"The Polaris area isn’t exactly restaurant row, which could be why Kitchen Social has been so popular since opening in 2019. Even on a Tuesday night, the airy dining room and bar (which opens up to a big patio on warm days) is crowded with suburbanites who would rather starve than eat at a nearby chain—but also don’t want to trek 20 minutes downtown for decent seared salmon. The menu skews sophisticated but still has broad appeal, with shareable plates like cheddar scallion biscuits and Korean BBQ cauliflower, so it’s good for groups with varying tastes. They also have a Dublin location in Bridge Park, a walkable retail development with lots of bar and restaurant options." - erin edwards, kindra peach

It was our first time here and everything was amazing. The manager came over to our table asked us about ourselves, asked about our experience so far and was very respectful. He did this to many of the tables around us as well. Our waitress was quick, nice and made great suggestions. It made us feel very welcomed and it was a great personal touch. The food was amazing! We had their famous biscuits and honey butter and they were delicious. The food was amazing as well. Overall a 10/10 experience and we would come again !

Im so glad they updated their menu and put stuff worth reviewing again! This trip was absolutely amazing. We ordered a bunch of things including the chicken sausage pizza, friend chicken sandwich, Short Ribs and Grits, Seared Chicken with Kale Salad! The cheddar and scallions biscuits were the highlight of the appetizers! I also had the Brown Butter Cake with mascarpone cheese and English cream…. And he crust on the cake mixed with the fresh berries and mascarpone cheese .. chefs kiss

First of all, make sure you get the cheddar biscuits to start. They are heaven. The burger, fish and chips, and teriyaki bowl were all insanely delicious. The fries perfectly seasoned, burger was wildly flavorful, and fish was battered and fried flawlessly. On top of all that, service is top notch. Managers come by to make sure we're happy, on top of the servers taking care of us. Would definitely come back for more.

We had a fantastic dining experience at Kitchen Social during our Columbus stay! Despite not having a reservation, we were promptly seated in the restaurant's outdoor area. The area was comfortably covered for winter, and I can imagine it being very cool during the summer months. Every server we interacted with was courteous and friendly, making us feel welcome right away. Our server, in particular, was very attentive and checked in multiple times to ensure everything was perfect. The drinks and food came out incredibly quick, and everything tasted amazing, especially the biscuits. Overall, our visit was great and I highly recommend Kitchen Social for a great dining experience!

My two best friends and I came here for our annual birthday celebration and I haven't stopped dreaming about it since! My vegetarian, gluten-free diet was easy, and my girlfriends got dishes that matched their tastes. The nachos are next-level, of course....but the DRINKS!! 💘 Delicious and effective. We had the BEST time!

My sister and I came here to eat after an hour or so of shopping and it was VERY busy, but there was only about a 25 minute wait or you could sit at the bar and be served sooner. We decided to sit at the bar and it was really nice having the server right there! We got the street corn nachos and they were absolutely INCREDIBLE! It doesn’t look like there’s a whole lot of the crema on them, but it was plenty and so tasty. I got the chicken salad and it was so deliciously fresh, the bacon was very flavorful, chicken cooked to perfection, and they mix the dressing in for you so it’s perfectly dressed. Highly recommend.

Another outstanding dining experience at the KS!!! Dined solo while out of town on a business trip, sat at bar and the staff did not disappoint. Three servers took beautiful attentive care of me making me feel welcome and cared for. I asked for their input on fav entrees which led me to the most favorite item I’ve had yet there.Delicious! The Seared Gerber Farms Chicken dish was outstanding !

The room has a cool vibe. The appetizers were very good and the cocktails were top shelf. The entree menu was slightly limited, but well priced for the quality and portion. The waitress was Amazing. Kaylee made the day. Friendly and attentive. We loved her, and we will be back next time we are in town.

Kitchen Social is the perfect location for a date night, a family gathering, or a dinner alone. There is indoor and covered outdoor seating and the interior has a lively atmosphere. I would recommend making a reservation since the restaurant always seems to be busy! We ordered the blackened shrimp capellini and chicken meatball Mediterranean which were both delicious and adequate portion sizes. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall, 5/5!

The food was so good! I thoroughly enjoyed this place. I was traveling in business so saw this restaurant on Yelp. I was immediately drawn to the pictures and hoped that the food did not disappoint... That biscuit was sooooooo good. I almost ate the thing all by myself. I actually had the biscuit while my entree which truly complimented my meal well. Run ... don't walk to this place!!!

