Little Valentine's fun last night, tried something new and so glad we did. So delicious! A four course Valentine’s dinner and not a single rush to leave. High quality food and service! It was so busy, but was seated down 20 minutes after arriving and took advantage of the valet since it was raining! We had an amazing Valentine’s experience. The 4 course meal was beautifully done and everything we ordered was delicious. We tried almost everything except the seabass and by the time dessert came out we were so full we had to take it home, which is never a bad problem to have. The atmosphere was perfect for a night out. It felt relaxed and welcoming while still being upscale without feeling uncomfortable. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive and made sure everything flowed smoothly from start to finish. Also worth mentioning, the bathrooms were very clean which always says a lot about a place. Overall, a wonderful experience with great food, great service, and a night we truly enjoyed. We will definitely be back. What we had: Appetizer Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail Poached Gulf White Shrimp, Fresh Horseradish, Cocktail Sauce Big Game Hunter Ragout Bison, Elk, Wild Boar, Radiatori Pasta, Ricotta Soup or Salad Caesar Salad Meyer Lemon, White Anchovy, Brown Butter & Garlic Crostini Lobster Bisque Maine Lobster, Golden Sherry, Double Cream, Chives Entrée Grilled Filet Mignon Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes, Asparagus, Au Poivre Sauce Chilean Seabass Roasted Red Bell Pepper Risotto Cake, Leek & Crab Fondue, Smoked Paprika Butter Marinated Pork Ribeye Sweet Potato Casserole, Spiced Brussels Sprouts, Garlic Herb Sauce Dessert Chocolate & Strawberry Mousse Cake Dark Chocolate, Fresh Strawberry, Vanilla Bean Carrot Cake Candied Carrot, Madagascar Vanilla, Spiced Cake

Do yourself a favor and try the fried chicken breast. It is perfectly seasoned. Perfectly breaded. Perfectly fried. Perfect. The Mac and cheese was delicious. The greens were the right combination of vinegar sweetness - no bitterness at all. End with the lemon ice box pie and you will feel like you just had Sunday lunch at your grandma's. The service was impeccable. Ask for Zach. He is fantastic.

2 of my best girlfriends and I visited Sept 21st and was truly impressed by the service, the atmosphere, food and drinks. Our waiter Will was AMAZING! I hope he is there every time I visit. He was attentive, polite and professional. We started with drinks. All of them were delish! The atmosphere was casual yet a bit elegant fpr that touch of romantic atmosphere. Then the food...I ordered the Redfish & Lumpcrab (mild on the spice) and it was Delish! Also ordered was the Shrimp pasta with an array of sauteed mushrooms and Fried Chicken Breast with Mac & Cheese . That chicken breast was the most tender and moist fried breast I had ever tasted 😋 Of course I tried their dishes and EVERYTHING was very tasty! And because it was my birthday, I was treated with a creme brulee that satified my sweet tooth. I can't wait to return and try one of those 3 again!

This place was awesome! The food was excellent, I had the pecan crusted salmon with cranberries/butternut squash, and hubby had the Tomahawk Pork Chop with sweet potato casserole and Brussels sprouts… sooooo good! We had the wedge salad and a cup of gumbo to start … again … yum! The Cab Flight of three different wines was fun/yummy with large 2 oz pours! Olivia was our waitress and she was super friendly, and attentive and made our experience pleasant! Kind of a fancy spot.

Not a lot of menu options... The Garlic lamb spare ribs were little to no meat on them so I still felt hungry after and they're too spicy for me. My harvest salad was delicious though. Service was excellent!

We went tonight for our first wedding anniversary. I made a reservation online that included complimentary valet parking, so that was a pleasant start. We were greeted by very friendly staff. They brought us complimentary chocolate-covered strawberries and champagne as an anniversary gift. Everything was great, but those deviled eggs stole the show. Special shoutout to our server, Nya. She was fantastic and took great care of us.

