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.

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.

I ordered the seafood pasta, and you could immediately tell the pasta was homemade. It was fresh, perfectly cooked, and the seafood was beautifully prepared. My daughter had the spaghetti, and my husband ordered the Waldorf salad, which was just as thoughtfully put together. Our waitress also recommended the hummus and house pickles, and I'm so glad we listened. Both were fresh, unique, and the perfect way to start the meal. From the food to the service, everything felt polished without being pretentious. It was one of those meals where every dish was executed with care and attention to detail. Overall, The Essential was such a pleasant surprise and proof that you can find five star dining experiences in the most unexpected places.

The interior has a nostalgic, warm vibe and would be a great setting for a date night. Our server was awesome! He was friendly, attentive, and recommended some great food and drink options. I also really enjoyed the open-kitchen concept, as I always like being able to see the food being prepared. My only concern was with a couple of things I noticed in the kitchen. 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.

The minute we walked in and heard the live music, we knew we were going to have a good time. The food did not disappoint.

Hubby had the steak and eggs, and the one bite he was willing to spare was surprisingly delicious too! I went with the fried green tomatoes and Brussels sprouts because I already knew I'd be helping myself to some pasta from their plates. We finished it all off with banana pudding and key lime pie, and both were the perfect ending. Great food, live music, good vibes, friendly server and a fun stop on the road home.

There was a guy performing live there, and the music was not so overpowering that you were unable to talk across the table. Very pleasant. Service was slow but it appeared they were understaffed. Order bowl of Gumbo for appetizers. We went on and provided our entree orders at that time as well. We waited about 25-30 minutes a different person brought out our order. I ask the server to take the gumbo back, as we had order that as an appetizer. In a few minutes our original server brought the gumbo back to our table. I told her we had ordered that as an appetizers, the server apologized and said it had gotten "Lost in the kitchen, keep it, I'll take care of it". About the food, wife ordered salad with chicken. The salad had 4 large fried chicken tenders on it. I order the sirloin tips over rice. Overall tasty, but gravy was a little salty. Dish included some green beans as well which were tasty. Overall experience was ok, service a little slow which I don't understand with the lower population in the dining room. When I got the check, the gumbo was still on the ticket. Not sure what "I'll take care of it " meant, not what I expected. I paid for it without saying anything else. Actually it was pretty good gumbo. Paid the bill, left a good tip, as the server seemed to be running her legs off. Going back? Probably so, but it'll be a while till I do.

The filling was very well seasoned. The only downside was the very small dot of Parmesan crema. For our main course, my husband ordered the 14oz prime ribeye steak and I had the Shrimp Scampi. His steak was perfectly cooked and tender. It was served with scalloped potatoes. He said they were very good. The Shrimp Scampi was the best I've had in the US in a restaurant. Served with capellini. Sizable portion. Sauce was delicious. I decided before our meal arrived to add an order of focaccia. This was tender and tasty though the texture was not what I expect in focaccia. If we had the financial means to visit this restaurant, we will go again. Friends gifted us a gift card for Oak House and another friend a visa gift card. The bill after tax was $174.02. We tipped slightly over 20%. It was a delicious and enjoyable dinner.

High ceilings and exposed brick are a few of the ways to my heart. If you've seen a post about this place, you've probably seen a picture of the crackly round, artistic dish and wondered what it was. There are dumplings on the underside of it and you break each one off of the crackly part to enjoy. We did enjoy these but I would've loved a soy sauce to dip them in. They came with chili crunch, peanuts, and green onions but I wanted an actual sauce. They were very standard tasting dumplings and there was nothing extraordinary about them unfortunately. As always, we'd looked at the menu beforehand and decided what we wanted. It does state on their website that their menus can change due to freshness and availability. But we'd both decided on an app and entree we wanted only to get there and have none of them on the menu. I do appreciate a rotating menu to accommodate local items, but I would also love for those to be updated on a regular basis. So after rerouting, we decided on the chicken skewers as another app with the dumplings. These were chargrilled, flavorful, and had a nice crust on them. I got shrimp fried rice and Julia got spicy beef noodles. It was fine but I wish the shrimp wouldn't have been cut up. It felt like they chopped them up in order to not put as many in the dish. At $25 for this, I'd like whole shrimp please. There were a few pieces of raw spinach with pepper on the top. I would've loved a sauce of some kind. I would've preferred shrimp hibachi with fried rice from a Japanese place that included vegetables and sauces. This was not *bad* there was just SO much room for improvement. We both agreed that nothing was awful, but for these prices and the hype, we expected more. Our waitress was super friendly. Bonus points because they had match boxes at the host stand! There was a paid parking lot diagonal from the restaurant, so we had to walk through an intersection to get there. There are some spots up front if you can snag one. Overall, we enjoyed our time here but won't be sprinting back.

Wooden City is located off Morris Avenue in a shared row of older buildings. There's a private parking lot behind the building, and you can have your parking ticket validated at the restaurant. The location and vibe on Morris Avenue are really neat and uniquely Birmingham. It's a great addition to the city's dining scene. Our party of four started with drinks and shared three appetizers: the Bread and Butter, Heirloom Tomatoes, and Steak Tartare. My favorite was the Bread and Butter. It's house-made focaccia served with a sun-dried tomato spread and an oil dipping sauce. The bread was amazing. For my entrée, I ordered the Peel-and-Eat Shrimp from the appetizer menu. It was fabulous--a generous portion of large shrimp that were perfectly seasoned and grilled. For dessert, we shared the Chocolate Mousse and Blueberry/Blackberry Crisp. The crisp was my favorite. It was served hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream--an excellent way to finish the meal. While Wooden City doesn't have a large menu, everything we tried was very well done. I definitely recommend giving it a try, but don't be in a hurry. The service was a little slow during our visit.

No need to settle the tab and start a new one at the table. And the old fashioned I had was delicious. For food, we started with the Hungarian Hot Stuffed Peppers. These were pretty good and the heat gradually snuck up on you as you ate them. I don't know if it was because the heat was more intense as you worked your way towards the stem or just a gradual burn. Either way, these were good and worth the heartburn later. The thick focaccia helped with the burn a little. Speaking of heartburn, the pepperoni pizza may have contributed a bit to that too, but again, totally worth it. The cup-and-char pepperoni was charred nicely as were the edges and bottom! I love a nice bottom! These were easy to share between two of us. Service was amazing from the bartender to the waiter to the uber driver (who didn't really count, but nice job, man). We felt welcomed and I can see why the place was crowded on a Tuesday evening.
