    Our first visit. Overall- I always believe service wins over food. A diner can make a bad choice, but rude service is never ok. Tonight we got amazing service from Tristan and Tray. I didn’t make a good choice on my food- but totally my palette. But Tray would not take me being unhappy. They just were awesome. Treated us like diners they cared about - not even knowing if we were tourists or locals- didn’t care. We will. return! We are relocating here and now know where we will return to! Thank you!

    Tom S was great with making sure everyone at our table was taken care of even if some came in a bit late. The service was great and the food was amazing. I had the gumbo and hush puppies. Will definitely be coming back!

    We chose to have brunch at the start of the Texas-Arkansas football game. We were pleased the volume was turned up so we could hear the announcers. That’s why I rated the volume level as high. It’s usually much quieter. These may have been the best migas I ever had! We are becoming regulars here because the food and service are always great and the price is reasonable.
