Last night I ordered the salmon salad and OH MY GOD - that may have been the most delicious salmon filet I've ever had. It was perfectly seasoned and cooked to my preference. I usually order the tuna salad, which is also excellent. Last night I made a couple modifications to my salad (no candied pecans and no sugarcane vinaigrette), but when I received my plate I noticed the fresh berries and cheese were also missing. I mentioned it to my waitress and she immediately acted to fix it. I had my plate back in maybe two minutes. Things like that sort of go with the territory when you start requesting modifications, so I didn't blame her at all. Will be back. Always!

Amazing brewery hidden in an industrial area-we took a detour off of the Tammany Trace Trail on our…read morebikes to find it. The barkeeper welcomed us, as well as the other regulars at the brewery! Great brew offerings. I had to have a root beer since I'm a lightweight when drinking & bicycling! We loved the vibe of this spot-we are now in the ChaFUNkta tribe!

Stopped by for a beer Friday afternoon. When we looked at it on Google, it said they were closed,…read morebut we went by anyway since we're in the area. Glad we did! It was a beautiful day to sit outside and enjoy a great beer. The place is dog friendly and the crawfish smelled great (they weren't ready yet or we'd have tried some). The staff was friendly and the beer was good. We'll be back next time we're in town.

This brewery was a great time! Got to enjoy a very good cover band while we were here (shoutout to…read moreThe Drunk Uncles, they killed it! ) The brewery also has some decent bar food that you order up front (where you order your drinks) and pick it up at the food truck once it's ready! The food truck was called Pie Eyed and you can find them on Facebook for more information and what they serve; we only saw the offered appetizers on this day atleast which were very good. The beer pretzel and fries were delicious! The brewery had plenty of beer to choose from as well, my favorite being Puppy Love! The brewery offered a small indoor seating area and a larger covered outdoor area where the band was playing. The brewery also offered dog friendly environments in the brewery including water bowls, a grass area right outside the fence, and even carabiner D clasps located on the outdoor tables, to hook your dogs leash onto so you don't have to hold their leash and can enjoy drinking your delicious beer! They did a good job with making it dog friendly AND convenient for the dog owners! Overall this is a great brewery and a great place to enjoy your time with friends, family, and your fur babies!

We've become regulars at Spoke and Barrel in Mandeville and we have never been disappointed. Today…read morewe lunched outdoors on the terrace with a party of six and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It was a great October afternoon overlooking the trailhead and the Louisiana ambiance was notable. Service was especially welcoming, with a server who well understood the menu and was eager to share her knowledge. We enjoyed a range of favorites, including specialty sandwiches, crispy Brussels sprouts, bib salad, Caesar salad with chicken, and some frosty brews. Although no one did dessert, there were several tempting ones available. Lots of good things going on here. Spoke & Barrel is highly recommended!

The menu isn't very large, but I'm looking forward to trying other things here! Will absolutely be back!

Wonderful place to grab a pint, flight, or a few beers to bring home! Happened to go on a Friday…read morenight before a ticketed event, but managed to grab a quick pint in the half hour before they closed for regular business. The interior is super cute with long tables with stools and smaller tables with chairs. There are even a few booths tucked away. Our bartender was super sweet and patient with us during out first visit and even helped us pick out beers that we might like. It's interesting to note how many other reviews note a plethora of IPAs - my guess is this is seasonal because there were lots of malty stouts in early March. I love a rotating menu, so this makes me excited to go back. I was between the Wendy Peffercorn and Field of Nightmares (I think? It was a chocolate peanut butter stout.). The bartender let me try both and it was hard to choose! I ended up with Wendy Peffercorn, but I definitely would have been happy with either. Looking forward to going back, maybe even for Trivia night on Tuesdays! FYI - this business participates in PubPass and even though their website doesn't indicate food service, it looks like they rotate pizzas of the day.

This place is great if you wanna chill with your friends and watch the baseball game or any sports…read more The seats are the kind of chairs you don't want to sit for a long time though. I feel like if they invested in their outside seating, it could be the spot. They also serve pizza and chips and canned soda. I don't believe they do brewery tours. But definitely a hidden gem.

You'll never mistake Pontchartrain Vineyards' tasting room for one of the distination wineries in…read moreNapa Valley. The building reminded me more of what I would encounter in northern Sonoma, to the west of Healdsburg, or further south in the Paso Robles region. The tasting room is a decent size, although as I was the only visitor at the time, it seemed quite large. Quite a different experience from trying to enter on a Saturday night of a Jazz'n in the Vines concert. There is a patio terrace next to the building which overlooks the vineyard. Since it was a blazing hot June afternoon, I stayed inside rather than sit on the patio. There were seven wines to taste for a modest $5 fee. Four were from sourced grapes (California), two were American/French hybrids grown on the estate and the final was from a native American cultivar, also grown on the estate. All vintages were between 2005 & 2007, except for the recently released Syrah/Cabernet blend which is a 2009. I liked the Roux Saint Louis (a white wine based on the Blanc du Bois grape) as a nice summer wine. The Rouge Militaire is based on the American Cynthiana/Norton (a native red grape). It's a heavier red wine, and still needs a little time to open up. John Seago, the winemaker is often behind the bar, in the tasting room, but was out working the fields on this trip.

The place has a relaxed vibe, friendly staff, and a solid lineup of beers that are clearly brewed with care. This time I had the $10,000 Paper Weight -- really good, smooth, and well-balanced. We closed things out with the Faux Grunge, which didn't disappoint either. Every visit just reinforces why we keep coming back. If you're into craft beer and want a laid-back spot with consistently great brews, Cypress Coast is worth the stop.

But there are some options for those just wanting to enjoy the atmosphere at the brewery and for those who prefer a cider or seltzer.
