Social Southern Kitchen - Winston Salem

Wow! We ventured away from the downtown area to try Social and were pleasantly surprised! The service was warm and attentive. The food was delicious every plate we had was fantastic. We tried the raw oysters, house cold smoked salmon, panko benne crusted trout and everything salmon on pasta. Yum. Yum. Yum. Social is located in the Village at Robinhood. It's a restaurant that I would say falls in between neighborhood upscale and neighborhood casual. You would be comfortable eating here in a sports coat as well as something much more casual but, don't underestimate the quality of the food and service. We had more attentive service at Social than we have had at most restaurants downtown and I would put the quality of food up against any place in town. Great food in a comfortable atmosphere Social is worth a visit!

We were on our way back from the BRP after a day of hiking and sightseeing, and were ready for a hot meal. We decided to put of our way to stop in at this restaurant and it did not disappoint. We started with the rosemary bread that tasted freshly baked, perfect crust and yummy pimento cheese spread. I highly recommend. Then I had the fish over grits and subbed Brussels and bacon for the asparagus. Those were the best Brussel Sprouts I've ever had! My husband's filet and Mac cheese were so good as well. Bravo for excellent wait service and phenomenal food!

Great service and food. Our second time here, and we were just as pleased as the first time. Would definitely suggest this restaurant.

I had high hopes for Social Southern Kitchen for my birthday dinner, but unfortunately, I was left disappointed. The food was barely warm and the service was terrible. The atmosphere was rude and racist, with one of my guests being harassed for an ID even though no one at the table was underage. The appetizers were tasteless and there was a cake cutting fee for a cake my mother had purchased. There were bugs on the patio that got into our drinks, and there were no candles to help with the issue. This was a terrible restaurant experience and none of us should have paid. I will not be returning.

This restaurant has disappointed me. I've been wanting to try them for a while, specifically for the Mac and cheese, but they don't even have it. Tonight, my friend had a birthday party and we ordered the scallops appetizer. It was $14 for just TWO scallops, yes, I said TWO. As a true foodie, I don't usually mind prices, but this felt like a rip-off. We ordered several other appetizers, including the fried green tomatoes which were tasteless. It was the worst batch I've had in Winston so far. To make matters worse, they tried to charge me for the tomatoes even though I sent them back. I will not be returning to this place. I doubt they will last long. Plus, why don't they have citronella candles or some sort of bug repellent for outdoor seating? I ended up with a natural Cosmo.
