    The hamburger was raw!  The philly cheese steak sandwich did not have any bell peppers and no cheese!

    I have been there before, the food was pretty good overall. This time the hamburger was raw and the philly cheese steak sandwich did not have cheese or bell pepper.

    Just moved to the area and been looking for good soul food and found it right around the corner to home. Fast service, good prices and food was good !!

    I have seen SSE pop up on food delivery apps a few times so I was confused when I saw they were "closed" according to Yelp; called them, emailed yelp and quickly got to ordering because I was hankering for some COMFORT FOOD. Lemme just say right now if you want flavor, crunch, classic soul food type vibe then I certainly recommend the pork chops with mac and cheese. I appreciate the max being in a little tin because it made it easy to pop into my air fryer and pull out a bubbling bowl of gluttony lol... four cheese and not-soggy elbow macaroni. I had to force myself to save a bite for my partner to try when they get home. The pork chops are substantial, well, but not over seasoned and come With a nice pickled okra that made me want more okra! I tasted the black eyed peas and corn cake and let's just say I am looking forward to trying more next time. Hopefully the menu expands to include a side sampler or easier ways to order more sides without having to get full orders if you want variety. Very pleased with dinner thank you!

    My family was in the area and we were hungry and came across this gem. There hot lemon pepper wings were really flavorful and there hamburgers were huge definitely homemade had the onions inside and it was so delicious as were there seasoned fries. Service was quick and they let us know it would be more of a wait for the burger which we were fine with. When we are in the area we will be back to check out there other options

    We ordered the chicken wings (honey hot flavor) and mac and cheese togo. Service was fast and courteous. The mac and cheese was a nice size portion a little bit greasy but it was overall good. The honey hot flavor wings were a little bit too sweet I wish I had ordered the side of ranch.

    Happy to see them back up and running! Southern Social has a new location inside of the all new amazing OC.....Opportunity Central in Forney, TX. OC is a multi-plex building filled with eateries, shops, work spaces, a coffee shop and a basketball court. Really nice building! The staff at Southern Social is friendly and had patience while I decided what I wanted and sampled all the kool aid and tea. Food Review: Parmesan Wings - seasoned grilled wings with a wet Parmesan cheese sauce doused on top. The wings weren't fully coated in the sauce and had more of a grill flavor. They were ok! I wouldn't pass up Wing Stop to get to them. Seafood Baked Potato - stuffed with gumbo style seafood; shrimp, lobster, crabmeat, piled high on top of a baked potato. Be sure to mix the topping well with the potato, because it could be a little salty. Wonder if they can add extra sauce on the side? mmmm it could use a little more sauce. It was good! Suicide Tea Laid - I mixed the Blue Raspberry and Strawberry Koolaid and Sweet Tea together, to make a super sweet, refreshing, lip smacking drink. Got home, added water and turned my 1 drink into 3. Call your dentist before you sip. Overall the food was good and the place is nice. I'd return.

    Fried Chicken 3pc (leg/thigh/wing)... excellent seasoning!!!

    The food was amazing!!!! We were a little disappointed that it was not a traditional sit-down restaurant, just a walk up window inside of this beautiful building. The staff was super duper nice and helpful.. my husband and I will be back!!!!

    S.S.E Wings (6) are amazing!! The wings are juicy and the flavor is on point!

    Pork chops are the bomb. Braised short ribs were greasy and sweet...not to my liking. Sides are great and contain plenty of meat.

These guys serve a great sandwich with some of the best tasing freshly sliced turkey, roast beef, salami etc... freshly sliced and placed right on your sandwich! The #8 with bacon is a solid choice, and the #13 is pretty insane! There are not a lot of times I don't choose Jersey Mike's for Lunch if the choice is left up to me! I first had Jersey Mike's many years ago when they first came to Dallas off of Greenville Avenue, and have not been able to shake the Jersey Mike sandwich craving! When I first changed job locations to Forney back in January, my options were a gas station Subway or a Subway in a Walmart! :( Needless to say, I was more than pumped when Jersey Mike's announced they were coming to Forney! I think the first two months they were open we were there probably three times a week literally!! I highly recommend Jersey Mike's especially this location in Forney off of Highway 80 and 548!

    Food was good!!! Service was amazing!!!!…read moreManager goes over and above!!! It's a must try

    I've always had good experiences with Stop N Go Gyros at other locations, which is why I decided to…read moretry the Forney spot, twice. Unfortunately, both visits left me disappointed. First Visit: Our order was fairly large: a couple of wraps, Greek fries, regular fries, and a gyro plate. When we got home, we realized both orders of fries were missing. I called the restaurant and was told they would give me the fries the next day if I came back. With the holidays approaching and a busy schedule, I wasn't going to make a separate trip just to pick up fries, so I asked for a refund instead. They said they would "see what they could do." I followed up with an email afterward and was completely ignored. The food itself wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't as good as I remembered from other locations, as the basmati rice was pretty dry. I later realized I had placed the order about 20 minutes before closing (not knowing weekend hours were shorter), so it's possible the food wasn't as fresh as it should've been. Second Visit: I gave them another chance and went back with friends with another to go order. I mentioned the missing fries from my previous visit, but it was brushed off, and nothing was done to make it right. I wasn't about to make a scene over fries, but at that point, it felt like they simply kept my money. To make matters worse, the food this time didn't sit well. A few of us ended up with stomach issues the following day, which sealed the deal for me. Final Thoughts: After two visits involving missing items, lack of follow-up, and stomach problems, I'm not thrilled with this location. It's disappointing because I've had much better experiences at other Stop N Go Gyros locations. Unfortunately, this Forney spot doesn't meet the standard I've come to expect.
