Socu Southern Kitchen Oyster Birmingham

Due to brunch running over, and the staff needed to re-group, the restaurant opened a little later than their re-open time. Our waitress was Phoenix was really sweet. Drinks and appetizers took a long time to arrive. I would like to eventually return and see how things are during normal circumstances.

Everything average but the cost. Two diners, almost $100.. tipped GENEROUSLY to support black-owned. Grateful for the experience but probably won't return. Suggest ithers to try for themselves. Their experience may be different.

Main issues were the lack of service when it came to checking on our table. Wish it was more consistent. Music was louder than expected. My friend had to return catfish and grits, wasn’t that great. Wish had more beverage choices .

I was looking forward to some oysters but I was told they were sold out. 85% of the menu was not available. The lamb chops were not seasoned and the mashed potatoes were cold. Our food sat under the light for 4 mins after waiting 30 mins for them to prepare it. I probably will not go back. The waitress was really nice and made adjustments when she could.

It was a nice environment. Definitely a vibe. The waffles need a little work, they had an odd taste, but overall everything was great!
