The menu online did not match the restaurant menu so my friends and I were thrown off. The waitress had no information about the whiskey or bourbon tasting and had to consult with the bartender. If you have the whiskey tasting online, waitress should know that information. They did not have the pork shoulder or ribs so we only ordered chicken wings and fried pickles, As we're eating the chicken wings, I guess it was more important to cook the staffs meal so they can have a date while on the clock. I think the restaurant manager wearing a grey long sleeve and the waitress had their food cooked first cause then after our pickles came maybe about 10 to 15 mins after the chicken wings. The staff had their burgers and salad before us and had a cute little table set up and shut the grey curtain as if we couldn't see thru it. Terrible service and food all around. Do not recommend.

the service was great, they only had 3 tables including ours in the restaurant and they forgot to put in our appetizers. I'm not sure if they didn't have the items. or simply forgot. Because we got our entrees first. one of my team members ordered the tri-tip sandwich & they didn't have the right break as listed on their menu. my Santa Maria tri-tip was cold.

I made the reservation. I got a text the day before asking me to confirm, which I did. We showed up on time and the place wasn't even open and the phone number was disconnected

We started with 2 small plates to share. Crab cakes were good, a bit small, the mango salsa really tied it together. Smoked wings were the best. He got the pulled pork, it was dry and a bit too fatty. Seems it was put on the flat top to reheat but became dry and crunchy. The mashed potatoes were almost cold, the greens good. We loved the gold sauce. I ordered the Santa Maria tri tip, it was overcooked and lacked seasoning. It needed the corn succotash and Pico de Gallo to bring much needed moisture and flavor to the meat. The Pinto beans were odd tasting, not quite sure what was used to season them. Maybe we will try them again once they've "gotten used to the new menu." The cocktail could've used more jalapeño to counteract the sweetness

Great service. Nicest waitress we have ever had. Beans could use a lil work but other than that the food was insanely good and the portions were huge.

This restaurant was recommended by a friend. I'm glad I went for my last lunch of my San Francisco week-long business trip. I went there for the BBQ and wasn't disappointed. Only regret was that I couldn't finish my plate, but that wasn't because of the food. It was delicious (had the brisket and rib plate)! The menu has a lot of other options if you don't feel like a meatfest. The staff was helpful too. Would love to go back next time I'm in town.

We arrived before our reservation. Waited at the bar for a while until they brought us to our table. No one told us we could order from the app, so we waited for menus. Then we needed to wait for the waitress to answer questions about the menu. Main course came out before the appetizers. In fact, the appetizers were not even put into the system! They had no more wings on the appetizer menu and told us after we ordered, as well as the ribs on the main menu that they told us again AFTER we ordered. Overall, the food was tasty, but not Hot. Service was slow and sloppy. Almost seemed like they had JUST opened for service that week.

Nneed more staff working with the amount of people that came in. Food was good but they ran out of brisket before 5:30, they had a large party of 25+ and I'm assuming they had it set aside for them.

They forgot to enter our order. Ended up taking 60+ minutes. They comped our food but pretty pathetic.

Food was amazing. We went for the 4 meat platter. And the meats where perfectly coked and melt in the mouth. If we lived in san fran this would become our regular :)
This was our first time at Social 303. Our server and the person he was training was wonderful. Food was good and very unique. A nice touch, because it was Valentine's Day, we received a glass of Prosecco on the house. I did order a cocktail with bourbon, grapefruit and walnut bitters, it was well balanced and delicious. We will be back.

First of all, let me start by saying they are so nice in there. The food was excellent. I had pork and it was just perfect. This isn't the first time I've eaten here but it is the first time I brought customers here. I can't wait to go back!

My office held a 10–15-person happy hour on a Thursday night. As usual, Social 303 was very accommodating. The food was delicious, and the happy hour prices ($5) are a great value. The drinks however were not so great. I'd attended several happy hours at this location before and the drinks were fine, so I think this was an off night. Folks were given the wrong drink, and some of the drinks were unrecognizable by taste as well as being placed in too big glasses and filled halfway up causing the drinker to have to dig down in the glass to get the straw/cherry stick and fruit out. Overall, a great place for a large happy hour crowd with good affordable food. Drinks happen to be off but hopefully it was just an off night because I anticipate more happy hours there.

We had trouble finding the place because it doesn't mention “Smokehouse” anywhere. We had to call them to find out where they were. They should put “Smokehouse” on the front.

They ran out of brisket which made me sad. I'm a native of the south and hadn't seen authentic Alabama white BBQ sauce in 20 years. That was a major win for the restaurant.
