Since I'm a fan of Happy Hour we gave their menu a try! Beer and mixed drink specials and half price Appetizers. The spiked lemonade was a hit but the food!!! Their fried okra took me back in time to when my grandma cooked it for me! The best southern side dish! And the fried green tomatoes were served on a little spread of grits and sauce that was so delicious and creative! Great presentation and perfect for the taste buds! Our service was friendly and fast! All in all, I will return!

I thought it was a decent in value in terms that there was a lot of food and I left very full. However in terms of quality definitely wasn't close to best I've had in the area. I thought everything was on the dry side. The biscuits, chicken, Brussels, and even mashed potatoes were dry. And more so from an overcooked standpoint than anything else. Because the flavor was decent - I thought the Brussels tasted good, the seasoning on the chicken was good, and the mashed potatoes had flavor. It was just overdone and dry. Overall it was filling and had potential, and I'd be willing to go back. But also, I think there are better options in the downtown area

First, wife is a vegetarian and they had no mains other than Mac and cheese for her. She ordered the salad without chicken which was $25. They knocked it down to $22 after I asked why it was the same price without meat, which still seemed like a lot for a salad with no protein. Kids' Mac and cheese was not the same receipe as last time; it was a different noodle and seemed to be needing some salt as it was pretty bland. Unlike our last visit they did not include an ice cream for dessert. My fried chicken and waffles was ok--the breading was a bit soggy though and I much preferred the Nashville hot chicken from my last visit. If I'm being honest this was closer to a 2 star experience, but with how good the last visit was, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt they maybe tonight they were just off. That said--need one vegetarian entree for the menu.

I love a good deviled egg but this one was just okay, it lacked any flavor. I also saw people rave about the cinnamon roll but it was just okay and dry.

A lot of the items on the menu were a bit pricey for size/taste/quality but for a special occasion or date night could be worth it. Located off Blake St so parking is on the street, or garage if you prefer. There are some pull off areas where we saw many people being dropped off first.

The favorites are definitely the churro beignets and the truffle mac n cheese. The beignets were a great appetizer and dessert! The sweetness were a perfect level. The flavor of the goat cheese with the arugula with al dente noodles were amazing. The crab cake Benedict was good. I liked the crab cake but I dont think it needed the english muffin. It didnt add anything to the dish. I didnt care for the chicken fried steak. The breading was falling apart and the meat was pretty tough. I also didnt care for the chicken pimiento biscuit.

I'm originally from Virginia. I miss "home cooking", so I make an extra effort to hit places that…read morecan "scratch that itch". This was my 3rd visit here this year. I wanted to give the restaurant a chance especially since the owner worked hard after my first experience to make it right. I rate on a 1(awful) to 5 (amazing) scale. Ambiance: One of the cleanest restaurants I've ever been in. You can eat off the floors! Spacious and interesting interior. Loved the exposed brick. But the music was too loud & bumpin for a Sunday evening meal (in my opinion). Had to talk over it. Rating: 4.5/5 Food: I'm sensitive to profit margins and such. When I go to small businesses, I try not to ask for "extras". All I wanted was the fried pork chops with no gravy (they come smothered). The waitress said that wasn't possible. I asked why-all I wanted was for them NOT to put gravy on the pork-chops (I was going to get it on the side). She was adamant that wasn't possible and couldn't give me a reason why. Only thing I can figure is the pork-chops were pre-made and already smothered. So I got the fried chicken, cabbage, and yams with white bread. Cabbage was shredded (different than what I'm used to, but not bad.) Hot sauce gave them some flavor. Yams were very sweet, but I enjoyed them. Both portions of sides were TINY. Especially considering the a la carte price of over $5 per side. The fried chicken was...ok. Which is surprising since I always enjoyed their wings. Now, I was asked whether I wanted cornbread ot white bread. I said white bread & when I said white bread, I was expecting a roll. But I literally got four pieces of wonder bread. No butter either. I was going to get the Red Kool-Aide but they only had Blue. I understand, not a big deal and I even joked with the server about it. I settled for water. Then I saw the price for Kool-Aide: $4.50 and NO REFILLS!!! Egregious. I could see a limit on refills. But NO refills for $4.50??? IKYFL. Rating: 2/5 Service: MUCH improved since my first visit. I had a reservation, and arrived on time. I was greeted by the friendly hostess and sat immediately. But it went south with the previously mentioned pork chop issue. The server could've said "Let me ask if we can do that." No good reason and no attempt to see if anything could be done. No salt and pepper on the table and when I asked for some, I was given tiny packets. My glass was kept full of water by different people, all of whom were polite. But my waitress only came to the table after delivering our food once. The hostess actually cleared our table and brought a little machine over to take payment. No printed receipt, just reading the items from the machine and given a total. Strange and a little off-putting. I want to look at a paper receipt. But that's just me. No offer of dessert, just the bill and a thanks for coming. Rating: 2. Overall rating out of a possible 15, they earned a 8.5. A generous "2 Stars". Today was my birthday and I was really looking forward to it. I left disappointed. I eat at a lot of restaurants and take people to lunch at least 2x per week. I tend to take people to the same places when I can get a consistently good experience. This being my 3rd visit and I'm still not satisfied, I can't say I'll be back.

