This was our first trip in to Rabun Social. We were greeted and seated immediately by an energetic young man. We found RS to be an attraction for families with children, especially in the area with low-top tables. On the day we visited, children of various ages were running back & forth to the restroom, standing in the walkways, yelling, crying, etc. If yours is an adult party, I recommend you sit at the high-top tables, which are in a separate area. Our waiter, though he seemed detached, was knowledgeable and helpful concerning food sensitivities. Because they do not have GF bread or buns, and use gluten-containing ingredients in their sushi and soups, I ordered a smash burger with no bun, and a side of vegetables. This was very tasty; I ate every bite of the burger. Hubby ordered the California Roll. I was unable to taste these, as the imitation crab has gluten-containing ingredients as a binder. Even though RS does not have many GF options, I would return just for that burger! read more

Cool spot and atmosphere but the food was terrible. Probably one of the worst meals I've had in a long time. Got a salmon roll which was incredibly chewy. We also ordered the bourbon chicken fried rice. The flavor was not that great and it was SOOOO SALTY. Our friends are traveling with us and I already recommended they not eat here. read more

Rabun Social - Bourbon fried rice. Salmon roll. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Clayton, Georgia

I was super excited to try this place, it's an interesting vibe, not necessarily my vibe but definitely interesting. Our service was pretty bad, there was no one there and it took a hot second for our server to come over. I asked if they had any mocktails and she said they could make whatever which isn't really to helpful so passed on that. Ordered french dip sandwich, chicken lettuce wraps, and vegetable sushi role. Everything was good I will preface it with that. With the lettuce wraps, I would highly recommend not filling them and giving a stack of lettuce and letting the customer fill them themselves because they just sit while you're eating and the lettuce gets really hot. Additionally, the plate was really hot, so maybe a cold plate instead again just so the lettuce again isn't super hot but that's just being picky. We asked our server for more water once food was delivered, never came back until she was dropping off the check. When she did come back I asked again for more water and she seemed really irritated. Lastly, there were so many flies just everywhere. Food was good, everything else was meh. read more

Really I prefer *3 1/2 stars*. The food was good and our server was nice. Cool decor. We ordered the lettuce wrap appetizer and a smash burger with fries to split. After receiving drinks and appetizer we learned when we placed our order that there is a "$4 or $5" split fee on an already pricy burger ($16, I think). They have every right to charge that, but it is not mentioned on the menu. If we knew before we ordered, we would not have gotten an appetizer because 2 entrees AND an appetizer is way too much for us. We politely told them we would just eat our app, pay, and go so they waived the fee, but they really need to publish it so the servers aren't put in a bad position. read more

Welcome to Main Street, Clayton Ga. A beautiful and charismatic town of the south. Rabun Social is going to be your spot for sushi, Asian, and a wide array of craft beverages and fine whiskies. The Pork Egg Rolls and the Crab Cakes are to die for. I would like to see a better selection of fish. I would say it's about 80/20 Tuna to Salmon. Would like to see some white fish, escolar, or mackerel on the menu. This is definitely a great place with friendly service and atmosphere. Check it out! read more

We looked this place up on line and checked the menu. We were excited to go. The ACTUAL menu was different. Much, much, much smaller than the online representation and all the things we talked about ordering were not on the menu. That being said, the server was great and a little embarrassed. Not his fault. We had a drink and an appetizer and then went on to eat elsewhere. Which was GREAT. So many good places nearby. read more

Pleasantly surprised to find good sushi in north ga! We enjoyed our drinks and rolls at the outdoor bar- though rolls were a little small read more

Rabun Social - Vampire, Philly & spicy tuna roll (and a spritz!) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Clayton, Georgia

Two of us visited for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. We made a reservation for noon and were seated upon arrival. Our reservation was originally for an indoor high top, but we requested to sit outside being the weather was lovely. The hostess was both accommodating and friendly. Fast forward to our server, she too was friendly and both were knowledgeable regarding the daily specials. My friend ordered a prosecco with a splash of cranberry juice and I ordered a club soda with an in-house created cherry simple syrup. I liked the stemless glassware used to serve my friend's bubbles. We started with the social lettuce wraps. These were very good! The lettuce was crisp, fresh, and sturdy. Nothing is worse than ordering lettuce wraps and the mixture is leaking through weak pieces of lettuce. The chicken mixture featured a nice subtle soy flavor. For our meals, we opted for the daily special which was a one party smash burger v. the 2 patty entrée on the menu. We paired our burgers with a side salad dressed in carrot ginger vinaigrette.Both the burger and salad portions were plentiful. The salad dressing was very tasty and I enjoyed how the burger was trimmed. Albeit, I didn't partake in the special sauce and instead opted for ketchup and mustard. I requested my burger be prepared medium rare, but it was cooked medium. I believe there was a mix-up and my friend received the medium rare patty. Fortunately, it was still very good. The only complaint is my bun was over toasted so the top was too hard. Bonus: I saved a few calories. ;) Prior to leaving, we ventured inside to use the restrooms. I really enjoyed the decor. Overall, Rabun Social has a great atmosphere, food and the customer service was on point. Additionally, I appreciated the owner's interaction with customers. If you find yourself in downtown Clayton, this place is worth checking out. read more

