Kitchen Social

You get what you pay for - great prices but mediocre food, standard service, concerning hygiene practices, and overall unremarkable. Let’s start with my concerns over food hygiene practices. Towards the end of my meal there was an accident where a server dropped dishes by the food window/expediting station. The guy at this station did a nice thing by helping the server pick up what was dropped. My issue: he then proceeded to handle food/plates without washing his hands!! If this is the practice of the kitchen staff out in the public dining room then Lord knows what they’re doing behind the scenes. This is how people get sick. It’s pretty simple, if you touch the floor or a dirty object then go wash your hands! As for the food, it was decent but nothing to write home about and definitely not worth going out of your way. Our table ordered the burger with fries, the Thai chicken bowl, and the Szechuan noodles. There was nothing wrong with the food per se but there also wasn’t anything remarkable about it. My dinner, the Szechuan noodles, I’d compare to the quality of a frozen dinner or really cheap takeout. Super sugary sauce that overwhelmed the plate, small portion, and the chicken tasted hyper processed somehow which I attribute to it likely being cooked way ahead of time and then just dumped on the plate for each order. Just my guess, though. The service was pretty standard for a restaurant. Our server was lovely but often went missing. Also, given where our table was positioned near a high top servers had to squeeze by the chairs at the tables end, often bumping into my mom’s seat. This is jarring as you’re trying to eat. The one thing to note about the atmosphere is the noise level. I could not hear the person sitting next to me. Between the loud music and the insane amount of noise from diners I couldn’t wait to leave. Overall, if you want an affordable meal and don’t mind the cons outlined above then it light be worth a visit for you. I, however, cannot recommend this experience.

Kitchen Social is one of my favorite places to go for dinner. Their drinks are good. Food is amazing. Atmosphere is always a good vibe. The staff is fast, knowledgeable about the menu and kind. I recommend getting there before rush hours so you don’t have to wait or make a reservation. In the nicer months the patio is open to the whole restaurant and you feel the nice weather throughout the place. Specialty cocktails and the usual drafts will give you plenty to enjoy.

Kitchen Social in Westlake, Ohio is always amazing. The food never disappoints—everything on the menu is so good. The cauliflower appetizer is always a go-to, but honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything you order. Our waiter, Michael, made the experience even better. He was amazing and so funny, which made the night that much more enjoyable. Great food, great service, and always a great time.

I'd give it a "3.5" rather than a "4" f I could. We came here for a birthday for a casual dinner on a Monday night, nothing too fancy. Food: I believe we had the chicken farroto, chicken sandwich, chicken katsu, and the shrimp salad. Food was fine, nothing was particularly wrong with it but it most definitely didn't blow us away. One complained it was too salty. Presentation was really nice considering you're not at a fancy restaurant or anything. Everything tasted as expected with no issues, although you could definitely make pretty much everything at home. Huge plus is that, comparatively to other places, food was affordable and satisfying enough. Service: Service was great!! Had Andrew as a server and he took great care of us along with his manager. Had an issue with one of the cocktails not coming out and they replaced it quickly and the best that they could. Really good service! Atmosphere: It seemed fine- they were playing music and it was pretty packed, which unfortunately led to it being pretty loud and felt like I had to really raise my voice to talk to my girl and her family. Solid place, nothing crazy, if you like the food or want a quick bite without issues, go for it!

Kitchen Social is a vibrant, modern American restaurant where the core concept is right in the name: social connection. It's a popular destination, often bustling with energy, making it an ideal spot for group gatherings, family dinners, or a lively date night. The interior typically features a contemporary, industrial-chic design with an open kitchen, allowing diners to see the culinary team at work. This "scratch-kitchen" philosophy is central to their brand, emphasizing fresh ingredients and food made to order. The menu is diverse, offering elevated takes on American comfort food. While starters like the famous Cheddar + Scallion Biscuits are a frequent highlight, the hearth-baked pizzas are a significant draw. Opting for a classic pepperoni pizza with the addition of fresh mushrooms provides a perfect example of their quality. The pizza features a crisp, nicely charred crust, generous, savory toppings, and a robust tomato sauce. This satisfying meal, especially when paired with one of their signature craft cocktails or a selection from the extensive drink menu, encapsulates the restaurant's appeal. Kitchen Social successfully creates an atmosphere that is both high-energy and welcoming, encouraging guests to settle in and enjoy good food and good company.

