checked on us instead of drinking. Overall, amazing amazing food that I will for sure be going back for. I'll just make sure to request a different server.
Great staff! Great view! Cold beer! And the foods great as well!
Nice location by the river. Food is fine.
Great views food and drink!
Poon party
Excited to be back on the patio after what seemed to be the longest lockdown yet........ Southsides has such a beautiful view of the Niagara River I knew that was the perfect place to go for my first patio visit. I have previously reviewed this restaurant a four star but after my wonderful experience I knew I had to update it to a 5 star. I also work in hospitality and know how hard it has been to keep up with the ever changing rules and safety protocols. It's a never ending battle yet this staff seems to pull it off with ease. The food was wonderful. Hot and fresh. And they now have craft beers and ciders. Yay!!! However I am saddened by the review I saw written by Theo Ry M..... and would like to address it. I did not write down my contact tracing information because I am a regular there. They know me and when I arrive they fill in the information for me. They mark down the time I arrive and the time I leave. They do it as a courtesy to me and I appreciate it, it's something I don't have to worry about in this crazy covid world. Mask protocol.......It is NOT mandatory in Ontario to wear a mask outside. Not even on a patio. As long as the guests mask up prior to going indoors to use the washroom. As for the "Thin server who would not give her name" I happen to know that she does not always wear her mask yet she tries. I've been going there long enough to know that she has a letter of exemption and does not have to wear a mask at all, yet she tries her best to wear it when close to customers. Which I find admirable. Guests smoking......I was there for a good amount of time on Tuesday and did not observe anyone smoking on the patio. Once they leave the patio they are on public grounds and there is not really much the establishment can do legally to stop people from smoking. The staff became very involved with 2 ladies and I even saw the owner talking with them. During that time another fellow appeared to have had maybe one too many but, these ladies were talking up so much attention the staff could not address the situation until after these ladies left. As soon as they left the situation was dealt with and I would have to say......it was handled very well. The 2 ladies that took up all the attention finished their visit by tossing their plates and making a terrible mess. Lack of class. Obviously there was something you were not happy about but that doesn't give you the right to throw your food and germs all around. I'm gong to assume one of those ladies are Theo Ry M. You were so worried about everyone keeping you safe you forgot to do your part. You put everyone on that patio in danger and shame on you. Just like you were excited to be out and feel a little normal so were the rest of us. Thank you to the staff at Southsides for working so hard to keep your community safe. I want you to know that your hard work does not go unseen. Yesterdays experience was unfortunate, and I'm sorry you had to go through that. Some people have become very entitled through covid but don't let that get you down. Most of us appreciate all you do and are thankful to have you serve us. Keep up the great work. I can't wait to be back on your patio again. See you soon.
i have been to this place couple of days ago. i found the personnel, arrogant and overall not accommodating
Friendly service and good food ????
Food okay, very slow, but wait staff at least apologetic.
Amazing staff. Great cozy neighborhood bar.
Great food, awesome staff. Prices are good with a beautiful view and patio
Fantastic Food Shout out to Dan Willick Best Wings in town ! Fast friendly service Good Experience.
We arrived and sat for 20 minutes without having our order taken. We left. Ridiculous. Place was a complete dump anyway. No waitres on duty. Zero customer service if your not at the bar.
Good food
Everyone knows everyone kinda place. The view from the back patio is beautiful. The environment is comfortable. Not very big inside.. but enough seating for groups. Love the karaoke. Wings are great. Haven't had any other food yet.
Their staff is gorgeous and the food is even better, i was with my two homies and i ordered this BBQ chicken club kinda deal and it was heaven for my little taste buds hahaha, my dude got the lemon fish and my other friend is a burger addict so he claims that their burgers are pretty sweeet in that context. Either way its a good time ????
Patio on the Niagara river. Great setup. A little old
Great little spot with a good menu right on the Niagara River ????
Nice patio close to the water. Great service and great food! We'll be back!
great food friendly staff usually quiet
Good good and great staff and today they had a good blues player there .love it
Great people! Karaoke was a blast!
Amazing food. Inexpensive. Fast and absolutely delicious. The servers are so great. So personable. Absolutely lovely
Always the best service ! Love the ladies down there!
Great outdoor patio with live music.
Good wings, we had the honey garlic! My mom and girlfriend liked their frozen margaritas too. Cute place to come on the river
(Translated) Cool in summer (Original) 夏なのに涼しい
Enjoyed are lunch outside!
A cute little pub/restaurant with excellent burger, services and live music. Cool location with a view to the river.
Beautiful views cold beves and good food what else could you want?
Always great food! Amazing staff
One of the best bars in Fort Erie
Best service ever
Server has ZERO CONCERNS FOR COVID she carried food stacked against her body...cleared dirty dishes against her body, did not have a mask on...and delivered our drinks with her hands cupped over the tops... FOOD was good and fresh...Server needs to be retrained.