We ordered 5 things, here's the breakdown for each: Spicy tuna and California rolls: average flavor at best and they had about an overall diameter of a quarter Asian pear salad: sent it back immediately as I could smell and see the turned lettuce, I'm floored they served it like that Caesar salad: lacking flavor but the lettuce was fresh Lettuce Wraps: extremely salty, couldn't finish them... and we LOVE salt, but hey at least the lettuce was fresh on these Service lacking, asked for utensils, and didn't ask how our food was. Should have given less stars but it's a holiday weekend so maybe it's a one time thing but won't be returning. read more

Our first time eating here. The food was AMAZING !!!! Staff was friendly and efficient I can't wait to pop in again when im over that way. read more

Rabun social is a great place for food and atmosphere, but they have recently adopted an unfortunate policy of penalizing the customer for patronizing their establishment by gouging an additional 3% for those who use a credit card to pay with as I noticed on my last visit. Credit card processing fees are a cost of doing business just like power, water, rent, insurance, etc., are and should be included in the price of the food - not itemized on the bill. What's next, will we start to see an electrical % fee tacked on each check because we choose to sit inside and enjoy heat/AC as opposed to sitting outside? Where does this end? Normally when someone uses cash, the business would automatically receive a 3% internal increase for not having to pay a CC fee. I personally could do without the penalty I now receive at the end of my dining experience. If they really want to entice customers to use cash, they should offer a 3% discount for those that do so and not penalize the customer for the reverse. It's a much more positive experience and accomplishes the same. Otherwise, I suggest paying with pennies. read more

Great Asian fusion with variety of tasty menu food and drink options. Optional outdoor seating adds to ambience when weather permits.

The food is consistently good at Rabun Social, and Sarah, our waitress, was outstanding. We dine out often due to our profession, and Sarah is truly a cut above. read more

We stopped in today for a light lunch. I had the Asian Pear salad and chicken fried rice. It was EXCELLENT! My wife had a salmon sushi roll which she really liked. This place has a cool vibe and isn't going to break the bank. Our server was a young man named Andrew. Thanks bud, job well done! read more

Food was good both times we visited and service was good. But food does take a bit so don't go in a hurry or with grumpy kids.

Loved the atmosphere and sushi. A little pricey but worth it bc it is a special place.

This was our second time trying Rabun Social. We weren't impressed on our first visit, but the new menu tempted us to give it another shot. Unfortunately, their attempt at Asian fusion in North Georgia still misses the mark. The Miso Caesar salad was drenched in parmesan, overpowering any hint of dressing. We probably should have skipped the sushi, but we tried it anyway--a $24 roll, heavily coated in various sauces, which completely masked the taste of the fish. This became a theme for the meal. The ramen was decent, but for a $20 bowl, we expected more. It was very spicy, which seemed to cover up a lack of flavor. The atmosphere is pleasant, but with so many other good dining options in the area, we won't be returning. read more

Whitney our server was incredible, the food was delish and the ambience was great. The establishment had only been open for 4 months. I visited twice in one week! read more

I swear jake and Sabrina are the best at sushi in town, everytime I come in and they are here the rolls are perfection! It doesn't just taste good it looks amazing these guys rock! By now I've had just about every sushi roll on the menu and I never get tired of them. The quality of the fish and the consistency of the rice is quite literally perfect, most places I've been for sushi have overcooked rice and basic flavors but not here the rice is firm but fully cooked and the flavors are to die for. I especially like their prime catch roll and the zuke sashimi (soy marinated yellowfin tuna) these are my go to meals when I stop in but they have alot more to offer! If you want top quality sushi and you havent been here yet, its a must to stop in and check them out! It has now become my Saturday ritual. read more

Rabun Social - Taste the rainbow roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Clayton, Georgia

We were camping nearby and stopped in for lunch while exploring town. This is a neat environment for a fall day - eating outside was delightful. The staff was excellent, friendly and efficient. The menu is a neat collection of different cuisine. The Miso Soup had a nice flavor but came out room temperature. I thought Miso was served hot? And it had a LOT of tofu cubes in it. In fact it was a bowl of tofu with some soup poured over it. The Dragon roll was Excellent! with a very crispy shrimp inside. We also had crab cakes and although not advertised on the menu as hot, they were - very hot. They were red with red pepper and the sauce was also hot. They were so spicy that you couldn't taste the crab, all you tasted was pepper. I think if I came back I would stick to their sushi which seemed to be very good. read more

