The catfish was salty, the cabbage was also salty. Food overall was not good as it had been in the past. The menu was limited and some items were not available. There were a pair of shoes near the male restroom. The food and service doesn't match the amount they are charging.

My husband and I visited Socu for the first time in 2022 and were blown away! This visit did not live up to that experience, but it won’t keep us away. The menu was extremely limited and prices were much higher. Hoping this was just a limited time situation and that they’re able to return to the full, delicious menu they had before.

Great food, worth the wait. I think it was understaffed because the food took a while but when it got there it was worth it, fresh and delicious

My first time being there I had a bad experience my food was cold and it took about 45 mins after I sat down for my food after I order, and it took 30 mins before my drink to come out. The restaurant didn’t have a lot of customers dining it. I drove a hour just to eat there and I regret it. I was so disappointed although the waiter Ms. Monica was great.

I went in expecting amazing seafood, and received anything but. The dinner menu was pared down, which was not a great sign, and the only great seafood dishes were "Shrimp and Grits" and the catfish with two sides. The drinks were ok, if not a bit weak. The best advice I can give to this place is to 'find your focus.' If you want to be a 'seafood place' work on that harder and give me great seafood. If you want to be more "Southern Kitchen" then for the LOVE OF GOD, LOWER YOUR PRICES. Overall, evening was 6/10. If the meal was like $60 cheaper then the evening would have been 8/10. There is nothing that this place does that justifies the cost, and I'll be adding the receipt from this place to my 'charitable donations' on my taxes.

Brunch was amazing for Mother's Day. The catfish and grits was spectacular and the shrimp and grits were delicious. That crawfish cream sauce makes those dishes. The chargrilled oysters were tasty and light.
