Fried fish Mac n cheese and greens
Laura H.

I was in the mood for some fried catfish and some delicious sides and that's exactly what I got! This place deserves all of the stars! Their customer service was great! I was greeted as soon as I walked through the door. It took me a minute to review their menu because they offer so many delicious options! Once I was sure of what I wanted, I ordered at the counter and it didn't take very long for them to prepare my order to go. Once your order is ready, they open the container in front of you so that you can see what you ordered and confirm it's correct. They then give you your container and let you bag it yourself with all of the condiments you could think of. The dining area is small and cozy and very clean! I ordered the fried catfish & two sides. I had the mac n cheese and greens. All of it was delicious! The fish was fried fresh and seasoned really well. The mac n cheese was cheesy and had a great flavor. The greens were also very delicious. It tasted like it was cooked with some type of turkey neck or something really good! I'm so fat full now and I can't wait to visit them again and try something else on their menu.

Turkey necks. Cabbage. Mac n cheese. All very good.

I found this on yelp, the 5 stars intrigued me. I pulled up and met Mr Skip. A very funny guy, who aided me through picking something good to eat. Customer service is spot on. The cornbread was fluffy, so light and buttery and melts in your mouth. The turkey necks were really good. Cabbage and Mac were solid. I will definitely be back to get something different. The specials change daily and they also have standing menu items. I plan on returning soon. This was a really good dinner. The inside is very clean and it seems like this place is fairly new. Or renovated. It's nicely setup inside.

This has become my go-to place to take friend visiting from out of town. This place is what starts their trip off with 5 stars. The food is phenomenal. The service is personable. The aesthetic is cute and homey. I found this place on Yelp (of course) and the high rating instantly drew me in. It is so rare to find a place with a 4.9 rating with more than a handful of reviews so I had to try this place. The last time I went, I had the smothered porkchops with cornbread dressing and mac and cheese. The porkchops were so tender that I could cut through them with a fork, snd they were so flavorful that the didn't need to be drowned in gravy! My first bite of the cornbread dressing transported me back to my childhood like the food critic in Ratatouille. The mac in cheese was heavenly. Ir came with a square of cornbread that was buttery and sweet, just the way I love my cornbread to be. When I placed my order at the counter, the gentleman manning the front if the house informed me that the porkchops weren't quite ready. I told him I was fine with waiting and the wait was worth it! This place has good, down-home food cooked with care and consideration. It's a winner.

Friday Special-  Seafood Creole Gumbo
Jade G.

Ordered the Seafood creole gumbo & a fried ribs plate for takeout. Each item was delicious and fresh. I haven't been going out to eat because so many restaurants have been mediocre to say the least or the only seasoning they know is salt. Glad I saw this place and finally decided to oder lunch. I didn't get their names but the customer service was warm and welcoming. I felt like I and my food was in good hands. They had the cake parfaits sitting on the counter and I couldn't resist. The woman behind the register made sure to let me know they also had homemade banana pudding when I considered the banana pudding parfait. That'll be a treat for my next visit. I look forward to returning.

Usually I'm at least a little disappointed or underwhelmed by their food picks, but this time they proved their taste buds are actually pretty solid. The beer-battered fries were FIRE. Not a single soggy fry on my plate. And the 7 oz. burger? Cooked to a perfect medium-rare, with all those delicious juices spilling out in every bite... DIVINITY. The location itself was super cute--very Southern charm tucked into the middle of such an urban city. Our waitress handled all seven of us like a pro, kept everything moving, and somehow found that perfect balance of being attentive without constantly hovering. P.S. half of my coworkers ordered their craft burgers and the other half went with their pizzas--pretty solid choice. Crust was sourdough and the toppings were varied. The tops were DUCK AND BALSAMIC, SAUSAGE AND BURRATA, PEAR AND BLEU