What a jewel in downtown Clayton! My mom likes to eat early before restaurants get loud and they were not serving dinner yet so they sat us at the bar and served her as soon as the kitchen was ready. Poke bowl is excellent! Mom had never had suchi and was unsure so she had the lettuce wraps. Very pleased. Dog friendly outdoor seating. read more

Better service needed. We sat for 20min on a slow night and got nothing. No one brought menus or checked in to let us know they even knew we were there. read more

Had a nice lunch here on the patio. Service is top notch from the word go. Lunch menu has plenty of options from hearty to light fare. Got the Nigiri 5 and was pleased with the presentation as well as the freshness of the sushi. I'd give it a 9 out of 10 for sure. The spicy tuna roll was also a hit and the just the right amount of heat. They also have a respectable beer, wine, cocktail, and whiskey menu. Two thumbs up. read more

After driving all day from North West Florida we were eager to sit down and have a real meal. We were promptly greeted by Michael, the owner. Our children shook his hand and introduced themselves and he was thrilled they had manners and offered them free ice cream after dinner of course. We watched the sun dip behind the Main Street building and enjoyed a delicious meal. Flavors are well balanced acid and heat. Will definitely be back on this vacation again. Yes, it's that good. read more

We decided to check out Rabun Social on Thursday. We got there and it was already buzzing and it was only 530. The ambience was very cool and spacious. We started with the social dirty martini and social sour along with the delicious chicken lettuce wrap appetizer. We had the ahi pokey bowl and these Wagyu Smashburger, which were both phenomenal. The Smashburger is my favorite burger in town now! The owner came by and sat down and chatted with us for a few minutes. Super cool guy! Our waitress was very kind and the food and drinks came out quickly. When we left every seat in the house and outside was taken. There's a really nice outdoor covered patio area along with an outdoor bar area. There's also a "happy hour" Monday through Friday. Don't quote me, but I believe it's something like 4 to 5 and 9 to 10 PM . We will definitely be back! read more

Not very good food, sushi was small and not fresh. Don't think I would give it another try

This is a very unique restaurant, we had Sushi for an appetizer that was delicious. My wife had a burger and I had prawns. All was delicious, the drinks were great also. The atmosphere was nice, as it is a remodeled gas station. Great place to go for an evening of drinks and food. read more

Wife and I went for Brunch on a Sunday. The ambiance and music was hip, yet inviting. Our server was happy and a great ambassador for the restaurant. No alcohol, since it was Sunday in Clayton, but the meal was outstanding. We split an app of egg rolls. Wife had avocado Kimchi eggs Benedict and I had a sushi roll. We found that everything we had was completely unique and the flavors were outstanding. We will definitely be back. read more

Food is good, I have an issue with the drinks. Beware and know what you are ordering. I had the misfortune to order a peach margarita. it's summer, I'm in the Peach state. I had visions of a smooth, iced drink in a classic Margarita glass, trickling wonderfully down my throat, every yummy bit. What I got was a short bar glass filled over the brim with ice. it contained a small amount of old and bitter sweet and sour mix, or possibly margarita mix (I couldn't tell) with a splash of peach schnapps splashed on the top. To top it off, it had a wrinkled dried out sliver of blood orange thrown on top of the excessive ice. Unfortunately, I took a sip. I should have sent it back but I didn't. My food was okay, I was hungry and got distracted. Bar none, the WORST excuse for a drink I have had in 10 years. To me it shows a desperation of the restaurant to make money at all cost, the customer be damned. At the end of my meal the ice had not melted below the edge of the glass and I got 4 little sips of something nasty for $13. I may go back for the food, but I'll laugh if they ask if I want something from the bar. Get something that needs a bottle opener, if you must. I was charged $16 for the lettuce wraps, which are $13 on the website menu. The bar window allows quite a few flys in also, not to mention letting the air conditioning out. read more

Underwhelming from front of the house to the food. We walk in and nobody greets us, leaving us to guess if we just sit down somewhere or wait. Bad start. Menus have been run through the dishwasher. That just added to a questionable experience before the food even came out. Be better. Food was okay. Think twice. Staff, if you care, be better. Don't mail it in. Simply my opinion. read more

Love this place. It is a great addition to Main Street and adds a wonderful balance to all the other places to eat in town. Tuesday nights are a blast... Music Bingo and a lot of nutty locals. The staff is wonderful, very friendly and they seem really happy to be there. Mario behind the bar is especially friendly and super helpful. read more
