Casual dinner out
May 28, 2014Looking for a casual dinner night out, we picked Southside Cottage Grill in Oakville. It can be a problem parking in busy downtown Oakville, but we found a spot just a short walk away. Southside Cottage Grill is a casual eatery, and there were young family groups, young adult groups and couples. It wasn't full on a Saturday at 7pm... more

Burger Heaven
May 26, 2014
I'm a huge fan of comfort food and this restaurant makes the best. A good variety of burgers and other menus with the added bonus of an amazing draft selection!
I'll definitely be back.

Good Burgers
April 15, 2014I have been to Southside Cottage Grill twice. They have very yummy burgers there. The second time was unfortunate. A friend and myself went in for beers. We sat at a booth and ordered our drinks. He proceeded to card us, which was fine with me as we are legal. My friend who is also legal to drink, got denied.... more

There's no place like Cottage Grill

I have been there many times and keep going back........in fact it's the only place I go when I go out to eat or have a drink. I have introduced many friends and family to... more

Unlikely Excellence
December 25, 2013
On vacation with family, my wife and I took a day for ourselves in Oakville. She invited me out to lunch and I got to choose the place. The motif of this restaurant was "cottage on the lake", so I figured we'd give it a try.
Excellent doesn't describe it. We both ordered lunches, she got the Three Cheese Mac...

A great place for a beer and burger
October 06, 2013We have visited this restaurant now at least 10 times and have not been disappointed yet. The best for me has been the Canadian burger which is a full meal by itself. The salads have always been fresh, the sweet potatoe fries yummy. A decent selection of beer on tap and a friendly atmosphere make this place worth going to.

Great Casual Restaurant
July 14, 2013We were walking downtown Oakville at lunch time on Monday. A lot of the restaurants are closed we found on Mondays. Didn't want anything to fancy we found the Southside Cottage Grill, the place was very "cottagey feeling" We started with their speical Pizza Quesadilla which was very good. I had a grilled pork chop with apple chutney which was... more

You take the good, you take the bad

This was our first time trying Southside. Our party was made up of 3 adults and 4 children.
Firstly, our server was lovely! Super sweet, great with the kids and always smiling.
The children's menu is more extensive than many and offers some great side options. One meal option for the kids was salmon and I have a salmon loving...

It's so so
June 29, 2013We stopped in after bike riding with our teenage children. It was a hot day and it was even hotter in the restaurant. We were hungry and thought that maybe the food would compensate for the hot sticky restaurant. The fish cakes were delicious, the sweet potato fries were crispy and good, the hamburgers were a disappointment, thin patty. I... more

Sportsbar family restaurant with top burgers
April 29, 2013Located in the heart of olde Oakville, this is a good place for burgers and beer, or to have a relaxed meal with your family. Multiple seating options like table, bar or booths. The food is just awesome. We settled for the Oakville fire burger with poutine and the goat cheese and toasted garlic burger. Both were equally good, as... more

Family Friendly yet Original
February 23, 2013When trying to eat out with three young children, the choices are often limited to the same old same old provided by the chain restaurants. Southside Cottage Grill provides a family friendly atmosphere with tasty, original menu items, most of which are prepared from scratch in house (so refreshing compared to the processed offerings of the chains). The burger combinations... more

A decent place that deserves a try
February 10, 2013I decided to give this place a try based on the diverse menu (considering it's a pub). I went for the buffalo chicken sandwich which was absolutely delicious. Tender chicken breast, a fantastic baguette (I think they use Ace bread), plump tomato slices, and a tangy hot sauce made for an incredible sandwich. The fries also deserve some recognition, even... more

Our new favorite restaurant
February 09, 2013We keep coming back because everything on the menu is so good. The food is awesome, everything I try I say is my new favorite, and my husband loves the selection of beers on tap. Affordable too so we can visit often- the burgers and brickle dessert are addictive!

Always a favourite
January 10, 2013Food has never been a disappointment. Beer selection is different and what it doesn't have in domestic regulars makes up for in good range of imports and unique Ontario beers.

Pub food can be that good
December 10, 2012Southside Cottage Grill is a pub that serves pub food and more. It's the more that counts. They not only serve great tasting standard pub fare like burgers, crispy fries and taco salads, but also some surprising specials that vary on a weekly basis. The biggest surprise however, is the fact that for a lot of their meals you can... more

December 09, 2012We stopped in at Southside Cottage Grill after hearing everyone we know rave about the food, service & value. We were not disappointed! Without a doubt, the best pulled pork I have ever had, and my 17 yr old son could not stop talking about his burger. He wouldn't even give me a bite, guess he will pay next time!... more

The food is just pathetic
September 05, 2012I'm not sure why this place even serves food - it is just pathetic. They either need to decide to hire someone who knows how to cook or start ordering from one of the big food supplier prepared section.

Best Fries in Oakville
August 01, 2012This is a spacious, friendly restaurant that serves comfort food with the best fries for 20 miles in any direction. Lots of variety of fresh beers on tap, reasonable prices, really good service and delicious comfort food. The burgers are my favourite. Definitely worth a try if you have not been.

Chef Boy-Ar-Dee Spaghetti
July 19, 2012
I ducked into this place for a quick supper while my computer was being set up at the Mac store across the street.
The service was quick, friendly and efficient. That being said, the food was utterly tasteless, the spaghetti and
meatballs was totally devoid of any flavour. How dare they charge money for such slop?

The band was good (Mike Branton), but what band takes over an hour for a break between sets?!.

September 27, 2011We decided to try Southside Cottage Grill because they were part of the Taste of Downtown Oakville promotion and had something special on the menu that they don't normally have - lamb burger. Although not as good as the lamb burger at Oliver and Bonnacini, it came close. The burger itself was tasty, lean and thick but the bun was... more
