Was OpenTable Diner at SoCo a mag?
Restaurant is too loud, the music should be lowered it’s difficult to have a conversation. My food was good, I had the pecan crusted pork chop. My date didn’t enjoy her short ribs but stated the sauce was great. View all feedback.
What SARAM dislikes about SoCo:
The service was great! The food was not good and we had to wait a long time for it. I had mentioned it was my husbands birthday in the reservation but unfortunately there was no effort on their part in making anything happen. We left disappointed and will not be returning. View all feedback.

This has been my 2nd time here. Don't know why I waited so long to return. Gumbo hot spicy and fresh vegetables. Mmmmm and the ribs. What! A flavor like no other. ???????????? Mgmt took care of us and checked on us. Our waitress ???????????? nothing butlove. Made us feel like home!
I love this place. Someone took me here for my birthday. Such a great choice. I had jerk chicken wings with a side of mac n cheese. The chicken was so tender n the mac was flavorful. You can taste the gouda ???? the Rum punch was raved for but if youare a strong drinker, it would be considered weak to you. Me on the other hand is a light drinker so it snuck up on me and I hadonly one drink and had a buzz. Atmosphere was great. The waitress n server was bomb and respectful. Looking forward to goingback in the near future. BTW: music was on point as well and they gave me a dessert(didn't get a chance to eat it ???? and sunghappy birthday to me. It was cute. Overall great experience.
Came here for a Saturday brunch. The service was impeccable. Black owned establishment. There was no long waiting to be seated or for our food and drinks. The drinks were very delicious. We ordered the Mango Mimosas. The food was hot and served fresh. Thesalmon cakes melts in your mouth. The Mac and cheese is a shareable size and was very cheesy also crunchy on the top. I orderedthe lobster/shrimp/grits which was very tasty and cooked to perfection. The prices are a little steep, but definitely worth it.I will definitely come back here. I highly recommend.
Came here for a Saturday brunch. The service was impeccable. There was no long waiting to be seated even though we were an hour late for our reservation. The drinks were very delicious, we ordered the strawberry and mango lemonades for $7. The food was hotand served fresh. The chicken and waffles were pretty delicious. The Mac and cheese is a shareable size and was very cheesy alsocrunchy. The prices are a little steep, but definitely worth it. I will definitely come back here. I highly recommend.

Great vibes, good Food. Staff was very attentive. My drink was decent.Set ambience was on point. Next time I go, I'll have the hibiscus drink. The chicken and waffle looked delish. The burger I ordered was very good !!

The service at SoCo was excellent. I ordered only home fries, and they were tasty. However, the menu could use some improvement, as there aren’t many appealing food options. Additionally, the drink selection needs a complete overhaul.
I visited SoCo with my mom during the final hour of their Saturday brunch and had an amazing experience. The host welcomed us so warmly that my mom jokingly said it felt like we were old friends...
I visited SoCo for a birthday dinner. The restaurant has a spacious interior and a nice outdoor area. On the day we went, there was live music playing, which added to the great atmosphere.

Our waitress was very nice. The food, on the other hand, was average (respectfully). When making a reservation, I requested outdoor dining but that wasn't available (which was disappointing). I thought it was interesting that the gratuity was already built into the check without giving an option to tip the waiter more than the calculated amount. Decent experience and enjoyable vibe overall. It just doesnt move me to come back in the near future.
A wonderful experience. The food was outstanding and the code was perfect: casual setting and excellent food. I love this place!
The fish was delicious. I am not a grits person but the grits were actually good. The problem regarding this restaurant is the wait time to be served when in a big party. People came in after me and my friends and were out before. Also, the server was nice but messed up the requests on my order. I also didn't like the fact that substitutions on side orders from the prefix brunch menu is not authorized.
The first table we were placed at was directly under a vent and was freezing cold, all of which they knew before hand. There were open tables in front of the restaurant that they refused to seat us at even though we were visibly uncomfortable. They eventually moved us to another table once that party left.
The service was great! The food was not good and we had to wait a long time for it. I had mentioned it was my husbands birthday in the reservation but unfortunately there was no effort on their part in making anything happen. We left disappointed and will not be returning.

Big brunch to celebrate my friend's birthday. good mood and music. fish and geese and red along with and fried chicken were delicious! comes back definitiw. Thank you. soco to my friend's birthday super special!
The restaurant was quite different. eating has changed. the drinks are too expensive. the drinks are smaller and a dink had bad savory taste. the waiter had a job.
The food was terrible, drinks were not good. They did not have straws saying they are going green. I wanted club soda only to be told someone else bought the last bit of club soda they had. There were patrons next to us who did not eat their meal. At first, we thought it was just them because years ago I had good here and it was good but not anymore. I couldn't finish my meal either, it just wasn't tasty. Besides the food the bathrooms are in need of repairs, rusty sinks, no hand towels to dry your hands (oh they've gone green). Well besides that, it was 9PM on a Saturday night and the restaurant was empty, another clue pointing toward the food not being good.
Love it there! Food and ambiance are great. I have been there more than once.
The food was okay and the server we had was good but the drinks were HORRIBLE. I paid $22 dollars for a casamigos cocktail and didn’t taste no hint of casamigos. Plus when we first got there there was no host we waited for 5 mins at the host stand before anyone said anything to us but when a group of friends came in after us they were immediately greeted by the bartender. The bartender who completely ignored us. Also they were sat at a table before us and we was there first. Over all the experience was not good and it’s sad because SoCo use to be one of my favorite restaurants. Very disappointed.
