Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Social House Kitchen and Bar is a vibrant spot perfect for pre-show gatherings with its "great service" and "perfect location" near concert venues. While the atmosphere is lively, service can vary. The menu offers "very good value," though it may feel limited. Ideal for brunch, with charming decor featuring wood, brick, and plants.

    Friendly staff, convenient location for concerts and downtown events. Menu is somewhat limited and basic, but, again, very good value for what it is

    Made a res online, SH said they don’t do reservations so there was a bit of confusion there. Took 25 minutes to get our drinks. Lipstick marks still on glasses, drinks were not mixed or watered down. We would have gotten food but the service just took forever even though it was dead inside.

    We had a 5pm reservation before a concert at Van Andel Arena. Our table was waiting for us when we arrived. We waited about 10 min before someone stopped by to check in and see if we wanted to order drinks. We placed the drink order and we weren't given the opportunity to put in our appetizer. We ordered that when they came back with our drinks 10 min later. We were waiting on another guest to arrive so we chatted for a while. Our guest arrived and he had to wait a while before they came over to ask if he wanted a drink or we wanted another round. When the 2nd round arrived, 1 guest commented that it didn't taste the same as the 1st drink and asked if they could remake it. That's when our server (who was training someone on their 1st day!) had a change in her attitude. She wasn't happy with the request and told the guest that it was the same, just in a different glass. My friend poured the 2nd drink into her 1st glass and it was only 1/2 full. The server abruptly took her drink and with a condescending tone, said, Fine, we'll remake it. And walked away. She brought it back and said "does that look better?" Our service after that was not good. She had a tone and didn't like to be 'challenged' so that was disappointing. Our food was good, but the lack of customer service put a damper on our evening.

    We had a reservation, I made it weeks ago, but when we went in, it was seat yourself. Thankfully we were able to find a seat right away. The waitress was kind of rude and short, I know they had a big party, so maybe they were stressed, but was not very welcoming. Our appetizer didn’t come out until our food came out. Overall it was an ok experience, I don’t know if I’d go back here again, but I’d definitely would recommend for others to go give it a try.

    I hadn’t been here in quite a while, and I’ve never been here for brunch so a group of four of us went for a Sunday morning brunch. The ambience is really nice between the wood brick and all the hanging plants. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the place. Our waiter was fine, a very pleasant guy, and the food we had was pretty good. One critique though was that the hashbrowns seemed to have a lot of oil or butter on them that left the plate pretty greasy, and my breakfast burrito was very tasty, but could’ve been warmer. It wasn’t cold but the sauce that was on it was not much more than room temperature and the interior of the burrito was warm, but I would’ve liked it a little warmer. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and I’d definitely come back for a weekend brunch.
