Southside Family Restaurant

Saw this restaurant from the road and thought I would check it out. The service was good, the food was good. They have all you can eat fried fish on Fridays (walleye ) So I'll be back to try it out. A diffininte 4 stars. So if your in the area stop in and get good fo I d at a reasonable price. Two thumbs up. 👍

Great burgers! Ate outside on patio. Daily special was a huge (at least half pound) burger with bacon & chedder or mushroom & Swiss with fries and coleslaw... $6.69. good service too.

Food and service here is top notch. Highly recommend visiting here!

We arrived around 4:30 on Saturday. Brought my husband here for Father's Day meal. Only 1 other couple in when we arrived. Waitress friendly and smiling. Shortly before 5:00 other patrons began to pour in and several had larger parties. Only 1 true waitress for at least 10+ tables. They were just learning a new system for ordering so it was a little set back. Another waitress came out from the back to help which I later found out was an owner. In all must have been at least 30+ patrons in there. Our waitress was stressed but handled herself very well. Yes, we had to be patient but anyone with eyes could see how hectic and frustrating it was. Our meal was exceptional and we received quality customer service. Thank you for a great experience and we will be back. 🙂🙂🙂

We finally checked this place out. My wife and I had our grandson with us. She got the 1/2 smoked chicken dinner. He had the grilled hotdog and Mac and cheese. I had the pulled pork dinner (not pictured) cause I demolished it lol. Great food and friendly service. It was awesome seeing a packed house for a small restaurant during these times. If you haven't ate here yet I highly recommend it. I know we will be back.

Friendly staff, great food, great prices

Dont get out there too often but always great food! Excited to try the new bbq stuff! Fish fry friday is aways a big hit! Yum!
Service could be better! Some waitresses are great then some are just rude and act like they shouldn't be in restaurant service!

Recently, my wife was talking to my aunt about the old South Side restaurant, when my aunt informed her about a new restaurant that moved into that location. When I heard about it, I knew we needed to try their food. We were not disappointed.

The new owners revamped the inside a bit, adding a bar and redoing the floors. Honestly, it looks like they're bringing out the best in that location. There are remnants of the old restaurant, like the dessert board, which gives it a nice familiarity to those who used to frequent it. It also seems brighter inside, which is nice.

The menu is what you'd expect from a BBQ restaurant, highlighting the smoked and sauced meats and sides, along with offering a variety of standard foods for those that may not want BBQ. My wife and I opted for the meal for two as well as the Porky Mac, which averaged out to be about $25 a person, with drink. Note: this was one of the most expensive items ($38 split between two people) on the menu, but you get more than a taste of all their BBQ specialities.

When the food came, it was like they kept bringing dish after dish out. It included a half rack of ribs, a half chicken, two types of shredded meat, baked beans, French fries, and cole slaw. Everything, except for the Cole slaw, was perfectly smoked. The ribs and chicken had a BBQ sauce baked into the meat.

We also received our Porky Mac, which was highly suggested by my aunt. The smoked pork played with the Mac and Cheese very well, making a delightful addition to our meal. Normally, the Porky Mac is a meal into itself, but we treated it like another side dish.

Everything tasted wonderful. The ribs and chicken were my favorite. The beans tasted amazing, as did the Porky Mac. What's nice is that we took home two large and three small containers of leftovers, insuring us that we don't have to cook for the next day.

I'm writing this after I've had some of the leftovers for lunch. They all tasted as good the next day as they did last night.

To conclude, Southside Buckeye BBQ is a fantastic place to stop for some great food. It's a local business that's new to Findlay. They have won awards due to their BBQ. Do not waste time in supporting this establishment.

They have specials throughout the week. But on Fridays they have fish and oh my gosh it's very good . They have a potato patty that has cheese in it that is so good .I always get that. The restaurants always clean ,the staff is always nice, and the food's always good ,it's worth your trip to go❤

Always a good meal at a fair price. I appreciate this small "mom and pop" currently for sale_ but I understand it's going to stay a restaurant keeping the staff. As long as they keep the GREAT COOK- HE'S awesome.😀

I had the ribs with original sauce. The ribs were fall-apart tender, and not at all dry. The sauce was tangy and good. It came with a roll and veg. The veg was waaay overcooked broccoli boiled till it was white, but the ribs were so good I didn't mind much. The roll was fine, though it came with margarine rather than butter. The price was 10.99 for a quarter rack. Next time I'll get the half rack for just a couple dollars more. Grandson got Mac and cheese and a hotdog from the kid's menu. The pasta was bland and very soft, but maybe because it was for kids, but he likes hotdogs better anyway, and was not unhappy. The wait staff was outstanding.

Good home cooking.. reasonable price. parking is a little crazy. But there is lots of seating.. quick service...nice people. I have been going here for 50 years. People change.nbuilding is the same. Present owners are doing a great job.

One of my favorite places in town! Nicest staff and always constantly delicious food. Love their specials and really love the breakfast buffet on weekend.

I had liver and onions with mashed potatoes and gravy with green beans. Every thing was excellent. Waitress was very attentive. Quick service. Good prices too!

Excellent bbq, all the way around, I had the sample platter, ribs, brisket, pork, and sausage, all very good meats! There was nothing left on the bone of the ribs, definitely a good spot for bbq! Hard to find in findlay.

The food was delicious! The service was great! The prices were also great! This is the perfect place to go when you need some real home cooked meals!

Good home cooked meal, with a down home feel with great waitresses and awesome cooks. Been going to this place since it was called the Black Lantern YEARS & YEARS AGO. NEVER DISAPPOINTED.

Great experience, not many places like this left. Better than fastfood chain any day! Hope this place stays there for everever, food was like homemade and prices were perfect. Thanks

Very quick service. Their all you can eat fish is the best that I have ever had! Will definitely go again.

Friday is all you can eat fish it is very good. They are now serving BBQ. The brisket sandwich is worth the trip.
