    Garlic noodles

    Service is friendly and food is yummy! It's never over crowded and price is pretty ok for seafood boil it is seafood so it's not cheap.. definitely one of my families choices of seafood boil places to go to.

    We've been to so many different places that do this same thing of seafood cooked in a bag with butter and spices. They are all good. So I was happy to come to this one. As I waited for our food to come I already noticed one difference. The service here was top notch. Not just attentive but just a 100% nice person. Our appetizer of a dozen oysters on the half shell were very fresh and well shucked. We all ordered the same combo that came with head on shrimp and snow crab with potatoes and corn. We just varied on the seasonings that went into our bags. My brother got the cali-Cajun, my hubby got the lemon pepper Cajun and I got the garlic butter with lemon pepper. I have to say that mine was better than any other that I have ever had before. The atmosphere is very fun and casual. There are lots of cute nautical and pirate furnishings and there was a Zoltar machine there. For those who don't remember that is the machine that the little boy used to wish to become bigger in the Tom Hanks movie "Big". I will definitely make this a must go when I am in Arizona.

    Absolutely delicious! The service was a bit slower than I would've liked & the servers could be a little more attentive, but the specials they offer balanced that out in my opinion. The perfect seafood boil for a steal + it comes with ice cream & their military offer is a free drink!! Where do they do that at? Apparently LA crab shack & I'll definitely be back.

    After a long week we need some good food!

    Our food was great, we came right before rush hour! The service was amazing. Loved the energy here. Can't wait to come back.

    Everything was great here, I would say if you go to angry crab and read some of the reviews, I wouldn't say this place is better but I wouldn't say it's worse. They both have their unique taste and both are actually really good. To me angry crab sauce is a littler more runny and here the sauce is thicker like a rue. It is tasty but you can't compare it to the trifecta because it's a different taste: it is still very good, the medium heat to me felt like a low heat at angry crab so if you like stuff spicy definitely do the hot here. The service was great and the staff really took care of us. The restroom was clean and drinks were good. The only reason why I am giving them a 4 instead of a 5 is the shrimp was very over cooked. Other than that this place is very good.

    Soooo so good! Seasond so perfectly. Their special was a fantastic price. I enjoyed the meal very much. The hush puppies are tasty but they really need to do these bigger. Service was great too!

    Dozen oysters. So good and so fresh

    We were in Glendale for spring training and looking for a place for dinner. The menu looked good…read morehere, so we decided to check it out. When we arrived, we were told the wait was one hour and decided to go to the bar to start. BEST DECISION EVER! The absolute best service ever! Marissa and the other bartender (I didn't get her name, but sweet and awesome!) They took such good care of us, we will definitely come back next year. Menu recommendations: the beer battered cheese curds, brownie and creme brûlée deserts. The entrees and drinks we ordered were off a seasonal menu, but I'm sure the regular menu is similarly great. Make sure you get the cheese curds though! Chef's kiss

    Disappointed. My husband and I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now. We came on…read moreSaturday just after 4pm and brought our kids (9,12). Downstairs host was nice, asked if we wanted to eat upstairs or down. We decided upstairs. They just told us to head up and talk with the host. We went up. Someone from the bar did shout hi! There was no host seen. There was a handful of workers chatting at the bar even the downstairs host came up and walked by us to join the group chatting. Upstairs had 2 tables of 6-10 people, a handful of small parties outside. We stood there for 4-5 minutes before someone in a St. Patrick's day outfit running food said someone would be with us shortly. Waited another few minutes before the host emerged from the bathroom and sat us. Both my husband and I waited tables and I bartended before (10 years experience). We have a lot of patience and understanding. We were sat and not immediately greeted but a woman came up and quickly dropped water off. Her body language was dismissive and only said just "dropping off water". I really thought it might have been another host or busser, that was tired of getting mistaken for a sever. I brushed it off. We waited so much longer before our server (happened to be the same girl that dropped off the water) came back to take our drink order. She was cold and didn't make eye contact. She was very short with us. Left to put the drink order in. She did bring the kids their soft drinks, but again with an attitude. It was as if we were ruining her day by coming in. 10 min went by. In that time, we saw her walk by and again avoid eye contact. Not even a "your bar drinks are being made", or "I am just going to run these dishes back and come back to take your order. " A really nice bartender came back and started talking with us about baseball because we were coming from a spring training game. After waiting longer and still no sign our server was going to come back in a timely manner, I told my husband, that I would rather leave now and not let this server ruin our experience. There are plenty of places around that I would rather give my money too and they will treat us better. We left, on our way out we did let a manager know. They did apologized and asked where we were sitting. Two stars for the nice female bartender that was decked out in St. Patrick's day attire upstairs. Rating is strictly for service because we didn't get to try anything. I am willing to give this place another try. I will update my review if we do.

Don't let the exterior fool you into thinking it is a fancy/expensive restaurant. Inside, the service and the vibe is like a neighborhood hangout. They have a great patio with cornhole and other activities for groups/families. The patio is also dog friendly. The FOOD!! We came by for brunch one weekend and had the best chicken fried steak I think I've ever had. They call it cajun style but it was not spicy...maybe a little smokey flavor to the gravy. We also had the build your own mimosa. It was fantastic. One evening we had a burger. It was so big that we were able to split it. It was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The fries were amazing too. The first time we came by The Social it was for a late night drink on my birthday. I got one of the dessert martinis and it was so good! We've also had wine, and a delicious seasonal sangria. The service has always been prompt and friendly. It feels like the staff all like each other, and like their guests. The bar area is fun and welcoming. If you have not tried this place, you should!!

While not a large dining experience, there are several different eating space options including a dog friendly patio. One of the quirks of S83 is the amount of live, and advertised, music. This can be loud after reverberating off the patio but the play list while we were there had everyone signing along and playing cornhole. Our server was also great with a lot of our requests and questions about the menu. We landed on Wagyu Social Burgers and White Cod Fish Tacos for the win. Tip: pay the $4 for an extra taco they are worth it. Also on the menu is a diverse drink menu with craft cocktails and a Brunch option with lots of breakfast staples. At the End of the Day the Happy Hour, live music / DJ, and menu offer up a great experience that makes repeat visits worth the drive to the Arrowhead area.