They also do bbq and I haven't had any in a while. I ordered the sampler with rib tips, burnt ends and fried shrimp. The grits were good and the catfish was light and crispy. The rib tips were coated in a sweet bbq sauce. Not my first choice but they were good. The burnt ends were tender. I also got to try the mini corn muffins - yummy, the mac and cheese - yummy, the yams - and the potato salad - bland. The owner told us it was his fault the potato salad wasn't good. He was a very friendly guy. Answered all our questions and spent time with us. It's always good to speak to the owner when you are from out of town. He's done a lot with the place. We would have gone another day to try other things but our schedule was tight. Everyone was happy with their choices. It's a nice place, live music on certain nights, lots of room.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEW DOGGY WAS THEIR FOOD GOOD!…read more I googled hush puppies and found this place. The hush puppies have a bit of a kick but they certainly satisfied my craving. My only complaint is the amount of salt added as they certainly didn't need it. Every thing that was fried came out nice and crispy. The shrimp were nice and large. My friend said the catfish had a hint of bacon. He certainly loved the fried green tomatoes. The baked beans were flavorful but personally, they don't need the ground beef. Sweet bay jeebus the Cole slaw. My goodness it was the best Cole slaw I've ever eaten and a refreshing bite with all of the rich foods. The owner was nice and attentive but the server could definitely use some training.

While I thought the crawfish etouffée was more just like a gumbo, the flavor was delicious, and it felt very authentically cajun, to me! The hushpuppies were crispy, flavorful and delicious. The drinks were strong-- love that they have ABITA. The only thing that lacked were the fries, but, whatever, they're just fries. We stopped in before a show at Ball Arena, and the service was quick, and friendly, and honestly, I can't wait to come back! Maybe I shouldn't give such a strong rating after just one authentically feeling dish, but I left me with high hopes for the rest of the menu. I'll report back.

I'll check this spot out again, whenever I'm in town and want a taste of home. I love that the owner is born and raised in new orleans, he brings NOLA to Colorado on a serious tip. The owner was so nice and down to earth. Mr. Henry was very welcoming; he felt like family. My friend and I started with the boudin balls, which tasted more like salmon croquettes, which would have been amazing as croquettes, but as boudin balls, we did not taste rice much at all, and no sauce was served with them. I was desiring some Crawfish ettouffe and they were completely out of that, so i settle for the pasta monica with shrimp, which looked nice, but was way too salty to enjoy. I tried to push through but if I had continue to, it would have burned my tongue. The po boys was great 10/10 the fried catfish was 10/10. fries was 20/10 perfect crisp and softness fillings. hurricane drink was a nice strong & sweetness, a ball was drop when salt was rim vs sugar, but nonetheless it was close to the best. I really want to try that sold out crawfish ettouffe next time i'm here. Thank you Josh for gifting me the blueberry cake that was very sweet!!! I love Mr Henry homemade signature dessert. (Not pictured) Rewards is offered here. military discount is honored here as well. I look forward to returning and exploring the menu; next Colorado visit.
