We went for the Fl Colorado BB game. Band was supposed to start playing after game but the guitar player kept playing over announcers so you couldn’t here game. Management allowed this. Food quality has gone down and slow service. I won’t be

Love social especially on thursdays they have aycd and the vibe there is so chill. They also have karaoke on Wednesdays. On Fridays and Saturdays they often have special events and you can purchase tickets on Posh. It is also a really good spot on game days. They usually always have something going on which is why it's a really popular spot in Gainesville. I really like that they have both an upstairs and downstairs because it's more space and different vibes. Also I've only had the food once I had the Buffalo mac and cheese it was soooo good like one of the best dishes ever. One complaint I have about social is that sometimes they sell tickets cheaper at the door then they do for their preorder sales online. I got upset one time when this happened because I felt like I had been cheated by paying the higher price online which was advertised to be a better deal than paying out the door.

1st and last time I'll go here. Didn't have a server for starters had to walk up to the counter to look at the menu with no prices was given a faded menu. There's a hidden fee at the end as their "tip" and then asks you to tip in top of that. Got 2 meals and an appetizer which ended up being $70 which is more than going to a regular chain restaurant. They gave us ups but the lids were too big for the cups and plasticware for our food. Not to mention they were blasting 2 different kinds of music for it guess the club and restaurant area. Gave me a headache. Dont ever eat here it's not worth it.

Have been coming here for many years and while the menu has changed many times over that period, the quality was still that of like a chili’s or TGIF at least. But why last visit could not have been more of a let down. I made the mistake of bringing my parents here after a year away from gainesville and it’s almost impressive how much worse their Mac n cheese was. There was a suggestion of a cheese sauce at best. Luckily I got the bbq pork Mac and the frozen pulled pork was enough to make it edible. Will NOT be coming back again, which is sad since I’ve been coming since 2016.

The menu does not reflect correctPricing for food items, and there were added charges with out letting us know before hand. In the menu the items we ordered totaled to about $16 and the total ended up being $24 and they still ask for additional gratuity. Wouldn’t have an issue with it if they were transparent and upfront.

The chicken tender melt deal sucks not only was it over cooked it had a very salty taste , the hamburger was hard as rock and very dry.The food sucks - expensive cheap quality. It would also be nice to advise the prepaid gratuity before charging and asking for a tip on top of it.

Most of the staff are professional but ladies watch out for the 50 something bouncer “boss” that inappropriately touches people to “kick them out.” The person he yelled at was a designated driver and completely sober… there was no explanation for his behavior. Weirdo that ruined such a fun place for my friends and I while simultaneously letting groups of his friends and family cut the line and skip cover.

Scam place! Fraudulent charges to my card! They charged my card a separate transaction for $20 with no explanation. Watch your receipts!

No more table service and they ran out of hamburgers and beer tap availability was pretty bad last visit (first four asked for were out). One beer they did have tasted really off (drank it anyway). The bartender was super apologetic and great about everything though which helps. I'll go back for the convenience of the location before basketball games but will certainly lower my expectations.