Went to Kitchen Social today and wow… everything was perfect. The seating was beautiful, the decor was gorgeous, and our food came out so fast. The hummus? Hands down the best I’ve ever had in my life. Drinks were amazing, service was on point, and the whole vibe just felt fun and relaxed. Can’t wait to go back.

I love every and each dish from the menu, nice cocktails and good atmosphere. I’m a long time client since 2023, and this place has never disappointed me 👍

Came here for my birthday with a group of 5. I had made a reservation but the entire group had accidentally gone to the wrong chain. Server was extremely kind and patient about it, even though it took them like 30 minutes to arrive. The food was super good. Like crazy good. Whoever had the genius idea to put salmon and salad on top of hummus needs a raise. They even gave me a free desert when they found out it was my birthday. I’m definitely going again when I have the budget for it. My only complaint is it was so loud I couldn’t hear anyone on the other end of the table and it kind of ruined the experience for me.

A friend from Dayton recommended this place and we were pleased to see that there was a location around where we were staying. We've never heard of it before but it looks like it's a small chain of a lot of the modern American fair that is popping up these days. We got in around 7:00 on a Saturday evening without any reservations needed but it was pretty busy. Our waiter was super friendly and overall the place looked clean and vibrating! My husband and I shared the cheddar and scallion biscuits appetizer. This was excellent! It was pretty cheap and it was so darn good. The butter they gave even made it better. Definitely worth getting every single time! We both ended up having the pimento cheeseburger because it just looked so good. And it was! Literally one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. The pimento cheese with the perfectly cooked burger and the candied bacon just made it so darn good. Five stars for sure!

This is a solid place to grab dinner with a friend. We came here for dinner midweek around 6 and it was already getting quite full. Given how much of a large open space this is, it does get quite loud. The kitchen is open so you can see them make the food which is always interesting. My friend opted for the crispy chicken salad and I opted for my once-in-a-blue-moon burger, specifically the double stack burger. Both were solid choices with no complaints here. Their menu in general had some interesting flavors so I'm interested to come back and try more.

This was our first visit to Kitchen Social and we were so happy we stopped in! Our server, Alyssa, was so patient with us and happily helped with our food choices. We started with the champagne flight and bloody Mary, both which were very good. We tried the shrimp 'n grits and breakfast taco, both delicious but the shrimp 'n grits won out! Our food arrived quickly (almost a little too fast to be able to enjoy our brunch drinks), but we appreciated the efficiency especially because they were very busy for Saturday brunch. We also really appreciated the manager, Nick, who made it a point to come to our table to greet us and be sure that everything was to our satisfaction. We are new to the area and he shared great information. It really made us feel like valued customers! We will definitely be back.

Went to Kitchen Social for lunch and it is a wham bam thank you mam kind of place. Food is fine, not special. Service efficient not personal. Feels like a chain restaurant

Another 5 star visit! Always great service! The brunch carbonara is amazing! Cheddar scallion biscuits yummo and my niece always gets the chorizo hash! Our family loves this place!

American food with an Asian flair Highly recommend making reservations. We went on a Friday and it was very busy. Since we had a reservation we were seated quickly. Lynn was our server and she was great. Friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. I tried the shrimp and grits and the bbq cauliflower. Both had great sauces and were delicious. My husband had the burger and fries. They have a great menu with varying options to please anyone. I will warn that the place is very load.

We walked into Kitchen Social around 7pm on a Friday night and was lucky enough to snag 2 bar seats! We ordered two cocktails, I got the passionfruit cocktail and my Fiance got the old fashioned. I thought my cocktail was fairly well balanced but on the sweeter side for sure. I really wanted to try their eggplant meatballs but unfortunately they were already sold out! So we got their famous biscuits and fried shrimp appetizer. Unfortunately the food was underwhelming. The biscuits were very greasy and the shrimp was again nothing to write home about. They had a decent wine list and their cocktails were solid. I would go back for happy hour for the vibes but would skip the food! 4/5 for drinks and ambiance 2/5 for food

Quick seating, exceptional, friendly professional service. Shrimp and grits! Highly recommend! Cinnabiscuit a must! Chicken tacos were off the hook! Our server, Hannah...Best Server in years!!!

The food is good, i like it. I tried couple of dishes. Service is great. Last time i was there it was very hot inside and lots of flies, a tiny fly jumped into my food and stuck there and bigger ones were roaming around. That's the worst experience you can get at a restaurant. I won't be coming back there until the management do something about this problem.

