“ Staff were friendly and space while small was cozy and clean Spicy fries were good but weren't spicy Southside sandwich was amazing. Bread was toasted perfectly and perfect ratio of sauce to toppings to meat ”
“ Good consistent food. As a smoke house not over smoked Loved the brisket, corn beef sandwich, even the house burger Highly recommended ”
“ A GREAT smoked pastrami sandwich, but a little dear at $26. I will be back to enjoy another this week though because it is so addictive ! I am told that the smoked brisket is even better, but I cannot see how this is possible. in the words of some movie superhero, I'll Be Back ! I have already recommended this place for o everyone who would listen. ”
“ A very good Smoked Pastrami sandwich, but $28 is a bit much...but it was GOOD ! ”
“ About a year ago, I was in Dallas, TX getting a kosher BBQ Brisket sandwich at a local eatery. The owner asked me where I was from and I answered NJ. He said that if I am ever in the Lakewood area, that I need to go to The Southside Smokehouse (Note to owners, you may want to up date Yelp with your updated name to avoid confusion). He said it was some of the best BBQ he'd ever had. That's high praise coming from someone in Texas. So this past Sunday, we found ourselves at the beach very near Lakewood, NJ and decided that we'd judge for ourselves. While I am not 100% sure that I can call it the best I've ever had, it definitely was solid. I had the sliced brisket sandwich and my daughter had the Pulled BBQ brisket. While I did neglect to take a picture, the brisket in my sandwich had a nice smoky red ring, and was juicy without being overly fatty. While it had a really nice flavor, I did think that it could have been a bit more smoky, but that's personal preference. My daughter was in heaven with the Pulled BBQ brisket saying she didn't want it to end. High praise from her. A couple of notes: My daughter suffers from nut and sesame allergies. That was not an issue here. While I always encourage people not to rely on my review for that type of info and always doublecheck as recipes and ingredients change, we had no issues at all here. The meat was served on a seedless baguette. High props to the owner for caring about his cuisine. When I asked why they currently do not offer onion rings (It is still listed on the menu) he answered that he wasn't satiified with his current recipe and won't sell anything that he personally doesn't love. I respect that! Ok, now too some constructive suggestions that I hope aren't taken negatively because I truly liked the food here. As a Texan, BBQ Brisket dinners always meant delicious sides, which usually included the following: baked beans, cole slaw, Mustard potato salad, and corn on the cob. While the SouthSide Smokehouse offers the beans and cole slaw, the nostagic part of me was missing the potato salad and corn on the cob. Not must haves, but would be a nice addition. My wife got a hamburger, which frankly she wasn't thrilled with. She would have preferred more medium-rare, versus well-done. Part of the issue is that their basic burger is 4oz which might be fine for a kid's meal, but comes off a bit thin for an adult. They do have a double burger, but that's just two 4 oz patties. I would recommend that the When it comes to the sandwich prices, they may take you aback for a second, but I promise you that there is so much meat/food involved, that it will easiliy make for two meals. I really have no complaints in that area. It would, however, be nice if they could offer a 'deluxe' option with a slight discount to include a side and a drink. I've seen a couple of reviews on Yelp giving negative reviews on service. I couldn't have been happier. Everything was timely and the workers and owner were pleasant. I do wish this place were closer or had a second location in Central-North NJ. I would very much be a frequent patron. ”
“ Absolutely incredible sandwiches. Fresh kosher deli meat with amazing sauces and topping combinations. Can't go wrong with their fresh brisket and pastrami. Highly recommend this place to anyone stopping through. ”
“ Love the flags outside!!! May they always stand tall and proud with lots of blessings!!! Rock on!!! ”
“ Stopped in after doing some grocery shopping at the new Bingo in Lakewood to grab a late lunch/early dinner.Third time I've been here and once again,a carnivore's dream.You have to try the pastrami eggroll. An eggroll wrapper LOADED with their homemade pastrami and just the right amount of BBQ sauce.The smoked cross between pastrami and salami was mind blowing and short bone ribs sent my taste buds to the mythical Nirvana LOL. Snagged up some extra takeout to go with what we couldn't finish for Shabbos.The only thing about South Side that disappoints me is it's not in my neighborhood back home in Philly. ”