What a fabulous dinner! We are traveling and doing through Memphis and happened up the Southern Social. We chose it because I caned the redfish and lump carb dinner. This place did not disappoint. We sat on the patio on a perfect evening and had a fabulous dinner. Kiley was our server and she was friendly, charming, helpful and efficient. Wow!! 10 out of 10 for us tonight.

Great atmosphere. We celebrated our mom’s 70th birthday here. They even personalized our party menus. Great service!!! Good food! Child friendly.

The food and service as always great. Went there for our anniversary dinner, but I made a reservation for the wrong day. Yeah, I know. They immediately offered us a table on the patio. Not what I wanted, but was happy to be seated. Our server was very nice and accommodating. She brought us two chocolate strawberries and two glasses of champagne to celebrate our anniversary. The wife order the pork chop, and I had the fried chicken. Both were delicious and both were plenty to eat. The chicken was moist and tender and she said the pork chop was very tasteful. I was going to try the turnip greens, but our server recommended the sweet potato casserole. She was not wrong, loved it! Just a big thank you for accompanying my error and saving the evening. We will be back.

We had a reservation for 7:45 but we didn't get seated till almost an hour later due to another party chatting and the staff didn't want to ask them to leave. After they were finally finished, we were seated and our waiter came right over and took orders. Also, we were seated outside, and the heater didn't work. I ordered a lemon drop and it tasted "dirty"..I know sounds crazy but another lady said hers tasted the same. Moving on, I had the pasta with shrimp. I liked the pasta, whatever cheeses were used were really good. Overall, i would try them again to see if my rating would change!

Spectacular service, flavorful dishes, and intimate dining. The elk, boar, and bison meatloaf had a sweet yet savory taste. The customer service was top tier as well.

We went here for one last date night before the arrival of our baby and everything was delicious. We started with the Fried Pimento Cheese Sandwiches. I got the Shrimp & Grits and my husband got the Tomahawk Pork Chop. We ended with the seasonal Blackberry Fried Pies & Ice Cream. Everything was very yummy, and our server was great! I'd highly recommend for a quiet date night.

We visited on a Wednesday evening and made a reservation. The staff were extremely outgoing and friendly. We tried several dishes and drinks, and the food was phenomenal.

Ok. I never give anyone five stars. This was totally five stars or more. Family dinner. Pasta was amazing. We added marinated mushrooms which made it even better. The appetizer pimento and cheese sandwiches were so different and amazing. Flavorful. Brussels and asparagus were pretty blah. Mac n cheese was good but on the dry side. Porch chop-- freaking amazing. Mashed potatoes were very good. Cocktails. The wine list was only so so. No holiday cocktails this year. Last year we liked the white cosmo. We subbed vodka in for the bourbon in the socialite and it was refreshing. The baileys flight was very good but disappointedly small. Salmon was five stars and this is a picky salmon crew. Totally a do over again and again. Service is always amazing. Alec was our server and he was awesome.

The food was amazing. Callie was our server, the service was outstanding. We would definitely choose her to be our server next time. All around great experience.

I think Southern Social has really great ambiance (sans the TVs at the bar which are, no matter where you go, tacky for a restuarant like this). Service was excellent and I for one appreciate a server who smiles- I don't care what you say... Foodwise - yeah not too shabby. We loved the fried pimento sandwiches though it was too much and they weren't all evenly sized (not sure why that irks me). The best thing we had was the pork chop. Very, very nice. Salad was good... the shrimp pasta was tasty but not special at all. They could've done more with that dish. All-in-all, a very nice Friday night dinner. We understand the popularity of this place. We'll also probably return...

I love this place for a special occasion dinner. Their service is always top notch. If you are celebrating something when you make your reservation, they will customize the menu to say Happy Birthday or Anniversary. It is one of my top special occasion restaurants.

