I'll start by saying the 2 Stars are completely for the food. Now, on with the review…read more Happened to be in the area and the husband saw this place. We went in for lunch. It appeared from the start that service wouldn't be great, but the hoped it was a fluke upon entering. It was not. We ordered the pulled pork, the wings, the baked beans and the Mac & cheese. The pulled pork would have been good if it had been even remotely hot. The baked beans were good. The wings were good. The Mac and cheese was a thick velveeta type, with a LOT of black pepper (which was the overall taste of the dish) , as well as something else that that gave it a spicy taste, and I was not a fan. The part of this place that was the biggest issue was the service. The Server was not remotely friendly. It was a very uncomfortable atmosphere and made lunch one of those "let's hurry up and get out of here" processes. After a quick bit we asked for the check, which was brought over by an another employee and literally dropped onto the table. Like with a thud! He said not one word. But other than asking what we'd like, answering a question, and asking if we needed anything at one point in a non smiling monotone, that's basically the attitude of the Server we'd had also. So no idea why we were shocked. Needless to say that we will not ever, ever be returning. I think it's important to note that service counts. To many of us, it counts as much as the actual food. I'm one of those people. Customers should feel welcome or wanted at the least. The very least. There are several other options near this place. We will do ourselves a favor in the future, and try one of those.

If you are ever near Mandeville and need some super tasty BBQ then look no further than Sticks!…read more I've only visited Sticks once, but I was definitely blown away by how tasty everything was. Below are a few highlights from my first visit. MEATS: I tried both the brisket and sausage. Both were super tasty. I didn't eat all the sausage, so I took the rest home to reheat for later. It was even better reheated! The barbecue sauce that they serve for their smoked meats is super tasty! So, if you take leftovers home, be sure to ask for some extra sauce to go. SIDES: I tried two sides on my visit---the potato salad and greens. Both were pretty tasty, but the potato salad was especially out-of-this-world!! APPETIZERS: Yeah, I know it's weird that I'm reporting on appetizers last, but I visited Sticks at lunch the day of an LSU game. So, I ordered a "to go" order of 6 grilled wings for later! Don't you just love grilled or smoked wings? They are so much better than the fried ones that so many restaurants serve. I wish many more restaurants understood that grilled (or smoked) wings are superior! No batter, no frying.... just a really good basting! And, yes, later that night, I ate the hell out the 6 wings I got "to go," dousing them in Sticks' homemade BBQ sauce and Blue Cheese dressing. They were finger-licking good!! Try Sticks if you live nearby or are traveling through. You will certainly be pleased.

The jambalaya has just the right kick, the macaroni is rich and creamy, and the baked beans have that perfect smoky sweetness. Honestly, I could go on and on about the food because everything I've tried has been consistently delicious and made with care. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. The portions are generous, the service is always friendly and welcoming, and the overall experience keeps me coming back. Every penny is absolutely worth it. If you want real, flavorful BBQ and good Southern cooking, this is definitely the spot.

Again everything was truly great, with amazing smoke flavor but not too much! It was so good we decided to get The Kick Off Deal for my daughter & her family because she had a Cochlear Implant done today. She and my son-in-law both have called to tell me how good it was since then. We even brought a pound of chopped brisket & a full rack of ribs home for our house.

My wife and I live in Kenner and have been enjoying lunch once a month for many years with another…read morecouple who live on the North Shore. We have our favorites on both sides of the lake, but I recently read some great reviews somewhere online about Crazy Pig Southern Kitchen with locations in both Mandeville and Covington. After speaking with our friends we decided to dine at the Covington location of Crazy Pig Southern Kitchen. Inside the entrance, the restaurant posts their policy that you will not be seated at a table until all parties have arrived, which is understandable considering the huge amount of business they have. My wife and I arrived before our friends who were running a little late. The Hostess, Jill, asked me how many in our party and I told her four, but the other couple was running late and would be arriving in about 20 minutes. We took a seat in the empty waiting area inside the entrance. The restaurant appeared to have only one or two empty tables available inside when I arrived on a beautiful day. Five to ten minutes later the waiting area was full (approx. ten people). The restaurant was extremely noisy with all their customers enjoying their meals and conversing with friends/family. I noticed that there were approximately ten tables located in front of the restaurant in a beautiful covered patio, so I asked Jill if we could have a table outside once our friends arrived in about five more minutes because one of them was somewhat physically handicapped. There was only one empty table in the patio at the time. Jill explained that since she had a reservation in the patio for a party of eight that would be arriving soon, so she had been holding it for another available outside table to put together to accommodate this party. However, she said she would gladly give us the table. By this time, the waiting room was full of people and overflowing outside the entrance. I had given my seat to a lady and stepped outside to wait for my friends, who I noticed had arrived and parking their car. I told Jill and she seated us at the table in the patio. The four of us ordered different things on the menu, which were fantastic. Although the restaurant was packed, the waitress AND Jill visited our table several times to ensure we were enjoying our meals. Crazy Pig Southern Kitchens' ambiance, service, menu items (along with portion sizes) and prices were absolutely astounding. We were all very impressed and grateful for a beautiful dining experience. Special thanks to Jill who was abundantly pleasant to deal with. Crazy Pig Southern Kitchen certainly placed Jill in the right position.
