The Social is the PERFECT name for this establishment-everything screams "social" from the variety of interactive activities each week to the open seating that encourages a sense of community. This third space is exactly what a college town needs-a fun, safe location for people to hang out with friends. Better yet, it's not a bar (they serve mocktails but no alcohol), so it's a fantastic match for the Provo vibe. I attended to watch my son perform as part of a jazz combo one evening. I love that they have live music on the weekends. During the week, you can find karaoke, comedy and other fun events. There's a pool table and plenty of open seating and couches where you can hang with your friends. The menu is a little bit of everything, which sometimes worries me. When a restaurant tries to be too many things, they don't usually excel at any of them-but the beef bulgogi that I ordered was delicious. It paired nicely with "Cuddles on the Beach," a mocktail whose name begged me to give it a try. Even as an adult that does occasionally have a drink, this would be a place that I'd happily come and hang out in. Hopefully the younger crowd won't mind this old fart in their midst pretending to be cool. I promise, I'll get out of there by 9pm. read more

Worst experience ever. We went there with a large group. The menu looked good. After 1.5 hours they started telling people in our group they didn't have pasta and we never got our food. Have never experienced anything like it they told us to get a refund because most of us were not going to get our food. read more

I have wanted to try this place for quite some time. It's a fun and unique atmosphere being underground. There is tons of seating. We chose to sit on a couch which was perfect for my 2 year old to move around. We tried a delicious mockatail. We ordered a Margherita flatbread and it was yummy. We also ordered waffle fries for my 2 year old and she loved them. We also ordered the chicken fajita bowl and it was fantastic. It was nice and fresh and flavorful. All the food was filling. I will definitely be back! read more

This place has a great atmosphere. I love the scattered seats throughout the stone, cozy, basement. There is plenty of seating, even big group tables. The menu is a little big, almost overwhelming. I am always a little hesitant when it's huge because that usually means a lot of Okay food and nothing spectacular. We ordered the burger and the Italian flat bread. I was surprised at how minimal the burger was and yet so packed with flavor. The texture is good, the patty is fresh, it has cucumbers instead of lettuce, and it takes great. I enjoyed it. I wish it came with a side of fries but it isn't much more to add them on. We also got to try the new spicy fry sauce they are working on. It was great. The flat bread came out a little wonky, not a consistent shape but was very hot and fresh. The toppings were delicious, pretty much just a mini pizza to be honest. The service seems to be getting ironed out. Most new restaurants require a grace period, especially in a college town. Our food took awhile to come out, including the special drink we ordered. But the owner was great at walking around and checking on people that were waiting. So they are making improvements. Overall, I think this is a really cool spot for food and hanging out. There are big TVs on some walls with games on, there are seated areas to dine and chat. There is live music on the weekends and a pool table in the back. Usually these items bring the place down classyness wise. But here it works, it's classy yet fun. Excited to see it grow, we will be back to try more items. read more

The vibe here is amazing. Underground, in the basement of old Provo buildings, with a dozen cozy nooks to chill and eat in. What a place! Provo really needs a place like this! read more

An amazing basement cafe and bar located right off university avenue. Good food, excellent atmosphere, and no traffic noise.

Desserts were good. Not all listed desserts were available. Wait for them was on the edge of completely unacceptable. Had to check on them to get a lame excuse for the wait. Service borders on obtrusive at the greeting. Interesting vibe. Music was just starting when we left and was good. The alcohol laws if not ment to makes you feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Apparently no personal freedom in Utah. Would go back again to try. I have been on 5 continents and feel qualified to make this review. read more

The taste of the food and the servers are the only good things i can say about this place. Me and my family walked in and ordered all around the same time as each other (we had called ahead and told them in advance 9 people were coming). We then sit down to eat and someone's burger comes out in ten minutes, cool. After this point it turns into utter chaos. One flatbread came out burnt on half, another came without pepperoni after specifically asking them to add it, crepes took 25 minutes for some reason, and when dessert was ordered afterwards we had to cancel because it was taking 45 MINUTES to make (it also took 45 minutes for salad to come out, wth???). Food on the same ticket did not all come out at the same time, and had about 30 minutes between each item coming out. When we asked why this was they acted as if this was normal, and the standard for a restaurant. This was a highly disappointing experience and I would not recommend this place to other people. read more

Amazing people amazing food. Its expensive, but expected for a bar that doesn't charge people to come in and lets you play board games and pool for as long as you want just for getting one drink. Plus, the crepes are fire. Everyones especially kind and service is great, amazing ambiance. read more

We came across this restaurant by accident after an event held at the Covey Center For The Arts, which happened to be the George Michael reborn tribute concert. Honestly, a little difficult to find via maps, as we did not know that it was in the basement of the address. But as soon as we entered, we were greeted by Malcolm served by Hiram and even the owner Patrick came out to serve us, and chat a bit about his restaurant. I had the Chuk's salmon bowl And Elaine had the TomTom Tom bowl. Both were delicious where you even had that Clafoutis dessert which the Chef came out to recommend to us. It has a great atmosphere with a pool table, board games, card games and a large screen TV. There's even an area where people can play a piano or sing. read more