TL;DR: Really fun relaxed environment serving great food. The staff is a little green in both taking orders and serving but overall a good eating experience Ordered: - Deviled eggs and crispy gulf oysters (3/5): normally love both components individually so we ordered this thinking it would be great. Disappointed table :/ - Shrimp cocktail (3/5): average shrimp, nothing noteworthy - Fried pimento cheese sandwiches (4.5/5): GET THESE. Also get some other people to eat it with you. Such good flavors but that much fried bread and cheese gets heavy quick. - Chilean sea bass (4/5): Good sear on the halibut and pairs well with the sauce. Yummy fish dish overall. - Asparagus (4/5) - Pork chop with Brussels (4/5): cooked through but a little on the well-done side. Brussels paired well with the herb butter Will be back - cheers, Southern Social!

How cow! This is a high end, date-night restaurant bring your husband, boyfriend,, wife, maybe even your girlfriend to this wonderful place. It has BBQ dishes but is much much more than that. First, the staff are highly professional, doting and there are tons of them. The waiter, the room Maitre d' and many others speckled around the restaurant. They care! The music was barely discernible and might have been the bar Tv din reaching out table. The chatter was a little loud so that I had to talk loudly to be heard and place a cupped hand to my ear to hear. :-( Maybe the owner should consider heavy drapes or sound deadening wall and ceiling coverings. The fried pimento cheese sandwich was stupendous! It was fried to a perfect crispy crust, the cheese was melted to a velvety smooth dollop and served on a very shallow pond of toothsome sauce. The fried chicken was a show stopper, eating it was a drop-the-mike moment and truly one of the best I've ever had...by far. Perfect crust and seasoned and cooked just right, plus moist and very flavorful chicken. The tater tots were not so crisp, not much honey and the jalapeño specs were concentrated onto a few of the tots rather than applied to all or most. Suggestion to chef--brush on a light coat of honey then place in a bag with finely minced jalapeño and lightly shake. Just trust me. Try it. The biscuit was excellent --cooked just right and prepared with conscience and thought. Moist and some wonderful spread was a pleasant surprise. If go back!

The only thing I was impressed with was the candied yams that had pecans in it. This place is highly overrated in my opinion. Food was not good but hey... try it for yourself.

Finally tried this place after visiting Coastal Fish and Porch and Parlor (related brands from my understanding). The decor was gorgeous, old Southern charm with dark, hard woods, chandeliers, and tufted booths. We had a reservation and they honored, about 10 minutes past time which was ok with us. We had a very friendly server who made great recommendations to us. I went with the Sea Bass with yukon whipped potatoes and a chopped salad (Romaine, Iceberg, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Black-eyed Peas, Bell Pepper, Celery, Grape Tomato Feta Cheese, and Green Peppercorn Buttermilk Dressing) to start. I also tried the Socialite cocktail which contained 1792 Small Batch Bourbon, Peach Liqueur Honey, Mint, and Lime. Really well mixed cocktail and the peach was a nice touch. I also tried The Memphian (because, duh) which had Huling Station Bourbon, Domaine Canton, Luxardo Cherry, Lemon, and Bitters. It wasn't as refreshing as the Socialite but was well made and was smooth. Everything was very good but I took off one star because the sea bass was lacking a bit in flavor and didn't seem as tender as I've had it in other establishments. Would absolutely return and try other menu items. I spent ~$120 including the tip. There is limited street and lot parking with complimentary valet.

Addendum 07/01/2024: I have raised my rating to 5 stars after speaking to the Southern Social management. I expressed my concern for the moderate loudness of the main dining area and possible solutions.The discussion was meaningful and sincere. As a result of that interaction, I will raise my score pending later re-evaluation of it.

Southern Social never disappoints. From the moment you get on the lot to the time you leave, employees are attentive, timely, and courteous. The food is always cooked to perfection and serving sizes are more than enough for one person. This place is a vibe...great for family time, socializing with friends, or date night.

