Northside Bar & Grille 1500 Long Beach Boulevard, Surf City, NJ 08008

"Excellent experience, the lovely hostess, Fatima (sorry if I misspelled your name, sweetheart) was absolutely amazing. She gave my wife fantastic recommendations for local attractions. She made sure our allergy and dietary requirements were known to our server and that it was my wife's birthday. She also made a point to stop by our table and make sure everything was going well after seating a nearby table while we were waiting on our food to arrive. What a beautiful smile, she has. I will forever carry cash in the future for the off chance that I encounter another Fatima, employees like her deserve tips as much as the servers. I hope you guys are taking good care of her!! Total gem. I wish she lived nearby our family restaurant. I'd try to poach her in a heartbeat. We will defintely be back on our next visit to Surf City!!"

"Recently enjoyed a fantastic experience here. The hostess was exceptionally welcoming, creating a positive atmosphere from the start. Her friendly and attentive service added a personal touch to the evening. The overall ambiance was delightful, complemented by a diverse menu. Grateful for the outstanding service – highly recommend for both the delicious food and exceptional hospitality."

"Local from Barnegat, been going to the island almost all my life. Needed to show the wife a nice Friday night out on the island, was reluctant to take her to the Northside as our experience last year wasn’t great but she insisted on giving it another try. We were seated and the servers were nice, I had the fish tacos which were refreshing and delicious but my wife’s salmon was the star of the show. Full of flavor, cooked to perfection and the sauce was delicious… and talk about presentation. Met the chef, Carmine, nice guy made my wife and I feel welcomed and appreciated. Told him we loved the food and he was very thankful. Gonna see him and the northside again soon!"

"We did not have a great experience here. It was nice to have an area for the kids to play. But our fries were cold and stale. Smash burger was overpriced and dry. I'd recommend trying something else. Buffalo wings were good. Rest of the food we had was just average."

"great beach town restaurant. large outside eating. live band. games. delicious food. could use more staff on the busy nights. went with a party of 13 with small children and accommodated quickly on a busy night. a must try."
