Our first time here. Prices were high for what we received. We don’t mind paying if the food is good, but unfortunately, we were definitely not impressed. Brisket was extremely fatty and not to my taste. Had a taste of a chemical smoke rather than true smoking. My husband got the smoked turkey sandwich with 2 very small slices of turkey. Not much meat for sure. My husband enjoyed the sides of Mac and cheese and potatoe salad, I did not. We had hoped we would enjoy, but we did not.

I got a three meat plate, brisket, pulled pork, and burnt ends. Everything was 9.5/10 except the brisket. I would order the pulled pork and bunt ends by the pound, but the brisket was pretty dry. Ill have to try it again and see if it was a fluke. Potato salad is great, so is the Mac and cheese and pimento cheese. Definitely will be back.

If you’re a fan of real-deal barbecue, Social Q Smokehouse is an absolute must-visit. Their brisket is nothing short of amazing—tender, flavorful, and smoked to perfection with just the right amount of bark. The slaw and potato salad are excellent sides, clearly made fresh and seasoned just right to complement the rich flavors of the meat. The outdoor seating area is a great touch, offering a laid-back and comfortable spot to enjoy your meal. It’s the perfect place to soak up a sunny afternoon with great food and good company. Another big plus: they cater! Whether you're planning a small gathering or a larger event, Social Q has you covered with the same quality and flavor you get in-house. Top-notch food, friendly service, and a great atmosphere—Social Q Smokehouse delivers on every le

That's was very good too. Sorry I didn't get pictures of everything we ate most everything before I thought to grab pictures.