Great food and great service! We go here often and I highly recommend it! The pork chop is fantastic and the fried chicken is wonderful

Approaching the building you get cute, cozy and quaint vibes. They offer valet parking so score there. You can also self park. They have two outdoor patios, a very nice bar area and then regular seating. Reservations highly recommended especially on the weekends. Walking in you are greeted at the door and every single person working stops and speaks. They're overly pleasant and I greatly appreciated it. Once my party of 5 was seated we had absolutely no wait. Hannah was AMAZING! She was attentive, kind, knowledgeable and patient. Now on to the food. Now this was a hit or miss with each guest. I had the redfish and crab entree that came with asparagus and grits. I'm not a grit person with fish but if that's your preference you should enjoy it. Two guests have steaks and they enjoyed them. Not the best but cooked to perfection and juicy. Another guest had the shrimp and grits and absolutely loved it. The fried chicken was massive but lacked seasoning. But to be a breast it was juicy. The greens were vinegary (if that's a word) so not everyone enjoyed that. They were decent to me. The Mac and cheese was over baked so a tad bit dry. But the loaded mashed were out of sight. Perfection. The rolls were a hit and one of my guests had 4!! And as an appetizer we had the deviled eggs with the fried oysters and we asked them to separate the two. Each had a decent taste but again lacked seasoning. Would I return? YES! And guess what, not the food but for the service. It's not many places now that provide that exceptional level of care. Oh and how can I forget the best part of my meal (which I didn't get a picture of) was......the creme brûlée. OMG. The best I've had so far. It's a #1 tie between another local establishment. I believe if they offered a bit more seasoning on certain items, they would have received 5 stars. The service alone is a 10!

We dined here for my husband's birthday. Overall the hostess, our server were very pleasant. The reason for the three stars was solely based on the quality of the food. Our appetizer was great and our dessert was amazing. As for our main course it lack seasoning. We had to ask the server for melted garlic butter and seasoning to help bring some flavor to our meal. My husband has never not finished a steak and lobster dish and this was his first time. This was our first time and will be our last time sadly. I would like to try their sister restaurant Porch and Parlor. Other than the food the restaurant was nicely decorated and played great dinner music.

Went for our anniversary dinner. Isaiah (I think that's his name) was our server. He was phenomenal. Very nice and well spoken young man. They brought us champagne and chocolate covered strawberries for our anniversary. That was a very nice touch. We started with BBQ shrimp for an appetizer. It was good. I ordered the pork chop and substituted Mac and Cheese for my side. It was soooo good. My husband ordered Redfish and he was pleased. We ended with strawberry cake. It was good too. You can never go wrong with Southern Social!

Tomahawk Pork Chop. We were just stopping over in Germantown for the night. I popped open my trusty Yelp app for help. The restaurant has a really good vibe, felt like a neighborhood spot where everyone knew each other. Will was our server and did a phenomenal job. The food from the Brussels sprouts all the way thru the pork chop was exceptional. Great value for the quality and ambiance.

I had a really nice Christmas Eve dinner here with my wife. The service was personable and fairly efficient. The atmosphere was casual, but many of us diners dressed up anyway. For appetizers, I shared some of my barbecue shrimp, which came in a delicious sauce which was a twist on bbq and perhaps chocolate? I ate all my delicious and fresh quarter wedge salad myself, however. I was so impressed with the fried chicken breast. It came with gourmet mac & cheese and field greens full of bits of ham. The portion sizes were massive! My wife had the tomahawk pork chop, which was tasty, moist, delicious, and huge! Omg! Despite the lateness of the day and thus knowing better, I availed myself of their coffee, adding obscene amounts of cream. Ah, decadence. The restaurant's French pastry chef (yep, he's from France) put together a special crème brûlée caramel dessert, so of course we said yes. So damned delicious!

Return trip for an anniversary dinner. New Orleans style shrimp for an appetizer, fillet for dinner and great drinks/wine. Always recommend! Great environment and service is top notch!