It was our first day in Columbus and we stumbled upon this place. Bright and airy with an upbeat vibe. Our server was very proud that they'd won Best Restaurant again. Her name is Denise and she was a lot of fun. We shared the biscuits (pretty darn good stuff), I had the Thai Chicken Bowl and my friend had the Tempura Shrimp Bowl. Both were highly (a little over the top) seasoned. We asked them to put the sauce on the side. Good move. ps we had both as leftovers the next day! Quite tasty. And let me just say, do not leave there without trying the Brown Butter Cake. That thing is decadent. We loved it!!!!

Ambiance is way too loud. Great service and food was delicious! I would not suggest going here if you want to have a conversation. Way too loud!

Space is super cute and perfect for a somewhat casual but hip and urban vibe. Menu was pretty generic in a good way, so it's a nice spot to take a group of people who have different sets of taste buds. Star of the show were the eggplant meatballs. The Asian stir fry, crab crusted snapper, braised chicken, and Korean chicken wing appetizer were all super satisfying as well!

Siddhi J.

Yelp
Came here for a friend's birthday and our server was exceptional! She was quick, responsive, and made sure our party was well taken care of! I do wish there were more vegetarian options to begin with HOWEVER, the substitutions are great, extremely flavorful and filling. The eggplant meatballs were the star of the night for me and almost gave a kofta like taste. Delicious!

We had a short wait to be seated , but the wait was worth it as we had one of the finest server with an outstanding personality. We even had an opportunity to talk to a gentlemen who happen to be his father. The drinks arrived in good time as well as the appetizers. The movement of the staff was a hustle. I ordered a Sangiovese "Super Tuscan" and with it being warm around the bar and outside I would strongly recommend having some of those red wine bottles in a cooler chamber or some ice. The wine at room temperature over 90 degrees is not appropriate. The food, drinks with ice and alcohol was delicious and the service with Preston H provided a great memory for our evening out!

It's been nice the last few times. The food was fresh for a late lunch and the Korean BBQ Cauliflower was delicious!

So, stop waiting until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until winter, until your song comes on, until you've had a drink.... there is no better time than right now to be happy.

That unique blend of high quality food and service. So refreshing in this day and age of just good enough. I'd make it an every time except it gets a little crowded for good reason

Beulah S.

Yelp
Loved the food! 4/5 the margherita pizza (probably similar to north star's) was very good as well as the cinnamon biscuit. I also ordered orange juice but nothing special about it. The wings were a bit salty. Service was exceptional! Very friendly staff except they took a while to get our orders and serve them-not the staff's fault. They were just super busy. The ambiance is great and modern-very popular so it's quite crowded

Kitchen social is always a hit for us. They have seasonal menus with somethings that stay on year round, like the Korean bbq cauliflower which is a must have. The server offers solid recommendations and we always enjoy the food and cocktails. It can be a bit loud at times, but overall a great spot. It is consistently in our regular rotation. It's so good I forgot to take pictures of the food.

What an amazing brunch experience. I tried their brunch menu for the first time, and it was so good. There was a wait time for us to be seated, and it took around 40 mins to get a table on Saturday. The cheddar biscuits were perfectly buttery and sweet The creme brule french toast was heavenly. It's one of the best brunch places I have been so far. This restaurant was voted the No 1 in 2023 and I can vouch for it as the taste and service was amazing.

This place is poppin' and rightfully so. After hearing it was listed as one of Columbus's top restaurants on Yelp, I've had my eye on it for quite some time. We stopped in for lunch during a weekday and it was extremely busy. Luckily, after waiting for a bit we were able to snag seats at the bar and forgo the waitlist. Menu has a nice variety, without being overwhelming. Full service bar as well. We started with the cheddar and scallion biscuits. They were quite literally the best biscuits I've ever had. They are topped with honey butter and almost melt in your mouth, highly recommend. For entrees, we got the grilled chicken tacos and crispy chicken sandwich. The tacos have grilled chicken, candied bacon, cabbage slaw and charred corn topped with chipotle crema with a side of chips and homemade salsa. The sandwich has a huge fried chicken breast, pickled onions and jalapenos with gochujang aioli. Both were really good. The salsa had a much bigger kick than I was expecting, and the chicken sandwich was slightly spicy as well given the jalapenos and gochujang aoli. Overall, Kitchen Social lived up to the hype. However, I would highly recommend getting a reservation or going at an off-peak time. That said, they appeared to have plenty of wait staff and the kitchen didn't seem to miss a beat. Parking was also a bit of a challenge given its location essentially in the first floor of an apartment complex with other restaurants left and right, but at least it's free.

