Blacken chicken nachos
Lana S.

Review is for happy hour only! My coworkers and I decided to stop by the bar for happy hour. Its Christmas time so the place was decked out in decorations! It was very nice atmosphere and the bartenders were very nice. From the happy hour menu I got the $5 house cab which was pretty good. We wanted some food to go with our drinks so we got a variety. -Cheese fries: Cant go wrong with cheese fries! Pretty good. Wanted a bit more cheese sauce and the fries were a tad salty (preference) -Blacken chicken nachos: these were really good! The blacken chicken had a lot of flavor. Also in my opinion the chips themselves were a bit salty. -Blacken shrimp: Came as 4 pieces and the best thing I ate. Very good! Wish I had more of the sauce they came on. -Fried lobster mac n cheese: least favorite. Dry on the inside and was fried too long. Couldn't really taste any lobster. Sauce that came with these bites were really good. My friend got the Cuban sandwich which looked amazing! Im sure the food from the actual menu is better. Overall we enjoyed our happy hour for food and drinks!

Was looking for a good happy hour in West Chester. Most of them ended around six, but I quickly learned that TAPS was going on. Every Wednesday from 5 to 7 there are additional happy hour specials at participating bars and restaurants. Many bars were super crowded, but the social had room to squeeze in. The bar is on the darker side creating some serious mood. The cocktails were delicious and the staff was super friendly.

Pistachio Chicken Fingers
Max K.

HAD to go here with my family for restaurant weekend like usual great vibes and service.Sadly I definitely got the wrong appetizer usually the tenders are good but they were terrible this time the breading was like raw and just fell off the chicken everyone threw it out.BUT the sweet potato fries and raspberry cream was amazing as usual. AND HOLY CRAP the salmon dish might have been the best entree I've ever gotten from a restaurant the crawfish and dirty rice exploded with flavor and the salmon was juicy while still being crispy

Great menu and lovely atmosphere. There's a bar area and dining spaces throughout the historic building. Super cool lighting and decor. Parking in garage around corner is your best bet as there's no parking along the road that it is located. The parking fees are reasonable. It did get busy so would recommend reservations. All staff were very friendly and helpful. Our server was attentive and you will not wait long for food. The menu is super creative and there are so many great dishes to try. We started with the goat cheese stuffed wings. Do not leave this restaurant without ordering these! They were amazing. For entrees we went with the pistachio chicken fingers which were huge and came with very tasty sweet potato fries. It comes with a good raspberry sauce, but ask for their honey mustard to dip as well. They also have this as an entree with sauce and potatoes, but didn't want that big of a meal. However, the app portion was pretty huge as well. Also ordered dish on the specials menu which was oysters and alligator with rice. Would for sure order again. Took dessert to go as the lemon cake sounded amazing and it was! Creamy and light with the perfect balance of lemon. Nothing we had was bad. The menu makes us want to come back and try something different again. It was hard to make a choice. We got drinks from the bar that were wonderful as well. Lots of crafty cocktail options. For sure a great place to visit. I wouldn't pass this one up if you find yourself in the area. Super reasonable prices for the portions and deliciousness.

Blackened catfish with crawfish jambalaya.,
Jeff G.

Great spot that we do not get to nearly enough. Sat outside. WC had a reggae band playing on the street which was nice. I had a fat heads head hunter IPA and my wife a Pinot noir. We started with the goat cheese stuffed wings, always awesome.,I ordered a special blackened catfish with crawfish jambalaya. My wife had the blackened scallops. Both were very good and large portions. We have been going to Dan Funks restaurants for a while. The food is always awesome. They have a huge nightly specials menu which I love. Recommended for sure.

Chicken and Waffles
Jack R.

Thought the restaurant itself was interesting and unique for West Chester. The chicken and waffles wasn't bad but felt like there was a lot of waffle for the amount of chicken. Sauce and bacon was a nice twist on a classic dish.

Hot honey chicken sandwich with fries
L N.

This place is adorable! Nice roomy table set up and music playing in the dining area. We got the hot honey chicken sandwich that was fried to perfection but needed some heat. It was sweet bun with sweet honey. It would be nice if on the menu it stated you could order a spice level! We also got the hummus platter that was large and everything was good but the tortilla chips on there- maybe old? What missed opportunity because they looked liked they had a seasoning on there that could have been good. Atmosphere and service were great! We will be back for cocktails and more food choices that can be customized.

Strawberry lemonade shaker

Our server (according to the receipt because I can't remember what he said when he introduced himself) was Dookie McGuffins. He was friendly and helpful. This restaurant has indoor seating with a bar area as well as outdoor seating. Gay Street in front of the restaurant was closed off to traffic and the restaurants all had outdoor seating in the street which was a nice vacation vibe. We started with Nola fries that had crab and cheese on top. It was a large enough portion to share among the 4 of us. Two people had the meatloaf, 1 jambalaya, and 1 cowboy brisket. Everything was delicious. Portion sizes were large. Desserts we had were key lime pie and blackberry peach cobbler. We'd go back again.

Bronze Salmon

Food decent Busy on weekends Great ambiance Would definitely recommend going again Now trying to fill up space

Chocolate layer cake
J P.

