The drinks were so good and the fries were just what I needed at that moment. Our bartender was really cool and helped me decide on a mixed drink. I liked the decor and the vibe. I thought the restaurant out front was cute too. It had a 50s vibe with its decor. The Apothecary is not a big space, but you felt like you were the only ones there while enjoying your drinks. It was a fun night and I'd go back.

From the time we walked through the door the service was excellent! We were greeted with a smile and didn't have to wait. We were taken right to a table. The server came with a smile and got our drink order and food order. I don't think we waited 15 minutes for our order. It was hot and fresh and oh so good! We both got the lunch special grilled pork chops with 2 sides and a roll. The server kept checking on us to make sure we were good and if we needed anything and after we finished our meal the manager even came by to ask if everything was okay. I highly recommend The Iron Horse Grill!! 2 thumbs up and 5 stars

We started eating here probably 30 years ago when it was the OG. Mike always got the crawfish enchiladas and I got the habanero cream sauce pasta with grilled shrimp. He got fried shrimp tonight. The shrimp were jumbo and fried perfect. The "depot" fries are frozen crinkle cut. He subbed the Mac and cheese for the okra. It's more of a less sauce old fashioned Mac and cheese. I got my old habanero cream sauce pasta. It was served in the tiniest of bowls but the amount of food was good. Why not serve it in a normal sized dish? I would rather have the 4 jumbo shrimp they used to serve back in the day rather than the smallish medium shrimp. The sauce was thicker than I prefer but flavor was decent. I'll try something different next time. The cocktails were delicious. Again, the service and speed of things was incredible for a party of 17. My biggest negative was the music is ridiculously loud. Serving food to 17 people with that music was diabolical and we could not even visit. The group was great but the volume needs to be turned down. Def recommend for a large group but be prepared for music that is concert volume.

I visited Names and Faces on a Thursday after wrapping up some business at the FedEx next door. A…read morehelpful worker there recommended the spot, though she warned me to order quickly since they stop serving food at 3 p.m. before reopening the kitchen for the evening crowd. I arrived around 2:10 p.m. and was greeted warmly by Valerie, the bartender, who was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Tired of the usual fried chicken and fish options that dominate Mississippi, I asked for a recommendation. She suggested the BLT with grilled chicken and fries, which I happily ordered. Though there was a small crowd, everyone was kind, and I never felt rushed. Valerie checked in on me during my meal, ensuring everything was to my liking. I paired the sandwich with a beer, and the chicken was tender and juicy, making the sandwich quite filling. I finished my meal a bit after 3 p.m., and no one made me feel uncomfortable about the time. I've heard their happy hour on Wednesdays is pretty good, so I plan to come back then while I'm still in town to check it out. I'll update my review afterward!

Open after hours, The Walk In serves up cocktails, mocktails, wine, beer with or without the booze, and light bites. We ordered a Pupu Platter and I got a mocktail. The Pupu platter came with eggrolls, shrimp over rice, wontons, bulgogi skewers w/ peanut sauce and sliced beef. Portion was perfect for two people. The platter has a fire pit in the middle in case you want your beef cooked a little longer. I love this - one because it looks cool, but also when people like their meat different temperatures. This did get a little smoky after a while though. Drinks were cool. I love that they have so many mocktail /non booze beer and wine options along with the regular menu. My drink was okay, a little vinegary, but not bad. Overall, I love the vibe of The Walk In and the Pupu Platter was a great choice!

I Ordered a cup of seafood gumbo (no rice-hate rice in gumbo) and it was good. Just a tad too salty but it had plenty of shrimp and sausage and good flavor. Would definitely get that again. Ordered the Tres Leches French toast and decided I better get the half order due to the gumbo. It was two pieces of Texas toast so that was a good call, as I barely finished my plate. It didn't require syrup due to the chantilly cream and cherries. I really enjoyed the taste of it. The bacon was the thick kind, similar to Wrightes Bacon, and was cooked well too. I won't complain about service since it's a holiday. My server was actually pretty good but it did take a while for my food to come out. I'm glad I finally got to try the brunch at Hal and Mal's and look forward to trying other dishes.
