    We dined this evening at the Fat Ox after hearing good things, so we had high expectations. When we arrived the service was quick and attentive and we were seated right away. At this point our server Brandt greeted us and walked us through the menu, providing very helpful recommendations. He took a lot of time and was clearly very passionate about the food and the restaurant. I won’t highlight everything we had, but Brandt was absolutely spot on with his suggestions. Our group agreed that it was one of the best meals we have ever had. The chicken was absolutely incredible. The food was perfect, the service was amazing and it absolutely resulted in a memorable night with my family. I cannot recommend the Fat Ox enough, and if you’re lucky enough to get Brandt as your server, you will have an incredible night. He made the night extremely special. Go to the Fat Ox. You will not regret it.

    I got excellent service from my waiter, Ever, and my bartender, Hannah. I didn’t expect such great service. I rewarded them monetarily, but I think they might need some verbal recognition from management, too. Hannah made me a great Lemon Drop martini, and Ever was ever so accommodating to any request I made. I also received a great greeting from Bella, too, receptionist / server.

    Best pizza in AZ. Felt like the staff was a bit overwhelmed. We tried their Tiramisu, which was awesome. Would like a few more meatless options. But overall we love the place.

    This is not our first Rodeo going to Society. Absolutely love this place, and it just continues to get better and better each visit! Today I ordered the Mushroom pasta with blackened chicken after being stuck on Beef Vodka Pasta and Chicken Alfredo the last 3 visits. We always start out with the Feta whip appetizer, with bread and pita wedges. The Spicy Sandia drink is the best drink we've tasted East Coast to West Coast, hands down. The Guava drink is the next best 👌. We decided to take our son who loves Shirley Temples, and got a super tall one today with Chicken Alfredo. It was his first experience and he concurs it's the best. Brittney our waitress was attentive, personable and great! The ambiance is stellar, temp crisp but not too cold, and decor on point. Our favorite restaurant in AZ. We have brought out of town guests, celebrated our Anniversary, and now Valentines with Society, thank you for an awesome experience.
