Great music, atmosphere, local beers on tap, and a fantastic kitchen cooking everything from perfect wings, to house made barbecue sauces, to gumbo, to veggie burgers, to hand cut sweet potato fries.

Freestyling—performances from the world's best jazz musicians—are the norm at this old-school hang. Warm up with gumbo, and then wash away your regrets with a Schlafly Pale Ale, the local favorite. Read more

Best honey bbq wings I've ever had. The smoked ribs were good and the sauce they make that goes with the sweet potato fries were good

Great venue! Narrow, intimate, small tasty menu (get seasoned chips) Love front row at the rail on the upstairs balcony to watch acts like Marquise Knox & Jake's Leg! Prices $$$ out of 5 = Great Time

Soup is in the name of this business, but they just have a note about asking about the soup of the day. You'd think they'd have a page in the menu dedicated to soups. Nope. Their soul food is meh.

Possibly the best BBQ sauce I have ever tasted. Yum!

The cornbread is amazing!

Food is good, live music is excellent. The old hag taking cover charge was in a nasty mood. The bartenders are rude and the drink prices are ridiculous, even for downtown. Won't come back.

Ask for the menu! Great music but also great food!

Came here on a Wednesday night. I just wanted to eat but they wanted to charge me a $5 cover. I explained to the guy I just wanted food. But he didn't care.

Not a venue for conversation. Can't hear a thing!

Great Music & Mud Pie!
Mary Kate HarkreaderJanuary 15, 2012
Well, the cot chowder was awesome, but the band (Trigger 5) was mediocre at best.
Michele JohnsonNovember 10, 2011
DAMN. I can't believe you all aren't here for this!!!!

This place smells like soup
