We made reservations here for 4 people for Mother's Day. We were able to come in a few minutes before our time and were seated right away. The waiter was nice but the service was very hit/miss because sometimes we had to wait for him or try to find him but it usually didn't take long. He also had a difficult time figuring out how to split the 4-person tab into 2 couples. Hopefully he was new and this helped him learn. The music was very loud, more like closer to club level than restaurant level, which made it difficult for me to hear most of the time. I am not a true seafood lover as there are very few seafood items I eat but needless to say my husband couldn't say enough positive things about the catfish and grits and the other couple we were with absolutely loved that they got their calypso sauce on the side because then they got to enjoy the flavor and crispiness of the fish. The one crabcake on the Chesapeake Crabcake meal was very flavorful and I enjoyed it. Their food was very good. The prices weren't too bad but you also got a lot of food for the price. We had leftovers which was nice! read more

This is the first time I have been since the change to a seafood spot, and I was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance was comforting, but I will stay that they were understaffed. We had a large party, so I had the anticipation that the service might be delayed, however it wasn't too bad. The seafood and grits were DELICIOUS! We ordered all of the favorites, and high were flavorful however the lamb chops were a disappointment. I ordered it to be served medium but even with a reorder, it was still well done. Drinks were as expected, nothing to write home about however I would visit again. Maybe for a happy hour timeframe. read more

It's been some time since I've visited Society! This is still a DMV staple! I recently came for happy hour. It was a Monday so it wasn't super packed but I'm sure other days it's not like that. Chris and Jazz provided great service at the bar on the first floor. I enjoyed the lemon drop martini and the caribbean rolls! I really hadn't been in this area in awhile because navigating the road closures and detours due to the purple line construction was hectic. Outside of that it was nice to come cab to familiar territory! read more

Brunching is a part of my life. Everywhere I go regardless of the State or Country - I will be looking for a brunch spot. The Society Restaurant and Lounge was listed as a brunch buffet but they no longer have a buffet, which was great for me. When you walk in the ambiance was a nice relaxing vibe. We had an awesome waiter (Christopher). The food was excellent - top notch. We ordered the society shrimp, caribbean rolls, fried chicken, mac & cheese, rice & peas and lamb chops. I felt overwhelmed with all of this great food but I enjoyed every bit of it. We sampled the mimosas and it was just average so we ordered a carafe of rum punch. The rum punch was a hit. A perfect blend of juices and rum. After brunch we went upstairs to their rooftop brunch party with a live DJ. We danced and danced and had more drinks. It was an awesome brunch and brunch party. The only downside is the restroom is on the first floor. So you have to walk down to go back up but it's worth it. This is definitely a place you need to check out for yourself. Next time I am in Maryland I will be back. read more

I came to the Society with a coworker on a Friday night. I was greeted by a hostess who I informed that I was waiting for them to arrive. I was told about the 90-minute dining limit, and asked how flexible that was. She said she could be lenient and start it once our food arrived. I was surprised because the restaurant was nowhere near busy. The booth seats are in TERRIBLE condition. They have stains and rips throughout the booths, and we had to switch locations because she didn't feel comfortable sitting where we were first located with shorts on. I ordered a mango margarita, and I didn't find out until we received a bill that there was an upcharge for the flavor (even though it's listed as a flavor you can pick on the menu.) The drink was good, though. My coworker ordered the catfish sandwich, which she had to send back because the fries were cold and undercooked, and the fish didn't taste good. The society shrimp was tasty with the sweet and spicy sauce, and the shrimp were decently sized. I ordered the calypso red snapper, and Tangy calypso sauce paired well with it. The rice was very underseasoned, and the cabbage was edible. I won't be coming back here, and I can't recommend that people do either. They don't care enough about their appearance or the food they serve. Oh yeah, the 20% fair wage fee is applied as well. read more

Wifey and I went out for a date night and this was our first time here. Found this place on instagram and the food was delicious. The host and service were great. The vibe and music was chill as they were playing some throwback R&B. We both ate all are good, it was that good. read more

Just stopped by after the renovations to the kitchen and the bottom place seems nice, not too different from before but more modern and the bartenders and people there were nice as usual, but now they've instituted a 20% "service fee" which in turn changed my 40 dollar bill to a 54 dollar bill after taxes .....for 2 drinks and a shot!!!! Definitely wished I saw some signage for that. I'm used to this place having some pretty expensive drinks prices , but that's too much. read more

