The Social Downingtown

Decided to try this southern kitchen out since I’m a southern girl from Mississippi. The food was absolutely amazing. I had the shrimp and grits and they were full of flavor. Tasted just like I was down in the delta. My husband had the pulled pork and it was really good as well. Now the gumbo is another story. I knew better before I went that the gumbo was going to be brown gravy served with rice and that’s exactly what I got. I despise places that say they have gumbo and serve you brown gravy with rice. I’m willing to over look the gumbo because everything else was amazing. Just fyi you can ONLY get authentic gumbo from down south, that’s not up for debate. Argue with ya mama not me!!! I absolutely recommend this place. Shrimp and grit are a must try.

I visited The Social Downingtown yesterday with a friend and it was an absolutely exceptional experience from start to finish. If you are looking for high quality food and a welcoming atmosphere, this is the place. I ordered the Seafood Jambalaya and it was phenomenal. It was perfectly seasoned, fresh and exactly the kind of bold hot flavor I was looking for. We followed it up with the cheesecake which was outstanding. Even the coffee was excellent. Clearly they do not cut corners on the small details here. A huge shoutout to our waitress Layla. She was phenomenal. She was attentive, professional and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout the meal. It is rare to find that perfect balance of great service and top tier food but The Social nails it. 5 stars all the way. I will definitely

The Social Downingtown has a beautiful interior. The garden vegetable pasta was absolutely delicious and creative. The pistachio fried chicken was cooked to perfection and I highly recommend it! We also ordered blackened Scottish salmon which was nicely seared and flavorful. The Vermont burger had a great cook on it and the fries were fried amazingly. I can not wait to return. The service was impeccable. I love a restaurant that has unique dishes.

We really enjoyed the food served here! The atmosphere is comfortable and family friendly. The menu is diverse and excitable which can make it difficult to decide what to get, but also amazing becuase you’ll want to go back multiple times. Whoever is in that kitchen is putting this establishment on their back & on the map! I love it. 🤩

An interesting place located in what used to be bar. The Social kind of looks like a bar on the outside still, but is quite a cozy restaurant on the inside (still has a cool bar) with a Cajun vibe and good music. I would recommend this restaurant. The drinks and beer are good. They have a great beer selection and an interesting cocktail menu for dinner drinks.
