WHEN I TELL YOU…. I had an AMAZING experience here. I am not exaggerating. lol The food was phenomenal! The service was great and the ambiance too! I have been thinking about this experience for 4 days straight and cannot wait to be back. The cornbread—a MUST. the F Que wings—delicious! The fish and grits. Sooooo good! And the chicken and red velvet waffle was delicious! Definitely recommend every dish I tried.

My first time here. I had dinner with a friend and the food is great. Atmosphere is wonderful and the staff was very accommodating and friendly. Normally I don't pay attention to music but they even had live music. I would definitely come back here. The cornbread tasted like a cupcake. 😋

The Sunday brunch was so really good. The food was amazing and everything really did taste amazing. The drinks were strong and delicious as well. There were a lot of people there at this time which prolonged our food more than the average time. We had a party of 6 people and had to ask for water a couple times instead of being given the water bottles for the entire table. There also weren't able to accommodate a vegetarian who wanted to have red velvet waffles without the fried chicken. The dish wasn't able to be separated, because it was a "Soco Specialty". So be mindful of your dietary restrictions when coming here. Overall the experience and food was really good and the I would definitely go again.

Overall I would give this experience a 10+. This place has done a complete turn around. My 1st visit in Feb.2019 was a -10rating due to over 1hr wait (with reservation), slow service, missing utensils, noisy, unattentive waiter, I had to ask for utensils, black pepper, water, I didn't like a drink but the waiter still charged for a drink he took away instead of replacing it or adding flavor. It took over 10 mins to pay the tab... It just killed 3 hours of my day for sucky food and service. I told myself that this place is overrated and I would not be returning. Fast forward 6 months later, I'm in the neighborhood and this is the chosen venue. Despite my previous experience, I gave it a try again and I am happy that I did. EVERYTHING was AMAZING, I'm not exaggerating either. The host was very inviting and seated us at the bar until a table was ready. The bartender was professional and kind and even knew to bring our drink to our table, which by the way was so good, we had 2 rounds 😬. What I found interesting was, both the waiter and the bartender, went above and beyond to make sure that everything was to our satisfaction. It felt like we had a private dining with 3 butlers! The food was the served timely, hot and delicious. I'm happy they added spinach to the steak and eggs entree because it was very tasty unlike my previous visit. We ordered 3 entres and an appetizer and they ALL flavorful and delicious. Due to attentive staff, excellent service, delicious food, on this day we tipped 30% and I will definitely be returning.

The food was great especially the mac and cheese!!. The host was pleasant and the waitress was great. I forgot her name but she made the experience of being at this location for mother's day weekend great. She was on point with everything. It was my first time too. I will surely go back a next time.

Wow, and wow, and wow, and wow... we went for brunch, and are trying to head back for dinner before we drive back home to Boston. You walk in, and the DJ's music hits you, and you're nodding your head while you walk to your table to be seated. Amazing atmosphere, and beautiful people... but the star of the show is the FOOD! Lobster and Shrimp grits... PERFECTION. Mac and cheese... PERFECTION. Haven't had the dinner yet, but you will NOT be disappointed in the brunch. All i can say is WOW!

Their food here is amazing. The vibe is definitely great the music is good it is always crowded here so please make a reservation if your not sitting at the bar. Great place for birthday dinners, graduation dinners,etc. My favorite food is the F-Que Wings and the Mac and cheese. The staff here is extremely friendly and the manager is always available greeting and seating guest that come in. On Wednesday there is happy hour the whole entire day at the bar including some appetizers.

Weekend brunch opens at 12pm strictly. When the shades are pulled up the place is open. Nice space. We were seated at a big table since there were 5 of us. The staff were nice and the music was great. The place filled up quickly and got very loud which was fine. Food was pretty good. The mimosa carafe was $48 but tasted pretty good. Portion size was on the smaller side compared to other restaurants. Red velvet pancakes were not bad. The fish and grits were really good. The fried chicken was really good.

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 you are 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 had only one drink and had a buzz. Atmosphere was great. The waitress n server was bomb and respectful. Looking forward to going back 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 sung happy birthday to me. It was cute. Overall great experience.

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 !!

Oh man, the food was very good and the bartender/waiter was great!! I would've given the restaurant 5stars but the wait times are long. I didn't have reservations though but next time I will definitely make reservations. All I have to say it was definitely worth the wait!! The chicken wings and the ribs were delicious!!!! Can we talk about the grits?!!! One of the best grits in a very long time yummo it was so creamy and tasty!! I can't forget about the macaroni and cheese!!! It was worth $13!!! AMAZING!! I highly recommend Soco!! I can't wait to return back.

Nice environment, friendly staff. A bit pricey; The Shrimp, Lobster, and Grits was delicious, but a bit pricey. For $29, it wasn't a big portion at all. The Mac & Cheese was very good as well. Enjoyed their brunch menu.