The moment you arrive, you're treated wonderfully by valet service and enthusiastically at the hostess stand. The hostesses are always one of our favorite parts of our visits! Ambiance is elegant; typical to what you'd expect at a fine dining restaurant, but nothing that "wows" you. I do enjoy the more modern "southern" music playlist though; it's unusual for a fine dining restaurant but adds a great vibe. Service at the tables is a bit slow; I've been told this is intentional so as to not make patrons feel rushed, but it can be far too slow at times with wait staff not checking in for some time. Drinks from the bar are *chef's kiss* perfection, even tricky ones, and the martini and beer glasses are chilled, which is a lovely touch. Their drink menu is expansive, and we enjoy the wine flights they offer. The food is good, though not great. Again, nothing "wows" us. It's good. Just good. At this price point, I'd love to be wowed. The menu isn't as expansive as I'd like and they miss the mark by being a "southern" restaurant but not offering fried green tomatoes (I get it, what sells stays!). At a lower price point, this would be five stars, but I've been several times and have yet to walk away feeling more than mediocre, which lends its way to the three star rating.

Service was amazing. I took my mom here for her birthday, and she loved it. I ordered the surf and turf, and she ordered shrimp and grits. We went on a Sunday and it wasn't too busy at all. The atmosphere was wholesome.

Great place for an intimate dinner! We were celebrating my best friend's birthday and we loved it!! We were able to make dinner reservations so there was no wait. Our server was really sweet, but I forgot her name, but she kept our glasses full and didn't allow our table to get cluttered with dishes as we know it can happen with a large party. I loved the lighting and even though every table was full, the noise level never became absurd. All of our dishes were great!! Plates were cleaned! The only complaint I have is that the Mac and cheese needed a little more seasoning, but that's also my personal preference. This was a great experience and I'd definitely come back often if I lived here!!

there hasn't been a time i've dined at Southern Social where i've had a bleak experience. once again, my family and I enjoyed our dining experience. the servers are endearing, attentive, and knowledgeable. the ambiance is dim inside but the patio is ALWAYS ready for you even in the winter. the flavor profiles for each meal were absolutely exquisite and there wasn't a sauce left on the plate! also, the manager here is truly one of a kind. he remembers our faces and is sure to show us his appreciation every time we stop in! yall are amazing!

Celebrated our 30th Anniversary here. Had the tomahawk pork chop with sweet potato casserole and brussel sprouts. My wife had the fried chicken, Mac and cheese and turnip greens. The food was fantastic. Don't miss the deviled eggs and crispy oyster appetizer with bacon jam. The entire staff was very friendly. Marcus was an amazing sever. Will ask for him again when we return. The rustic building was very nice. Felt like I was dining an old colonial home. One of the best places in Memphis.

Great atmosphere and service was impeccable! We enjoyed the deviled eggs with fried oysters on top as an appetizer. I had redfish with crab and it was great, but too large of a serving for me to finish. Kids had lasagna and meatloaf which they devoured. Hubby had the fried chicken which he said was juicy and the best he's ever had. For desert, we tried the blackberry fried pie and bread pudding. If we ever travel back to Memphis, we will be going back here for sure!

Service has taken a step back from where it was. Clientele is more middle of the road; doesn't feel as upscale as it used to be. Food was a bit off the last time I went: the cut of the steak I had was more grainy than usual. Taste was still above average. Hoping this is but a small part of reminding Southern Social what is has been; but I'm tempted to do something with the abbreviation of Southern Social to comment on it becoming increasingly more 'So-So' than exceptional.

Its hard to find anything bad to say about Flight Restaurant Group Restaurants and Southern Social (SS) is no exception. I feel that SS gets the little sibling treatment of the 4 Flight Group (FG) places, but they deliver on everything you'd expect from other FG restaurants. Excellent service, excellent tasting food, and great ambiance. SS is a bit more accessible as far as reservations compared to its siblings, so if you are looking to going to any of the others and cant, don't forget about SS! I will say, the price is pretty much the same compared to the other places even though I do feel as if its a small step down in grandeur so I feel that the cost is about 20% more than what it should be. However, in Memphis it can be hard to find a place that satisfies you in 3 categories of food, service, and setting so that does come with a price!