You can never go wrong with kitchen social! They have amazing appetizers and the best biscuits! I highly recommend them! I also recommend making reservations ahead of time!

Okay honestly the dinner I had here was the highlight of my week. The food was amazing (more on that below), the staff was friendly and attentive (I think our servers name was Ricky? idk). It was very busy and bustling inside (even on a Wednesday!) but we were able to get a table within 20-30 mins. Starters: - Cheddar & Scallion Biscuits - Korean BBQ Cauliflower Both of these starters are a MUST!! The biscuits were divine, salty and cheesy and flavorful with a sweeter butter which complimented the flavors. The cauliflower was incredible, great texture & flavor. Blackened Shrimp Capellini- I'm so glad I ordered this, it was sooo good!! Has a tomatoey, Cajun sauce that is super good. The pasta itself was delicious and the shrimp were cooked well and a good size.

Visited the restaurant on a weekday night with friends. Reservation was needed as the restaurant is very popular. The popularity is earned. The food and service are excellent. Started off my order with a beer. They offer a mix of common domestic beers and local craft beers. We started our food order with the cheddar and scallion biscuits. I cannot recommend this dish enough. It is a must get. For my main dish I got the burger with a salad. The salad was very fresh. The dressing had a great flavor. The burger also was well made. The lerruce, tomato, pickles and sauce paired well with the burger. We finished off the night with the Butterscotch Budino. This dish includes butterscotch pudding, pretzel crunch and mascarpone cream. I love the sweet and salty flavors. This dish also gets a high recommendation from me. Lastly our server was great. He was very friendly and quickly delivered our dishes. Kitchen Social is a must try in the Polaris area.

This Resturant was awesome I had the Teriyaki Ribeye it was awesome. Also ordered the Korean BBQ Cauliflower I was greeted very nicely and food was amazing. Take a look I got before and after.

Great waitress today! Had a new dish and it did not disappoint. Atmosphere was great. Got a table for 4 right away.

Cassie F.

Bottom Line: It's Cool. It's Trendy. It's OK. Atmosphere - like I said, it's a vey cool, trendy place. I love the feel of the open bar, tables/dining area and kitchen. The outside area is great too. Great Signature Cocktails. The Owner was sitting at a nearby table and at one point made the rounds checking on diners. Always a nice touch. Now for the food - it all sounded better than it was. It was just OK. I had the Fish & Chips. It was standard bar food quality. The fries were barely warm. I know I could have sent them back and I'm sure they would have corrected it but why should I have to do that. It was very busy, there is no reason that fries should be sitting around and getting limp. My lunch mate had the Crispy Chicken Salad. Again, it was good but not anything to rave about. We also had the biscuits. I'm a carbwhore so of course I loved them. One other thing that really turned me off - the trend of processing your credit card on the POS device that the waitstaff is holding in their hand, then turning it to the customer to add a tip and sign right then and there, while the waitstaff waits. Very Uncomfortable. You feel pressure. You feel uncomfortable taking a few moments to review the bill and to think about how much to tip. Bottom Line: I would definitely meet my friends for some cocktails and some appetizers, but it wouldn't be MY recommendation for a destination meal.

A friend took me to Kitchen Social for my birthday. The food was amazing. Their biscuits are the best I have ever had in my life. I had a cup of lobster bisque and it was equally as good. The mushroom pizza was fantastic too. Our server was super sweet and catered to our every whim. The place is beautiful with a great view. I will definitely be back.

Great service, good food, and a nice atmosphere for a family meal, or weekend brunch. Everyone ordered something different with no complaints, the appetizers are definitely the star though whether brunch or any meal.

Bryan G.

Yelp
Service is amazing if not maybe a little over the top. The brunch is great! The French toast, the nachos, and the biscuits were all very good as was the mimosa flight I'm told.

Sara I.

Yelp
Everyone I know raves about this place! I was looking forward to it. I ordered the cheddar + scallion biscuits, they were sweeter then I expected but still good. It was the best thing we had and I see why people love it. I ordered and tried both the shrimp tempura bowl and seared Gerber farms chicken. The shrimp tempura bowl was nothing special, after my first bite I knew it was a mistake. I didn't even eat a quarter of it, it wasn't worth it. Did I just order the wrong thing? It really wasn't good. I tried gerber farms chicken, it was much better, perhaps worth ordering again. The service was good and the ambiance was very friendly, fun gathering place. Overall I was sadly disappointed, I wanted to like everything so much. I will try it out again later (perhaps bridge park instead) in case this was a fluke experience.

