I had the gumbo grits and catfish. It was tasty. The music was a good vibe. Usually there is a table limit, but it was a Saturday towards the end and we were able to stay and enjoy. The server was very friendly and checked in frequently. The margarita tower was a “good time”.

Food quality and choices are exceptional. Everything was unique with tons of flavor. The Gumbo, short rib, pork steak and mac and cheese are all divine. The service was mostly reasonable. The staff are all exceptionally nice but our drinks came after our food, we had to ask multiple times for refills. We ordered family style, which was great, but the food arrived and we had no individual plates to serve the food and had to flag someone down to get them. Overall I highly recommend it but for the price I would expect better attention to detail from the staff. I will go back because the food is that good!
