I just need to say again-I love this place. It is the best kept secret of Berkeley. We have come too many times to count and it is consistently delicous! The staff is so welcoming and accommodating. This last year we have brought out of towners that have been impressed with the great flavors this place has to offer. Tonight we snuck in before we have to cook for our family and again Bo and Ice(not that Ice!!!) rock! Keep it going!
Thank you!

Berkeley Social Club does not disappoint! The wings and bulgogi buns were delicious! The cesar salad was a generous portion and perfect.
Happy hour is a great break on the pocket book and service attentive.

Berkeley Social Club NEVER disappoints! We had been coming here for a couple of years and wanted a chill experience before Xmas. Bo, our server, was extraordinary! She was attentive and so friendly. We chatted about our mutual travel experiences and the great food we ordered — including the Korean wings and bulgogi buns. We will keep coming a k here again and again. Great value and excellent service right in downtown Berkeley!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I can see this place being popular around town, especially for tourists. It is a little overpriced (IMHO), but I do appreciate the good quality of food and how it looked aesthetically.

The dirty ube latte was the star of the show for sure. I wasn't a big fan of the millionaire's bacon because it was super rich and made my stomach hurt later, so I would probably get a different benedict next time. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area though!

We had the chicken and waffles and the California burger. We loved their fries 10/10 but the waffles were a bit rubbery and the chicken was a little dry (6/10). The burger itself was a solid 9/10. Great vibe, but I wish they focused a little more on food quality than presentation.

This place has literally been on my bookmarks for years now and I finally made my way here. We made reservations a few days in advance and had to change last min, they had plenty of open spots for reservations. The vibe is very Berkeley. Cool, non pretentious and just chill. We were seated promptly and our server approaching us within minutes with water. When you're dining with kids, these things matter.

Here're the dishes we order and their review:
Mimosa- 10/10 obvs
KFC & rice for the kids - 10/10 the chicken was nice, crispy and flavorful and they devoured it
Millionaire's bacon - 10/10 good portion thick cut 2 slices that's a bit spicy and tangy and sweet
Eggs in Purgatory - 9/10 sorta tastes like French onion soup with lots of onions, it's tangy, has bacon. It comes with 1 piece of bread. That's the only -1 point here. There's so much sauce and 1 piece of bread just doesn't cut it.
KFC Benedict - 9/10 chicken is great, flavors are great. The -1 point is for the hollandaise sauce which wasn't spread out or abundant enough :)

Definitely recommend it

Great experience. Good service. Food was delicious and they sat us with little wait time even though we got there 1 hour earlier than our reservation time.

This one came highly recommended. It’s not that there was anything wrong, it just was not amazing as expected. Service wasn’t great. We had to wave down people a few times to get water refills.

Stopped by Berkeley Social for a morning treat while working from home. Loved the dirty chai and the crab Benedict was fresh and flavorful. Cozy spot with a relaxed vibe, great for grabbing breakfast and getting some work done.

I’ve been here a few times and it’s been a good experience each time. I had the omurice for the first time and it was very tasty.

Solid place in Berkeley for brunch!
I got their Brussels hash with toast, and it was super delicious! I'd definitely recommend it to those who prefer something savory over sweet.
A lot of my friends ordered their pancakes and it looked super great as well! I do recommend going with a smaller party though since we went with a group of 6 and it took a while for all of us to get our food and drinks.

I googled the site and decided I couldn't afford $30. for breakfast! That seemed to be what I'd be paying for a meal just for myself. No way, Jose!
