I stopped in for a late lunch with a good friend on a Monday afternoon, and we were seated and served by a sweet, Southern waitress, Blake. We started off with the SoCO Trio: Fried Pickles, Wings (we got boneless), and Nachos (we added the brisket). Everything on the Trio was served hot and delicious. I especially LOVED the fried pickles which were crispy, and the white queso and brisket on the thin chip, LOADED nachos. Not to worry, we got our veggies in too and split the nuts and berries salad. (half shown in picture) It was fresh and tasty! We polished everything off with the oh-so-creamy custard, which the Southern Ice Co. has brought in from Connie’s Custard. We ordered vanilla but noticed that there are some really decadent choices available. Charlie’s Cookie Sandwich sounds amazing! It was a little early for us on the drinks front, but the bar looked like a lot of fun. I am excited to bring the whole family back to this new spot. Great friends, plus great food, at affordable prices, you can’t go wrong!

Great attempt at a sports bar / family restaurant. Service was quick and servers were attentive. Definitely got some good strong drinks and flavorful cocktails. Great place to sit by the bar and enjoy some appetizers. And that will be it for me next time. Entree we ordered needed some extra TLC. Was really looking forward to my Nashville hot fried chicken and red beans and rice. Chicken arrived extra greasy, bland, and the Nashville hot was anything but. Was really hoping for some good flavors and crunchy chicken given the Southern name. Tried redemption by dessert but those were just ok. Even the famous custard just hit like regular ice cream. Just bar drinks and appetizers next time.

Southern Ice Co. has a great atmosphere! Something we needed in the area. Our table ordered the fried pickles, three different types of burgers, and Charlie’s cookie for dessert!! Crafts and Cocktails from the bar came out in a timely manner. The food and service were great, we even had managers stop by and ask how everything is. We definitely will be back for game days and family get togethers. It is a warm place for family and friends to be!!

We went to Southern Ice co. for the first time tonight and I can definitely say we will be back. The drinks were good and the food was great. My fiancé had a Jack and Coke, I had a southern spritz(their version of an aperol spritz) and they were very well done. We started with the fried pickles. They were lightly breaded, which I enjoyed, and served with comeback sauce. I wasn’t a huge fan of the sauce but my fiancé really enjoyed it. For entrees, I ordered the salmon with fries and a side salad. It was some of the best salmon I’ve had. It was tender, juicy and very flavorful. The fries were honestly the best part of the entire meal. My fiancé had the tomato bacon grilled cheese and he said it was great. Overall a great experience and we will definitely be back.

New nice spot in Creekside. Inside looks nice and food is good. Would not recommend the Red Beans and Rice. Very bland. Rice seems like instant rice and beans close to refried beans from a can.
Business is new but the servers need a bit more knowledge of the menu. We knew more of the menu from social media but looking for the personal interaction.
Main issue was the $6 each charge for a single scoop of Connie's Custard when Connie's charges $4.57 for a Jumbo. Suggestion would be to add a mini scoop option for the kiddos at a much more resonable price and/or include with the kids meal.
Will visit again and hopefully staff can speak more of the menu, specials, or options for substitution. Just giving an honest review as yall are new.

We went for the soft opening. The drinks were really good. Their Flat Bread was my favorite. My wife loved the salad.
Overall a good experience.

I've been 4 times now. Twice for lunch and twice for cocktails. I found the food to be quite good. I love the buffalo sauce. And the lunch service was good. Not so much with the bar service. I was in last night and it was empty, but still had to wave down the bartender to get a drink. He was on his phone and very much looked like he felt too cool to be tending bar in Creekside. Note to self ... Tailgators is just down the street.

Food is not good. Wish it were better as we live close and would go there often. Chicken fried steak was not great. The gravy was like one big blob. A little too pricy for the quality of food. Red beans and rice is bad too. Gave one extra star due to the atmosphere and service. Great place to watch a game and have a drink. But I like food with my drinks…

Stopped by for a quick New Year’s Day lunch and to watch the end of the LSU football game. When we walked in, we were warmly greeted and asked if we were there to watch something in particular so they could help us find a good spot. There are several places to sit and watch the games, if that’s why you’re there! I like that they play the sound of the game throughout the restaurant. We didn’t try any drinks but our food was delicious and our server was very attentive and friendly. Overall a good experience and a very nice place for a quick bite or to watch sports!

Have been waiting for this place to open. Tried on their first day of opening. The good: Spicey Margarita, pretzel bites, and cinnamon balls. The “Needs Improvement “: Southern Comfort chicken was bland. Rice seemed instant and had crispy rice pieces. Service was good. The device to pay the bill had some issues and took a bit of time to close out. In summary good spot. Will definitely try again but will wait for kinks to work out
