    We went here for our 37th wedding anniversary. It was our first time dining here. It did not disappoint. We received a warm and friendly welcome. The food, staff and ambience was terrific. Would definitely recommend this for a special occasion or just a nice night out.

    My wife and I dine here often. Best steaks in Memphis. We always order the fried pimento cheese sandwich appetizer. This time we also tried the deviled eggs and crispy gulf oysters. They were excellent! Our friends recommend the bacon and Gouda fondue. We will try that next time. Steaks once again were grilled to perfection.

    The staff was amazing, like no other they made me feel like a special guest. Unfortunately the food is bland and comes in small portions which I believe isn’t worth what is being paid. The restaurant ambiance was on point. Other than the food it was a good experience.

    We took our neighbors to dinner. They had never been to Southern Social. Our food and waiter were exceptional. We all loved the meal. We sat on the front patio. I’ll never sit there again!!! The noise was terrible and the music wasn’t appropriate for fine dinning. Did I mention that the food was excellent?!?

    Service was most excellent. Kylie was our server and was the best I have encountered in a while. Food was five star. Food was a little over priced. I have never minded paying for excellent food and service but $122.00 for two entree's and one dessert was just a little over priced but not excessively. Seating was on the patio about five feet from heavy traffic and was a bit annoying at times. All things considered, I will return but will not sit on the patio again.

    We had great service everyone was nice. As far as service it doesn’t get any better but the food didn’t have flavor. We spent almost $400 for 4 people and we had appetizers, entrée and desserts, but I went to  chipotle afterwards and we had leftovers.

    We were a party of 5 and the only downside was the salads forgot to be served. All the entrees were brought to the table and we immediately asked what happened to the salads. The manager was kind enough to offer us dessert compliments of the house.

    The food and service is ALWAYS exceptional and this recent visit was no exception. Our only disappointment was in the seating. We made reservations well in advance on OpenTable and requested patio or outdoor seating. When we arrived, we were informed that requests per OpenTable are not made available to the restaurant until the day of, so it was too late to honor our request. Heads up....if you want a special seating arrangement, call the restaurant directly.
