    Pretty much every dish I sampled was excellent. I must add: the Bourbon Stout Float is a phenomenal addition to any meal, so if you're a fan of bourbon, stout, or ice cream, give it a try.

    jalapeño mac n cheese is sooo good you can taste the spice at first bite, the melted cheese on top has the perfect amount of crispiness and burnt flavor... and the noodles are perfectly al dente

    Was having a drink while waiting for a table at Puritan and Co. And decided to just grab food here. What a delightful surprise! Fried chicken and the trout were great! Lovely service at the bar :-)

    Pork belly corn dog, pimento cheese and crackers and the triple fried wings - awesome. The fried chicken is so crunchy it rattled my brains - Delicious. Finish off with chocolate bourbon pecan pie.

    Had the pimento and saltine app & blackened catfish entree. What an incredible meal; the low-key ambience with the phenomenal food makes for a very special dining experience.

    Go on Thursday nights for the cheap date special! You get cornbread, an appetizer, cheese grits, an entree & dessert to share with another person! All so delicious and $30 total.

    Dishes such as etouffee, gumbo, and barbecue chicken satisfy without breaking the bank. Elvis surely would have approved of the ultra-tender daube of beef with hominy mashed potatoes. Read more

    A must go for Sunday Brunch! Sit at the bar and chat with the amazing bartender and order the chicken and waffles! Finish off with one of the many mimosas they have to offer.

    The maple syrup that comes with the fried chicken & waffles is the buttery stuff that chub club dreams are made of. Also yum, the grits, the turkey meatball appetizer, gumbo...really, everything rocks

    Two must-try sides: the jalapeno mac and cheese; and the house pickle, which is not just a pickled cucumber but a bunch of spicy, pickled vegetables, including cucumbers. Mmmmm.

    The gumbo is so damned incredible. Available both at Sunday brunch and throughout the week, it has become a dining-out staple for everyone I know who tries it. Eat.

    Amidst the New Orleans fare are some fine steak frites. Make sure to sample the pie for dessert. And if you dress as an Elvis imitator, they'll probably give you a free dish. Read more