Very nice owners and people working there. The fish and sweet potato fries were top notch.
Nicole makes The BEST Ceasar in Niagara! Great wings and finger foods.
Great place to meet friends
Good food.. nice quaint little place. Don't let the looks fool you. It's well worth the stop.
Good food, cheap prices. Great views of the Niagara river. Always a stop I make when I'm cruising on the bike. It's nice being able to ride the bikes up behind the building by the water
Great food
Good food
Super great place to eat relax and listen to music
Nice lakeside view.
Great music and food
The food is good, the prices are good and the view is fantastic. One thing that falls short is the service. We have been 5 times in the last couple of months and every time we seem to be forgotten about. After the food and first drinks are brought out the servers disappear. I hope this improves because this is one of our favourite places on the water.
Like our own version of "Cheers" Super patio for having a beverage on a warm summers day!
Awesome views from the patio. Always a great stop for a beer when we’re out on the bikes.
Awesome place to go.
The wings and poutine were great. Buffalo chicken poutine I think. The service was terrible. Heard about this place and the wings and they were large and delish.....We were there on a Friday at 5. There were three people at the bar no one at the tables. The waitress was not friendly kind of felt like we were an interruption to her chatting to the regulars, putting on make up and what ever else she could do to ignore us. Food sat on the bar for 5 minutes well she chatted. Not sure I'd return as the vibe was not at all welcoming. This pub is not high end but it could have been so much better if the service was decent......
Awesome bar had amazing time singing karaoke
Food was great, service timely and pleasant.
Wings are very good, service was great. Will go again.
Nice place
Nice place on the water good food great prices
Great service and food
Great patio eating right on the water front
Tiny place, great wings, karaoke was fun!
awesome food n girls are fn awesome cool as heck wat a great place
Place is good, food is good it we wait 30 40minutes to be served
The people that sell sides are always very friendly and it's beautiful to be right there on the river
Great little place overlooking the river close to the peace bridge. Great owners, been going for years and Still love to go there
A little rough in the looks department but exceeded in the fun!!! Wings are hot weather they are mild medium or hot.
It's a dive with great views of the river and basic frid food. I think we can all agree to stick to the domestic beer and wings in situations like this.
Service was not great food was over cooked
Worst experiece ever. I dined there with my wife and son last night.When we got there through the patio door, we asked the waiter if they had a table outside. He said he wasn't sure they had one then he said no. He seemed hesitant. We left then went back from the main door we found him again and asked for a table inside. We were seated in a corner near the bar next to a pile of empty boxes scattered on the floo! We had just arrived there from Ottawa! The place was clearly under sraffed. One waiter and one cook as we could see the kitchen frim where we sat. The only waiter inside seemed to know what he was doing but everything took for ever. About 20 minutes later a couple who was sitting next to us comlained from the sun glare as the tall windows had no shdes or drapes. The same waiter who refused to give us a table outside offered them one and moved them at once. By the time we left there were still empty tables iutside and we were there for almost 2.5 hours if not longer! When our food came after one hour and twenty five minutes, I was shocked. I ordered the Raviolli. There were 6 raviollies on the plate. It was almost after 8pm. The portion was so small that I felt insulted to be offered such a meal. I cant understand how any self respecting place can offer a child size meal to an adult. I ate it in less then 3 minutes and was still hungry. I mentioned it to the waiter and he said the chef was in Toronto and he would pass the message! Although he was polite, he did nothing! This Raviolli was $29.99 and I left hungry and angrey. The food was not too bad bur was too saltly (my wife's meal was too). My sons Puzza was fine but the cheeze was geasy. This was a terrible, terrible experience! Will never eat there again.
Great breakfast.. nice people .. good time
Mediocre food but the patio on the river is phenomenal!
Great food,great staff, great people, great atmosphere!
Nice atmosphere. Food was good. We brought our kids which I would not recommend. Nothing went wrong it's just not necessarily a kid friendly crowd. Service was good. Glad we went.
Drinks where fun there
e ordered aleksander keits beer, but taste was not as it should be. Not recommend this place
Great food & service with ice cold beer and a patio view of the Niagara river too!
Great food and great service
Good food, great service. Nice patio view too.
Great patio and I love the food.
Nice view from.the patio. We came in the early afternoon with Forest City Mustang Crew. There was a bunch of us and most were seated immediately on the patio. The service and the food was good. The staff was friendly. A nice place.
Great service
Great location on bank of Niagara River.....friendly staff !!
So good! Try the wings, brisket grill cheese and coconut shrimp!
You could visit Fort Erie just to experience Southside. Grab a drink and sit outside to a most peaceful riverside view on a sunny day. That is what makes Southsides worth it.
Great view in summer on patio right on the river. Friendly and great wings!