Our waitress "Lynne" was exquisite in service and personality. Our food "pimento cheese burger, salmon salad and short rib carrot hummus was outstanding! Lynne made several recommendations and checked back with us with perfect timing and the managers were extremely helpful and friendly and also checked in on us. The food was the perfect portion and the perfect temperature and presentation and delicious. We had virtually no wait time we did make reservations however but the seating was comfortable. The ambience was friendly and fun. We will definitely be back. They have a brunch that looked amazing and the prices were very very reasonable on the entire menu.

All the food was delicious and did not last on the table long. The drinks were delicious. The starters were amazing. I also got the Thai chicken bowl which was slightly spicy, but so good!!! Would definitely recommend and be returning. The service was excellent and very fast!

So amazing! Flew into town and was looking for something local and yummy! Service was great! Amazing cocktail and loved the shrimp bowl.

Grabbed dinner here on a Saturday night with my husband. We did not have a reservation and the wait was 45 mins so we decided to wait out some seats at the bar. We snagged a seat in about 5 mins as the bar is huge and there is a ton of seating. The food was great! We started with the chips, queso, and guac. It was tasty. Then I had the fried chicken sandwich and my husband had the shrimp bowl. Both were super tasty! Will be back to try more. Love how big of a menu they have

Walked in as a single and was seated immediately. Abby was an excellent server. Asked for 3 recommendations and took one of them. The Miso Salmon was incredible. I added a Social House salad and thought it was awesome too. I highly recommend stopping by for dinner.

Visiting from California and went there for lunch. The tempura shrimp salad bowl was health and delicious. The server was prompt and courteous. The restaurant was fun and had a good vibe. I would definitely go back. Lots of choices for any appetite.

Got the kitchen social salad to go. Not sure I liked it enough to get it again. Might come back to dine in for cocktails or brunch. Service and ambiance were nice

Visiting from Ca and walked in for dinner. The atmosphere was beautiful, food amazing (Peruvian steaks) and our server Barry was the best! I definitely recommend it!!

Food was really good. Got the biscuits shareable and a cheeseburger. The candied bacon on the burger is a nice surprise from a normal bacon offering. Service was good and ambiance of location was really cool. Modern and had big bay doors open so lots of light and a breeze.

We were a party of 5 - here for brunch, we visited on a Saturday and didn't have a reservation but we managed to get a place in about 10-15 mins. We ordered a bunch of things husband got the homestyle with 2 extra scrambled eggs, while I got the chicken and waffles and then we shared a creme brulee french toast for the table. The chicken and waffle was "chef's kiss" to say the least. The chicken tenders were just that tender and soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, juice and absolute yummmmm!! The waffles were uhhmazinngggg, and the maple syrup was to die for - that is one of the best chicken and waffles I've had in Cleveland. The french toast was ok, I wish it was a tad sweeter and idky but the creme brulee wasn't brulee-ing iykwim. Kitchen social has never disappointed me in the past even when we've been here for dinner in the past (love their biscuits and fried chicken sandwich). Love it recommend it and personally, will be coming back for sure.

Fantastic happy hour!! I can't wait to go back here. The drinks were quite good, even the margaritas which are usually all mix and no alcohol. The bartender who helped us was cool too. Very down to earth and we really liked her. The happy hour menu can't be beat for the prices and the food was great. Inside it's a very warm, modern atmosphere with whites and blues and wooden accent decor. I recommend going here for happy hour any day!

Top notch service. Super cute spot! And the food matched the vibe. Everything we had was Fresh and super tasty. Would come back for sure.

I've been 3 times. Great service, great pizza, crunchy chicken salad was great, clam chowder needs a little love... 0 clam bits in it, and came out cold. I'll be back!

Nice new restaurant and very busy. Enjoyed the shrimp appetizer and was surprised by the price of a bottle of Caymus. Only $100! Enjoyed our wine and had good service.

Great Service and outstanding food! Was there for my daughter in law's birthday! We had cocktails which we enjoyed very much! The atmosphere and food were fun and inviting! Will definitely return!

We really like @kitchensocial614 . In this case the one at @crockerpark in Westlake. On this family night out we got the Thai Shrimp, the Whipped Feta cheese, Queso and chips, 2 chicken sandwiches( my oldest son thinks their Chicken sandwich is the best) and a large salad. A margarita to get the ball rolling. Great menu, great service and the only negative is how loud the place is. But it is always crowded so that is a good sign.

