   Made reservations for 7:00 on a Monday for a birthday dinner using open table and when we got there the restaurant was closed. Update your hours of operation on all your platforms so you don’t waste peoples time.

   We ate dinner here months ago and it was creative and amazing. We enjoyed the meal so much, we decided to make a reservation for Fathers Day. Today we went to celebrate Father’s Day. Things went sideways when they sat us upstairs, it was so hot and it felt like there was no ventilation. The waitress didn’t offer us any menu items and said there was a buffet today. The food was substandard and not what was expected. We will not be going back d as by time soon.

   The food was great but I was not aware that Sunday was a buffet. We were looking forward to ordering from the menu. We went for Father’s Day and was disappointed that it was a buffet only.

   Food was 10/10! The tables are kinda close so you can easily here the tables next to you conversation. I also couldn’t pull the menu up and they didn’t have any paper menus, so I did have to go outside. ( The waiter did offer her phone.)

    Very expensive for the food. Great service but $38 for fried chicken? Pork chops and catfish were just as overpriced. Too bad. Makes me wonder about the other reviews being legitimate.

    All components of fine dining came into play with very appealing and unique menu of gourmet Southern soul. Appetizer of SoCu Oysters, sides of seafood dressing and corn were favorites. Sabrina best server in Mobile and “ THE Mama” charmed us table hopping to make sure all perfection.

    Oysters were over cooked and dried out not worth $40 noticed they sat in the window for 10-15 minutes bf they were served as we were sitting at the bar I had to ask why they were taking so long , salmon was also over cooked a dry scallops were very small and over cooked as well , although the Ox tails were amazing

    Nothing but GREAT things to say! The staff made us feel like family. Our reservation was at 2:30 and we did not know that the brunch buffet ended at 3. The staff made sure we had FRESH fried chicken and catfish hot out of the fryer even though it was close to "closing time" for them. We can't wait to go back for dinner!

    Sunday brunch is AYCE buffet. Good variety, fried chicken, fried fish, hamburger steak, breakfast items, fruits & more. Most of the food was great. Monica was awesome. We’ll definitely come back again for brunch & to check out their dinner menu.

    It was busy since it was Mother’s Day. Great drinks, and music. Appetizers came out at a reasonable time. The entrees came out over 1.5 hrs after ordering them. Everything went downhill once my sister had to wait another 20+ mins to receive her food and we were a party of 5. This was extremely disappointing, especially when the manager was rude and did not show any empathy towards the situation. She made excuses that it was a holiday and showed no accountability on how to rectify the situation. The server was great and and she tried her best. However it seemed like she was under pressure after I asked to speak with a manager.

    This is our second time eating here, however, the food was not "fantastic" like our first experience but only "good". I don't know if there was a different chef but it we could tell a difference. The crawfish gravy needed more seasoning and was more of an orange color than the brownish "gravy" look like last time. I was craving the jalapeno creamed corn and was disappointed. Seemed like there was not enough gouda cheese in it. The music was very loud this time. I do not like yelling to talk. Even though our experience was different, we will go again.

    This was a great find for us. We are on a road trip from Miami to Washington State. We wanted to be sure and eat local food made by local people and SOCU nailed it. Such a cool restaurant and the food was 5 star all the way. Our service was fantastic and very attentive. Can not wait to go again when we are back in the area

    We were met with excellent from the time that we were greeted until we finished our meal. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes being served and also provided suggestions for us as we were first time visitors. The food looked very appealing and tasted even better than it looked. I thought that serving the sides in a miniature cast iron skillet was a nice touch. We will definitely be back.

    A fun place that was open on Easter Sunday for dinner (not many places were). We were unsure what to expect but were very happy we were there. The food was good, the service (Monica) was terrific, and it was fun. Even the martini was excellent. Monica also suggested we visit Dauphin Island which we did the next day -- she was correct.

    We did not know that brunch would be a buffet. It was $35 a person and the quality of food was comparable to a Shoney's buffet. We were very disappointed. This was our first time at the restaurant and we are not certain we will return.

    Sunday brunch…. I’ve had my fair share of brunch offerings between Mobile and New Orleans and this is one of the BEST. Fried Chicken was awesome by itself, even more so with the waffle and syrup pairing! And the Mac and Cheese… sweet Jesus! They would NOT tell me what they use to make it addictive. Well worth the price point. Make this reservation today!