Yelp
Good, but overrated. If you can manage to get in you'll likely be greeted with a 90 minute limit to your visit or the very poor selection of seating for happy hour. If you make it past that, you'll be introduced to an overpriced dinner with a poor beer selection. Their cocktails taste fine but are once again, expensive. If you get past all that you'll have about 5-10 options of fairly priced options on the menu. However, if you're like myself and don't enjoy spending $25+ on an entree, you'll be disappointed. If you make it through all that, yeah, the food is great! I always enjoy what I'm eating at kitchen social. However, the difficulty and restrictions for an affordable meal lower my rating to a 4.

I love this place! Always a great atmosphere and service. This has become our go-to place for a night out or an afternoon lunch.

Traveling to Cbus for work and happened upon this gem of a restaurant! I sat at the bar and asked the bartender for his recommendations. He did not lead me astray by telling me about the amazing salmon dish that would soon grace my tastebuds. It was a perfectly cooked blackened salmon with a pesto sauce and a unique blend of farrow, cauliflower, and butternut squash accompaniment. The vibe of the place was trendy, giving many dining options depending on your occasion.

Takell L.

Yelp
The street corn nachos were surprisingly really good. I would highly suggest trying them if you're a fan of street corn, and nachos. As for the chicken sandwich, it was one of the best chicken sandwiches that I have had in the area. It was crispy but not too hard. It was cooked to perfection and every bite it got better. The fries also had the right amount of crisp. Overall a great food experience and I cannot wait to come back and try other menu options.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while, so I was glad to get to do so. We came at 5 pm on a Friday evening. It was super crowded, so I recommend getting a reservation if you can. I started with a cocktail from the infused cocktail list. Our waitress said that the cocktails had been infused for 24 hours so that you couldn't really taste the alcohol, and she was right. I had the social sunrise, and it was sweet and refreshing. We had the cheddar scallion biscuits on recommendation from the waitress. They have a thin layer of sugar on them, and that adds a sweet crisp that makes the cheesy, savory, buttery biscuits be that much better! My meal was a tuna bowl. I chose to get it without jalapeños and pickled onions because I don't like spice. The Thai Chile glaze added just a little, but not too much. The dish was mostly sweet, with a crunch to it. The tuna added a nice savory flavor to it. I left really full and happy :)

Solid Happy Hour! We stopped by and it was packed! Snagged a spot at the bar and had a couple drinks and apps. The corn nachos were delicious, as was the Margherita pizza. service was solid and overall was $30ish.

One of my favorite restaurants in the Polaris area. Their appetizers are great and many are vegetarian friendly! Get the whipped feta and combine it with the meatballs. Amazing! They have an enclosed outside area with heaters and the bar area is first come, first serve. I recommend reservations. The parking area can be very busy too so give yourself a few extra minutes for parking.

1st time, 2nd time and 3rd time definitely has been a charm! Kitchen social is the real deal! Great food, great atmosphere and the staff are friendly, focused and knowledgeable about their menu. Got to share our visit today with the girls and they were definitely impressed. They said it best "there is a different flavor bursting with each bite!" Highly recommend the biscuits and corn tortillas appetizers, and the Thai Chicken Bowl . Definitely worth the 1hr and 45 minute drive!!!!! We will be back KS! Salyers family

The first clue that this was great place was reservations were full early in the week. Kitchen social name is a great reflection of the service and culture of the establishment. The decor is light and airy , with a farmhouse touch. The Establishment is quite large. The menu is inclusive and offers variety of food for everyone. The food is fresh and cooked to perfection. The food and drinks , were a prefect combination. The portions were the perfect size and priced according ly. Staff was prompt and attentive, definitely will visit social kitchen again.

i was in town on a road trip with my dad, we stopped in here before going to our hotel for the night. It was a great experience and the place has a very lively ambience. the staff was very friendly and our waiter even made great suggestions on substitutions and add ons to our food. The sweet corn nachos were great and were a perfect sized portion for an appetizer. The burger was what you would expect out of an all american double cheeseburger. the real star of the show was the brown butter cake which was rich and full of buttery goodness, the cream on top was lightly sweet and the fruit cut the sweetness of the cake; quite a delightful treat. If Im ever back in town, this is on my to do list every-time.

