“Very clean bar. Italian beef sandwich and Sicilian pizza was delicious. Bar staff seems to be very friendly. There is quite a lack of parking at this facility. There was only three people in the bar. Went on a Monday before 4th of July 2024.

I did hear they have karaoke on the weekend so hopefully I'll be able to check that out very soon.

If you have an opportunity I would definitely check out Cuzin's.“

Look out for Ms. Evelyn. Thank you guys once again. P.S, I would give it 6 stars but you are only allowed 5.“

We will continue to come back!“

“Did a staycation for NYE and had brunch at South Side Social. The mimosas weren't bad and the buffet was somewhat limited. I want to visit again because their lunch/dinner meal has some appeal. They provide the food for the bar and the pizza and Buffalo shrimp were very good! We had extra cheese on the pizza but it wasn't necessary as the toppings were hearty and tasty. No food pics this time but I do want to revisit.“

“I like this place-we came at 8:20 pm for a half hour or so of fun. Quick and simple. Ten minutes after arriving we were harassed about them closing at 8:50 pm. Website says 9. Literally reminded maybe ten times no exaggeration about them closing. We didn’t want to redeem tickets just play a few games. Very frustrating and ruined our short quick fun for my kid.“

“Great place to watch sports“

“Tony’s hits the spot every time. Dropped about $19 for the regular Philly cheesesteak with fries, and it was worth every penny. The sandwich was packed with juicy steak, onions, peppers, and gooey cheese—no skimping here. Fries were crispy and seasoned just right. Service was quick, and the staff was friendly. If you're on the South Side and craving a solid cheesesteak, Tony's is the move.“

“Great food and Great service! Thank you for serving us through the Pandemic! You're much appreciated!“

“Friendly and informative staff. It is a single table inside if you want to eat real quick. Food came out within 15 mins. They offer salad instead of fries. I enjoyed the jambalaya, it comes with a yellow rice. My husband enjoyed the chopped cheese. Will be back to try other items. Good vibes here and clean.“
