“Really good southern food here.”

Really good southern food here. The portions and price suck but the flavor and service is there. I ordered the fried shrimp. Good batter, not super crispy though. And the shrimp were medium and not super cooked like I prefer for the texture but still really good. The buttermilk biscuit was perfect. The Mac n cheese was pretty good as well just oily. It's sort of like a sports bar inside. There's also seating outside. Again pretty good, just of they lowered the prices or beefed up the portions it would be aligned in value.

While an unfortunate attempt to steal my wallet occurred during dinner, it didn’t take away from the incredible food. The corn was so flavorful it’s something I still dream about—and will definitely try to recreate at home. The shrimp was fried to absolute perfection, and the drinks were clearly crafted with care and love. Follow my instagram page @beyondbiteswithdes

“Ina Mae WAS AMAZING - i have a bias for places that offers entrees/dishes with 2 additional sides...”

Ina Mae WAS AMAZING - i have a bias for places that offers entrees/dishes with 2 additional sides and this places does just that! The service was great - the employees were very personable. I am so thankful that me and my partner were able to have such amazing food last weekend. I definitely recommend trying Ina Mae's food. The Mac & Cheese 🧀 is incredible.

“I had an amazing time here with my friend.”

I had an amazing time here with my friend! We went on a Saturday night and were pleasantly surprised that there was no wait. We chose to sit at the bar, where we ordered both drinks and food. The appetizers and entrées were fantastic—especially the ribs, which were absolutely delicious. The service was excellent, with attentive and friendly staff who were always available. I’ll definitely be coming back!

“Southern food in a new Orleans themed space.”

Southern food in a new Orleans themed space. Nice rotating seasonal cocktail menu and the food overall is good. Menu covers a nice spread and prices are fairly reasonable for the city. It may have been a bit of an off night when we went, but our server was pulled in a few too many directions and it was hard to flag them down. They were very nice others.

“I absolutely had a great experience here.”

I absolutely had a great experience here. I took my sister for her birthday. We did outdoor seating. Wait staff were kind and helpful. First drink I had was the Ina Mae House Punch and I'd order that again and again. It came in a little skull pitcher and set the tone for the meal. We ordered deviled eggs. We were eating them so quick we barely got a picture. We tried the gumbo great but comes with potato salad. We thought we might hold that part. We had red beans and rice with sausage. We kept eating this and stuffing ourselves. It was great that day and when reheated the next day. We also had fried chicken. You can carry the flavor but I like mine plain. It was fried well in meal. I enjoy it then and as a leftovers. If you are on the go and eat out often then how leftovers taste matter. Finally we had a snowball and opted to make it boozy. If you do nothing else you can come here to make your own drunken treat.

“This bar/restaurant was yummy.”

This bar/restaurant was yummy! The service was nice and our server Jordann (with 2 n's) was very accommodating. The snowballs are their signature drink and the food is along the line of creole inspired. Def will visit again. Tough to find parking but when you do... def check them out.

“Service was very fast.”

Service was very fast. It appeared to be 80% full and our meals came out quickly. Drinks, appetizers, entree, drinks - all that and we walked out within an hour of our arrival. Food was great. We especially liked the po boy w/ blackened shrimp. Deviled eggs were wonderful, good spin on the classic without going overboard. I recommend the rum punch. We’ll be back to try more menu items! Small gripe, I booked through open table and they sent me a no show email. Got it taken care of though,

“Came for dinner and there was no wait for outside seating.”

Came for dinner and there was no wait for outside seating. The portions are huge and the food is actually delicious. I’m got the Nashville chicken po boy and it was thigh meat with a cornmeal breading and Nashville style hot sauce. The sauce was a bit sweet and not spicy so this is for anyone. The sandwich was topped with lettuce, tomato, Mayo, pickles, and avocado. Also, the sandwich comes with fries! We split the Mac and cheese and collards, both of which were very good. The indoor seating had a cool stage for music above the dining areas. Cool place.

“Tasty food for a great value.”

Tasty food for a great value. The portions are pretty large. The biscuits are buttery goodness. Fried chicken came out steamy hot and had great flavor. Service and drinks were good. Would definitely come back. Be aware that not all of the chairs are the same. Some have backs and some do not. If you have a preference, make sure to indicate in your reservation.

“My boyfriend and I went here on Thurs.”

My boyfriend and I went here on Thurs. OK parking sucks as everywhere around there you had to have a sticker for permit parking. So we parked on diversy. About a 10 min walk. The ambiance and atmosphere of this place e is incredible. Almost felt like we were in New Orleans. And they had a magician there as well. We started with the oysters with parm and bread crumbs. For $18 they were very tiny and very little toppings. Had to scrape to get anything- so not impressed what so ever. I get them everywhere i go and this place, has been the worst. Our server seemed like he didn't want to be there. He asks us if we've ever been here before, i was assuming so he could give us some food or drink suggestions, but no, none of that. Then I was asking him about drinks and he couldn't answer any of it. We proceeded to order the crab cakes with the side of mac n cheese and the rice and beans. That was all very good but for 28 bucks the crab cakes were a little on the small side. I had wanted to try thr collard greens and asked the server if he could bring me a spoonful before I would order it and he said no. I've been to plenty of restaurants and with things like that, they've always let me try. My boyfriend got the fried chicken sandwhich with fries. The breading was very thin and different, but very good. The kid didn't bring any ketchup or anything g for the fries and they do not have Mayo for the chicken sandwhich. It was hard to get my server for the second round of drinks. And after I ordered the drinks it took 20 min to get it. I flagged hum again and was like, wheres my drink. He's like we only have one bartender. Maybe this place should consider having 2 or 3 because it was a full house and who wants to wait 20 min for a drink. For dessert, we got the beneigs and those were in a bag super hot and super good. All in all the place was worth going to but if they had better service- it would make this place top notch.
