fried chickee used to be my favorite dinner. was deliciou moist crispy fried chicken breast. now fried thigh.
Steak and cheese sandwich - very little steak. more bread than all other ingredients combined.
Deviled eggs good but used to be 5 eggs for $12. now 4 for $12. $3 for half an egg is over-priced.
Over all, disappointed. not up to usual M.S. quality.

Stars off for portion/proce ratio. $8 for a cup or less of Side Elote Corn. Same for the Side Mac & Cheese and Side French Fries. The Mason Burger lacked flavor but the bacon side was a large portion for the price.

I really wanted to like Mason Social, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype. The biggest issue is the portion size of their side items is marketed as “shareable,” but in reality, most dishes feel like individual portions at best. It’s misleading, especially for the price point.
On top of that, the taste and quality are inconsistent. What you get dining in isn’t the same as what you get when ordering out. The collard greens had absolutely no flavor, which was a huge letdown, and the macaroni and cheese was overwhelmed by a smoky taste that completely masked everything else.
There’s potential here, but right now, it feels like style over substance.

The Chili Dogs were good, I would order again and say extra cheese. I got the Mason Burger well-done and it was a bit dry so I'll try medium well next time. I'm picky about Deviled Eggs but enjoyed these!
The side of elote was really good, the Ceasar Salad was as expected, the rice was bland though. Overall, ordering again!