The vibes and staff here were excellent! It's a great place to come hangout for brunch and to meet up with friends, which is what we did. The shrimp appetizer was presented well and perfectly cooked, but it was salty. My whole red snapper was pretty good but it needed much more of a crisp to it--I'm not into soggy fish skin. Everything else was good. My partner LOVED his oxtails and grits and just kept talking about how innovative it was and how he wants to eat it again lol so definitely a fan read more

If this review was only for the vibes then it would be 5 stars but unfortunately we had dinner there and the service was lacking. This is a minimal decorated restaurant and lounge with an odd arrangement of tables. Our group of 8 ordered apps, drinks and mains. For the starters we had wings (jerk and grand Mainer), shrimp tacos, and society shrimp. One of the wing orders was forgotten and took 20 minutes more to come. The starters were good and well seasoned. While we were eating the mains sporadically came out - snapper, Cajun pasta, shrimp and salmon tacos, salmon, and curry lobster and shrimp. 2 mains were forgotten and took an additional 20minutes to come out. Drinks were missing, I personally did not receive my drink until halfway through my main entree (1.5 hours later). Of the entrees, the Cajun pasta was the favorite. The lobster was awful - salty and mushy. The snapper was over cooked and dry. In summary service on a Friday night was terrible and the 20% service tip was automatically included so there was no incentive there to provide adequate service. They offered a round of shots but our entire party doest drink and honestly it was sugar water more than alcohol. Maybe this was an off night or maybe it's only decent for drinks and starters but otherwise skip. read more

Service We arrived just five minutes before the end of happy hour, and the host and waiter quickly seated us and made sure our orders got in on time. Our waiter was attentive, checking in on us throughout the evening, which added to the positive experience. Taste The menu featured many tasty options, all reasonably priced. We ordered the shrimp tacos, mac and cheese balls, and wings, which were all delicious. The mac and cheese balls, in particular, were a standout! For drinks, we had mojitos and margaritas, both well-made with a noticeable amount of alcohol--exactly what we needed. Ambiance The vibe at Society was lively, with great music that added to the fun atmosphere. It's an ideal spot to unwind, whether for happy hour or a night out with friends. Recommendation After a disappointing happy hour elsewhere, Society gave us the redemption we needed! With flavorful food, well-mixed drinks, and excellent service, it's a spot I'd definitely return to. Highly recommended if you're looking for good vibes and tasty eats! read more

Went here last night for dinner with a friend. We had an 830 reservation, so when we got there and checked in with the hostess, she looked around to see what tables were open which was different. It was pretty packed but I get the impression if there were no tables open, we would have had to wait despite having a reservation. There were two tables open, and she asked us to choose one. One was all the way in the back and the other was by the window in front. We chose to sit by the window in front but it happened to be right under a vent, so it was very cold. Once we sat down, we waited for over 25 minutes before our waitress arrived. At one point, I checked in with the hostess to ask if someone was coming to our table because now it's after 9 pm and we are pretty hungry. The hostess came to give us water, and told us the waitress would be with us shortly. It took at least 15 minutes after our water was served before our waitress arrived. When she finally arrived, I was ready to order but my friend was still deciding. I put in my order--some jerk wings and a side salad with a cocktail to start. My friend wasn't sure what she wanted so I told them to just bring out my side salad to start but bring my wings out later with my friend's order. I will say our drinks and my side salad came out quickly and by the time they came out, my friend put her order in. Interestingly enough, my friend got her order of the Cajun pasta with chicken way before my wings came out. I'm talking about 20 minutes or so before my appetizer wings came out. I was utterly confused why wings would take so long to come out. My friend did let me try a bit of her pasta while I waited for my wings, and that was very good, I must say. I do honestly think they forgot about my order or my waitress never put it in although I saw her write it down. Once again, I went up to the hostess to ask if my wings were on the way because our waitress never checked back in on us to see if we needed anything and how the food was coming along (I know the hostess was probably sick of me!) The women beside us commented that it was taking very long for them as well. Now again, I know they were busy, but I've been in busier restaurants where things moved more efficiently. There were tons of people working--they had two hostesses on, yet service was barely happening. Finally, my wings came out about 30 minutes later, and they were very good, but not worth the wait in my opinion. They had a bit of spice, good seasoning, and had a good portion of wings--with an even mix of drums and flats. My critique is that I think they could have left the wings in the fryer a bit longer. I will say their music is great. My friend and I definitely were enjoying the DJ and the song selection, and there's space to dance if you choose. There's also an upstairs lounge and rooftop that my friend and I checked out before we headed out. It was pretty dead upstairs compared to downstairs though. I don't think I'd come back here for food. Maybe just to have a drink and enjoy the music. I don't think service is their strong suit. read more

