Southside 17

UPDAT:I had a good experience here for lunch so decided to try them for dinner. One of the reasons we choose this was it was later in the evening like 830 and most places around here close at 9 or 10pm and this place is open late for to the bar. I was disappointed in the dinner menu, the are a couple options fri they Sunday they do a ribeye but the other days is all sandwiches and finger food. The brother I've had here a couple times and i recommend it, but i wanted something else but want brave enough for something like surf and turf which was 8oz sirloin and 6 shrimp. As such i just ordered wings and i got the garlic sauce which in itself want bad and very strong which i liked but it seemed the base sauce was tobasco. 0 my wife could not tolerate the high heat. Worse the wings were very done and dry and chewy. If give them a 3. The chili on the menu said voted best in Charleston... poor poor Charleston. This chili was dry and almost all beans and heat very little meat and no real sauce in the dish. Very disappointing. . No real flavor IMO just HOT. W I've Couldn't eat that either. It was super hot even without adding the 3 jalapeno slices on top. The fried pickles and mushrooms were fine no complaints. They had a cocktail called an Irish mule...i looked that. All in all it's a bar with bar food. If you keep expectations at that level, you won't be disappointed. My advice, stick to the sandwiches on the food. Previous review: went for beers and lunchwith a friend of mine I ordered the hangover Burger actually we both did and it was absolutely great cooked to order properly and Erin, our server was outstanding I'm definitely going back. I am very very picky about my burgers so this definitely was a win. One more thing get a hard boiled egg for your chef's salad. We didn't order because none of their salsa had an egg on them, no big but just a thing o had to mention.

It was our last night in town and wanted to sample a local place. When we visited, we were greeted and placed at a table. The server was great and did the best she could. No issues. It was after we ordered our food, it took more that 35 min to get our food. When we did, the food "looked" ok but the burger was dry, my daughter's mac n cheese does not taste right and my wife's shrimp and fish platter was full of oil. We were disappointed to say the least. The dining room was only a third full. Not sure what took so long. Again, no issues with the wait staff. You could tell they were frustrated with the kitchen. Maybe just an off night.

Easy to find, parking is great, great atmosphere and service. Fun bar food menu!

Great “come as you are” kinda bar. Casual local spot with cold beer, good food, and quick service. Draft and canned beers, cocktail menu, wines, and full bar! Options for vegetarian burgers, both black bean burger and portobello options, as well as multiple vegetarian friendly appetizers — highly recommend the mac n cheese bites!! Been here a few times now and will be back!!

This was our second visit, and both times were good. We had the loaded nachos and blackened seafood platters with braised cabbage and sweet potato fries. The food was flavorful and quite filling. Our server was attentive and quick to respond. They supply a variety of entertainment with televisions throughout, clean and decent music, and karaoke on certain dates. We will be back.

Business dinner with 2 associates.... Gotta say, I was not impressed. I ordered the steak sandwich and onion rings. Steak was tough and as soon as I picked up the sandwich the bottom fell out from being too mushy. I had to eat the rest with a fork. The other guy had wings and the third had a burger he was not impressed by. Said it was a 5 out of 10 and his fries were a 1. The service was also pretty weak. We never got the feeling that we were appreciated. We had to ask for refills on the water as well. The whole experience was just.... blah.

This spot has potential but they need better staff. The first time I tried it out I liked the atmosphere and vibe enough to come again. The second time I attempted to dine in with my son and was run off by a rude server. My son and I tried it again and this time we sat outside. It was okay. The lemon pepper wings were too salty. My son enjoyed his food.

My wife and I come here often and we absolutely love this place. Kind and friendly staff. The food is always great. The owner, Doug, is a great guy as well. He came up to our table to check on our experience, which speaks volumes. Great atmosphere for football games too. Highly recommend this spot!

Great fun place good food. Never had bad service either lots of regulars that we've gotten to know throughout the years. Miss our favorite bartender She no longer works there as she got a different job. They have some egg rolls that are the best egg rolls we've ever ate you have to try them so good

Cold beer, plenty of TVs, food ok If you want to smoke they have outdoor deck, plenty of parking

This is just a casual neighborhood dive bar with food. It's great if you wanna catch a game and have a few beers or seltzers but the food is pretty average bar food. Service is a bit slow but they are usually busy so it's totally valid

Southside 17 Bar & Grill in West Ashley, SC, is a popular neighborhood spot known for its welcoming atmosphere, quality food, and lively ambiance. The restaurant offers a variety of American classics, with highlights including their massive, juicy burgers, fresh local seafood, and homemade sauces. The service was attentive and friendly in this sports bar vibe restaurant, which includes a dog-friendly patio and plenty of TVs for sports fans. Favorites among diners include the hot wings, perfectly cooked burgers, and hearty sandwiches like the club, which are complemented by a selection of beverages from the full bar. Daily specials and happy hours make it an affordable choice for both lunch and dinner. With its laid-back vibe and consistent quality, Southside 17 is a go-to for both locals and visitors in Charleston. Ample parking as it in a strip mall off of Savannah Highway with a Publix and an ice cream shop sharing the large parking lot so a good one-stop shop spot.

