Southern Social is a fine-dining restaurant at 2285 S Germantown Rd in Germantown, the leafy Memphis suburb, where updated Dixieland classics and a deep bourbon program draw diners looking for a polished Southern meal. With a 4.7-star rating, it has become a go-to choice for anniversaries, birthdays, and unhurried date nights.
The menu reworks familiar regional cooking with a refined hand. Expect Southern staples presented with fine-dining finesse. Many guests start at the bar with a bourbon flight, which offers a side-by-side tasting of several pours and makes a strong introduction to American whiskey. The dining room is dressed-up but comfortable, with attentive, table-side service. Dishes and flight selections change over time, so ask your server what is pouring that night.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Reserve ahead for Friday and Saturday evenings, especially around holidays and graduation season, when special-occasion bookings fill the room. For a quieter meal, go early on a weekday evening. Mention a celebration when you book. Pace the bourbon flight alongside your meal rather than finishing it before food arrives. The restaurant sits on S Germantown Rd, a main suburban corridor, and visitors generally arrive by car since public transit options here are limited. Confirm current hours and menu details directly with the restaurant before visiting, as schedules can change seasonally.
