Social Goat — Restaurant in Portage

We had really high hopes for this place since some locals rave about it and it would be nice to have a fun new spot for the family. We love that it's family friendly, non-smoking, and has games and dancing. The line dancing looked fun, and most of the staff were very friendly (especially the DJ!).

Unfortunately, the food was very mediocre and overpriced. Think Valpo restaurant prices with college dorm food. Our waitress was the bummer of the night. She didn't greet us when we walked in so we were just standing there waiting to be seated or told "sit anywhere", which eventually she said. She was super awkward did not bring any water. Sucks when you order spicy food and need to wash it down with vodka. She also brought us the wrong bill at the end of the night. After giving us the wrong bill and taking our card, she came back and said "sorry, actually this is yours, we have two people here with the same name. I'll go ring it up." But she literally flashed the bill at us and didn't even give us a chance to see it. We didn't realize until we got home, but it turns out she overcharged us - we paid full price for my drink even though they are supposed to be half-off on Fridays... Since we never saw or received a copy of our receipt, there's nothing we can do. Very disappointing. Overall I really want to like it here, but the food was bad and the...

The bartenders are great and they made sure I was taken care of. Yes, I am calling them bartenders and not servers. I went here on a Friday because I heard it was a family-friendly restaurant and they were doing line dancing. Well, it was neither family-friendly nor a restaurant. It was a bar scattered with drunk people and older folks grinding on each other. I don't want my kids to be seeing that. We ordered a couple of items on the menu. The shocking thing to me was the corn bread muffins that were seen as an appetizer and were ten bucks. I never heard anybody serve 4 cornbreads as an appetizer. The pizzas were floppy, tasteless and small. The sauce seemed to come straight from a can and I spent around 18 dollars for a pizza. I much rather go to Bams right around the corner. Or even Little Caesars. At little Caesars I can get an edible pizza AND bread sticks for 9.99. The portion was absolutely not worth the price. The menu had really weird sentence structure and word choices and many descriptions on the menu seemed to be written by chatgpt....

This is not a restaurant. This isn't for kids. This is a bar and this place is delusional for advertising...

I had high hopes for this new place. I’ve seen mixed reviews so I can’t say anything until I try it for myself. My husband and I went and shared a “pizza” and “nachos” When I asked for the nachos. I asked for lettuce on the nachos with tomato and sour cream. When the nachos came, they had spring mix on them. To me that’s not lettuce. The nacho plate was made where the cheese was at the bottom of everything. The chicken was like the precooked Tyson chicken you get out of the bag in the freezer section. I was not impressed when I think nachos I think a pile of chips cheese sauce drizzled all over. The meat, the sour cream and lettuce & tomato’s all over the top. That was not the case. The “pizza” was a crust that looks like the ones that come from dollar tree. We paid $17.99 for a pizza that had 6 small slices. Again with the precooked chicken on it. They need a complete menu make over. If you’re going to do chicken you need to do actual chicken and cook it and prepare it yourself. That’s what makes these type of places unique. I hate to say it. We might go back there but not for the food, especially for the...
