What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Social House Kitchen and Bar is praised for its lively atmosphere and unique menu items, particularly the giant pretzel and brunch options. While many appreciate the service and value, some reviews mention slow service and inconsistent experiences, especially regarding entry policies. The venue offers a dynamic transition from dining to a nightclub, making it a popular spot for various occasions.
"2lb pretzel did not disappoint! It was the perfect appetizer for our group. I went on to order the Social House Burger and wow. It was a little hard to eat with the cheese smothered on top. However after flipping the bun it was quite delicious and manageable. I'd definitely go back if I was in Grand Rapids again!!"
Alex Reindel
"Cool little spot downtown, had a gigantic pretzel for appetizer!! It was served with mustard, cheese, and cinnamon butter (that was not so great).
It is seat yourself which was fun to watch right before a concert but also quite efficient. Tables turn over alright and there is some outside seating. Decorated well, prices were reasonable.
Our waitress was good and the location is nice downtown. Men’s restroom was down at our visit but they do also have 2 unisex stalls and a women’s room. Maybe worth a visit if your are in Grand Rapids, fries are crispy and good but slight sweeetness which is odd and unique."

"I stopped into Social House a few times over this weekend and it was great. The quest quesadilla was phenomenal. The staff was kind and the location perfect next to Van Andel. Will definitely be back next time we are all in town."