We went for a birthday dinner and were very happy with the food, and our server, Alex, was terrific! We had the fried pimento sandwich appetizer and it was wonderful. I had the duck and it, along with the sweet potato purée, was especially good.

Love this place great food and great service and great hospitality to...!!!!! We luv you guys

Trying too hard. In town for a couple of days looking for something interesting to eat. The reviews of Southern Social looked promising. I tried the a cocktail with bourbon and mint, the Deviled Eggs with fried oysters, and the lemon icebox pie. The deviled eggs were fine. Tasty. The oysters were nicely seasoned, but not as crispy as I would have hoped. The bacon jam on the oysters and the lovely little lightly dressed salad were nice. The question is why the oysters, the eggs, the salad, and the bacon jam. Too much going on and nothing to harmonize all the different flavors. Individually the elements were fine...together they just didn't work for me. In the end, I disassembled the dish into it's individual components. The portions were generous and this worked fine for me. The icebox pie was not my favorite. It was way too sweet and lacked the tanginess that you look for in this traditional southern treat. Not only was it too sweet, but it was topped with maraschino cherries and some weird sweet wafers. The only thing that worked in this dish was the crust which was nice and thick. In summary, this place is fine. But it just didn't live up to my expectations or the price. I would say simplify. The elements of something special are here, but the flashy extras overwhelmed my tastebuds.

They lamb spare ribs, loaded mash, and fried pimento cheese were my favorites. very flavorful

My niece made a reservation for 6 PM to celebrate my sister and cousin's birthdays. She and her mother arrived around 6, and the rest of us came shortly thereafter. There were seven attendees at our party, and we were seated before 6:30. Initially, the waitress took our drink orders, but the evening took a turn for the worse after that. After bringing our drinks, she returned around 7 or a little after to take our dinner orders. We received our salads, but unfortunately, we didn't receive our main course until 7:50 PM, and that was with several reminders. When I placed my order, I asked for the wedge salad with romaine lettuce, but that didn't happen. Even thought the waitress said I could get it with romaine lettuce, I received iceberg lettuce. I ordered the pasta with sausage and shrimp, but the waitress suggested that the chicken was good as well, so I agreed to try the chicken. I assumed it would be a half-and-half portion of chicken and shrimp, but I was charged $44 for a dish that included both chicken and shrimp, which were not well prepared. The shrimp were overcooked and had a rubbery texture, while the sausage was so hard that I could barely chew it. My sister had a similar experience with her pasta. She didn't order shrimp due to an allergy but requested extra sausage, which took several reminders for the waitress to bring. When she did receive it, the sausage was also overcooked. My cousin ordered the salmon dish, but she received only a piece of salmon on a bare plate. Ther were no brown butter pecan crust, no fresh cranberry, or no roasted butternut squash. When she asked the waitress why her salmon looked different from the others, the waitress admitted she didn't know. Another waitress approached our table, and I asked about my cousin's salmon; she offered to get her another one but was unsure why the first one was served that way. Despite the disappointing circumstances, we tried to stay positive and not complain, as we didn't want to spoil the celebration. I ended up paying $99 for a meal that I could have gotten elsewhere for about $30, with much better service. I was really disappointed because I had only heard good things about Southern Social. Maybe it was just an off night, but we also had to wait a long time for our checks. We were the last to leave the patio area. Overall, I don't think I will return to Southern Social again. It was not a good experience, and it was overpriced.

