   Food was solid but way over priced. They’ve recently raised their supper price and although the quality is there, the portions just don’t match the price. For snacks you each get one clam and one ritz cracker and the peanuts. We looked at each other and laughed when the salad arrived because the size was for one. The entree size and sides were fine but we had mentioned to our server we were considering adding the BBQ shrimp as it is one of my favorite dishes but we never had the opportunity to do so because she never checked back on us to see how we were doing or to ask if we wanted to add it after our snacks, which we would have. Once we finished our desserts they literally just dropped the check and walked away. Never asked us if we wanted coffee or tea with dessert, perhaps an after dinner drink. Didn’t ask if we were done, if we needed anything else, how was everything? Nothing. Just check dropped. It is such an unhospitable way to end a meal. Service was warm when we interacted with staff just lacking. We always tip at least 20% and still would have because it’s just who we are but you can definitely see where they are missing major marks of service because they know it already coming. Food was good and there are parts of it where they do seem like they really care but the lack of hospitality would probably keep us from returning given our check was $324 for two people.

   OMG, best bacon, and best pancakes I ever had! I’m so glad I got to eat at Burdell! Service was also excellent and the atmosphere is great.

   This place is "soul food" inspired, but kicks it up to a higher level. The sauces and details of execution make a world of difference. My favorites include the cornbread which came with "butter" that tasted sort of sour-cream like -- divine! We had two sets for the table and wound up ordering a third it was so scrumptious. I would have been happy with that and my white wine. Another favorite was the crispy onion and mushroom dish. I thought this was going to be like a typical tempura dish based on the looks of it, but the accompanying sauce is what made all the difference. It is some sort of maple and mustardy concoction -- sounds odd but it was heavenly. Like the butter that came with the cornbread, I would eat this sauce with anything. We also had the boiled peanuts, and again it is the tasty stew in which these are served that makes them next level. It's a mess to eat, but worth it. The Hoppin John red-eyed peas were also delicious, and I had the chicken for the entree. We probably ordered too much but there were so many small plates we wanted to share. By the time I got the entree, I was already satisfied, but that did not stop me from eating every last bite of the chicken, which had a very original presentation and excellent carrot sides. I suspect the desserts here are outstanding, but we were already stuffed, so that will have to wait for another occasion. I dinged them a star for service because there was an unusual slowness (even to getting our waters) and a forgotten drink order, but they comped us the drink which goes a long way in my book in terms of acknowledging mistakes. The wait staff were all very nice and ultimately attentive, but it does seem like there was some room for improvement in that area. I was concerned I would be underwhelmed with serving size because I had read critical reviews, but I am not sure what people are talking about. Maybe the connotation of soul food increases expectation of piles of food, but this was not exactly minimalist.

   They are severely short staffed - we waited ten minutes just to check in. Our main courses were very delayed in coming out of the kitchen. After asking to see a dessert menu, we were given the check. Honestly, I think they are so overwhelmed with excitement that they can’t keep up. I hope they can manage through the buzz and resume what I’m sure is a better service experience in a few months. We won’t be back until the service is fixed.

   Very well executed food, great seasoning! Bbq shrimp transports you to NOLA. Banging cornbread and don’t skip the salads.

   We’ve eaten here twice in the last month. The first time was wonderful. The second time was awful. On balance we won’t be coming back. We were so pleased at our first visit that we immediately booked a second visit to celebrate my wife’s birthday with our adult kids. The second time we were seated in an awful back room with no light. We sat there for fifteen minutes and were not offered water or drinks. Finally the hostess who had seated us wandered back into our back room and was surprised to see us sitting there with nothing; she offered us water. When our server finally arrived to take our order she was in a nasty mood. She was surly the entire evening … when we saw her, which was seldom. Then she bullied my wife into ordering more food than she wanted (she had ordered two appetizers and three sides and we were sharing a main. Since we’d eaten there a few weeks ago she knew this was plenty of food for her. Ended up with another main neither of us wanted). We were never given the opportunity to order a second drink which we did want. The food was ok but pretty limited. But the real problem was having a dark room no windows no visible servers and a surly server when she did (rarely) appear. In short everything that was so perfect in our first visit was absolutely horrible on our second visit. It put such a downer on our evening none of us could enjoy our gift exchange and cake at home.

    Excellent food and service, imaginative and great. Only downside is it 's quite loud. But terrific in every other way. The chicken liver waffle appetizer was insanely good.
