Stopped in near closing with the kids. Staff was really nice about it, didn&#39;t rush us. The pasta was good, kids cleaned their plates. 👍

The pulled pork grilled cheese was spot on, really flavorful. Their sweet potato fries are top-notch. I had a nice glass of red with it, a solid pairing for the richness. A bit on the pricier side for a sandwich, but the quality&#39;s there.

The mushroom risotto was my pick. Really appreciated the fresh, earthy mushrooms and the creamy texture. The yuca fries were a nice crispy side. It&#39;s good to see thoughtful vegetarian choices on the menu.

We had our birthday dinner in the private room. Josh was our server and really took care of us. The food was thoughtfully prepared, everything tasted great. Made for a nice night out.

The donuts are definitely bigger than most, which helps justify the price. But what really stood out to me was the freshness. You can tell the ingredients are high-quality. The texture was just right, not too heavy. A nice treat.

The live singer was fantastic! Totally made the night. We got a few sushi rolls to share and they were all really fresh and tasty. Just a chill, fun spot to hang out with friends.

Been coming here for years. The tamale is the reason. It&rsquo;s always just right&mdash;moist masa, flavorful filling. That consistency keeps me coming back. The rest of the menu is fine, but I&rsquo;m here for that one dish.

The blackened shrimp and crawfish on the Evangeline salad were spot on. The fried green tomatoes were a nice touch too.

Tried the &quot;Not So Slim&quot; burger with grilled cheese buns. It&#39;s a fun idea, tastes good. The hand-cut fries and onion rings were solid. A bit messy to eat, but that&#39;s part of it.

The papaya salad is huge, seriously. Ordered it for a group lunch and it was way more than enough. For what they charge, you get a massive tray. Good if you&#39;re feeding a few people.

Been coming here for years. The soft serve is always spot on, and the price is right. Nice to grab a cone and sit outside on a warm evening. Staff&#39;s always friendly, too.
