What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
SoLou receives praise for its unique Southern-inspired dishes and vibrant patio atmosphere, making it a popular brunch and happy hour spot. While many rave about appetizers like shrimp corn dogs and the crabmeat cheesecake, some diners found certain main dishes to be uninspiring or lacking in flavor, and noted inconsistencies in food quality over time. The service is generally described as friendly and attentive, with a special mention for the manager's dedication, although one reviewer experienced a less than welcoming interaction.
"I picked SoLou for a Saturday morning brunch after checking the menu & seeing a unique number of menu items. As pictured below, this establishment has a little something for everyone. The manager, Lauren made sure to make our experience memorable and would check up on us often & take care of any issues that arises. The staff was friendly and helpful as our table had limited real estate and dishes has to be constantly cycled for room purposes. Wanted to give a special shout out to the manager as she literally did it all. From cleaning tables, to birthdays, to coffee cups, to running food. I have never seen a floor manager take such an active approach to make sure each guest was so well taken care of. Kudos to you! SoLou has speciality dishes, unique ambience, and a very welcoming vibe. Thank you for taking the time to make us feel special and making sure we left full. 5/5 phenomenal"

"The shrimp corn dogs were really good! A great appetizer to share with 4 people. The shrimp and grits were also good if you don't mind a savory style of grits. The burger was okay, nothing to brag about. Chicken and waffles had a good flavor and was a crowd favorite.
The ambiance/ atmosphere did not match the style of the food. When walking in it seems like a restaurant where you could dress up a bit but the food was giving dress down. Our server was great and catered to our every need. We did get some slight frozen tater tots and sent those back. Other than that, SoLou was a cute eatery but the food could have been better."

"We’re in town for bowling and found this great spot by chance. Fantastic spicy gumbo and sweet crab and corn chowder! The truffle Mac and Cheese was delicious and creamy and everything was piping hot! I didn’t get our bartenders name but he was super attentive and made delicious cocktails. Wasn’t very busy when we arrived but was full by the time we left. Great atmosphere, music was just right."
