Excellent choice for meeting with friends from out of town. They had never been here before but heard about it from others who had. All were impressed with the service and friendliness of the staff; the pork chop was a big hit as was the strawberry short cake and lemon ice box pie. Hope to be back soon. Thank you

Brought my husband for his birthday. The drinks and appetizers were good but the waitress forgot to put in our entrees so we waited over an hour and ten minutes after appetizers for food. We kept seeing people show up after us receive all their food and eating. It got so late we couldn’t even eat at restaurant once it arrived. We had it boxed and brought it home. I guess what made it worse is that they kept saying kitchen was backed up which didn’t make sense since other people were receiving their food. They didn’t allow us to cancel our entrees which was unfortunate since it still took more than half an hour to receive after we asked to cancel. So we pretty much waited for our boxed dinner to go at almost 10pm. They comped our appetizer and drink which was nice but I think the entire dinner should’ve been comped since our birthday celebration was pretty much disappointing. We may go back but not likely any time soon. UPDATE- Management was kind enough to reach out to us to see how they could make up for the bad experience. We greatly appreciate that and are so thankful for the efforts that have been made. We’re hoping to go back soon and give them another chance and possibly have a redemptive birthday dinner.

Everything was amazing from arriving to leaving. I have a broken leg and on a scooter. As we were approaching the door the valet was helping us just before the manager came out to escort me around the corner up a ramp. The valet got the host to meet us at that door and immediately sat us down. Our server was Payton and she was so attentive and sweet. We never had to ask for anything, all the food and drinks came out delicious. She brought us champagne and chocolate covered strawberries to cheers to 💕 just a wonderful touch to make us feel so special.

From the moment I entered the entrance, I could be with the staff who became kind and pleasant in all the processes of guidance and serving food. The food also maintained a very good quality from appetizers to salads and steaks, and it was perfect to be prepared to savor the rich aroma from first sip of wine. I felt a bit uncomfortable because the noise around me was sometimes loud, but it was a very satisfying experience because the overall atmosphere was good.

What a disappointment. We invited friends who had never been to join us at Southern Social for our first visit in about a year. Our table was set for only three not four. It was located next to two floor fans, one of which was pointed right at the table. Both situations were corrected quickly, but neither of those things would have happened at the old Southern Social. As for the food, my rib eye and mashed potatoes were served at room temperature. My wife's fried chicken was dry and flavorless, and the mac and cheese was dried out and hard. On the positive side, both our appetizers (lamb short ribs and charred okra) were nicely prepared. The server was friendly, but had a hard time judging when we needed attention and when we did not.
