    The environment in the restaurant was welcoming, we were seated promptly and food was served on time, but it was pricey.

    It was difficult to find a place to park, our server was never around, never gave us refills or checked in. The food was not good. My salad had an avocado pit in it. This will be our last visit.

    We arrived on time for our reservation and we were promptly seated. Our server was at our table quickly and she was attentive during our entire visit. Our meal was prepared as requested and it was delicious. The cat head biscuits are very good and very large. We will definitely be back.

    I normally have a good experience. The food was okay. I felt rush to order and I don’t understand why because the place was basically empty. I plan to NEVER go back to this location. The crawfish on my platter were like crunchy baby chips. I asked for extra ketchup and the waiter told me it would be a $2.00 charge. At that point I was ready to leave because $2.00 for a sample cup of ketchup. I wanted my key lime pie but it I just couldn’t. I had just visit the Sugar Land location and had absolutely no issues.

    Breakfast before Hamilton! What a great breakfast, good menu, pancakes were a last minute add and probably the best thing we had. Service was really good, enjoyed the experience.

    Really great food! Wait staff on point. Hostess sat our party way to close to (2) 6 tops with unruly children who were screaming and shrieking loudly. Other than that I couldn't remember if music was playing due to noise. Defiantly will go back.
