Stopped by SoHo Social last Friday for happy hour and had a really good time. We decided to go all in on apps, and it was the right move the chicken dip and egg rolls were both solid. For dessert, we got the cinnamon pretzel, and I see why it's popular...definitely a must-try. I had a margarita and my wife had a lemon drop both were well made and hit the spot. The atmosphere was lively but still relaxed, and service kept things moving without feeling rushed. Overall, a great happy hour spot with good food, drinks, and energy. We'll be back.

My first trip to this restaurant was excellent, and I have my co-worker to thank for it! He has been sharing the Burger of the Month with us since he started working for the company. So on the last day of work before the Christmas holiday, several of us agreed to go with him to SoHo Social to try the December Burger of the Month. This restaurant is located in the Homewood City Center in SoHo Square. We met at the restaurant at 11:30am. The parking was insane, but we found decent places. The restaurant was decorated for Christmas and a few servers had Christmas pins on, which was nice. The December Burger of the Month was the Spicy Cahaba, which was 2 smashed beef patties, jalapeño bacon, fresh jalapeños, smashed garlic tots, and 3 sauces - buffalo sauce, ranch sauce, and Cahaba sauce. It sounded so messy, so I wore black instead of cream like I was planning. We placed our orders and about 15 minutes later, we had our plates. Most of us did the Burger of the Month, but some did other burgers because they could not do the jalapeño. My co-worker was right. The flavor of the burger was unbelievably good. It was not as messy as I first thought, even though I did go through several paper towels that were on the table. I enjoyed my burger and fries, and so did my other co-workers. The icing on the cake for me was the group playing Secret Santa a couple of tables next to us. They were having a ball and even though others were feeling their table was too loud, I was loving it! Made me want to dig in my purse for something so I could be part of the game! When my husband heals from his oral surgery, we will have to come here for date night. Definitely recommend!

soho social is a staple in my life! i come here pretty often for happy hours and lunches. my most recent order were the gringo loco tacos and they were amazing! this restaurant is perfect for a casual lunch or a date night! i highly recommend stopping by here - service is great and staff is always kind.

Espresso Martini
Elisha A.

Food was mediocre, wings were terrible I did not like the flavor . Eggrolls were ok. Restaurant was very dimly lit. Ambiance was cool service was nice . Staff was friendly. Seasonal espresso martini was amazing I had 3 . I would only come back for the drink and not for the food. Side note : the bathrooms were clean

Shrimp tacos and broccoli salad
Jasmine T.

I come here pretty often for lunch and happy hour. They have great burgers, tacos, and sides. My fav dish has been the crabcake blt and tots. They're drinks are also bomb! They're pretty and potent, just like I like em lol. I've sat at the bar, on the patio, and some tables inside and received good service each time. Definitely a Homewood gem.

The Harvest Bowl
Lyn D.

I went during happy hour when most of their cocktails were half off. I ordered the basics salad for $18 and the harvest bowl for $20. They came out in big portions, so it was worth the money. The food was good, and our waitress, Haley, was very courteous. They have indoor and outdoor seating options. Perfect on nice weather days to have options. I would definitely go back.

Sweet Potatoe Fries
Jameka T.

This resteraunt is good. The food was great. The noise level is high. It took me a second to get used to.

Queso
Bella A.

Soho social is a perfect spot for a casual happy hour moment. Service was quick. We ordered some cheesy shareables. The pimento cheese balls were my personal favorite, but the queso and pimento cheese dip were also delicious. They offer happy hour drinks from 4-6 (excluding their specialty cocktails), and I was able to secure a margarita for $4.50! Will definitely be coming back for happy hours.

Tallulah chicken wings cahaba buffalo sauce

FOURTH REVIEW FOR CHICKEN WINGS! OH. EM. GEEEEE!!! Why did no one tell me of this gem beforehand? NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM. 1. Crispiness. a 4/5. I have had crispier but they did have a crunch. (see review of umami bham chicken wings...now that is a 6/5 crunch!) 2. Chicken. 6/5. Bite into the wing and see those loverly juices run! Plump and perfectly cooked chicken. 3. Portion size. These are DEFINITELY larger than your average chicken wings! They are marinated (which you can tell), smoked and then fried. The flavor is intense. And I have not gotten to the sauce yet! 4. DEFINITELY AND FINALLY A BUFFALO-ESQUE HOT SAUCE WITH A KICK! And they do not skimp on the sauce like the previous 3 places I have reviewed (Monday Night Brewing Social Club, A-Train terrible foodtruck and umami). Hallelluiah, I have found my go to place for good chicken wings. Plus, M-F from 3-6, they are 1/2 as well as all other appetizers. Unlike some places, the appetizer menu for happy hour only consists of 2-3 items- not true for Soho Social! All drinks (including calls) are also 1/2 off. The ONLY drinks that are not included for this happy hour deal are the specialty drinks. Also, I ordered a side salad (to feel quasi healthy...) and expected the usual options of "garden or caesar." NOPE! You can order any of the 5 salads that they offer under the "Salads and Bowls" section, just without the protein. And the portion is still a good size. Services was superb. I wanted for nothing and they were jovial, informative and helpful. There is a wonderful patio, street parking and...not sure what else you would want ??? Soho Standard is the main restaurant, from what I gather, and across from the plaza outside of city hall is Soho tacos. Have not tried these other two "Sohos" but now I want to see what they have to offer!

