  I came here on a thursday around 1:00 for lunch. The place is nice looking inside, very contemporary. There was nobody in the place at all, it was the entire staff and us so that worried me a little bit. Upon looking at the menu I noticed it was really expensive, we opted for the fried pickles as the appetizer. they came out steaming hot so our waiter told us we should wait a few minutes before digging in. After we waited we tried them and they were really good, nice and crispy and fresh. The jalapeno sauce they gave was great as well. The only problem with these pickles is that on the bottom of the bowl they came in, was a ton of oil which basically made the last 10 or so pickles inedible.
  For the main lunch entree I opted for the $13 chicken tacos, which was one of the lower priced entrees on the lunch menu.  I ordered the chipotle aioli sauce with them.  The grilled chicken was good but it was served room tempature, not even warm.  The chipotle aioli sauce was excellent.  What did this fabulous $13 lunch tacos come with you may ask??? NOTHING!! For $13 can I get some rice or dare I say, rice and beans?
  With a few changes this place can easily be four stars but for now its two stars in my book. Not sure if I will be back but if I do I hope they make some changes.

  LOVED this place!!! Four of us went here on Saturday and the atmosphere was great and the food was delish!!!  We picked a bunch of appetizers because we were interested in so many we couldn't decide and we were not disappointed!  We tried the Bang Bang Shrimp, Kung Pow Calamari, Reuben Spring Rolls, Cheeseburger Spring Rolls, Philly Cheesesteak Spring Rolls, Pulled Pork Sliders, Disco Fries and Sesame Seared Tuna.  YUM!! Our server, Matt, provided quick and friendly service.  Great crowd at the bar after dinner for drinks to complete a great evening!!  My boyfriend is already talking about going back so we will definitely be returning!!

  I went there yesterday around 1:00 p.m. by myself for a few drinks and food while I did  some work on my computer. Its a cute place, and I was excited bc its walking distance from my house, but the meat head manager, prevented me from going back.
  
  I was at a table (mind you there were maybe 2 other tables taken at this time) when I overhead the manager continuously keep asking my server, if I was going to move to the bar. Then he finally came over to me and asked, explaining they had many reservations coming in. I wish I just left at that time, but I was a little tipsy and I was waiting for my friend to meet me.
  
  When my friend met me, we ordered drinks at the bar.  The bartender asked for our IDS (which i found weird- for me, because I had already been drinking there, and again I was one of a few people in the restaurant), but whatever.
  
  About 5 minutes later, the bartender came over to us and AGAIN asked for our IDS. I asked why and she said "i didn't see them before" Im not sure why she didn't think I had a memory, but when I said "yes you did, we just handed you them" she replied "my manager (meathead) yelled at me and wants me to look at them again.
  
  It was bizzare odd unprofessional behavior. The entire night i couldn't help but notice there were only about 3-4 tables taking in the dining area. So Im not sure why that meathead was adamant I leave my table at 1:00 p.m.  
  
  If I ever walk in there again it will be to tell Mr. Meathead to take Restaurant Management 101- you never ask someone to leave their table, and you certainly don't ask for someone's ID twice AFTER you have already been serving them drinks.

  I have been to American Social several times. We are so happy a new bar with great food has opened close to our home. The menu isn't huge but everything we have tried so far is excellent. We love the French onion dumplings, sliders, bang bang shrimp appetizer and the steak sandwich. We did bring our kids a few times.. There is no kids menu but they loved the chicken fingers and French fries (we did too;)). Besides going for dinner we have gone just to sit at the bar and have some drinks. They also have 2 tables with taps at them for selve serve beer. You need to make a reservation for them but it's fun and something different. We found the atmosphere relaxing and welcoming. A great new place.

  Very nice job redoing the bar into an upscale looking pub too bad the food doesn't match up. Service was great but we arrived at 530pm on a sat night and 6 tables taken,3 with little kids including ours. No kids menu? Limited choices for families and adults. Website had items listed on menu that were not on the actual menu, weird. Decent beer selection. Seems more of a cocktail and app place. Trying to be upscale by not having kids offerings is my guess. Grilled chick sand was ok but way to garlicky with no other flavor to go with it. Wings were good and saucy but spicy. Return visit? Maybe for drinks, my pub food allegiance still goes to the goodlife