I really enjoyed my time here. The rice bowl was amazing as well as the buffalo shrimp. Im pretty sure my bartenders name was erin and she's phenomenal. She is Knowledgeable and has great customer service. I'll definitely be back not only for the food but to become a regular of the "little bit" erin .... the manager was really cool too. Talking football and having a good time.

Have been here many times over the last few months and enjoyed everytime. Tonight we did our first takeout order and was severely disappointed. We ordered tossed fingers with fries, that was great. We also ordered 12 wings and a side of onion rings. The wings were half mild, half lemon pepper and the lemon pepper had absolutely no seasoning. They were plain. The onion rings were $5 and we got about a dozen rings. This would be fine if they were all big rings, but there were 2-3 big ones, and the rest tiny. We called and asked if there was a mistake and were told that was normal. Feels like an absolute rip off for $5.

My son and I went here for lunch on a Monday. When we walked in we waited a few minutes before being told to sit where ever we wanted. We got there at 11:15am. We waited a good ten minutes before the Hostess who is also the waitress brought us menus and took our drink order. 15 minutes after being seated, two different couples walk in and were seated. Our orders had not been taken yet and we were patiently waiting for her to come take our order. But she took the order of the people that just sat behind us and the ones across the room that had just come in before ours. I had an appointment to be at downtown at 12:45 which is why we went early. She finally comes to take our order after she realized oops she forgot us. We ordered an appetizer and our food at the same time. As we are ordering, the table behind us where the people came in after us were getting their food already. A few minutes later I see her walking by delivering food to the other table, to the other people who also came in after us and ordered before us. We finally get our appetizer at 11:50. We'd been in there since 11:15. We start eating and at 12 our food comes out. I inform her that I will need boxes as we have to leave in 15 minutes for an appointment I have. I didn't have time to eat all of my food. I didn't realize it would take 45 minutes to even get our food after sitting down. And it wouldn't have if she had taken our orders first instead of people who came in 15 minutes after us. I ended up taking the entire Wrap home and having it for dinner that night. I ate the salad in the restaurant. She was the only waitress in the place. And she was also the hostess but they were not all that busy with people eating, in fact we were the first ones there for lunch that day. Surprisingly the bar was packed with people drinking though. This place got 3 stars instead of 1 because the food was the redeeming quality. The waitress should have checked on us more and should not have ignored us for the obvious regular customers. If someone is expecting a 20% tip they need to earn it. Which brings me to the next point. Lunch for two people was 52 dollars! So its very pricey. I did leave a $10 dollar tip as I feel guilty if I don't but I am not sure we'll be back. I don't feel she earned that tip and I was annoyed at being out third in line when we were there first and seated first. Again, the food was mostly really good. The appetizers were better than the main course though. The cheese sticks were bleh.. the marinara wasn't good but the Fried Pickles, Wings and Mushrooms were awesome. We got the sampler platter. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Wrap mild but it was still pretty spicy. I sent the diet coke back as it was as flat as water. The tea was too watery and not sweet enough but was better than the coke. I wanted the Veggie of the day which was on the menu but waitress said they didn't have a veggie of the day. So I had to get a salad. Which I paid extra for. My son enjoyed his burger but said it doesn't compare to Home Teams Fiery Ron Burger. He liked the Sweet Potato fries too. All in all, not a place to go to for lunch if you're in a hurry (didn't know having an hour in an empty restaurant was considered not enough time) but if you want beer, great appetizers and sports.. this is your place! Could use improvement on speed of things as this place was not packed and she was taking her sweet time.. It's very much a bar like the name says. Can you tell I was very annoyed?? Lol. I'll give it a second chance at some point. But if the service is the same quality, no amount of good food will bring me back a third time.

I stopped in on Monday for their Meatloaf special. I spotted an empty seat at the bar. Bar crowd was very friendly. The beer list is a large one. Lots of great local beer too. The meatloaf was really good. It came with mashed potatoes and green beans. I left very full. The bartender was exceptional.

