"The Bibibimbap Burger is amazing. The wine list was perfect, not overly long, making choosing difficult. Staff is very friendly, and Angelo Sosa's presence & attentiveness adds excitement to the evening. I love the energy & atmosphere of the place. I had a first impression that the music was a bit loud... however, as the patrons departed as the evening wore on, it was apparent that the music sound level was appropriate. Any "noise" was the sound of diners talking excitedly. What could be wrong with that? An experience I'd recommend to anyone."

"My son (now 18) always picks a "Top Chef" kind of place for his birthday, just for the two of us. This time around, it was for Angelo Sosa. For someone who has picked Babbo, DB Bistro Moderne and Perilla, I thought it a comedown. It's not. Yes, it's "only" a burger joint, but a wonderful one. They bill their special burger (can't spell it) as the best in the world, and we agree, it was. This includes the Boulud Burger. And the Sloppy Joe is great too. I've told people about it. It's a great bargain, the prices good, the burgers and sides simply wonderful. Good service, and yes, the brownie at the end is sweet/savory spot on. The slightest downside? Angelo wasn't there I guess to say hi to my son: small downside/ great place."

"Good food. it took forever to get anything on the table, including my drink. It seems they only have 1 waitress for the entire place. Just the worst service ever. Will likely not return unless really empty."

"Our group of 11 diners had an outstanding time at Social Eatz the other night. The food was amazing - you MUST get the ribs! They fall off the bone and have the most delectable flavor - I was licking my fingers. There's only 3 ribs per serving, so make sure you order two! One friend and I split all 3 of the taco options and they were equally fantastic in their own way - highly recommended. Overall the ambiance is lively and energetic and the staff works really hard. Plus the best part - we got to meet Angelo! He seems to be a regular fixture at the place, coming by and checking things out. GREAT experience at Social Eatz!"

"you must try the bibimbap burger! It's amazingly delicious! I will definitely come back and try the tofu burger as well. The hot wings are perfectly crispy, with a really nice glaze, though they weren't as 'hot pepper spicy'as I thought -- but still great. Our waiter was very nice, even giving us a free shot at our table of 8. The atmosphere was great, however it was a bit too loud, to be honest, and it was hard to have conversation with those a few seats away from you. Even the waiter got a side order incorrect because he couldn't quite hear, but we weren't penalized and were allowed to eat free onion rings as well. I would come back, I have to try the other things on the menu for sure! Oh, and the Social Eatz Coney Island brew is great."
