    Excellent meal - had to try the shrimp and grits and was not disappointed. It was served with tasty cheddar biscuits. Service from all was great - very friendly and personable. Will definitely be back! Quick service, but didn’t feel rushed.

    I was strongly encouraged to dine here by a friend. I is a cavernous space. Huge crowd of boisterous drinkers and revelers. Obviously folks are having a good time. But the food, at least mine, was neither well presented or worth trying.

    Great atmosphere inside with exposed brick and a beautiful wooden floor. The sausage in my wife’s shrimp and grits was a little spicy for her tastes. My bacon wrapped tenderloin was delicious. I had the sauce on the side and was thankful because it had quite the kick. The broccoli had a wonderful favor. The sweet tea was not very sweet. The biscuits were very tasty, so much so we asked for a second basket. Our server seemed to have a lot of tables, but constantly checked on us throughout our evening.

    The service was outstanding, but the sandwich I had ordered came to the table in a grilled bun that seamed to be stale. The bottom of the bun on the outside ended up being hard as a rock. other than that all was good.

    We ate Sunday brunch upstairs at a round table and loved that it was quiet, as we were enjoying our visit with our friends. The food was delicious and LOVED the $3.01 mimosa's. Will be returning again and again......

    Great value on the menu items. Sothern cuisine well cooked and well plated, with attention to the complimentary items like Carolina Gold Rice and Course Grits. The rice is called "Charleston ice cream" for a reason. Good cadence on the service, too...you don't ever feel left alone, but not bothered with verbal anesthesia. Everything is refined but not stuffy. Soby's has maintained a refined service culture.

    Soby's is okay. I would not recommend it. To me, it's overrated. We ordered shrimp and grits and crab cakes. The food okay, but for the amount you paid... it is not worth it. As a resident of Atlanta, I have had better food for the value. I would not recommend it. This is my opinion. The service was great. Thank you, Michael.

    The food for all 5 patrons was rather average. Rather disappointing as we usually like the food. Lemon ricotta pancakes had very little lemon ricotta. The oatmeal was bland. Disappointing to say the least.

    We have been to Soby’s many times. We thought we would try Brunch this morning. We were very disappointed with the fried chicken. It was so salty we could hardly eat it. The biscuit & gravy were delicious as well as the sticky bun. We did not say anything to our waitress regarding the very salty chicken. We are not complainers. The service was outstanding!!

    Cocktails and mocktails were delicious. Appetizers all sound wonderful, we went with the Brussel sprouts and it was DELICIOUS. Entrees we’re plenty of food, shrimp and grits and short ribs, the meat was tender and shrimp cook perfectly. Dessert (Carolina peach crisp) hit the spot!

    Always excellent. Service was above and beyond. However. The special flat iron steak was not good. Was so tough. Not cuttable or chewable. At least half of it. Management asked what they could do and was very professional but it shouldn’t have made it out of kitchen. Unfortunate but we will still go back.
