Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Block offers "amazing food" with standout dishes like shrimp and grits, and short ribs. Patrons praise the "great service" and lively atmosphere, enhanced by a live DJ. It's a popular choice for brunch and pre-DSO concerts, though some find it "too loud." Ideal for a vibrant dining experience.

    The shrimp and grits were top notch as was the short ribs. The food had great flavor and the portions were large. Our waitress was efficient, friendly and entertaining. An excellent choice before a show at The DSO. Highly recommended.

    Absolutely loved The Block. Went with my friends on a Saturday morning for brunch. The DJ was popping, the food was amazing, and the service was impeccable. I would definitely go back again, no questions asked.
