The Social - Severna Park, Maryland

The service was great! It was hard to tell who my actual Server was because so many ppl came to my table asking if I needed anything. Perhaps that was part of a Social experiment LOL... idk.
I had an Apple Cider adult drink that was very good. The BBQ Shrimp and Grits w/ Spinach were a delicious surprise! Could use a little less sauce but good flavor and the grits maintained a good consistency. The Apple Cider Cheesecake was not good at all... but they made up for it with the Pumpkin Bread Pudding. If I may suggest, don't get the cream cheese icing, it's tasteless. Try the Pumpkin Bread Pudding with a drizzle of caramel, a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, or a drizzling of powdered sugar icing. Overall, The Social offered a welcoming environment with great service and good food. I will visit again!

My fiancé and I shared the Crab dip which was good but overpriced for how little they gave us. He got the Baltimorean and I got the Shrimp Salad Sandwich, which were both very good but on the pricey side. I also got a $5 orange crush because it was happy hour so that was nice. All in all a cute spot with nice vibes and good music, good food but a bit on the pricey side. Their food menu was smaller than the drink menu, they should really be labeled as a bar but they also have a kids menu so that was kinda weird. Probably won't go back unless it's a special occasion because the prices but we had a good time and enjoyed our food

Robbed at Fork Point with a fantastic local craft beer.

Modern decor and pleasant hostess! See the pictures.

I feel like I just got robbed at fork point at The Social. I should have heeded the many warning sign’s

The Warning signs:

1.) Venue: the end of the strip mall. You just can’t put lipstick on a pig.

2.) Pigeon poops greets you upon arrival.. check out the pictures. Bird guano adores the faux portico at the entrance.

3.) Empty at 6pm on a Saturday evening.

4.) debris and dirt on the floor. The place was not clean. Ahh, see the picture because it is hard to believe.

The Food: cheap, rip off, over priced and they use a bait and switch for foreign food sources. Ask questions!

Highly suspicious food sources -

I confirmed this restaurant uses foreign seafood like shrimp from places like India and China for shrimp salad and shrimp tacos.

It does use the Texas shrimp for only one dish and it uses the those shrimp sparingly with a substantial up-charge of 40-50 percent!! They initially led me to believe the shrimp was from Texas, after further questioning, it was confirmed to be foreign by the kitchen staff.

If they mislead on the shrimp then I imagine they mislead on everything.

I decided to order the Buffalo Chicken Flat bread thinking it was the safest choice. It sounded wonderful. But what I got was a small piece of toasted flatbread with a smidgen of a buffalo sauce and tiny chicken chunks covering about 60% of the small flatbread at $18! The tiny chicken chunks made me think of the pigeons at the front door. I get more chicken and better tasting chicken at the fast food chicken place. It was a big disappointment!! I ended up using ketchup on the flatbread to compensate for the lack of flavor.

My son got the pulled pork sandwich he liked the pork. However, the French fries were extremely salty and horrible.

The good news was the local crafted beer!

I spent about $100 for a $20 meals in a dirty dive. I still tipped the waiter very well. He did his job and I certainly do not blame him.

However, I felt robbed at fork point.

Very nice place. The food is good. We've had some amazing meals and others are just okay. The salmon they use on salads has had a fishy bloodline but the salads are great. I had a wonderful pork tenderloin special dish the first time we visited that was excellent.

Food, service, atmosphere were lovely, it was a Tuesday on kids eat free night though so I can’t say I got the full experience. I ate the crab risotto and the Brazilian rum runner. Super yummy! The ladies at work were talking about this place so I had to try it.

Very fast and excellent service at The Social. The food was pretty good, but a bit expensive. My stepmother had the shrimp and grits, which she liked, but again, thought they were a bit expensive. I tried a brisket and polenta dish, which was a combination that did not work too well for me. My wife and dad had the double cheeseburger, which they thought was decent. You can order the quarter pound burger as a single, double, triple or QUAD! On a return trip, I would like to try a sandwich or the tacos.

- Very clean & spacious atmosphere.
- Creative selections of food and beverage.
- Fast & courteous service & staff.

We shared the charcuterie board (which was amazing!) It was the perfect portion for sharing and had a great selection of elements. I topped a garlic toast round with aged white cheddar & salami and dipped it in the hot honey (omg!)

I had the Seasonal Sangria and the Shrimp Taco Trio. It initially looked small but it was satisfying and had quality ingredients. My friend had the Poke Salad and a Blackberry Smash and couldn't have been happier.

We didn't make it to dessert, but that will be next time for sure. There will ABSOLUTELY be a "next time"! So0o0o0o good!

Went for dinner and had a nice first experience. We were seated at a table for two but didn't want to be in the bar area and the hostess was nice enough to move us to another location. The waitress was friendly and answered all of our questions. We even had a nice visit from the manager (I believe) who let us know the secret to their key lime pie. The parking lot has plenty of space but it's a little hard to see from the road if you're driving south on Ritchie Hwy. Google maps will get you there just fine.