Food is great! Ingredients are really fresh tasting and the service is quick. Only complaint is that it can be a little loud but otherwise this is a fantastic place to grab a casual meal

KS has great options and wonderful service. Our server was Kylee H and she was amazing. Super helpful, friendly and positive. Provided great recommendations and advice too. KS has a great choice of custom drinks and beverages, as well as all the usuals. This time we tried Fish and Chips and Pepperoni Pizza. (8pm later dinner). Both were great, although fries were a little burnt on the fish and chips. Fish was amazing. Also started with the must have Biscuits (highly recommend) and the lobster bisque (great taste/flavor but little lobster). Atmosphere is energetic and comfortable for families, girls night out, or just dinner. Polaris location is always busy so should make reservations and parking can be a little tight out front so use the garage. Thanks again Kylee and crew for a great night.

Stopped while driving through Columbus using fellow Yelp reviewers recommendations and was not disappointed! We started with the honey cheddar biscuits and they were incredible! We both had the ribeye with roasted veggies and the ribeye was 12 oz cooked to perfection and the veggies were delicious. Bella was our waitress and she was attentive and had great recommendations. Nice atmosphere and good for large groups, singles, or just a few.

When was the last time you had a foodgasm? Well if you need one - head over to Kitchen social. This is a hot n happening spot with a vibrant, creative menu that's gonna make you salivate instantly. We decided to try their veggie options & it didn't disappoint at all. The whipped feta is light yet buttery and creamy over beautiful toasted bread. The eggplant meatballs is a genius dish with a yummy roasted eggplant flavor & is elevated with the vodka-pesto sauce. The mushroom pizza with garlic butter & boursin cheese is fantastic too! Now for desserts, I suggest getting atleast two. Not because they are tiny or anything, but just because they are FREAKING delicious!! The brown butter cake & the chocolate dessert complimented each other so well. I was speechless & in L.O.V.E. Service is fast & fun. Get your social fix now at Kitchen Social!!

Came to the Polaris location during a weekend trip to Columbus. I had heard about the biscuits from TikTok and had to try them. The restaurant was very busy and there was a wait for a table, so we opted to sit at the bar. The bartender was really nice and very attentive. I really liked my drink, though I don't remember what it was called. It had brute, gin, and lemon. I do wish there were more cocktail options. We ordered the biscuit appetizer, and they were even better than anticipated. They were hot and soft and the butter was perfect. These alone were worth the stop. For our entrees we ordered the fish and chips and the fried chicken sandwich (not pictured). Good portion sizes for both. The ambiance of the restaurant was very plain and didn't have much going on. It was fine, but nothing spectacular. I would definitely come back if I was in town and try different items on the menu (the pizza that the couple next to us got looked incredible).

We arrived at 5 on a Friday and got seated immediately, which was a surprise and nice. The decor is super cute. We got sat on the sealed in patio and they had the fires going so it wasn't super cold. I was really excited because they have a scratch kitchen and you don't find those often anymore. Drink wise we started off with sunshine social (10/10) and a blackberry infused drink (7/10). For the apps we got the nachos (9/10) they were delicious, but not as many chips as nachos typically have, and the bourbon glazed pork belly. I love pork belly and this was what I was most excited for and I feel like it fell short. I give it a 3/10 because the pork felt over done, the amount of pork was minimal, the slaw to pork ratio was bad, the slaw wasn't good, the bourbon glaze was good that was about it. One of our meals we got the pimento burger with fries (6/10) the rating would be higher but I found a black hair in my food and it could've had more melted pimento on it. The fries (9.5/10) they were seasoned amazingly ! Next we had the shrimp tacos (8.5/10) witch chips and salsa (9.5/10) . I think the tacos could've used more filling per shell . The chips and salsa had the perfect level of spice to me and were the filling component of that dish. For our last dish we got the miso cod (8/10) the fish was cooked good I would've preferred a little harder sear, the bed of stuff it was in was a combination of stuff that was delicious and not a combination I've seen before, the miso sauce was good I wish there was a more of it. For dessert we had the brown butter cake (9.8/10) it was soooo good with the marscapone and fresh berries the cake was moist throughout. We had very good service and a manager stopped by to check on us as well. We got a few rounds of drinks and with tip by the end we spent just under $200. Overall, it was a good experience.