We were looking forward to enjoying a casual drink and a bite on the patio, but unfortunately, COVID-19 public health protocols are not being followed in any capacity at this establishment. I’ve listed the infractions we observed below. 1. No tracing: A contact tracing sheet is provided, though only about 15% of the patrons arriving at the restaurant were being asked to fill this out. The server explained the protocols quickly at our request: (1) wear a mask when not at your table or if you go inside to the bathroom, and (2) fill in a contact tracing sheet at the entry. Great! The contact tracing sheet was left unattended regularly, with days of sheets worth of phone numbers and names. One patron was clearly rifling through the pages looking at previous numbers. As two women, we weren’t thrilled with the drunkard clientele having access to our name and our phone numbers. 2. No distancing: The area we were seated in was initially quiet and therefore socially distanced but as more people continued to arrive, rather than naturally space us out we were put in the same section. Many tables were not distanced at all as the patio became more crowded. No big deal, we moved our table, food and drinks to the quieter section with nobody in it. 3. No masks: During our time at the restaurant we watched numerous patrons get seated and move through the patio area unmasked, as well as go in to the building to use the washrooms unmasked. Most patrons had pleasant interactions with staff during this time, and at no point did anyone remind them to mask up or direct them to the rules. They invited customers to be seated who clearly did not have masks. One person pulled his t-shirt over his face to be seated after clearly not signing the tracing sheet, and another was seated completely unmasked. 4. Large groups seated: The servers seated a group of 6 together in the far corner, and more came to join. One walked in over the rope foregoing the sign-in sheet altogether, which is the most important part of spread prevention,. Unmasked hugs between servers and patrons happened here, so these were likely regulars. That’s fine on your own time, but makes it unsafe and uncomfortable for those of us who expected the staff would be following the rules they clearly explained at the entrance when we asked. The groups also were encouraging each other to smoke on the patio. 5. Unmasked staff: One server, a thin woman who would not give her name, came to our table and stood close, pulling down her mask to talk and then leaving it on her chin as she went back inside. She kept her mask off most of the remainder of the time. 6. Over-serving patrons: She was also over-serving two patrons, who were clearly high, severely drunk, and taking shots while staggering in and out of the patio to have cigarettes (one of them mentioned she just got a job at this restaurant, hilariously). 7. When staff was clearly not taking control of the situation I myself asked a patron (a much older man who was there with a t-shirt tucked into his sweatpants) to put his mask back on while walking near us and his response was “Oh you believe that shit” then went to tattle to server about our comment, practically whispering in his ear. The server commiserated. 8. We asked for our bill, and asked the staff about the lack of protocols to which they became immediately hostile and rushed us along, and did not take any accountability for the lack of basic awareness, knowledge, and care that a global pandemic deserves. Though there is a two-bit sign about the protocols on the front of the shop, clearly none of these are being followed. Unmasked staff and patrons, no contact tracing, large groups. Complete train wreck. Also, the food and drink were nothing great. Avoid and spend your money somewhere reputable where staff follow regulations or when asked to, at least pretend. They cannot even deny that they did not know the rules, because the server we asked at the start (a nice younger guy) clearly riddled off the protocol. Get with the program, and get with the times.
Excellent food great service
Lots of seating in or out. Ample parking. Stop for eats and continue your drive on the Niagara Parkway. Great day trip!!
I was at this bar in the summer and waitress was in a not so good mood .The bar seemed small but you go outside and have your beer with people who seemed chilled and cool
A quaint outside patio perched on the Niagara river with live music to boot was very enjoyable!!!
Fantastic spot great view of Buffalo across the Niagara. So the wings are awesome naked Buffalo sauce very good. Great service thanks Joanie.
The bartender she was really nice but for food wise could be a little better
Very good location, with an outside patio by the river. Limited menu, and extremely slow kitchen. We've been there twice and it took way too long to get our plates.
Great patio good service. Awesome ceasers.

Amazing food and great staff! They have always taken great care of us.
Service
The food was great as every other time great place to meet people happy people
When they are paying attention the food here is stellar. But when they're off, boy are they off. I'm assuming it's based on who's working that day. The first time I ate here the food was "meh" but like, where else can you get a taco the size of your forearm? The next time the food was amazeballs. Like 10/10 would eat everyday. So I'll take what I can get. Support local. Shop smart, shop s-mart or whatever.
Ordered nachos as well as another item, received other item and no nachos. Wasnt even aware till my food came out
Dinner
Fast courteus service
Good destination Ride!, Food is good. View of the Niagara River.
Great food and awesome sitting by the Mighty Niagara River by the Peace Bridge!!

It seems that the food would be OK but it just wasn't the atmosphere that we like it seems more a bar than a restaurant
They need to clean their vents.
Great food and fun atmosphere