I've been here twice. Each time was a great experience. I always sit at the bar..the bartenders are great! Very friendly and open to indulging my constant chatter. Lol. They serve some great beers on tap as well as wine. Their house red blend is pretty good. I am not a big fan of pimento cheese but their fried pimento cheese balls are fantastic! I tried their grilled steak ceasar salad..very good. Dressing is homemade..steak was cooked well. The crispy parmesan added great flavor. They have a nice outdoor seating area as well. Nice spot.

Pretzel
Jalexus H.

We got to SoHo Social as a party of 10 and they were very kind and accommodating. Even though we got there during happy hour, we were seated pretty quickly. If you're looking for a quiet place to chat, SoHo is not it. At least during happy hour. But if you want great happy hour deals, SoHo is your place. It's lively and loud but service was still great and food was fresh! They have a rotating $1 beer everyday and 1/2 off some drinks and all apps during happy hour. We decided to try the mini dogs, the pretzel, tots, pimento cheese bits, and Cahaba chicken dip. Everything came out quickly and fresh. My personal favorites were the mini dogs and the pretzel. They don't skimp on dipping sauces either. Each appetizer comes with plenty of options to try out. When it comes to happy hour, SoHo is pretty hard to beat.

We stopped in for lunch and were met with excellent customer service and an open, airy, and well-lit atmosphere. The menu isn't overcrowded, which I appreciated, and our waitress knew it well enough to confidently walk us through it. We started with the okra chaat, fish dip, and shrimp toast. The okra chaat was spicy, crunchy, and good, though I thought the okra was sliced too thin. The fish dip was flavorful perfection. The shrimp toast had great flavor, but deep-frying it felt unnecessary; it left the dish greasy and heavy, with far more bread than topping. For my entrée, the chef was kind enough to serve the red snapper over the field pea and rice salad. The snapper was very good, but that field pea and rice salad was something to text home about--literally. (I texted my husband after two bites.) Bright, nice acidity, great snap to the peas, and just perfect for the season. And the cocktails? Bartender's kiss. I took a sip and immediately told my friend to taste. I enjoyed this restaurant immensely. Thoughtful service, a beautiful space, memorable food, and enough standouts that already got me looking forward to coming back.

The restaurant specializes in locally sourced and carefully curated seafood, offering both raw and cooked preparations. I was in Birmingham for a short period and wanted to visit Bayonet while I was in town. Since I was booking at the last minute, I was unable to secure a dinner reservation, so I visited for Saturday lunch instead. I began with a bar cart martini, which was shaken tableside and served with a raw oyster. I then selected several oysters from the restaurant's menu, which guests fill out themselves. For the remaining dishes, I shared the shrimp toast appetizer with a friend and ordered the swordfish reuben sandwich as my entrée. The oysters were the highlight of the meal for me. The shrimp toast and swordfish reuben sandwich were enjoyable, although neither was as memorable as the oysters. The overall experience was enhanced by the quiet, intimate setting. Our server was kind and attentive and demonstrated a strong knowledge of the menu. Although I visited for lunch, I would be interested in returning for dinner on my next visit to Birmingham to experience more of Bayonet's seafood-focused menu.

You need to have somewhere with the dessert stated on your menu. Second, the butternut squash that I got with my fish, should've been done a touch more. It was still good. It just needed to be done a touch more. 3. Please fix the handicapped bathroom. It didn't want to lock . Regardless, it was a wonderful meal!! Our server was pretty on point. She was friendly. She was fast no complaints and she got tipped very well. I think her name was Briana O!! She was an excellent waitress! All in all, I think everyone enjoyed their meal .

The drinks came quickly, the salads came right after and then about 3 mins later, the appetizers came out. 3 mins after that, the main courses arrived so we had plates stacked everywhere on the table and quickly tried to finish our salads and appetizers before the main dish got cold. The waitress never returned to the table until she brought the bill. The plates were all cleared by someone else. We saw her leave a bill at the table next to us and wait until they checked it over and figured out a payment method, so when she arrived at our table we just handed her a credit card. The food was average but the overall experience was terrible. I realize she was probably new and this may have been her first night but some training would go a long way!

Phenomenal dining experience!!…read more Service was top notch from the hostess and host, our waiter and all of the runners. Attentive without being obnoxious, in depth explanations of items on the menu with great recommendations! We started with a half dozen raw oysters and the pork belly. Oysters were very fresh and the seasoned crackers were a nice touch. The pork belly was quite possibly the best we've ever had and we're slight snobs about it. The fennel and orange mixture was a unique blend that really complemented the smokiness of the pork belly, Our steaks were melt in your mouth good. Cooked perfectly! I wished I could've just taken a massive bowl of the macaroni and cheese home. The char on the broccolini balanced the richness of the macaroni. They were sadly out of the crème brûlée, so instead I had the vanilla and peach gelato, while my husband had the chocolate l'orange cake. The vanilla gelato had the perfect rich vanilla taste. The peach didn't taste much like peach, but the flavor was still good. The cake was light and fluffy with a great balance of chocolate and orange. The candied orange peel on top was a nice touch! The atmosphere is pretty busy so it was louder than I was expecting. However, the ability to see the wine cellar, fridge of aging meat, and a window to stop in to look at the kitchen was a lot of fun. Highly recommend!

Since the kitchen is completely open and visible to guests, I think extra attention should be given to sanitation and overall presentation. I noticed one of the cooks drinking while preparing food, and another wiped his nose with his arm while working. Although he didn't use his hand, it still left me feeling a little uneasy. When guests can see directly into the kitchen, those small details really matter. Aside from that, we enjoyed our experience, and I do think this is a place worth trying at least once. The atmosphere, service, and recommendations from our server were definitely highlights of our visit.