We stop here sometime passing through town. Service and food are usually ok. Last time we visited in March there was dookie all over the toilet in the one person bathroom. I askd the staff to clean it up it's disgusting and i need to use the bathroom. They told me to use the women bathroom. I said that is inappropriate. I wait and hold it until after we eat and go to use the bathroom and it's still the same and stinks out into the dining area. I told a staff we will not be back and girl sucked her teeth and said "nothing I can do about that"

The hamburgers are actually pretty decent, cooked perfectly in temperature, and they were able to accommodate me getting it wrapped in lettuce. The wait service was a bit slow and maybe understaffed, but they did a great job regardless. The ambiance is pretty bare and casual, but if you're into sports ball stuff they have like a dozen screens.

I had hesitations because of the number of stars but our experience was really good! For a burger and apps and a laid back atmosphere, this place was great! Someone from the back came and checked on us and said hello. We had come here after I had messaged a handful of my mom friends asking for recommendations because my 6 year old requested mac n cheese and a dessert for her birthday. We ordered fried mushrooms, I ordered the bbq burger, we got two Mac n cheese sides and the brownie a la mode. My burger was solid and the kids loved the Mac n cheese. I was thankful that it was better than just the box stuff you make at home. It has a nice crust on the top and my 4 year old decided his fork was too slow and was shoveling it in with his hands. The kind guy from the back said they would cover my daughter's brownie, which I didn't even ask for, the prices are super reasonable, he was just very friendly and kind. My kids polished off all of that brownie a la mode! I'll be back when I'm craving a burger and laid back place to grab some grub I know the kids will eat too.

Sat at the bar, had fast efficient service. Her food recommendations were spot on. The steak sandwich was very good, served hot on an Italian sub. Will return for sure!

Solid choice for a sports bar! Parking is super easy as it's in a large strip center. Lots of inside space, they do have a patio but with some of the swampy areas around - beware of the smell sometimes (nothing the restaurant can control). They have a ton of TVs and are good about changing if you request a certain game or event. The staff are always welcoming and friendly. The kitchen speed is a little slow but not too bad. Their wings are a nice size and well cooked. So as the chicken tenders and all the fried potato sides. Heads up that their mild sauce is closer to a medium or hot. Both the ranch and blue cheese are great.

Our waitress was excellent and the food amazing and enjoyed watching karaoke . Met our friends and the guys got burgers and we enjoyed salads !

The food was fresh and Hamburgers were great. service is friendly and good. Pricing is good. Definitely going back.

Started out well. We had a party of 5 for a birthday . We ordered the sampler platter to start and it was great. The mushrooms a little overcooked but otherwise it was delicious. We got entrees and my wife and i got the Rachel sandwich with tater tots to share. It didn't take too long but we both absolutely hated the Rachel. Didn't taste quite right and the tots were too salty so we ate a small portion if them and one bite each of the sandwich. The waitress asked if she could clear the table and noticed we left most of ours and we both let her know it didn't taste right. Then we shared a desert for the birthday guest. Cheesecake and it was decent. My 2 problems with the evening. $150 check and the bad sandwich was not taken off. Normally a restaurant comps a desert for a birthday. Neither happened. I didn't want to make a fuss around our guests so i just paid and left. A real shame because otherwise it was pretty good bar food. We may try again but won't get the Rachel and will send the food back right away if not good. And probably won't be celebrating a birthday dinner there again soon.

Casual sports bar in a lively setting featuring big screen tvs, a patio and live music. The atmosphere can get very loud so keep in mind when making plans to dine here. It's a perfect spot if you are trying to catch a game because you are surrounded by big screen tvs. I tried the steak bites -tender beef tenderloin topped with blue cheese crumbles and green onions and the surf and turf - bacon wrapped beef tenderloin served with six grilled shrimp. Both were good. If you like shrimp you should try it here as it is local caught shrimp from Rockville.

Good place for burgers and bar food! The beer and red wine options are excellent! The service is always top notch.

Ordered my food over the phone ahead of time had to wait 50 minutes before my food was ready !

Fun ambiance with plenty of tvs. The menu has a good variety of offerings and you don't have to get your shrimp friend! It can also be blackened or grilled (I had the shrimp po boy and though I got it fried, I loved their sauce which had the best hint of Old Bay seasoning!) everyone else seemed to really enjoy their food as well: the hang over burger with fries, the classic burger, shrimp tacos with tots, shrimp basket with Mac and cheese, and Caesar salad. The service was good and the food came out timely. The reason why they lose a star is because two of my shrimp weren't completely shelled (I guess that's how you know they're fresh?) I'll still be back!