The pastas and butter cake were delicious, and the overall food quality was good. Parking was super easy, and we only had to wait about 15 minutes on a Friday night around 7:30 PM for a table of four, which was a pleasant surprise. Service was decent--our drinks did run low a few times, but when we asked for refills, they were brought without delay. However, the noise level was extremely loud, making it hard to hear anyone at our table. Also, some items, like the fries with the fish and chips, were overly salty. All that to say, I would consider coming back, maybe for brunch next time.

WHERE DO I BEGIN!!!! This place was so beyond wonderful! We came after work for dinner and some drinks! We got sat right away and our waitress Natalie was so so so sweet! She made sure we were well taken care of and knew everything about the menu! For drinks I got the Forget Me Not, which was so good it could be dangerous drinking those all night! My friend got the Spicy Daze Marg, which she got two of because they were so good, not so spicy that you need to chug water and the tajin rim brings it all together! We started off with the whipped feta and OMG was it delicious, even without the bread we tried the feta and it was so so good! For dinner, I got the fish and chips, which was a huge portion (good for an after work empty belly)! After squeezing the lemon on my fish, the homemade tartar sauce brought the whole dish together, I even finished it with my fries/chips it was so delicious! My friend go the grilled chicken tacos with some chips and salsa and he said they did not disappoint! All the flavors paired well together and he only wished he had more to eat! My other friend got the Margherita pizza and added pepperoni on it! (Our server told us that they make the dough homemade every day!) They also make everything to order so you can pretty much customize your dishes to your needs/wants. My friend ate all but 2 pieces of her pizza and said it was one of the best pizzas she's had! I 1000% recommend giving this place a try! The restaurant itself is beautiful and even has an outdoor/indoor bar! This place would be perfect for a date, happy hour (all apps are 1/2 off), a birthday dinner, or like we did-dinner and drinks after work! I will definitely be coming back here soon...it might be one of my new favorite places around Cleveland!

Service was good. Food was okay. Tried the Tempura Shrimp Bowl ; carry out Chicken Katsu. Cheddar Scallion biscuits. Biscuits were the best. Tempura Shrimp okay, chicken katsu was disappointing. Chicken was dried out.

Cocktails are great but thought the food was a little bland. Ambiance was good but overall won't be going back.

Great food, price, and service. This is going to become my new go-to for a guaranteed nice dinner experience.

This was our first time here and the food was fresh and delicious. We shared the crab toast and harvest salad. The crab salad on the toast was creamy and yummy but the toast was a bit soggy underneath. My husband's salad was fresh and I was impressed with the ingredients all being chopped about the same size. No huge chunks of lettuce or onion and tiny bits of chicken or pecans. Loved that! Overall, refreshing menu options. Mitchell was our server. He was pleasant and upbeat. He made recommendations and paid attention to special requests. We arrived a little before noon and it was fairly quiet. By the time we left, the place was busy with a lot more of a business crowd. I can't wait to return and try other options like the shrimp tacos and a different salad.

cauliflower korean BBQ is to go for .. I tried Columbus and pinecrest locations and they were great . same quality with fresh food music was nice and staff were friendly

Great restaurant to go to when you don't know what you want to eat. They have a little bit of everything on the menu. The ambiance is wonderful with a bunch of natural light and lots of seating. Friendly staff.

My daughter and I went there for brunch. We were seated at a comfortable table and had friendly service. That's where the "good" ends. Our appetizer arrived soon enough but we'd gotten one bite each before our meals arrived. Needless to say that was far too fast. My daughter's eggs were clearly powdered (trust me, I was in the army and KNOW powdered eggs). Our potatoes were dry as all get-out, and my plate was made of wood that clearly had been warped by the dishwasher. My fork would cause my plate to seesaw and food to roll off the plate, so I had to use one hand to eat and another to keep the plate still. My daughter's eggs had a hair in them and my breakfast tacos also had a hair in one of them. Edit: last thing I forgot - my daughter ordered an orange juice and each time it came (and the refills) the small cup was half full. Two normal sips and it was gone. This was a poor experience that my daughter and I both rated 4.4/10. We will not return.

We tried to go here. Clicked on Kitchen Social's listing on Yelp and hit maps and clicked directions. It took us to Carrabba's (a sponsor on the page we saw) instead. We thought maybe Kitchen Social was closed. Only to find out it was 2 miles down the road. Won't be trusting Yelp for directions. And I know for certain I didn't select Carrabba's by accident. FYI.