Sunday night venture. DJ was terrible. You can't tell me looking out into the crowd and only seeing 0%-25% percent of the crowd for 2+ hours somewhat dancing doesn't prompt you to switch up the music some? Lack of communication on the open bar that was suddenly nonexistent? Won't be seeing me ever again. read more

Definitely a fun establishment Jamaican themed music and sports playing on the TVs. The service is okay like any sports bar it's sometimes hard to get a bartenders attention but at least you can sit at the bar and eat a meal with out feeling claustrophobic. The food was greatly priced in my opinion i am not sure where you can go and get 2 lobster tail for the price I paid for it I was really happy about that. Food was fire too tasted like a true Jamaican restaurant. read more

The Society Restaurant and Lounge - Curried lobster tail and shrimp - Caribbean Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Disclaimer, this review is solely based on the early Saturday afternoon experience that the upstairs lounge gave. So, we walked over here after having brunch at their other establishment, the Breakfast Club, so we essentially just grabbed a drink and got some dancing in. Therefore, my review doesn't address food. The lounge area is decently sized. There is a green cute wall with seating towards the back portion of the space. There are also additional tables and seating spread out throughout the entire room. There are also fans strategically located to further circulate the air in the room, which is a plus. The music selection here is absolutely great which prompts dancing! The drink I ordered was the Hands on your knees which tasted good and had a good amount of alcohol in it. If you are looking for a good vibe with good sounds, this may be your spot. I know I will definitely be back when I am in the area and looking for a Sunday funday or a low-key good time on a Saturday afternoon. read more

Technically, this would be a 3.5 star review, but math tells me that I have round up to a 4. Overall, we had a nice experience having brunch at The Society. We wanted to try a new brunch spot in downtown Silver Spring, and we were not disappointed...by the food The extensive menu has a nice variety of Southern and Caribbean dishes. For my dining pleasure, I went with the Fish and Crab Ball & Grits, and my partner went with the chicken meal (3 pieces of chicken, green, mac n cheese, and a biscuit), and we both shared an order of the chicken wings. OMG! The chicken wings were AMAZING with a perfect blend IMO of sweet, tangy, and spicy. My Fish and Grits and his "Southern Platter" were pretty good. Also, the portions are huge, so you will not leave hungry if you order an entree. While the food was great, I thought the service could have been a bit better. On a couple of occasions, I had to ask for basic things for dining (e.g., salt/pepper/hot sauce and silverware). I was a bit surprised that we had to request silverware since we ordered food. Also, I was a bit surprised when the bartender did not let us know that it was last call for bottomless beverages. I would say in at least 95% of restaurants where I've had bottomless brunch, the server or bartender would say something like: Hey, brunch service is ending soon, so if you want anything else let me know ASAP. Ok, so I get that a restaurant doesn't have to do this, but it does add to the customer experience. Be aware that the restaurant adds a 20% gratutiy. I don't really have a problem with this, but just be aware so you don't tip extra . . . unless you want to. Perhaps, this is an issue more with the area (or rather the clientele) than the restaurant itself: I will admit that I was put a little on edge because the restaurant had a bouncer that did quick body searches/pat downs on the men entering the restaurant. I was like dang, do people really pop off during an early afternoon brunch. Then again, I guess anything can happen when mimosas are involved. Oh, I almost forgot. During our meal the owner (or as she put it the chef, cook, receptionist, AND custodian) came out and introduced herself to a few people at the bar and in the dining room. I thought that was a sweet gesture that somewhat made up for the struggles with the service. read more

A reliable brunch spot when it comes to the food and mimosas. The service can be hit or miss depending on how large your party is or if they're having a busy day. The food and music make up for it in my opinion. I definitely prefer the upstairs setting but be mindful if you don't enjoy a loud environment. A good spot if you aren't trying to do too much (but get there early if you're doing brunch on a sunday). read more

