SOCU Southern Kitchen and Oyster Bar

This place has a beautiful and elegant vibe when you walk in with some posh seating and warm tones.
They let you pick where you want to sit and you download the menu on your phone.
We were greeted with warm smiles and our waitress was Angel and she lived up to her name and was very knowledgeable about the menu and local things to do! We ordered the southern breakfast with conecuh sausage and red potatoes with scrambled egg… followed with the fluffiest biscuit we ever ate! We did the fried chicken and waffle so we could share everything we could sample.
The chicken we could really taste the perfect scald and seasoned to perfection.
Going to have to go back for a plate next week! The waffle was fluffy and melted in your mouth.
This is a Southern Gem Secret y’all so may have to make a reservation in the future once everyone finds out about it!

My Gawd this food was amazing.
We ordered the hot honey chicken wings, shrimp and grits, fried pork chop, Mac and cheese, YAMS, peach cobbler cheesecake.
EVERYTHING was a home run.
Service felt like I was with family.
Atmosphere was a vibe too! Absolutely give it a try.

Owner response

I absolutely love supporting a Black-owned business, especially when the food is immaculate and upscale.
Our server Monica was fantastic and recommended all the best things on the menu.
I would trust her with my life.
The building is an old dive bar music venue they’ve really brought back to life and made like new.
I really enjoyed everything from the oysters to the dessert.
It’s pricy but worth it.
I’m happy to see incredible soul food priced appropriately.
I’ll be back very soon.
