So I've been debating how I wanted to write this review and forgot for a while to post, (busy life), but here's what happened. About a month ago a friend of mine invited me to try this place for brunch and oysters. Service was decent and the food not bad! The oysters were good but here's the issue; I'm eating and oyster and "CRUNCH!" I feel a snap and spit out a Lil tooth and a baby pearl from inside my oyster! I'm in shock and the server is kind of like "oh no"......... of course no one can guess that something like that would have happened, but literally no manager came out, nothing! Like no acknowledgment of the insanity of me chipping a tooth at their establishment! Not only was there no apology I was still charged for the oysters. I work in the industry so I didn't make a big deal, people have even told me to sue. I think what's most concerning was the lack of care just because I didn't make a scene. I'll post a pic of the pearl here. I've had time to think on it and it's just really lame no one even checked on me and it was like "too bad" basically. The eggs Benedict weren't worth the dentist bill I'll be dealing with soon so I won't be back... but it doesn't hurt to have some kind of care for your guests.

What sorcery created that scampi dish? It's the best take on a shrimp scampi I've ever had in my life, not muddy or heavy whatsoever. What is that zest? Lime? Lemon? Magic?

Wanted to try this place, as it was recommended. Waited several minutes to get seated. Finally, I flagged down a server and asked how long the wait would be for a table. Server said "we have 3 servers and no host. We'll get to you when we can." Needless to say, my family left. When restaurants are struggling like this, I can almost guarantee shortcuts are taken in the kitchen that won't render the cleanest of things....i.e. dishes, food, etc.... Stay away until they get it together over there!

Loved this place! The food and drinks were fantastic, service was excellent and the ambiance was lively. We had the fried pickles, I had shrimp and grits with the smoked old fashioned. My son had a blt burger and we brought home the bayou shrimp scampi and beignets to my daughter. The price point was great for all that we got and the quality. We'll be back!

The location is central and pub-ish inside. The staff is great and friendly. The food is not good. The food was not seasoned and very basic. The drinks were good, I got a pearly there and saw a chocolate martini being made and it looked amazing. The beignets were a huge hit. The shrimp and eggs were filled with tomato sauce and not seasoned. My son didn’t like his chicken fingers either.

Not good. After waiting 20m for a table I find out there’s no orange juice or substitute. Then after ordering food they’ve no potatoes?!? They substituted them with fries which were horrible. It took too long and the food wasn’t good enough for the hassle.

its been a couple years since I had dined at the social house and what a difference a few years makes. I hear the owners are new and I must say, it’s 1000% times better than before! My sever was very friendly, my breakfast was so delicious, great portions, so much so that I wished I had a second stomach. I’ll be going back more often.
Friday night karaoke, great food, amazing drinks, and awesome servers, what more can you ask from a restaurant on the square? If you have not stopped by here lately, you may want to get in here and let them become one of your favorite Marietta Square hangouts!

It’s a small place. We went for Sunday brunch to celebrate a friends birthday. They were out of several items: biscuits, grits, potatoes, beignets, avocado, a dish on the menu. Our server was good and it wasn’t her fault but the food came out so sporadic it was ridiculous. There were 8 of us and 7 of us got our food and were done eating by the time they brought the last dish…and it was an omelette!! 2 people ordered a small salad to go with their meals but got them after their main dish. I didn’t think the food was that spectacular. At no point did the manager come over and apologize. Several servers were just standing by the food pick up window waiting. Someone in our party finally got up to see where the last dish was. It was a one and done, we won’t be going back.

Very disappointed with the lack of service today. We left after several minutes, due to not being tended to. The waitress passed our table without greeting us or asking if we wanted anything to drink. Spent several minutes at the only other table chatting and ignoring us. We were the only other table in the restaurant. This use to be one of our favorite places.

I just ordered the southern Benedict to go. 10/10 the best Benedict. Worth every penny. Service is always great. Also, try the beignets. The food here is so awesome now!

Exterior Located downtown Marietta / at the square. Parking can be tough at the square but we arrived super late, so there were no parking issues. Interior TINY. I think the restaurant might have 2 parts. Unsure because we didn't venture past the bar. Food We ordered the chicken quesadilla & fries. I asked and was excited to discover that fries are no longer hand cut. Our friendly server was super apologetic about the hand-cut fries but I assured him that I'd discovered it's too easy to ruin them and I was thrilled to discover that they were just regular, plain ole fries. I even asked - are they battered or seasoned or anything. He said no. So imagine my disappointment when nearly an hour later when the food arrived, I was presented with a plate of battered, seasoned french fries. :-( Sent them back. The chicken quesadilla was ok - but had very little chicken so it was not filling. I tried to order a flight of their sampler sized holiday cocktail. Server apologized & told me the flights weren't available on karaoke night. Um... ok... it's not indicated anywhere on the specialty menu DEDICATED to the holiday cocktails btw. I wound up ordering a full sized cocktail (just went with server's suggestion). It was excellent. I also had a shot of vodka because I wanted to relax QUICKLY. Price / Value We arrived a few minutes after 9pm and the kitchen had already closed so we were limited to a choice of chicken or beef quesadillas, brussel sprouts, French fries, Pickle chips, pimento cheese fritters or beer battered onion rings. I thought the chicken quesadilla was a little pricey when considering the rather sparse amount of chicken. Customer Service When I called earlier to inquire about karaoke for my buddy, the owner answered the phone. (I only found out he was the owner when I called back to ask another question - lol.) He was friendly, upbeat and energetic. I asked if they got a pretty big crowd and if the crowd was pretty diverse. He answered affirmative to both and had me really excited to check them out. He also told me that they also own South Cobb Diner. He said South Cobb Diner has karaoke on Thursdays and WR Social House has it on Fridays. Unfortunately, SCD cancelled their karaoke Thursday because the DJ was sick. The staff was warm & friendly - made us feel welcome. Other When we entered the establishment, we were a bit surprised at how small the place was, but that didn't dampen our enthusiasm. It was crowded and my buddy LOVES to perform so I was excited to see him have a chance to strut his stuff. The 'host' indicated a choice of two different spots & as I made my way to my seat, there was a young white chick with long hair blocking my way. She had her back to me, but the young black girl she was loudly talking to - was facing me. I said excuse me 3 separate times & she didn't seem to hear me. And her friend, who was making eye contact with me, did not seem inclined to tell her friend that someone was trying to get by. I finally had to tap her shoulder & she turned and scowled at me like she couldn't believe someone had the nerve to touch her. Then this idiot flipped her hair on me as I squeezed past her. And we are both 'big girls' so this was no easy feat. The entire night, we were subjected to this loud, obnoxious girl's @ss in my face as she danced the night away. Later, another patron fell off of her chair. No one laughed or made a big deal about it. Her group immediately helped her up and it was back to business as usual. Or so I thought. Well here comes a tall thin chick in a green sweater. She approaches the guy sitting at the table in front of us. She asks him if he recorded her friend falling off the chair and demands he erase the footage. He quietly & respectfully tells her that he wasn't recording. His girlfriend comes back from the restroom looking puzzled that a strange woman is talking to her bf. Green sweater explains to his gf that she wants to see his phone to make sure he's not lying abou
