Monday dinner. Our waitress Cam and food were fantastic! She checked on us regularly, mgr walked through once as well and asked how meal was. We were in and out in an hour, waitress was fast but patient and polite. Appetizer can’t go wrong with the cheddar scallion biscuits - great flavor. A must for first time visit. The shrimp capp was great, tomato sauce based and plenty of shrimp. The Szechuan noodles were tasty, just enough heat, heat increased toward bottom of the dish a bit. Atmospheric was restaurant loud as bar with happy hour only separated by a 4’ wall. Have to set in bar area to get happy hour prices. Will be back. Dinner for 2 & 2 beers $51 before tip. Parking at 4:30pm was little tight as in the spots themselves. Leaving at 5:30 busy L shaped parking lot.

Dinner for family of 4 Monday evening at 7:30, got right in without a reservation. Our waitress was very attentive. We had biscuits (good) and thai shrimp (excellent) appetizers, and entrees of blackened shrimp pasta (excellent), burger (excellent) fries (throughly greasy--literally just tasted like grease), fried chicken salad (good), pizza (greasy, but good flavor). Couple beers and a couple soda's $101 plus tip. It was EXTREMELY LOUD.)

We had a fantastic dining experience at Kitchen Social during our Columbus stay! Despite not having a reservation, we were promptly seated in the restaurant's outdoor area. The area was comfortably covered for winter, and I can imagine it being very cool during the summer months. Every server we interacted with was courteous and friendly, making us feel welcome right away. Our server, in particular, was very attentive and checked in multiple times to ensure everything was perfect. The drinks and food came out incredibly quick, and everything tasted amazing, especially the biscuits. Overall, our visit was great and I highly recommend Kitchen Social for a great dining experience!

Im so glad they updated their menu and put stuff worth reviewing again! This trip was absolutely amazing. We ordered a bunch of things including the chicken sausage pizza, friend chicken sandwich, Short Ribs and Grits, Seared Chicken with Kale Salad! The cheddar and scallions biscuits were the highlight of the appetizers! I also had the Brown Butter Cake with mascarpone cheese and English cream…. And he crust on the cake mixed with the fresh berries and mascarpone cheese .. chefs kiss

It was our first time here and everything was amazing. The manager came over to our table asked us about ourselves, asked about our experience so far and was very respectful. He did this to many of the tables around us as well. Our waitress was quick, nice and made great suggestions. It made us feel very welcomed and it was a great personal touch. The food was amazing! We had their famous biscuits and honey butter and they were delicious. The food was amazing as well. Overall a 10/10 experience and we would come again !

My two best friends and I came here for our annual birthday celebration and I haven't stopped dreaming about it since! My vegetarian, gluten-free diet was easy, and my girlfriends got dishes that matched their tastes. The nachos are next-level, of course....but the DRINKS!! Delicious and effective. We had the BEST time!

My husband and I come to the Polaris location often and tonight we were disappointed to see the crab toast wasn’t carried over to their new menu. We had a table touch by one of the partners, Justin, and next thing we know the Executive Chef, Jose, brings out a special made, off menu, plate of their crab toast. It was such a kind gesture and made our experience even better. Their commitment to excellence is unmatched. Every meal here is delicious and their customer service is top tier. If you haven’t have Kitchen Social, do yourself a favor and check it out, you won’t be disappointed.
