Terrible breakfast burritos where they cheat you on eggs, chorizo, but which contain so many poblano peppers and onions that they take over the flavor profile of the burrito. So wet from the veggies that there was a pool of liquid by the time I finished the burrito at the bottom of my plate.
The burrito could be so much better, but they quite literally, water it down.
Very nice gentleman at the counter. I'm surprised you guys are recommended so favorably on the internet for your burritos.

I enjoyed the Grilled Chicken & Romaine Lettuce Salad. It was quite large, and it filled me up for lunch. Service was great. A good lunch spot in Rockridge.

If you're a breakfast burrito fan, Southie serves one of the best I've ever had—anywhere. I've eaten great burritos across the Bay and in L.A., and this one easily ranks at the top.
It's perfectly constructed: ripe avocado, fluffy scrambled eggs, cheese, chorizo, and an onion-pasilla pepper relish, all wrapped in a warm, soft tortilla. The flavors are bold and balanced, and it’s finished with a smoky chipotle aioli that adds just the right amount of kick.
One of the things I love most is that it doesn’t include potatoes—just pure flavor, no filler. I keep coming back for this burrito, and it never misses.
If you're anywhere near College Ave, it’s more than worth the stop.

Part of the Wood Tavern family. If the wait is too long at wood tavern - don't skip out on southie. They might be known for their lunch sandwiches but they make a mean dinner too.
Some of my go-tos in every season: mussels (you get a huge portion!), bacon/egg/frisbee salad, breakfast burrito (to die for), all the various crostinis, balls/polenta, Sunday brunch menu (everything on there).
They have the warmest front of house (shout-out to Leo) and the most efficient kitchen staff - you'll see how well they operate when you are there, it's an open kitchen.
Space is more condusive to smaller parties - so grab a best friend and go.

Got the breakfast burrito and breakfast sandwich. Burrito was definitely better but both were pretty mediocre for the price.

We love this place! We are regulars! However, we were disappointed today when we ordered 2 Gruner Veltliner wines ($11/glass) and after we finished our meal the waiter offered us 2 sauvignon blanc since he wasn’t able to fix the “on tap” Gruner dispenser. We said fine not realizing the replacements were $19/glass. At least he should have told us the price difference. We feel taken advantage of and probably won’t return right away…

I have never gotten a meal that hasn’t made me want to come back. I love the breakfast burritos and the steak sandwhich. I’ve only gotten things to go, so I’m unsure how the environment inside it- but trust me, the food is undeniably tasty and I love it!!

Great food and friendly service make this our go to for Sunday brunch! Javi crushes the whole delicious menu. It’s so hard to choose. Best hash in town. Breakfast burrito is hard to beat. Sweet corn and chile oil soup was outstanding last week. I’ve been getting the shrimp poboy of late but If his enchiladas are on the menu, grab’em!

Great food. Excellent service and staff. One of the best spots in Oakland.
Highly recommend! Stopped into southie this morning with my family on our way to a very stressful appointment for my son at Children’s Oakland Hospital. My wife and I ordered a breakfast burrito, fried egg sandwich and a cappuccino. The food was incredible!! The staff was SO WELCOMING AND FRIENDLY. Both my wife and I left with such a smile on our faces. It wasn’t just a good meal. The staff made it such an experience. Thank you Southie, you may not have known but service today truly changed our enire day. Until next time!!

Ended up here because our first choice was booked. Glad we did. The manager was gracious and steered us away from ordering too much food. We started with Brussels and Mussels. Both were excellent and cravable. They brought extra grilled toast to soak up the broth from the mussels. That’s service. Nice selection of some reasonably priced glasses of wine that are food friendly. Meatballs are fine comfort food and recommend for the main. Do not sleep on this place.

Don’t be fooled by the name southie. Not a southern place just a name. The sandwiches were devilish and it was packed on a Friday afternoon. The turkey and steak were great and the service was quick and kind. Huge portions. Highly recommend!

This place might be pricey for a lunch, but it provides such a unique ode to the sandwich!! Such a treat, the elevated sandwiches and everything else on the menu. Love this place for eat in and takeout.