This was my first time at The Social. I'd known of it as a sort of dive bar with bands. However it's received a makeover. It's sooooo adorable and festive now!! We had a party of 5 with a 5:15 resy reservation. We were given a very gorgeous table on the other side of the front bar. It had its own little roof and a cool picture of Frank Sinatra. Love!! However, it was right outside the restrooms and for some reason, both doors SLAM so hard that it's jarring sitting there listening to the booms!! Such an easy fix, too! Hopefully management addresses this. 3 of us ordered specials: prime rib with garlic mashed and vegetables, burrito mix, and steak tacos. All were excellent! We shared a slice of chocolate layer cake which was more like a thicker torte consistency. It was good, served with sides of strawberry and whipped cream. Our server Gunnar was perfectly nice but not overly attentive. It was a very busy Friday night, in his defense. It wasn't busy at 5:15, but got pretty jammed by 6. The bus people were attentive with water refills and plate clearing, which is key. Overall I'm super happy with my choice for the birthday dinner! I'll be back!

Holy cow we hit gold with a Social, talk about a big checklist. Great food menu, great drink menu, cool decor and vibe, super dog friendly, very friendly and approachable staff, and to top it all off food with sensation. Made a last-minute reservation for two adults and a dog and we were so pleased to find out the options we had not just outside but outback as well so we got a chance to pick our table get ourselves settled in . Our server, Justus, really did a great job making sure that we were pleased, that everything was as requested, including pacing out the evening. So let me tell you about some excellent food that we had- started off with a cup of chicken gumbo, followed by a pan, seared crabcake, and for the entrée that we shared was the filet mignon cook, medium rare with jambalaya, and we took home the white chocolate bread pudding. Now that I got the menu out-of-the-way, let me just tell you everything that we had was cooked to perfection. The flavor profile was incredible. You can taste the spice is coming through and if you just close your eyes and kick back, he thought you were in New Orleans. Are you sure to see pics of our dishes as the presentations were works of culinary art.

One of my favorite restaurants in West Chester. My family loves going here whenever I come to visit them. Everything is absolutely delicious, and the portions are plentiful. We like to sit outside in the back area because I have older parents who are still cautious about covid. I like that there is plenty of outdoor seating! I had the shrimp and grits this past visit, and I am drooling just thinking about this dinner!! The sauce was so creamy and filling, everything was prepared perfectly, and the presentation was beautiful. Pictured is also the meatloaf, spicy chicken sandwich, seafood Newburg (special) and chicken and waffles. Nobody had anything negative to say during this meal! So everything was perfect.

Angelica took all the worry out of planning and came through on everything I asked for. The chef worked around my request for vegan and vegetarian entrees.

She wanted a Cajun/Jamaican style menu but caterers specializing in that cuisine were few and far between. I called Mizuna and spoke to Angelica. I was back and forth a thousand times with requests and changes in such a short period of time. She never got irritated or upset and always got back to me promptly. At the end of the day we asked if they could use specific Cajun and Jamaican recipes from my own personal files. Without hesitation they agreed to do so, and while we were all holding our breath the food tasted DELICIOUS and was SPOT ON with the flavors. My friend was so happy with the outcome and almost 80 people ate it all and raved about how good it was. The presentation of the food was so beautiful. I can't believe I didn't take a photo of it. Now, let me tell you about their staff. They are BOMB! Mizuna's waitstaff, bartenders, etc. were simply awesome. Respectful, helpful, patient, and seemed so happy to be employed by them. I want to thank Mizuna Catering for coming through for us.

Limoncello has been a popular choice since I can remember but I hadn't gone since I was in middle school. We were very satisfied with our meals and experience! The atmosphere is super fun and outgoing and service is great. We got water pitcher for the table which I loved. I'm always needing tons of water when I am eating so it's nice to have refills on the ready ! The free bruschetta was a pleasant surprise and the tomato's were fresh and delicious. I don't really like tomato's so when I like them you know they're dang good. We ordered the spicy rigatoni with a cutlet per Jenna's recommendation. I was absolutely blown away at HOW GOOD THE CUTLETS were. I'm a little picky about meat but these cutlets were the best I've ever had. They tasted incredible and were cooked perfectly. And they had a nice breaded crunch. Literally the best cutlets I've ever had The pasta itself was very good too. Big fat homemade rigatonis. Sauce was perfectly creamy and flavorful. But the added spice was a bit much for me. I was fine but I think I would've preferred it plain. My husband felt the opposite and highly the spice was mild so I don't know. We like spicy food we can handle relatively good spicy food but who knows ! It was still really good Our friend liked his branzino a lot. It's not something I would personally ever order but he seemed to really enjoy it he said! All in all we had a great time and want to come back asap (especially for those cutlets haha) thank you Jenna!!

Luckily, it's also an awesome shop with a great product. They serve what most folks call caramel corn - they instead refer to it as Toffee Popcorn. They could call it anything they want and I'd shell out money for it. Their toffee popcorn is absolutely delicious and somewhat unique to the category. Not the stuff you got giant bags of on the boardwalk as a kid. Much more depth of flavor, and a more refined product. Various mixed in ingredients include almonds, pistachios, white chocolate, etc, and my personal favorite CAYENNE Cashew! Go to MoJos and try the spicy popcorn, it's got great sweet and salty flavor upfront with a nice slow heat as you keep eating. Popcorn is available is various sizes and they often have some that is nice and warm! They also serve gelato, coffee, and other beverages. Gelato is currently sourced from a small artisan maker. Also a very quality, delicious product. We had the chocolate (very rich and dark) and he sea salt caramel.
