    We feel truly lucky to have discovered this gem! From start to finish, our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. The bottomless vodka bar, featuring in-house distilled vodka, was a real treat—smooth, flavorful, and the perfect way to kick off the evening. The tomato stack appetizer with shrimp was a delightful opener, with vibrant flavors and just the right touch of creativity. For the main course, the chicken and biscuits were so delicious they’ll definitely bring us back on our next visit to the Big Easy. A special shoutout to our server, Anyi, who was not only exceptionally friendly but also professional and attentive, making sure every part of our meal was perfect. We can’t wait to return!

    Although the food was lovely and our server was sweet, she was so busy that we hardly saw her and had to wait long intervals between getting drinks, ordering, etc.

    e shrimp boil- the flavor is on point, it's not your traditional boil because it doesn't have the traditional boil seasoning, but it's good. My son ordered the fried chicken sandwich- it's on a Texas toast and he lives that! He said the flavor is amazing and the chicken is soft (not chewy) and breading is crispy! The sauce is good. My other son ordered the skirt steak- it has good seasoning. It was cooked really good. The he side was fries and these are hand made! These are good! I say the ranch is great! The service is really good. My husband said he has had better old fashions, but it wasn't bad. The drink I got was yummy. Make your way over to this place and give them a try!

    The lamb chops and the osso buco were exceptional as always. The crawfish queso was kind of watery and the gumbo had a slight burnt tastes. My husband’s burger was cooked as ordered.

    We have had great experiences here many times. Unfortunately Mother’s Day was an awful experience. Our server seemed mad that we were sat at her table. She got upset that I took too long to choose a drink and just walked away without taking my drink order or any other orders. She didn’t come back to take our food or drink orders for a long time and the restaurant had filled up so it took forever to get our drinks and food. Our appetizers were brought to the wrong table because the runners didn’t know where any of the food was supposed to go. Multiple tried to give us food that wasn’t ours while we waited much much longer for our food than anyone around us including large parties, people seated after us, etc. The food came out burnt on some, almost completely raw on others. Nothing like it has been in the past. I felt that I couldn’t even tell the server because of her bad attitude. And the cherry on top— They gave the kids coloring pages but nothing to color or draw on them with so they had nothing to do during the extremely long wait for their food. Terrible service, terrible food, will not be going back after many years.

    We sat down to an 8:45 reservation and were told that the kitchen and bar were closing at 9:00. The food was good. The place was noisy. And we felt like we were keeping staff there waiting on us until we were done.

    Average place with average food and below average bar service. As a distillery we were expecting some great cocktail options and all they had were either fountain, pre-mixed cocktails or premade cocktails on bottles (old fashioned in a bottle - not good). Our server seemed to be less than happy to be working and while we were there late at night, we were rushed out the minute our meal was over. The place was cute but not sure I will return given the other options in the area.