Always a very oneadant experience with great value. Tasty food, great drinks and attentive staff. A truly friendly neighborhood place!

Best hometown/local bar and restaurant. Food is consistently good. Drinks are awesome. Staff are efficient and friendly. Nice outdoor patio area when weather supports use. Lots of tvs and live music on weekends. Steak bites and Buffalo wings my favorites.

Been a minute since have been here but so glad my bud and I stopped in tonight for a couple drafts - $1 off drafts including IPAs even on a Saturday around 5pm- awesome. Megan was our server and she is an absolute sweetheart. Took very good care and kind. Go see her! Bar was packed always good to see,, we landed at our own round table booth. Very comfy. The steak bites at medium rare rocked as well and definitely a solid value for 8oz at 11.95. Blue cheese crumbles tasty and not over powering. Highly recommend. Shrimp quesadilla was massive and plenty for meal or to share.... yes there is pineapple in house made salsa. So delish. Will get again for sure! Wonderful selection of local breweries on tap- Wicked Weed / Hire Wire / etc etc - what are you waiting for?

Great local spot ! Make sure to get the cheeseburger! Wife had Nachos and loved them . Service is excellent !

Grab a drink and hear some live music, yes please. Hungry? Try the menu! Had been here a few times for drinks but came back with my family for dinner. Ordered teriyaki wings and they were perfect. My son gobbled up the chicken fingers and side of mac. The Caesar salad was way bigger than I expected and thankfully so because it was so delicious I ate it up! I'm a sucker for a good Caesar salad and next time I'm getting that with a protein on top. Campbell was a good server.

It was your typical bar food establishment. The food was average. The atmosphere was average. The prices were average. There are a number of excellent restaurants in Charleston, but this place is decent in a pinch.

This was a great little bar and grill we stumbled upon while we were out for a bike ride right outside Charleston. The food was good and the prices were reasonable. It wasn't over the top but it was worth the money and the staff was really friendly.

Southside 17 in the Publix Shopping Center is a solid spot to get Bar Food and Drinks. Plenty of TVs here to watch sports! The outside patio area is refreshing to knock down some cold ones! Easy 4 Stars !!

Came here for brunch one random day. Great service pretty decent traditional breakfast menu.

We had a great experience at Southside 17! We were greeted at the door and had excellent service with Nicole! She recommended the mac and cheese appetizer! It was amazing! We got to meet Doug and enjoyed visiting with him! He was great! Thank you again for an amazing dining experience!

Stopped by after work at about 10:30. They were open til' 12 so hoping for some food as well as a drink. No food, so I left, seems a little weird to be open that late without food. Hey, that's West Ashley though.

We happened upon this sports bar while running errands and decided to go in for lunch. I'm so glad we did. We sat at the bar, and the service was great. I had the turkey Reuben and my husband had the Kobe beef burger. Both were delicious. They are TVs on every wall, and the atmosphere was clean and casual. The lighting was good and there's also outdoor seating. We stuck to water and sweet tea, but they appear to have a very good bourbon selection as well. Would absolutely go back.

Ill give it 3 1/2. Kind of dumpy inside but the food is good. Wings are just ok. Dont travel for them but the Almost Famous Reuben sandwich is very good. Sweet potatoes fries are to die for. Service is excellent. Ive been here 3 times already and service has always been great. Friendly staff and always a smile.I havent had a burger yet but they look great coming out of the kitchen. Quite a few TVs for watching sports if they ever start up again. Would have been 4 stars if the inside wasnt run down a bit. Over all worth the stop.

We just moved down the road from Southside 17 so we wanted to try a new local (very local, like, walking distance local) to us place today. The other reviewers are right that it is more of a bar than a restaurant. When we went in, all the tables and booths were empty (it was early- so other diners came in 15-20 minutes after us) but the bar was packed. Some of the bar patrons were a bit rowdy outside too, yelling at each other and exchanging choice words. Not sure how much the bar can do about this though. For food, I had the spinach salad with shrimp. It was tasty I liked it and the shrimp were very big and very good. I have a lot of salads though, as I really love spinach salads, and it was nothing overly impressive but a step ahead of anything at Publix. I guess it was a generic "bar salad". My husband had 6 jerk chicken wings and a side of fries. The fries were super disappointing- they look like frozen, bagged fries. Shoestring potatoes. Kinda what you'd expect in an elementary school lunch. He said the wings were good though and his drink was also good (a bit pricey, I thought, but I'm not a drinker so what do I know?). We paid $30 for a salad, drink, very dismal fries, and 6 wings, and my husband had to go to Publix for some sushi bc he left hungry. I think next time he will get something different. It's close to us so we will go back, in fact I'll even go back and try it again and update this review. If you're in Rural West Ashley and want a drink, this is a good place. You don't have to drive far. But there are much better bars and restaurants closer to West Ashley/Charleston, this one isn't worth driving out here for unless you're already around.

