This was my second time at southern grill. My first experience, our wait was well over an hour on a not so busy evening. By the time the tables food was done, the waitress came over and said they were out of my entree. Instead of waiting longer, I declined when they offered to fix me something else. Our second experience, it was still over an hour and 15 min wait for our food. I ordered the steak and chicken Philly and was brought just a steak one. The waitress had another one made up but I only took two bites out of the first one to realize I wasn’t even going to eat the new one. I also asked for sweet tea both times I’ve been and been brought back unsweetened. The waitress was super sweet and very accommodating though.

Dined in. The food was fantastic! Went around 5:30 p.m. and it was not crowded at all. We got our food pretty fast. The loaded pork nachos were a great choice, and the breakfast burger was on point. Definitely will be back.

Went for the first time, we started with a few drinks that no one knew how to make and they began trying to google them. Not to the fault of the staff that was there, our waitress was also answering phones, making salads, dressing wings, trying to make drink, and jobs of probably 4 other people. All the while the owner sat at a bench and scrolled on his phone. Our appetizer came at the same time my wife’s food was brought out, our dipping sauces were all frozen, and my food was not brought out for another 30 minutes. I ordered a medium rare ribeye and it was brought to medium well/ well done. At this point I was a bit frustrated and asked to talk to the owner, when I asked him if he would take the steak back and take it off my bill, he said “it’s still got a bit of pink in it”. I can understand growing pains and being a young restaurant, but I went in and planned to spend over $100 on our dinner. The 2 people on staff that was there were very hardworking and nice, but we learned they have both only been there less than a week. You would think the owner would help his new and understaffed workers, but instead he chose to scroll on his phone at a booth and argue with customers. He eventually agreed to comp my steak once the waitress told him they had swapped my steak with another customer. The rest of our food was very good, ribs were excellent, as well as our appetizer sampler. Unfortunately the experience was just not the best and we will not be going back.

Ordered a Rueban said it was on toasted rye. The bread wasn’t toasted so it was soggy barely any thousands islands dressing. When I said something about sandwich the waitress just said they aren’t toasted I commented the menu said they were she said sorry and walked away. Said sandwiches came with pickle and chips. Didn’t get pickle. When I ask the waitress brought me pickle chips like you put on hamburger. My daughter and husband got steaks they were cooked right but they got steaks only and then 10 mins later finally their sides. When we ask for refills she brought them back with no ice. I had tea it was warm. Definitely won’t be back. Waitress knew I was unhappy with food I wasn’t rude but told her and she didn’t even care.

Walk in tables have dirty dishes on them. Not many people were in there when we got there. Dirty tables were still dirty when we left. Steak had no flavor, Chicken was dry. Was told 2 sides came with Steak. I ask the waitress about a salad because I didn’t want to pay over $7 on a house salad. She told me that I could get a side Salad for $1.50. So I ordered it. Get bill they charged me $1.97 for baked beans. I asked about it and said that they charge me for baked beans. She said that they gave me a discount on the salad. She didn’t tell me that. She told me side salad was $1.50. They would not take $1.95 off. My bill came to $37 dollars and some change. I paid with $40 she gave only $2 back. She keep my change smh. I strongly do not recommend this place.

Dined in for the first time ( nearly empty restaurant us and 1 more table) odered steak plate chicken plate and wings. Wings came after about a hour and 15 minutes. They weren’t the best but its because their Buffalo sauce had alot of vinegar other than that good wings. The plates arrived about 20 minutes later and chicken was very dry & no flavor. The steak was tough & unseasoned. The baked potato baked beans and mac n cheese was good. A little cold already but good. Rolls had a weird gas/fire starter taste. I do recommend their baked beans. Server was good and friendly. Wouldn’t go back unless they changed alot. (Also have had stomach problems since ) and to add i dont even get those problems from taco bell. Meal was around 48 total with

My husband and I have visited the Southern Grill several times and I can tell you, they NEVER disappoint! The steaks are the absolute BOMB! Much better than that OTHER much more popular steak place in Portsmouth. The sandwiches are awesome and the pulled pork is superb! I would give 10 stars if it would let me!

We have been wanting to try this place, but I will not go back. We waited forever to be acknowledged and seated. Then forever for a waitress. The iced tea tasted “old” and couldn’t drink. The food was terrible. Chicken was not fully cooked…pink. Sent it back. Recooked the same chicken and came back greasy. Sliders were greasy. We could not finish our meal. We told the waitress that we were not happy, but she just handed us the check. She was pleasant but couldn’t handle what little business there was. Will not go back!