I have been graced with elegance and flavor this week as I enjoyed a large, but much-appreciated, meal at Southern Social. The food, drinks and service were no less than top-tier. After enjoying a variety of options, I can safely say that I am impressed. I would describe the dishes as elevated takes on classic Southern comfort food. Appetizers: we ordered the Lamb spare ribs, crispy pork belly, bacon gouda fondue and sauteed blu crab claws. The lamb was tender and sweet and came in a smaller portion size. The lamb was cut similar to baby back ribs and the sauce was seen similar to a teriyaki glaze rather than a classic BBQ sauce. The pork belly was so crispy and salty without being too fatty. The green tomato jam and spicy aioli worked so perfectly with the salty pork. The flavor was explosive and the grits helped soak up any sauce that fell off. The fondue was excellent too for anyone trying to grab a quick snack. The housemade pimento was savory and well seasoned which made it better than some standard signage artichoke dip that you might find someplace else. My only critique is that the dish loses its charm the more it cools down. The crab claws were probably my favorite starter simply because they were the complete package. The crab was fresh and the sausage was perfectly cooked. The homemade bread was just a bonus. I couldn't stop eating claw after claw. Entree: For my main course, I ordered the eggplant ravioli which was a bit of a wild choice considering an Italian dish did not seem to fit on a menu filled with American classics. It was simply amazing and full of flavor. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the eggplant did not overshadow the sauce. I was so happy to actually taste savory cheese instead of just plain mozzarella. In general, I also loved the vibe of the restaurant it was fancy and comfortable. I would also recommend trying on of their cocktails, I quite enjoyed the socialite.

Here in Memphis to sort out and ship some long stored items. After a very emotional and tiring day I decided to treat my sister and myself to a nice dinner. Southern Social hit a very high mark for the two of us. As world travelers, we tend to be picky about our food and we were not disappointed in the least. Starting with the wine - Emmollo and ending with the brownie, each course shined. They were very mindful of my sisters dairy intolerance and my shellfish allergy. If I'm ever back in town Southern Social will be on my must stop list.

Aunt Thelma's Fried Chicken was the highlight of my day. The crispy skin on the outside to the tender and juicy meat on the inside. The crunch, the flavor , the excitement I had while eating this was amazing. This was an nostalgic moment for me, it remind me of Sunday dinner at my grandparents house. The mac and cheese was cheesy and cooked to perfection. Southern Social was excellent, the waitress constantly checked on my guest and I. She even gave us recommendations to try. The atmosphere was lovely, my friends and I went for a girls night out experience.

Came in here on a Saturday night for dinner and was so impressed with the level of service beautiful decor and quality of food. I suggest you make a reservation in advance. They have complimentary valet parking so you just pull up your vehicle and ready to go inside. You are immediately greeted by the staff at the front and the decor inside and on the patio is beautiful classy and relaxing. The bar was beautiful and had a large selection of top shelf liquors. I absolutely loved my cocktail, the ring of fire. It was spicy and refreshing. It was probably one of the best cocktails I've had. The old fashion was also perfectly made. We ordered the Tomahawk Pork Chop, the Half Roasted Duck and the Blacken Shrimp Pasta. The pork chop was delicious and the sides were amazing, especially their brussel sprouts. The half Roasted Duck was good. The Blacken Shrimp Pasta only came with 4 large shrimp and the pasta was a pretty average creamy white sauce base, but came in a large portion. Overall, I loved the friendliness of the staff, the beautiful classy romantic decor, the food taste great, the cocktails where on point. The prices are reasonable for the quality of food. I would highly suggest coming for a date night or for a celebration.

My wife and I scheduled childcare for 2.5 hours so we could celebrate our anniversary. With 4 small kids, time is always tight. We scheduled a table for Southern Social and told them we were celebrating our anniversary. We dropped off our kids, and when we arrived, on time, they tried to sit us at an outside patio table. The temperature was 94 degrees with a heat index of 110. There was a national weather advisory in the area due to the temperature. There only 1 other person outside, it was entirely empty for obvious reasons. We explained it was too hot and asked for one of the many empty inside seats. They explained they were all reserved. I guess they knew other customers would never sit outside and would never disrespect them by putting their reserved seat in a sauna. I imagine that since we were younger than their usual crowd, they just thought they would keep the habitable seats away from the more "lower class" guests. In conclusion, they refused us an inside table despite our reservations. We wasted a lot of time and finally went to Ruth Chris where we had a great, albeit shortened, dinner. We rushed through and got our kids but the absolutely terrible behavior of this restaurant deserves to be called out. Don't waste your time unless you look rich and successful, I guess. I'll be keeping them off my list in the future.

