Finally made it here for a meal -- was able to get a table after just an hour of waiting, no resys. Food was pretty solid and service excellent as well. Not sure if I'd go again for the food, but definitely a cozy and fun place to have a meal.

First restaurant dinner meal after a 1-month break from dining out. Had the potato soup, salad, and burger. Remembered the beets being a bigger cut the last time, but everything had a nice and clean taste. Definitely luck to live so close by.

In a place known for pig feet, I had the best chicken wings ever. Tender, full of flavor, a bit spicy, some peanut - it was divine. The slow cooked pigs feet was awesome as well. I definitely think it's worth going back sometime.

Even at 2:30AM, almost all the seats here were filled. Their raw bar always has good stuff and their chicken wings are decent, but I wish they had more of a beer selection. The sweet & spicy catfish entree was excellent and enough for two people.

This little BYOB spot has some really good fare for cheap. Their meats are so tender and well-seasoned and I loved their special dessert, a sort of cheesecake with honey. They make their pita fresh on-site twice a day. Owner is really nice, too.
