Southern Social Eatery

So Forney is where we were at for my middle ones cheer competition. We got out a little late and were hungry, I wanted to try something in the area and found Southern Social Eatery. The menu looked good so we all agreed to go.So upon arrival I was a bit confused, I'm not from forney and am only familiar with some areas. It appears to be a community college and a theaters when you first arrive and that's what confused me. There were not that many cars and the place was called The OC. So we went to where there were people and it gave me a Legacy Hall vibe. If you are familiar with legacy hall it's just variety of eating establishments and bars. While this one had no bars it did have a couple of food choices that were actually closed. But luckily the southern social was open. I ordered the chicken sandwich, my wife ordered the wings I believe hot lemon pepper and my middle one got the burger. So the food did not disappoint at all, I had no complaint of any of the food we ate. The burger was homemade and delicious the sandwich was spicy with a hint of sweetness and the fries had great seasoning on it. Price is somewhat decent but portions are pretty good size. Overall great place staff was very nice, food was excellent and we ham no issues with sitting but there is limited tables just scattered and bar like tops as well to sit on. The place apparently closed down from a different location and reopened here at the OC.

I have seen SSE pop up on food delivery apps a few times so I was confused when I saw they were "closed" according to Yelp; called them, emailed yelp and quickly got to ordering because I was hankering for some COMFORT FOOD. Lemme just say right now if you want flavor, crunch, classic soul food type vibe then I certainly recommend the pork chops with mac and cheese. I appreciate the max being in a little tin because it made it easy to pop into my air fryer and pull out a bubbling bowl of gluttony lol... four cheese and not-soggy elbow macaroni. I had to force myself to save a bite for my partner to try when they get home. The pork chops are substantial, well, but not over seasoned and comeWith a nice pickled okra that made me want more okra! I tasted the black eyed peas and corn cake and let's just say I am looking forward to trying more next time. Hopefully the menu expands to include a side sampler or easier ways to order more sides without having to get full orders if you want variety. Very pleased with dinner thank you!

My family was in the area and we were hungry and came across this gem. There hot lemon pepper wings were really flavorful and there hamburgers were huge definitely homemade had the onions inside and it was so delicious as were there seasoned fries. Service was quick and they let us know it would be more of a wait for the burger which we were fine with. When we are in the area we will be back to check out there other options

We ordered the chicken wings (honey hot flavor) and mac and cheese togo. Service was fast and courteous. The mac and cheese was a nice size portion a little bit greasy but it was overall good. The honey hot flavor wings were a little bit too sweet I wish I had ordered the side of ranch.

First order for me , I step to the plate HOME RUN James the dasher dropped off my meal while it was still warm. The seafood loaded potato was huge unlike my disappointment see the tiny sweet potato pie which was over $8 . The seafood loaded potato is loaded with shrimp tails attached . I have no issue with that it's eaten too there is no special treatment around here . The potato also has crab , lobster , green onion , and cheese that just oozes and stretches like a triple jumper track star . The seafood loaded potato I felt like it weighs at least 2 pounds . The sweet potato pie is flaky with just enough sweetness Too bad it wasn't larger just a tease . Both items are scrumptious if I can say so as a Louisiana native born and raised . I have been living in the Dallas Fort- Worth area since January 2000 after separating honorably from the Navy. I will always claim Louisiana as my home .

Happy to see them back up and running!Southern Social has a new location inside of the all new amazing OC.....Opportunity Central in Forney, TX. OC is a multi-plex building filled with eateries, shops, work spaces, a coffee shop and a basketball court. Really nice building!The staff at Southern Social is friendly and had patience while I decided what I wanted and sampled all the kool aid and tea. Food Review:Parmesan Wings - seasoned grilled wings with a wet Parmesan cheese sauce doused on top. The wings weren't fully coated in the sauce and had more of a grill flavor. They were ok! I wouldn't pass up Wing Stop to get to them.Seafood Baked Potato - stuffed with gumbo style seafood; shrimp, lobster, crabmeat, piled high on top of a baked potato. Be sure to mix the topping well with the potato, because it could be a little salty. Wonder if they can add extra sauce on the side? mmmm it could use a little more sauce. It was good!Suicide Tea Laid - I mixed the Blue Raspberry and Strawberry Koolaid and Sweet Tea together, to make a super sweet, refreshing, lip smacking drink. Got home, added water and turned my 1 drink into 3. Call your dentist before you sip.Overall the food was good and the place is nice. I'd return.

The food was amazing!!!! We were a little disappointed that it was not a traditional sit-down restaurant, just a walk up window inside of this beautiful building. The staff was super duper nice and helpful.. my husband and I will be back!!!!

The food is always top notch! They're located in the OC and have students working there. The teenagers are always pleasant and welcoming.

This does not look like the restaurant in the pictures. More like a food court...that being said, the food was amazing! We had pork chops, burgers, seafood baked potato and chicken fingers. Everything tasted great and the portions were large.

This place is a must try if you enjoy fresh and seasoned southern food. Catfish is always amazing and yes, it's real catfish. This restaurant is a must try and food is always good and consistent.