This is a great place for a late meal or a drink with friends. It's located downstairs. Street parking is available. There are maybe 6 different menus to choose your meal from. You order your food and drinks at the bar and then choose a place to hang out. There are high tops by the pool table, both large share style and regular tables in the next room. The waitstaff were very professional. We ordered the large Greek salad and Mediterranean flatbread pizza and were served very shortly after ordering. The food was so good we ordered a crepe for desert. It was equally as delicious. read more

Perfect place for a college town. Where was this when I was in school? It's the perfect place for group studies, friend hangouts, or a simple highly out. They've got mocktails, lots of food options, desserts, entertainment, and comfy seating in a cool environment that is modern yet gives a sensible nod to the building's age. read more

The Social - Foreground: one of many socializing areas; Background: Dining area - Pizza Near Me - Provo, Utah

It's a cute spot with great ambiance. Definitely more of a college "bar" hangout. Food was decent. Not great, not terrible. Tacos that were 80% chopped onion, a relatively plain burger. Drinks are interesting. They don't make alcoholic mix drinks here? So I had to order a cocktail with a shot on the side and mix it myself. For a dry bar I'm sure it's good. For those of us who want an alcoholic drink, not so much. There was nobody in the restaurant at all when we came. Kind of quiet and spooky. They do have lots of board games if that's your thing. Service was fine. You order at the counter then sit down. read more

Mama dos flatbreads are unbelievable here! You have to go if you want some of the best flatbreads in town. The ambiance is adorable which super cute decor. It is kind of like an underground bar so the vibes are so fun. The staff is so kind and helpful. We tried the flatbread, onion rings, and drinks and they were all so delicious. 10/10 will be going back and I'm so happy someone is finally making a social environment that provo has desperately needed for a long time now! read more

The Social - Mai tai - Pizza Near Me - Provo, Utah

I attended a Halloween costume party hosted by a film festival and it was amazing! They've made significant upgrades since this was "the underground" and I am super jazzed to frequent The Social regularly. The new owner, event manager and food manager all seem very involved and excited to bring together the Provo community and visitors into a pretty cool new way. Has a real family and hangout vibe with pool table, lounge couches, big family style dinner tables, modern picnic tables, some intimate seating areas and a serving bar. Totally good space for a private event, particularly with the kitchen serving window a little tucked away and the super large bar with ample equipment for beverage cooling. read more

Great place to have a variety of foods. I am a picky eater but I highly recommend The Luna Cubana, The Winter or Italian Flatbread, The Greek Salad, Spanish Chorizo Bites and for dessert The Killer Churro Plate or The Flourless Chocolate Torte that has an orange taste! Those are for sure my favorites, and you can't go wrong ordering those. If you like live music, Friday night is a good time for that. If you like a quiet atmosphere I recommend a Monday, Tuesday or Thursday evening and early evening Saturday. Good service, manager is very hands on. read more

If I could give this place a 6/5 I would. The cutest provo restaurant ever! My sister and I ordered the flat bread and onion rings and it was amazing!! The staff were sooo sweet and the vibe was super chill and welcoming! We also ordered two drinks and they were super delish as well! Definitely recommend! read more

Horrible customer service which sucks because the food and drinks were good. The owner was very unprofessional and the lady who took our order was rude! Go somewhere else for a night out. read more

Went here with friends and they brought out 2 plates of crepes. The lady just set it down and mumbled. We found out that same lady was The co-owner and she told us to pay for it since we took a bite and we were willing. The owner comes out and says you shouldn't do that, we told him that she put it down and we didn't know who ordered it. It was a misunderstanding. She proceeded to yell at us saying that we needed to pay. First of all, not our fault they brought the wrong plate to the wrong table. Second, have some customer service. Jesus Christ. Very disappointed, I loved this place and after that I will NOT be going back. read more

This place was such a missed opportunity. It gets 2 stars because of the atmosphere. The vibes in there were great, nice staff, cool location.... but, the food was actually really bad. We got food from each place and all of it was all gross. The nachos were the best, and the Indian food was decent, below average. They used dried out canned chicken on salad and Walmart bought crouton.... It was drier than the Sahara desert. If they got some better restaurants in here this place would be awesome read more

It took over 30 minutes to get tacos and some nachos. Once we got them they were cold, as if they had pulled them out of the fridge and let them sit for 10 minutes. Mock tails were pretty good, little pricey though. read more

Probably one of the most botched ideas ever. Could have been such a cool place for provo, but it is such a dingy gross environment in a basement. I was hyped for our mock-tail drinks with my friends, but to no surprise it was probably one of the worst drinks I've ever had, and $6 bucks none the less. No one finished their drinks. If you want to sit down and huff black mold while you suck down a gross drink, this place is for you. read more

The setting is awesome. Lots of space, seating, pool table, games. The vibe is very fun and welcoming. They serve mocktails! The reason I gave it 3 stars is because the food is terrible. We ordered 3 kinds of tacos and the nachos. The flavor was bad, the meat tasted microwaved, way too much sauce... we took a bite or two and threw it all away. read more
