Our waitress was very polite, helpful, and prompt. I wont say that I had my best steak ever here but it was pretty good. My wife had a fish flight which we both sampled each others and that was pretty good also. Two complaints on this restaurant that mainly has to be with the lack of options on the menu and I feel like a place so pricey, one should be able to get any popular drink that that want yet Dr Pepper was not an option. I personally could have ate a whole plate of the shrimp from the sea food flight but that didn't appear to be an option. The experience was top notch though as far as staff and service.

About the restaurant

Aptly named for its locale, Southern Social nestles up to the old Southern Railway’s historic Germantown Depot and sits adjacent to Southern Avenue.

Owners of downtown Memphis’ Flight Restaurant and Wine Bar have opened Southern Social. The top tier fine dining restaurant will reflect the high standards established at Flight.

The restaurant features a chef-inspired menu, offering fresh seafood and prime steaks. Southern Social brings exceptional specialty cocktails and Flight’s award-winning wine selections.

During my recent visit to Porch and Parlor, I found myself utterly charmed by the exquisite nature of our server, James. With a flair for the dramatic and an eye for detail, James transformed the dining experience into a memorable performance. His vibrant personality was as captivating as his impeccable service; every interaction was infused with contagious enthusiasm and a genuine passion for both the menu and each new feature from the head chef. From his artful recommendations to his impeccable timing, James ensured each dish and drink was presented not just as a meal, but as an experience teeming with intrigue and delight. His charismatic presence not only elevated our evening but also etched a lasting memory of warmth and sophistication, making our visit to Porch and Parlor truly extraordinary. Eternally grateful for the staff of porch and parlor as well as the bartender cLay

Fun evening at the Cafe. Food was good but not great. Steaks cooked as ordered. Expected a braised lamb shank with Mediterranean seasoning when ordering the shank. Sauce seemed a bit heavy. Salmon was good but not great. Lovely atmosphere.

About the restaurant

Due to Covid regulations and our assurance of social distancing, we have decided to incorporate, The Beauty Shop, our sister music club, Bar DKDC, our newest Back Dō Oasis Patio behind the Beauty Shop and our patio out front of the Beauty Shop.

In addition to the two outdoor igloos, we also now have multiple greenhouses outside to assist in social distancing and outdoor eating even during cold or rainy weather. These can be reserved via outdoor table bookings.

This is one way we can keep social distancing in place and still give all of you a great experience when you come back to see us.
We are looking forward to seeing all of you! We are doing everything we can to make sure your dining experience is comfortable and safe.

It was cool. Cajun chicken paste wasn't worth $26 for the very small portion you get. The taste was a tad bit above average but nothing to brag about. Love the location and might recommend it to others.
