| - It's so funny because I almost left after seeing how empty it was at 1pm on a Saturday (never a good sign), but I'm so happy my friend convinced me to stay. The inside decor is very stylish and spacious, and we were happily seated on some comfortable benches (this is important as I find cramped restaurants and rickety chairs to put a damper on any dining experience).
Everything at this restaurant is under $20, and their menu items range between $14-$18 (mains). I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich with fries, and it was honestly one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The fried chicken was very large and generously brushed with buffalo sauce. The sandwich comes served with lettuce, tomato, and a blue cheese sauce/spread. The fries were thin and deliciously crispy. The entire plate came to $15, which is very well priced for the amount and quality of food you get.
On Saturdays, their drink special is $5 cocktails. I ordered the blackberry smash, as recommended by our waitress, but unfortunately was very disappointed in it. The drink was very bland and if I have to compare it, I would say it tasted like barely flavoured water (if you poured water into a glass that previously held juice then drank that, it'd taste similar to this "cocktail"). I don't think there was any alcohol in it at all, and it wasn't sweet or sour so I'm still confused what I paid $5 for (probably just water with three blackberries floating in it).
Luckily I very rarely base my reviews on their drinks, so I'm still going to give the Social Eatery a 5 star rating based on their service, food, and ambience. I will definitely be returning again, and if you plan on visiting in the future, please give the buffalo chicken sandwich a try!
