“The food was solid and tasty. Great beer selection. It was somewhat slow, but I can see how it gets lively and exciting since they have a large bar, TVs and great alcohol selection.”
“Great food and great drinks! Great place to hang out with a group”
“We were driving around and found this place and it was open late kitchen. Quartet jazz playing while we ate. The food was very well seasoned. The service was very fast fast. Everything was tasty. The staff was very accom. A dating I'm most definitely will be back to try more food on the menu and listen to the entertainment Monday night Thursday night Friday night Wednesday night.”
“The “slider” burger is only $7 during happy hour but is really a full size burger with fries. The salmon chowder is amazing and unlike anything I had ever tasted. Go here please!!”
“I picked this place kinda randomly before seeing a musical act. I made the reservation with gMaps for dinner on a Saturday, but ended up not needing it. It did get much busier. There were so many upscale-lite dishes. They all sounded so good. So I freaked out, went basic, and got the steak frites. 🤣 Food was good, music was good, draft beers were good. Staff was great. It got very busy, but never noisy. They have sound panels tactfully placed around the place and ceilings. This place will get my return visit.”
“Came here after work to unwind and it hit the spot. The vibe is relaxed with a nice bar setting—perfect for decompressing after a long shift. On my first visit, I tried the steak frites for the first time and paired it with their Pineapple Margarita Jar—both were on point. The steak was tender, the fries were crispy, and that marg was the perfect mix of sweet and strong. Came back a second time and grabbed the calamari, a $7 slider, and fries. Everything was fresh and flavorful. This time I went with the Strawberry Margarita Jar and it did not disappoint. Fast service both times, friendly staff, and you really can’t beat happy hour every day. Definitely adding this to my after-work rotation!”
“Good food and good size portions. Menu has a lot of options as well”
“I ordered delivery I had shrimp and crawfish etouffee with blackend catfish, it has a good mixture of pepper onion and Cajun seasoning that gives you a taste of down south some times it can use additional black pepper”