food was amazing. i got the caesar chicken wrap and it was the perfect amount! fast and easy as well

In the process of moving to this area of Charleston we popped in here for lunch. The owner, Doug, is a people person and very friendly. While waiting for our food he chatted with us for a bit. It was exciting to hear his future plans for the immediate area. I ordered the Kobe beef burger, without the bun, and was treated to an awesome dish! The meat was tasty, real beef flavor. Large pieces of caramelized onion on top of it, a little smoked Gouda melted and a mushroom mayo on the side. Delicious! My husband & I used the mayo to dip the fries in. It was more like an aioli - so good! We also shared a ramekin of their mac and cheese, which was gooey and not too runny, our favorite way to enjoy mac!

Great food, great people. Nice bar! Good place to meet locals. Have been going for years. Never disappointed.

Eh....it's fine not great. Not very fast. Good portions. Drinks were ok. Service was ok.

Great service and food!! The owner was very attentive and generous! A very fun place!!

Nice spot. Went in to try burgers. Well organized dining room and bar area with attentive staff. I tried the Bellagio Burger. Cooked to perfection! Loved the beef! Excellent grilled onions and mayo. Had them make chili cheese fries for me and they hit it out of the park. Burger rated a 4.12. Fries- 4.27. Go try it!

We love coming to southside! They have really great burgers and the honey bbq wings are delicious. The fries are also really good and crispy! I love that they have a patio so you can take your furry friend. Our favorite is the Bellagio burger!

Eat here at least 2 times a month. My best friend and I crave the Mac and cheese bites daily. There's nothing bad there. I'm otw there now.

This is one of my absolute favorites places to dine! The food is FANTASTIC and the staff is phenomenal! The owner is an Awesome guy who truly cares about your dining experience and that speaks volumes about this establishment. I HIGHLY recommend Southside 17 Bar & Grill you will not be disappointed. My cousin Tony introduced me to this place and now I'm addicted. My only regret is Yelp won't let me give you 10 stars.

We stopped in for Saturday lunch on the drive up the coast from HHI to Myrtle. We picked this spot because we saw they were pro-face. We got the local shrimp tacos, not so Marilyn burger, kids burger and the kitchen accommodated my daughter's special request for a tomato sandwich. The food was all so delicious! The service was fantastic, and the music was fun. Tanai was a wonderful server, with a sweet smile and a great attitude. Thank y'all for the awesome lunch where my kids didn't have to feel uncomfortable around masked strangers!

This is your "hometown bar". Definitely feels like home. Sports bar with great hospitality. Wings are great and so are their quesadillas. Always a great time when we come here!

I'm really surprised on the 3.5 star rating they have here. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because it took forever to get our food. It's a bar. So as expected it was loud, but there was great live music, and great food. I had the south side surf and it was amazing, the steak was nice and juicy and the shrimp was good, 9/10. The chicken parm sandwich was also good, 9/10. The blue cheese steak Bites were great, 10/10. The Kobe burger was an 8/10. The rest of the food was good too. The waiters nice, the only problem was how long it took to get our food, for that, 5/10.

Bar food, not like it used to be. Now only drink. Food is greasy and lacks flavor. Slammed in and out.

Wanted to stop in for a beer to check it out since it's next to Publix which I frequent regularly. Walked in on a Sunday afternoon during the Pro Bowl and there were roughly 10-15 people sitting down, 5 of which at the circle shaped bar. All appeared to be older JI locals and a few young women as well. A few families took a seat in some booths as I sat there for a few more minutes. Was greeted quickly by the attractive young bartender. They had roughly 16 beers on tap which is nice. A lot of tv's in here however no sound on any of them. Didn't check out the menu this time but really just wanted to get a feel for the place. Might stop in again solo for a beer but probably wouldn't bring the family in for dinner. Not that it's dirty or anything but probably not on my go-to list for a family outing. Pretty basic sports pub in a strip mall next to a large grocery store.

I am basing this review off of first impressions. I tried to go here on a Friday night around 7pm, and this place was packed!! I'm talking standing room only. It appeared that there was some sort of children's sports team there which may have been the cause of the massive amount of people. Upon entering the place had a weird smell. The outside bar area looked very appealing. I will try to return at a time when it is not so crowded... I give it 3 stars for keeping me intrigued.
