Swung by here with some friends the other night - was SUPER packed. Almost couldn't find a parking spot (we got a dinner reservation but still!) We all ordered a ton of different items - I got the burrata pizza. Was tasty, my only complaint was it was lukewarm by the time it hit the table (my friends mentioned their food was piping hot so I have a feeling the pizza finished first unfortunately). Would come back again if in the area! read more

Soco Tavern - American Near Me - Fairhaven, Massachusetts

I'm not even much of a yelper but I feel the need to publicly express my disappointment. I visited the Soco Tavern 10 days ago for the first time since it was the Ice Chest. I'm newly back to the area. I ordered a stuffed quahog and the braised short rib and it was AMAZING. I went back again to watch the Superbowl and had the honey hot pepperoni pizza which was SO good. I was excited to return today. Again I ordered the stuffed quahog and the braised short rib. I didn't even look at a menu. I was so excited to enjoy this meal again. However, this time the stuffed quahog was just so-so. Very dry. Fine. It was the short rib I was really looking forward to. However, the dish I received was a pale comparison to the dish I received just 10 days ago. The photos tell the story. read more

Four hours into our road trip and it was time for late lunch so we stopped here-- and wow am I glad we did! Everything is top notch, creative, delicious and fresh, from the chips served when we were seated to the wonderful s'mores bread pudding (where even the fluff is house made)! There were no misses on the food. The Portuguese spring rolls were a fun tasty spin with a wonderful texture and not greasy as they could be, and the sauce and pickled ginger were a great complement. The drunken burrata pizza was terrific and well balanced, with the perfectly crunchy-chewy crust offering the perfect base for the savory sausage and vodka sauce with bright wedges of tomato and just the right amount of heat from the red pepper. We asked for the burrata on one side for my current dietary restriction (sad!) and they happily obliged, but from my husband's report it was a nice cool creamy finish to the flavors (which were already wonderful on their own.) Last but not least the bread pudding is a big win: decadent and moist with nice crunchy graham pieces and the brûléed fluff finishing it off perfectly. I have to also call out how exceptional our server Tara was. She was so kind and impressively efficient - she checked in with us about our timing while foreseeing and meeting every need we had, which was really above and beyond. She refilled our drinks before we'd even think of asking, and dropped our check before we asked, moving everything along quickly and kindly, making the experience all the more wonderful. If there were server Olympics she'd be a gold medalist for sure. If I lived around here I'd be back no doubt: great ambiance while having space for big parties, and the bar looks massive and inviting too. Don't miss this spot! read more

Relatively new spot that plays on traditional American bar food (nachos, pizza, sandwiches etc) with a short selection of unique entrees and speciality dishes. Two large bars (one inside and one out) with plenty of TVs to watch the game. Smaller quieter more family friendly seating available as well. My only complaint was that it was too much sometimes. Too much queso on the nachos, sandwiches were too big they got messy quickly. But overall absolutely delicious, friendly and attentive staff. When in the area I'll be back and trying something different! read more

Stopped in to check out the new Soco Tavern. It was fairly busy but we were still able to get parking and a table with no issues. The interior looks amazing after the remodel and upgrades the new owners made. The open kitchen is a nice touch, and there is lots of cool art on the walls. Our server was very friendly and brought over some complimentary House Made Chips (which were awesome). We tried the Giant Pretzel for an appetizer and that was really good as well. We ended up sharing a couple of their pizzas. We went with a Classic Cheese and The Necker. Both were good, however could have been cooked a little longer to crisp then underside (had alot of flop), but they had great flavor and re-heated well for leftovers as well. read more

I visited Soco a couple of times while visiting the area. I sat at the bar both times, which is a nice atmosphere. Love a bar that has Keno too. Drinks are very reasonable and the food I tried was solid. The stuffed quahog was excellent and the fisherman's platter was great deal and also very good. Pizzas were also a great choice. Overall, a great choice to grab a bite and a drink in the area. Bartenders and wait staff were always friendly and attentive. read more

This is the new and hottest spot in the area and I can see why! Beautiful restaurant with multiple dine in and bar areas to it. My friend and I were served by Layla who was so sweet and kind. Brought over some water and the house chips which were fantastic! I would buy by the bag. Each of us had a mocktail and cocktail, my friends cider one was a bit heavier on the tequila than the cider and I enjoyed my mocktail. Had the Portuguese spring rolls, cute little twist to a classic dish, came out hot, big portion just wish it had a bit more Chourico to it. My friend got the chicken and waffles and as a culinary chef she was impressed how juicy the chicken was, great gravy on topped and enjoyed the biscuit. I had the short rib and it was fantastic! Loved the mashed as well and great flavor to the sauce. Finished off with the s'mores bread pudding, easily one of the best I've ever had I just wish it would have a scoop of vanilla ice cream to it, would be perfect! Overall I would definitely come back again, there was several tables around us getting the pizza from the stone oven which looked fantastic! read more

Soco Tavern - Dinning room mural of Fairhaven history. - American Near Me - Fairhaven, Massachusetts

Have been 5 times since opening, really like the new look, pizza is good, but everything else has been average at best . We felt this way every time we"ve gone ,with the hopes it would be better. We will give it another shot in the spring. read more

Wow!! The new decor and hand painted murals!!! Great food and friendly service! Great place for a casual lunch with friends.

