Bitches Who BrunchMarch 7, 2017
The sweet potato pancakes at SoCo caught our eye and this outstanding dish stood on its own without syrup. We even found these hot cakes to be deserving of our Best Pancakes of 2016! Read more

Not your typical Eggs Benny, the Bourbon St. Eggs Benedict at Soco is composed of shrimp & crawfish cakes and poached eggs, nestled on mini bagels and topped with Old Bay Hollandaise! Read more

The mac and cheese is cheesy and velvety. A must try! The crawfish egg benedict was full of flavor. Def my new brunch spot in BK. The atmosphere is welcoming and they have an enclosed patio.

Amazing fried chicken and red velvet waffles and bottomless mimosas. Every time your glass of mimosa is less than full, someone comes by and refills it. Make reservations. This place gets busy.

I absolutely loved it here. A few take always however. Portions are very small and Although the live saxophone was lovely the music was just too loud.Food 10/10 Drinks 10/10 Service 10/10.

The Bitches Say: A. SoCo offers outstanding service, and even better brunch fare that is definitely worth the trip to Clinton Hill. The mac & cheese and sweet potato pancakes cannot be missed! Read more

I had the pulled pork sandwich, ptarmigan fries, mac and cheese, and a mojito all was great. I would recommend a reservation this place gets pack at opening but it's worth the wait.

Three words for you: red velvet waffle. And yes, it’s as delicious as it sounds. The Southern fusion hotspot on Myrtle really takes chicken and waffles to new heights with its offering. Read more

Everything about the service here was excellent. The host and our main waiter Rod were standouts. The food was really good and I would love to be back to try some of the other dishes.
Dustin LeeMarch 11, 2017
Mac & Cheese is as amazing as everyone says, possibly the best I've ever had. However the chicken and waffles are underwhelming...
Claudia CTApril 28, 2013
Red velvet waffles are actually really nice, but I enjoyed the grits better! Nice outdoor space, all sides enclosed so there is no wind! Great to enjoy the spring sun without feeling the breeze!
JenStar HiJanuary 10, 2014
The food here was really really good. I had the Mac and cheese, collared greens, corn bread, molasses short ribs and my hubby had the jambalaya. DELICIOUS.Our waiter was Robert aka Rob he was the best
Tracy P.March 29, 2015
Absolutely delicious. Had the F'que wings appetizer and the short ribs for my main. My dining companion had red velvet waffle and fried chicken. Everything was presented well.
Selena NelsonApril 23, 2017
I have been here twice and I absolutely loved it both times! The Buttermilk Chicken with Red Velvet Waffles is a MUST TRY! A+++
Michelle COctober 30, 2016
The mac and cheese was a hit with all four of my party. The waffle and chicken and cucumber cocktail were also well received. Apple cider marg and mango cocktail were just okay. Didn't like cornbread.
Caroline WhiteMarch 24, 2013
The food here is amazing, the decor is gorgeous & the waitstaff is friendly. BUT, they could be more attentive b/c it took 10 min to get menus even at the bar and,forgot that I ordered mac n cheese.

Red velvet waffles are crack! Great southern style cooking in the middle of Brooklyn! Great outing for a group of friends
Indulgent EatsJune 13, 2016
Delicious mac and cheese and fried chicken with red velvet waffles make this a solid brunch move, especially on a rainy summer day thanks to their covered backyard patio.
Shamira HamiltonJanuary 10, 2015
I had the jambalaya. Delicious. What I didn't like was how the go from heater to air conditioner. The air conditioning lasted longer than the heater. Other than that I always have a good time there.
Jesse BagelsNovember 9, 2014
Nouveau southern soul / cajun food that goes a bit too far in the creativity department, making the food less feel-good than it should be. The gumbo was classic and good however
AndreMay 14, 2014
The red velvet waffle + fried chicken was amazing. Great atmosphere. The food is made with great care and attention - something you don't find everywhere.
Tamara DotsonJanuary 18, 2016
The red velvet waffles and chicken was so delicious and the guy there playing the Violin was absolutely amazing !! ☺
StephanApril 7, 2017
This spot gets so crowed between 11am-3pm on Sunday but It's worth the wait. Not too noisy great drink specials fantastic time you'll have.

Awesome place. Good service and great food. What made me fall in love with this place was the music. The lobster, shrimp, and grits was awesome just wasn't enough food for me.
Stevie C.August 15, 2011
Try buttermilk chicken & red velvet waffles, shrimp & lobster grits and the mac & cheese!! Everything tastes amazing. Sangria, red lemonade & Georgia peach are awesome cocktails to compliment the food
Social Butterfly ZJune 15, 2012
The food came quickly. The Mac n Cheese was awesome. Collard greens salty. Blackened Salmon was decent, short ribs were very good. And for a virgin drink the Mardi Gras is on it!
Kathleen VargasSeptember 6, 2017
Best Mac and cheese hands down! And must I say their corn bread are amazing!!! Highly recommend

Great enviroment. Food was cool even though i think the dishes are a over priced. Never spent 20 dollars on chicken and waffles. Its a place to try but i wouldn't make it a regular spot of mine.
Rory ParnessJune 25, 2016
Come for the fried chicken but stay for the grits. Don't underestimate the sweet potato pancakes, though
Livy LivJanuary 16, 2016
The red velvet waffle and chicken is to die for, very nice place, very good music, nice waiters, one of my favorites
U NwoJanuary 4, 2014
The velvet chicken and waffles were awesome! The macaroni and cheese was off the chain! Will definitely go back!!! Hibiscus sweet tea was bomb.com
Isreal León @Mr.AlistDecember 23, 2013
The food here is GREAT!!! The staff is also very friendly HOWEVER the crowd has become very loud which to me is a no-no if you are trying to impress a date.

My fave watering hole. The 509 salad (caesar) and the gumbo and the wings and the mac n cheese and the cornbread and Brian the bartender. All wonderful.
NellMay 31, 2014
The Mac n Cheese is so good it could bring tears to your eyes. Red Velvet waffles and the Buttermilk dipped chicken is divine. #praisehim
