★★★☆☆ 3.0 Nyor Mirror · Dec 2025

My son and I were seated immediately when we came in on a weekday during dinner time at the sparsely filled restaurant. I had a cup of the lukewarm, average Gulf seafood gumbo for an appetizer. We also shared undercoated, under-fried pickles. My jacka$$ wrap was good. My son’s medium Texas squealer came out well done. We both enjoyed our local craft beers, chosen from the National and local craft and domestic beers menu. Bar and low-top seating with a sports bar theme. Good service. Competitive pricing. 3.5% credit card fee. A local we spoke with said they have a better brunch and a new cook in the evening. We wouldn’t come back for dinner.

We went here for lunch on a Wednesday and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Servers were super fast and efficient. They could not have been better. Both ladies that helped us were super kind and fun. My wife had the champion burger, which was excellent! I had a bowl of seafood gumbo, which was the best I’ve had in Louisiana, Mississippi, or Alabama! The chili here was pretty good too. I also had a bowl of that. Service was fast and friendly as mentioned before, and the food was outstanding. We plan on returning to this wonderful bar and restaurant.

Food was amazing. Service was ok. Basically waitressed by 1 bar tender, so if you want a refill on anything, or salt, etc. you'll have to head to the bar. But the food is A-maze-zing. My wife was angry the appetizer was so good because she could only eat half her meal 🤣🤣. I'm pretty sure they have perfected the sweet potato waffle fries. I've never tasted one better in my life. And those beignets..... they should be a national treasure. We got them to go, and when we opened the box at home they didnt look anything like a beignets....honestly I dont care what they look like, they are heaven in you mouth.

The staff are attentive and leave nothing to be desired. They had great recommendations and kept our drinks filled and the kitchen was quick and food came out hot and just as ordered. I had the blind mule shrimp pasta and she had fried pickles and a chicken Caesar salad. Previous visits the shrimp and grits were the best I've ever had. The atmosphere was filled in with music and voices from the other customers cheerfully talking over dinner. Thanks for a great evening out!