Went back again with the customer, and nothing has changed. And that's a good thing. Absolutely stellar service, and fantastic food. I will be back again.

The meal service and ambiance was great thanks our waitress was very courteous and very polite

My wife and I had our 23rd anniversary dinner with Southern Social. The staff and service were outstanding. The food and drinks were excellent. The atmosphere set the mood for an enjoyable evening.

Unfortunately our first visit. We sat at the bar first. Ordered a white russian and a beer. The cocktail was made with whipping cream so as it was put over ice it became very thick and curdled with chunks. We ordered jalepeno tater tots and they were served cold. Sent them back and they did make them better. Dinner: Chilean Seabass - was so fishy tasting I couldn't eat it, approx. 4 oz piece, It was not served as shown in the picture, it was served with some kind of orange colored yuk. The green beans were not al dente they were raw heated up. Ribeye was chewy, mac n cheese was leftover and gummy. Really sorry for the bad review but we spent over $200 for two and it was awful.

CARRIGAN was Exceptionally Great and Professional! She made the Best Holiday experience ever! We'll BEBACK Soon and will always ask for her even though the Managers and entire Staff are Great! "PROMOTE NOW " Bobby Taylor Retired US Marine Corps Semper Fi

Allow me to say first off the service was great! The food however was not! The house salad was served on a room temperature plate and the greens where not at proper temperature either. I ordered the brussel sprouts only to be served partially warm and under cooked. The loaded mashed potatoes where either instant potatoes or over whipped no body or texture at all. So maybe the steak will save the day.........nope! I ordered the signature fillet butterfly MW. They served the steak cut in half long ways (2 pcs) VERY well done almost pittsburgh well done! I almost think the chef was maybe out of the building that day. The experience was very disappointing to say the least. Sincerely J.L.Stover

We finally got the chance to dine at Southern Social after driving by on a daily basis for over a year or so. I made reservations ahead of time so that we could celebrate my husband's birthday. We were greeted upon arrival and waited a couple of minutes to be seated. I requested the patio area and although the temps weren't ideal, I loved the fact that it was heated. Our server came and was very friendly. I decided to go with the chopped salad and the redfish. I ordered the half size salad and it was so good that I instantly had a feeling of regret for not going for the full portion. :) The redfish was very good. Although there was mention of it being topped with crab, it was a very small amount and you didn't taste the flavor of the crab at all. (Regardless, it was still a great dish.) I absolutely loved the cheese grits. My husband went for the seabass - EXCELLENT! He also requested an order of brussels sprouts. They were roasted and the flavor and texture were just perfect. We loved them so much that we had to request a second order! My son ordered the shrimp pasta. He was highly pleased. (I did not get the chance to sample his, so I can't comment for myself) Throughout the meal, the servers were very attentive and prompt and we were never left with low or empty glasses. The staff was so kind to bring out a small birthday dessert with a candle for my husband to enjoy. Everything was just wonderful!

Great experience for dinner. The service is attentive and professional. I'm a bourbon fan and their bourbon list is above average. I enjoyed a 1792 Sweet wheat for a very reasonable cost. I will say that their "Special" list of bourbons are considerably overpriced but there is enough really good selections on the normal list to enjoy at a very fair price range. The menu is an interesting mix of southern classics, sea food, and prime steaks. I chose the Chilean See Bass which was cooked perfectly and delicious. The whole experience was upscale. Make sure to get a reservation as it is a very popular restaurant. Parking is a little tight but they do offer free valet. I'll be going back the next time I'm in town for sure.

I love Southern Social! It's the Ambiance for me. Excellent service, food & bomb cocktails! 10+
