Southern Social is my husband and I's go-to place for our anniversary for the last nine years. We enjoy the food with its southern flair and the service is always on point. I always make a reservation because the restaurant fills up fast!! Brian was awesome and took care of us from beginning to end. My husband has the salmon and I had Aunt Marthas fried chicken with all the fixins. We also had the fried pimento cheese sandwiches for our appetizer. It ALWAYS is a treat for my palette when i come here. No dessert this time however they gave us 2 chocolate covered strawberries with 2 glasses of champagne to start our meal. It was a great experience!

Every aspect of our dining experience was outstanding. Knowing that someone in our group was celebrating her birthday, they added special touches to make her feel celebrated. Food was delicious and service was great. I recommend Southern Social to anyone looking for a great restaurant in Germantown.

Food was pretty good. Enjoyed appetizers much more than the entrees. Service is outstanding! A little cramped space wise but not to the point of being uncomfortable. They have an abundance of staff on site which you don’t see very often these days. Refreshing.

The food was disappointing. Steak wasn’t seasoned at all, but solid cut of meat and undercooked. Pork chop had best flavor but it was super dry being cooked too long. Fried chicken was super bland and seems to be a different recipe from when they first opened. The pork belly app had no flavor either. Best things on the menu were cocktails and gumbo. Next thing you know we get the bill and it was super pricey for the mid we got, price didn’t match quality at all.

Issac was a wonderful server and very attentive when needed, but not bothering at all. The food was amazing! We sat on patio because of last minute reservations, so the ambiance wasn’t quite as nice at it would have been inside. Everyone involved in the restaurant was kind and professional- wonderful date night!!

This was a fantastic experience. The food was absolutely delicious and prepared perfectly; we could not have enjoyed it more! We had had the okra and the deviled eggs for appetizers and the pork chop with Brussels sprouts and sweet potato casserole for dinner. For dessert we had the amazing strawberry cake. They even personalized the menu for my friend for her birthday! Ben was our server and between him and the assistants, the service was superb! I have eaten here many times and it has become my favorite restaurant!

The bartenders were to busy making drinks for the restaurant to serve us (and others) at the bar, so we had to wait even longer for our drinks at the table. Just seemed overwhelmed. Reported that they were out of the okra, then brought it to the table. Just seemed to be a lot of miscommunications between wait staff and kitchen staff. Usually an enjoyable experience, it just seemed a little slower than usual