We went there for Sunday brunch. It opens at 12pm on the dot. It's a little tight in there but they make the most of the space. The food presentation was magnificent. We had the lobster/shrimp and grits, the sweet potato pancakes and the chicken and red velvet waffles. The pancakes were just ok but everything else was exceptional. The service was good. Our waiter Rob, was attentive and kept us updated with the progress of out food. Cool spot.

Went here after the nets game. Has an "A" rating from the city. Ordered ( Sunday brunch-all day) herb flank steak - a little tough, but delicious and cooked perfectly, lobster and shrimp grits ( fabulous), mac n cheese ( yummy) , fish n chips ( very good), and red velvet waffle with fried chicken ( delicious)! WAit staff was very good and friendly. A total recommend! They have an enclosed patio that is heated also. Really enjoyed this place. Cocktails good too!

I have been going here for years it haven't been since covid, we ordered the Catfish app which was so delicious, practically melted in my mouth after a very satisfying crunch. Next week got the red velvet chicken and waffles (which at one point this dish was what they were known for) well after pouring a very thick cold syrup over my chicken and waffle, (some would argue with me, but I don't care I love syrup on my chicken when in eating those dishes, which is much favorite go too) I first cut into the waffle and it seems good but when I put it in my mouth I was not happy, it was very dense and chewy, and then I asked my daughter so you think they changed the recipe, well for starters it was nown2 square waffle as opposed to the round Belgium waffle I was used too. So when the lovely young lady came to ask about our experience so far, I hesitated but then explained the situation to her, she asked if I wanted another set, I declined, a few moments later when came out with a waffle that was better but still not good enough. I tried to eat it but just couldn't, but on the other hand the chicken was superb, well seasoned just enough crunch for the meal and the portion was great as I didn't even eat the waffles. The drinks were very refreshing too. We had flavored lemonade that tasted like they took the fruit and muddled it eight into the glass, very delicious. I joked with my dining buddy, this was our punishment for going to get chicken and waffles after our gym workout. 😆 p.s we had the place all too our selves 💜

Our group of 3 arrived around 2:15PM for Saturday brunch and were seated within 5 minutes in the "outdoor" area, which is really a covered back patio. It was nice and toasty on a chilly autumn day. Service was pretty slow, we waited about 20 minutes to receive our drink orders and another 15 minutes for the champagne glass for one of us who ordered a mimosa carafe. It took 3 requests before the glass was finally brought to the table. The Mardi Gras drink was absolutely delicious! The food however, was just ok. One of my friends asked for her scrambled eggs to be cooked soft, but either the request was ignored or the chef wasn't familiar with soft scrambled eggs. The steak in my steak and eggs were cooked to medium perfection though. The home fries that accompany the steak and eggs were mediocre and I personally think sweet potatoes would have been a better choice. Overall, I was not impressed and would probably only come back for drinks (and to try that macaroni and cheese).

New Review 9/29/24: Soco has fallen off. I went on Sunday afternoon and it was severely understaffed. The waiter said multiple times he was new but the food took well over an hour to come out. The handed is chipped plates for our appetizers. Sad to say the owner was mixed the drinks because there was no bartender. The food was okay but after a long wait it's hard to be happy with what you get. This was once a go to spot to have good food and vibes. I hope they are able to bounce back. Old Review: The staff is friendly. Fish and grits as well as the mussels were very tasty.

I had the hibiscus tequila margarita👍🏾. That drink was excellent. For appetizers we had salmon cakes👍🏾and Creole gumbo👎🏾. For dinner we had the bbq chicken 👎🏾 and the Cajun fettuccine pasta with shrimp and sausage👍🏾(the sausage was dry and over done. The staff was very nice. The decor was lacking. I was expecting a boho chic atmosphere but it was not. This restaurant was recommended to us but we do not plan to go back.

I paid $78 for horrible take-out food. I inquired about their Prix Fixe menu, but was told it doesn't exist. I requested a menu to take out. I was told they are too expensive to print and give away. I ordered vegetarian lasagna. The cheese was burned to a crisp on top. The gumbo was a disgrace. It contained three shrimp, no chicken, no andouile, no dirty rice (just plain rice in the same container--tacky). It lacked taste but was extremely hot and not in a good way. It contained copious amounts of corn. Why? Was this a filler to stretch this lackluster overpriced dish? I ordered the macaroni and cheese., "Aunt Cruz' macaroni and cheese" to be exact. Horrible. Simply cooked noodles with cheese just thrown on top. It was extremely bland. So much title for a poorly prepared dish. I had a craving for okra and tomatoes--my main reason for (mistakenly) frequenting this establishment. The only favor profile of this undercooked dish was garlic. The tomatoes were not even cut properly nor was the okra, both were uncooked. How disappointing. Lastly, I ordered the smoked vegetable flatbread. It was quite delicious. I traveled all the way from Bedford Stuyvesant and it was a wasted trip. I had to remind the staff to give me my receipt and my credit card. They were a tad chaotic, albeit very pleasant. I hate to give such nice people a bad review. Hopefully, it will help them step up to continue doing business in a better manner.
