Social House Kitchen & Tap

Amazing food and great to sit and socialize which suits the name perfectly. Also one of the only restaurants around that actually had a moscato wine on the menu

Standard American type food good for watching sports games. Good happy hour prices and pretty decent food.

On January 3, for his last meal in Virginia before returning to Florida, I took my adult son to Social House for lunch. He'd wanted to go there for the past year or so during visits here but we'd never managed to get there. On this visit, we finally did go. I certainly don't want to disparage a local business, and I'm sure there were many satisfied customers that day. Indeed, there was a very large party (12 or so) seated at a long table near us, so perhaps that affected our service negatively; nonetheless, our appetizer was very late in appearing (15-20 minutes) and we had to inquire twice about it. Finally the hostess brought it. We finished the appetizer and waited again, 30 minutes--we noticed the time-from when we finished the appetizer until our server returned to tell us that regretfully our order had been "lost." So, he took our order again and resubmitted it. He did apologize a lot, and we were understanding, didn't complain at all, were very polite, and left him a more than adequate tip in the end. The management did comp our appetizer which was very nice, and much appreciated; however, money was not the issue, time was. I'm sure this was an anomalous event and not the usual kind of service that one would expect at Social House. It's just that it was the first time either I (a resident of South Riding) or my son had ever been there, so we were disappointed. It was not a particularly pleasant lunch which, to make this very long story short, is why I rated it 3 stars. Had you not asked, I wouldn't have said anything because truly, I don't like to criticize local restaurants. You have enough problems as it is, so please don't think I'm trying to harm your business. I wish you much success in the future.

I don’t know why people keep leaving bad reviews because every experience I’ve had at this place has been great.

The staff are nice and work hard.
The food is wonderful and they have plenty of vegetarian options (and even some vegan).
I am consistently impressed by the cocktails and very happy with the variety of beer and cider.

I meet friends here all the time and have never really had to wait more than 15-20 minutes for a table.

Keep it up. Don’t let these few bad reviews get you down. Some people are a little picky in this town.

The only thing I’d like is lower prices, but we live in Nova. It’s just the cost of business.