Friends from out of town found this place on TikTok and wanted to get rid of try. I will say that we were told that you can dine upstairs but realistically that isn't an option unless you are just getting finger foods. So we ended up dining downstairs. The wait time for everyone to get their drinks and food was spaced out. No utensils provided at the table. When they did bring utensils they only bought it for a third of the party and the rest had to wait and keep asking for utensils. They seem not to have a lot of food items or drink ingredients which are on the menu. I ordered Grand Marnier wings, which was pretty good and a salad that was lackluster. My party stated that the food was good for the most part. The service was really rocky again from waiting for utensils to shaky tables to then the billing issue. We each were given our own tabs, which I thought was weird for a restaurant to just initiate, but we went with it. There was a 20% charge for each person bill including a 4% fee. So my bill was $78.53 after the fees. When I did the math, the bill should've been a little cheaper, but I also was told that they do not provide receipts which is very sketchy for a restaurant to tell a customer. Not to mention they also try to not give me my change. I had to go back-and-forth with the waiter multiple times to get back the change and I'm not talking about the dollar I'm talking about literal change they wanted to round my money to the highest dollar for them to keep. Then they seem to have an attitude when having to give me back my change but again they're already charging a total of 24% in fees plus the ghost charges that were also viewed so I will not come back here to eat. I think this place has a lot of potential but it's not managed properly. The vibe upstairs was OK but the round tables that are standing only view in front of the sections was a little bit awkward as well. read more

I stopped in Society for some Jerk Wings which were good. What was surprising was the poor service and attitude. The bartender was busy and was not pleasant at all. No customer service skills. The business charges a mandatory 20% Tip which is not equivalent to the level of service given. I decided to place an order to go with some other items. The bartender/waitress disappeared so I waited several minutes just to pay. No apologies for the long wait. When I got home i discovered the bag was full on grease/sauce. And the Caribbean Rolls were much smaller than before. I had dinner at Society three years ago, and the food and service was good but it has definitely changed. Not for better! Society needs to hire a bartender and waitresses that care about providing good service otherwise this restaurant will go out of business in spite of their convenient location. I would not recommend going to Society unless you want poor service and attitude. read more

Came to catch up with a friend over brunch. You can still park in the Silver Spring Metro garage (which is about a blocks walk away) for free on Sundays. Any other day now, you have 2 hour parking using ParkMobile app We didnt have reservations on a Sunday @230p but we were able to be seated upstairs or downstairs. Upstairs was louder with music or today, and downstairs was chill old school music. We sat downstairs. Order from QR menu. I had the grits and fish with crab balls on the side. Good dish, I barely ate half of it. I also opted for the Belinni mimosa carafe, $25 per person My friend had the chicken and waffles, said it was good and hearty also. Didn't finish all of his either. He doesn't drink but the restaurant offered Ginger beer and mocktails!!! The mocktail with mint was delishhhhhhhhhh! The bathrooms are only on the first floor, 2 stalls for women. If you're upstairs, you have to come downstairs for bathrooms also We ended up going upstairs for the day party @5. Sat at the bar area since we weren't doing hookah. Bartendars were nice and fast. A live DJ started playing old school hip hop which was a nice play Chill spot, I'd return read more

I HAD A BALL! I haven't been out in a "Club" setting for quite a few year (I'm embarrased to say) and i wasn't sure how it would make me feel. But it was nice, there was enough room for people to dance, talk, drink and even stand against the wall without getting bumped into. There are two levels and both of them had a different vibe. The drink are priced the way club drinks are priced, and they weren't as strong as I thought they would be. Even though I asked for a Patron Magarita I KNOW they added some rail Tequilla because I had a headache the next day. But its whatever, I enjoyed it when I was there! read more

Gather round friends because this is a post you cannot miss. I thought I had already posted a review. Anyways let's just say my friends and I had a night to remember. The food was so delicious, our server was so nice and the VIBE everything! I made reservations for 7 ladies and everyone of us had a good time. There was a DJ. DJ ETN and he played all sorts of music from the 90's to Afro beats and I really did know when I jumped up and said wait that's my jam and next thing I was dancing. I have pictures so you'll see. If you ever have a friend coming into town or you just want to hang out with the girls or guys this is the place. It's located in Silver Spring and I recommend this place 100 percent! From what k understand Mondays is live poetry and Fridays and Saturdays you have a DJ! read more

I was on the fence when I first got to this restaurant because it took a very long time for us to get our drinks. However, after waiting 20 minutes to get our drinks once our food order was taken our food came extremely fast and it was absolutely delicious. They have a great menu and their prices are perfect. Everything was made fresh and tasted great. Multiple people came by our table to check on us and the unlimited mimosas were served in large crafts. Our service suggested that we go upstairs to take pictures and the upstairs day bar looks great. I can't wait to come back for hookah and drinks on their deck. read more