I have been meaning to try this place forever and finally got around to it. Stopped in here with my husband and kids on a Saturday. It was busy, but we didn't have to wait long at all, maybe 15 minutes. The atmosphere was a little chaotic, but it seemed very organized. It very pretty on the inside. They have a big, covered patio and a nice-sized bar. Our server, Preston, was one of the better servers that we've had in years. He was so friendly and genuinely seemed to care about us having a great experience. I got the mule of the day- which I believe ended up being a blackberry-peach and it was incredible. Our apps came out quick. We got the biscuits and pork belly with crispy rice. Both were incredible. I would totally order that pork belly as an entree. My kids both got the pepperoni pizza which was a good size and impressively delicious. My husband got the shrimp and grits and was in love, especially with the grits. I got the crispy chicken tacos and I thought they were very good, albeit spicier than I would have guessed- which is fine cause I love spicy. The tacos had a great sauce. The only criticism I have is that everything sat on a dry bed of coleslaw in the tortilla which was a little strange. I think that the slaw should have either have been dressed with the sauce or something else. It was served with (I'm guessing) homemade tortilla chips and salsa which were so fantastic. Overall, I'd come back in a heartbeat. I don't know what took us so long. The prices are incredibly reasonable- I don't know why I thought it would be more expensive. The food was incredible and the service was even better. The manager, Dan, stopped by a few times to chat and check on us and was so friendly. It's been a long time since I felt like a place cared so much about giving a great experience and this place truly did. This place clearly lives up to the amazing reviews that it has.

Brunch at Kitchen Social (Polaris) was very good. Each time we go there, I like it more and more. The bloody mary was one of the best I've had in a long time. This visit was just the two of us exploring the brunch menu. The extremely tasty chicken and waffles were a reasonable-sized portion for my appetite and Dan enjoyed his chicken breakfast tacos. The restaurant was really busy at 11am but the service was impeccable, as it was the first time we came here with the kids. On our previous visit during a weekend lunch hour, I got the fish sandwich which had a puffy light batter and came with crispy fries. Dan's fried chicken sandwich was equally good, but the salad consisted of just a pile of mixed greens, and about a cup of salad dressing on the side. It was fresh enough, but could've used a little more veg or toppings. The kids got mac & cheese, and really liked their shrimp tempura bowl. For some reason, I was not expecting to like this place, but between the quality of the food, prompt service, and lively atmosphere, it's definitely worth a trip to the Polaris or Dublin Bridge Park locations.

A friend brought me here a couple years ago and I've been back a couple times since. Most recently I took my sister and we got to sit on the patio. All of their food is spectacular- the flavor combos and the fresh and delicious options are fantastic. They really deliver with the menu options and it's different than anywhere else. Highly recommend stopping here for a meal if you haven't before. Our service is always good and the atmosphere is hip but comfortable. The Columbus scene is not always my favorite but this place got all the things right.

Update!!! So I want to update this review. After to finally getting seated. I was going to talk to the manager about the situation but after talking to my wife I was just going to let it go and probably never come back. But!! And this is a big BUT! Tyler the manager just came out of no where and ask me how was everything and had apologized for taking so long to sit us. At that time I went ahead and explained to him the situation I had and he apologized a thousand times for what happened and told me that they pride themselves on their impressions he even offered to take care of it for us. And I will say besides that situation everything else was great. My server was awesome very attentive. The food was great and the biscuits was to die for. Overall I'm very happy and being a business man and foodie that's the way you make something right! I appreciate it guys no complaint from me! Thanks I got racist vibes. I came in with 3 host standing there to which none of them greeted me. Afterwards I watched 2 white couple come in and was greeted as soon as they step foot through the door. Then I walked to the side next to the white couple and was still not greated to which while I'm standing there another couple walk and got greeted while standing behind me to which I had to rudely interrupt and say hey I'm right here. And one of the girls said oh I thought you were using the restroom??! Huh. I literally been standing here for 8 mins. To which she took my number and said the waiting list was 1hr and a half long and it wasn't that long. So I said put me on it and went back to my car. Then I came back in with my family this time and still not greeted them we sat down. No one ever said anything to us. This is the worst experience I've had and I'm a foodie and eat at restaurants all over the world. I will be putting this review on my TikTok IG and everywhere else. This is horrible. Then as me and my family sit no one still never said anything to us. Hey it will be just a little more time nothing. It like we're not even there . Yall need to fix this. I haven't even ate yet.

Kitchen social is a fantastic fine. It has a very nice atmosphere, and the staff is on spot. I have been here a couple times and can't believe I have never left a review. When traveling in the area, this is a spot that I tried to go to, since the food is very good along with the service.I can't speak enough about the staff as they are so attentive to anything that you need. I've even taken a small group of 12 people here and every single one enjoyed their meals. I will definitely be a regular customer when I'm in town.