Kitchen Social is one of my favorite places to come to for brunch! The service is amazing, food is phenomenal, and the ambiance is chill.

It took awhile to find this restaurant (located across from Crocker Park) but well worth the visit. I stopped in for lunch and there were a couple tables open and several high top tables in the bar area, which is where I was seated. I felt cramped because there was little room between the bar and my table but since I was alone it made sense not to take a large table for myself. There were many menu choices with something for everyone. Although there were no "daily specials" but it was easy to find something on the menu. I had the fish and chips (fries) that was served hot and just the right amount of breading. Fries were freshly cooked and cole slaw was good. The Server, Mary, was attentive and offered several menu suggestions. Will definitely be returning to Kitchen Social.

Went for lunch and it was busy. Ordered the burger and fries and it was just okay. It was soggy.

Service-Awesome Food-Awesome Wine Selection-Good (I am a picky wine drinker, so I'm hard to please)

I definitely found my new favorite pizza! If you like a crunchy crust & lots of buttery sautéed mushrooms order this pizza. The queso/guac, salmon, and chicken meatball pasta are also fantastic. I have eaten here several times now & have never been disappointed. The best part, every server and host I have encountered have been so friendly and welcoming. They truly make it a great experience.

They've been open for a week so we decided to pop in for dinner. Our server Camdyn was awesome. She gave us some good recommendations and was super friendly. We loved the food! I had the Szechuan noodles which were spicy, but not too spicy. Chris had the tofu bowl. It was a warm night so the doors were open & it was a fun vibe. We are definitely going back!

The space is beautiful. I went for brunch with a group of women. The food was good, the service was good but nothing stood out as great. It's a solid place, I want to try it for dinner sometime.

Tonight we went to Kitchen Social for the first time. We had their biscuit skillet for an appetizer - very flavorful and not dry. A good combination of savory (cheddar cheese) and sweet honey butter with a little crystal sugar on the top crust. We had the hot chicken platter - slight spice in the batter, great hot honey, fries and a little bite to the Cole slaw. Very good. And then we had their butter cake for dessert. The service was good, Mary our server was kind and explained the menu to us, the Manager Mike was super friendly and came over to visit us as we were visiting from out of town. Definitely would return. It was busy and place was packed so I would definitely recommend making reservations. It had great, vibrant energy.

Great happy hour. Discounts on appetizers, pizza and drinks. Always love their biscuits! Service is great.

Food was great and our service was outstanding! My friends and I stopped in for food & drinks after our yoga class not realizing they were closing soon, our waiter made us feel welcomed and not rushed.

Such a cool spot with awesome food. This place has the right formula. Bright and airy modern farmhouse-ish decore. There's 80s 90s hit music playing in the background but not loud enough to interfere with a pleasant conversation. Drinks are well priced and very well crafted. I had an express martini and my husband had their mojito. Both were made very well. The food is really good and eclectic. The Korean bbq cauliflower is incredibly good. If you love carbs then please do not pass up their biscuits. They are deliciously buttery and a carb lovers dream. The crispy chicken sandwich is absolutely perfect. Crispy exterior with a juicy and well made center, dressed with the right mix of toppings. The Szechuan noodles hit the spot. Well made ramen style noodles in a just enough spicy sauce with chicken and mushrooms. Let's not forget the service. Our server was very friendly and knew the menu very well. Food comes out super fast which is a plus. Overall this is a must repeat for us.

Great food and drinks. The Mimosa samplers are a perfect start to the day! Tasty and a great selection. We had blood orange, orange, and pineapple.

My husband came on a Saturday night and it was busy! We got quoted a 45-60 minute wait but only took 20, glad we stayed around. Really pretty inside, reminded me of being in Chicago. I ordered the burger. Disappointed that the bottom bun was soggy but it still hit the spot. My husband got the chicken sandwich and he really enjoyed it. The French fries were super good too.

My husband and I finally went to Kitchen Social, after hearing a few friends rave about the food. We went on a Saturday, about 5pm. We were seated immediately. But right after a wait line began. We ordered an appetizer of crispy shrimp. It came to the table, not looking very crispy. But it was delicious. My husband chose the Szechwan Noodles for his entree and I chose the Fried Chicken. The food came out pretty promptly. Both plates were very tasty. Service was professional and attentive. Nice atmosphere. But the high industrial ceilings make for a very noisy restaurant. All in all a very good experience.