I came here for the first time on a Monday for a poetry event. The downstairs area was empty but upstairs at the event was a nice size crowd. I walked in concerned that I would not get a seat but eventually found one. The bar area upstairs was quite crowded. By the time I received my drinks at a table, line at the bar had not moved. Since this was a special event, I would not hold this against them. I started to think that they did not have enough staff on site for the event. The rum punch was yummy and they gave me quite a bit. The catfish sad which was alright. I expected a bit more flavor but it was still good. The fries were good too. I've know about this spot for about 10 years and I am so glad that I finally went. I will definitely be back and recommend this place to others. read more

The fried mac and cheese balls were scrumptious and came in a tasty, creamy sauce. And I was unsure what to expect with the Caribbean egg rolls but am so happy I got it because they were delicious. For a drink, I got a lemon martini and it was tasty and perfectly balanced. Next time I come, I'm likely to reorder all the same items. read more

Celebrated my bday at Society Restaurant and Lounge a few Sundays ago and really had a time! My only issue, brunch started at 11 and the DJ didn't arrive until 1pm. They had to call the hookah guy several times before he showed up. Not sure if this was because the place was empty when we arrived, but they shouldn't matter. Brunch started at 11am, the DJ should have been there when it started. Other than that, I had a great time, Society always delivers! read more

NYE plans ruined! I called the restaurant and made a reservation for 4 people for 10pm. Dressed in our festive attire for NYE, we walked up to the lounge where a long line of people were standing. Having been informed that a party was upstairs I assumed the line was for that. Sadly no, the long line was to enter the restaurant. They were no longer honoring reservations. I felt so bad for my friends who I invited out. Never again!!! And because of the late hour we had no options for food. We ended up going to wing stop. They could have called me so I could make other arrangements. Just horrible! UPDATE: I gave the owners the opportunity to make things right. They refused! I will NEVER go here again! read more

Honestly from all of the pics and hype that I've seen on social media I was expecting way more from this establishment. My friend and I stopped by for drinks and the restaurant looked nothing like I've been seeing online. The first floor was a bit dated and gave the vibe of a neighborhood bar. The hostess mentioned the upstairs lounge which is where everything is taking the pics for social media. Upstairs music was extremely loud and had hookah etc if that's your vibe. We decided to stay downstairs and the waitress was pretty much nonexistent. Especially since it is an automatic 20% gratuity no matter how bad the service is.

Ehhhh. I don't think I would ever go back here again. First of all, we ordered the drinks off the happy hour menu and the drinks were good, but literally just juice. I barley tasted any alcohol and the drinks were way too sweet that I left feeling sick. Also, we ordered the spring rolls and fries off the happy hour menu. The fries were very soggy. I like my fries crispy and these were the opposite of what I like. The spring rolls were the best thing out of the meal.... Also, we had to wait a long time for our food to be ready. People who ordered after us got their food before us. Even though they ordered the same stuff as us, so that was confusing. Our bartender was really friendly and nice, but that was probably the only positive thing about my experience here. read more

This is my go to happy hour spot when I don't want to go to the city but want to be close to the city if that makes any sense.

I love the Caribbean rolls and the wings never miss. They also have the best salmon tacos I've had in my life lol.

My fiancé and I decided to come here for brunch last Saturday. The restaurant was pretty busy but still had a couple tables left for us without a reservation. The hostess was on the phone for a few minutes when we came so we thought of eating elsewhere. We finally got a table and decided to order bottomless mimosa, Caribbean rolls, steak & eggs, and fried chicken and waffles. The mimosas while pricey were perhaps the best we had. We had three carafes and felt it well into the evening. Luckily we live a block away and don't drive. We loved the Caribbean jerk rolls as our appetizer. The steak was some of the best we've had and the eggs were yummy too. The waffle was very delicious and fried chicken also some of the best. Despite the five star food there are three reasons why I have to dock a star. First, because with the gratuity the bill was over $130 for both of us. Second, the hostess was most responsive. Finally, one of the servers was unmasked which would have been fine back in June but now with the Delta variants and the Montgomery County mask mandate, I found this surprising. The hostess also had her mask under the nose which may have been more of an honest mistake but the staff should be masked correctly. I wouldn't mind returning but due to the higher costs it may be more of a special occasion place. I also hope their staff improves in mask wearing until the pandemic improves and the County feels it's necessary to lift the mandate. read more

I just stood at the bar for 10 minutes, the two female bartenders acted like I was invisible and served everyone but me.