We went here last night and while the food and service were excellent, I have to say the atmosphere was terrible. We had a 6:15PM reservation which is not too early, not too late, but it was straight up club vibes. The house music was sooo loud I had to yell across the table to my kids. We are in our mid 40s and my kids are 10 an 12 so we do not need a super quiet environment, but this was just not enjoyable at all. Burgers were great, our waitress was amazing, but I have no idea why they turn the music up so loud so early in the evening. I would only come back for lunch at this point. read more

Wow, not sure where to begin. Love that you can make reservations ahead of time online and I highly recommend that you do. Great place for large parties. We had absolute amazing service for our large party. My granddaughter wanted spinach as a veggie and it actually is not a side dish. However, they accommodated her request without issue. This place is so amazing and delicious! We had anywhere from salad to pizza. The pizza was stone fired and we decided to make our own. It was out of this world and we left craving more as it really hit the taste buds. The oysters were local from Westport and succulent. It was served w a frozen mignonette, which I thought was weird. Taste was good but just not my preference. Chicken and biscuit dish was a large portion and perfect. Seafood platter, perfect. Clam chowder, thick, creamy, and very tasty. Full bar. Great cocktails. Quahog served on a bed of seaweed, which was very aesthetically pleasing. We will definitely come back for more next trip in the area. read more

We went two days after opening and it was amazing! First, the hostess and server were so accommodating. When we went in, many servers had been cut so there was not a booth but our server was willing to take another table just to accommodate us since we had our baby in his carseat so we needed a booth. We started with drinks and I really really enjoyed my espresso martini! My husband was happy to see that they had Downeast on draft as many places do not. For food, I ordered the braised beef sandwich. It was amazing! The beef was so tender and flavorful and they had great french fries too. My husband ordered the beef tips and really enjoyed them as well. We didn't really care for the mac and cheese but thought it would be better with some more seasoning. We really enjoyed the atmosphere here, it is such a nice place they did so well with the remodel and the impeccable service was just the icing on the cake. We will be back for sure (especially to try the pizza it looks amazing)! read more

My wife & I went back Friday night. It was pretty crowded but we got seats at the bar in the garage. Our bartender was friendly & made our drinks the way we like them. The atmosphere was fun. We got a Green Monster pizza & it was excellent. We had a second drink & dessert (bread pudding) the dessert was really good but would be perfect w/ a scoop of ice cream on the side. We had a nice time and the food/drinks were good & fun. We gave the night an 8.5 out of 10. read more

We checked out this brand new restaurant & wow, what a great experience from start to finish! It was packed, which we expected, but everything moved so quickly & smoothly. The staff had it down to a science..friendly, efficient, & on top of everything. The food was absolutely delicious. We started with the Trash Can Nachos with short rib & honestly, they were some of the best we've had..perfectly layered, crispy, cheesy, tender short rib & full of flavor in every bite. Then came the Holy Hot Honey pizza, & we're still thinking about those crispy little pepperoni cups.. hands down such a great pizza. For how fresh & tasty everything was, the prices were surprisingly reasonable..especially for the portions. The food was so good. Highly recommend giving this place a try. We will be back. read more

We have been so excited to try this tavern, just to leave dissatisfied and disappointed. The fries came out old and hard, the waitress in error gave me the wrong burger, after a few bites we noticed we had each other's burgers . After explaining the error, and noticing I DIDNT EAT my burger she still decided to charge me and NOT replace my burger. I was there with family and didn't want to make a scene by requesting a manager, i honestly thought the waitress Erica would do the right thing. I left un impressed, and extremely dissatisfied. Aside from that, on a positive note, the ambience was beautiful, not to loud, nice and clean. Everyone was so nice (meaning the other staff members). read more

Very solid bar/tavern, well updated from its previous existence and recently re-opened. We've been twice now and the food was good, the wait staff attentive, and the atmosphere casual. Reasonably priced, too. Fairhaven needs this place! read more

pizza quality is good but any specialty pizza i have had is complete garbage. Korean bbq pizza the entire pull pork topping was completely black a burnt Tasted like charcoal. wasted of $20 Shame. Keep it simple, pizza is good. There pizzas misses on everything else tho. read more

I gave SoCo Tavern three times to get better. Well three strikes and your out. My family and friends have tried many menu items from salads to pizza to burgers. It is really difficult to have a pizza with no taste but they succeeded. I ordered a wedge salad and my wife ordered the watermelon salad. My friends ordered the same items. My wife and my meals came out first. My friends waited and waited. We informed the server who said the kitchen was backed up. Fifteen minutes later their meals arrived. I had added the steak tips to my salad and when I say the tips were small that was an understatement (pardon the pun). My wife's watermelon salad contained very little watermelon. The ambiance was loud and the air conditioning was unstable. Sorry SoCo the food and the prices are not worth another visit. I do commend the manager for taking half off our last bill and gave us free dessert. Still not enough for another return. read more

Take out order cold, we showed up before the time to pick up but I guess our pizzas had been ready way before and were just sitting getting cold. Disappointing. read more

Went there for dinner. Very busy. Got turned away because they didn't take walk ins. Really that was not good.

I called to make a reservation, as we loved Ice House and wanted to try SoCo Tavern, and the hostess told me no because I wouldn't show up. So I thought I had the wrong number and called back again and once again was told I cannot make a reservation because I won't show up. Then she informed me that she thought I was her friend prank calling her (apparently she had been all day) and laughing saying she was sorry but she kept laughing. At this point I asked for a 6pm reservation and they only had 7:30 available but when I went on open table I found the time I wanted for the amount of people I needed without issue. Overall, I found the hostess extremely rude and unprofessional. Needless to say my group of friends will not be going there and I won't be recommending SoCo Tavern to anyone. read more

We just came home from dinner at Soco. Everything was delicious! Our waitress Kenzie was amazing, very professional and so easy to talk to. The atmosphere was so relaxed and very calming. The restaurant was very busy but our servers all were very attentive to our party of 6. Bella and Kenzie get top star reviews from us. Thank you for a great dinner, we will be back for sure read more