Recently she had an afternoon appointment and I was able to swing by and join her. When her appointments were completed, it was in the beginning of peak traffic time, so we decided to walk over to DS and have a bite to eat and catch up This space is so open as well as cozy. Soon as you enter, you head straight to the counter to order. From there, you're given a number and choose your seat. Booth and table options are available. On a Thursday afternoon, the place wasn't busy but not empty, which gave my Mom and I the opportunity to catch up without a noisy dining room. The food came out fresh and hot and for the price, we were surprised by the portion since its was the $10 HH burger and fries. The fountain drinks were interesring as well. DS does not have Coke or Pepsi products. They have similiar flavors you would find with those brands. I enjoyed the Mexican Coke. It seemed to not be as fizzy aa your own well know caffenated Compadres but still carried a great flavor. Let me not skip over the dessert! Mom LOVED the pecan pie which she states had whole pecans instead of pieces. I did not wven notice that she had been getting pieces of the pie as we talked. Half of it was gone when we left. That means is pretty scrumptous! I had enough willpower to eat my chocolate chip cookie when I got home and it was worth the wait! Not only is the cookie huge, but the semi sweet chocolate and sea salt is chef's kiss. Grat combo of both worlds. Combine that with the crunchy outisude and chewy, gooey interior and this is one of the best cookies I've tasted in a long time. So glad to dish all this goodness to Yelpers and remind them of another gem in West U that will not only give you a great place to get a bite but satisfy that sweet tooth.

I stopped by with my buddy on a Thursday evening close to 9 p.m. Free parking was a cinch in the parking lot they share with several other businesses. Service (4.5/5): You order at the counter and then they bring your food out to you. The lady who brought me my food checked on me twice and was super nice. She called me "sweetheart," a little Southern hospitality goes a long way. Ambiance (4/5): Modern, clean, and comfortable. In line with other Dish Society locations I've been to. We sat at a booth/table combo. Drinks (4.5/5): I love when a restaurant has more than your standard selection of soft drinks. You'll find that at Dish Society. They have "craft" sodas and a nice selection of juice blends. Plus sweet and unsweet tea. Food (4/5): I went with a cup of the tomato bisque soup and the Nutella French toast. The soup tasted as good as it looked. Some croutons or a piece of garlic bread would have been nice, but outside of that, this starter couldn't have been better. The Nutella French Toast was similarly well done. I love French Toast and I love Nutella. So this was a match made in heaven. Along with some sliced strawberries and some blackberries, I was happy I went with a breakfast dish for dinner (they serve brunch all day). The prices are affordable for the quality of the food. My only complaint? The portion sizes are pretty small. Case in point: two slices of French toast when most places will give you four. Pro tip: Join their club for discounts.

It made me feel like I took a trip back in time where community was strong, food was made with love and the table was where everyone caught up on life. There is a full bar and is a steady but not overwhelming crowd for Friday brunch. It was our first time and went to celebrate my mom's birthday. Mimi was our server and she was AMAZING. Because there are no pictures on the menu, she gave very detailed visual descriptions of the meals we were interested in. She did not steer us wrong. We ordered the kids burger, catfish and grits with shredded oxtail and chicken and waffles. All exceeded the expectation and left us with full bellies. The portions are larger than normal but not too much where there is waste or leftovers (at least for us). The waffles are sweet potato and they were very tasty. I'm not a fan of sweet potato waffles because many times they are grainy-like and the texture isn't pleasing. However, these waffles were light and perfectly cooked. It came with bourbon maple pecan syrup that complimented the flavor of the waffle. The chicken and catfish were fried to perfection and the oxtail was tender. It's a pricier place for brunch. We didn't mind because we were celebrating mom's birthday. I will definitely return for a trip to the bar and for the food for special occasions. Overall, 10 out of 10.

Apparently this place prefers you make reservations. Food was good but lacking for the price point we paid. I get it, there's costs associated with running a restaurant. But it was lackluster. Croissant French toast tasted like pan toasted croissant with a dust of powdered sugar. Oxtail omelette needed more cheese and more than 3 strands of pickled onion to give it balance and dimension. People come to restaurants to have a good experience but it was just strange vibes tbh with the staff complaining and venting to each other. Don't do it in front of the customers.... It's not a good look. Also not cool how the server/bartender preselected for us what percentage for us to tip on the tablet. Anchoring like that's not going to make us want to give you any bigger of a tip. Just feels like they see you as a walking moneybag. I feel conflicted writing this because I know we're all human just doing our jobs and getting through the day, but this was my experience.

The food was delicious all around. The fried pork chops were perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, and tender and juicy on the inside. They were served with creamy mashed potatoes, flavorful gravy, and fresh green beans that were cooked just right. The pot roast was fall-apart tender, rich with flavor, and served over mashed potatoes with perfectly cooked vegetables. We also enjoyed the roasted Brussels sprouts, black-eyed peas, and the hot skillet cornbread, which was fresh, buttery, and absolutely worth ordering. The kids loved their meals too! The hamburger was cooked well, and the chicken tenders were crispy, juicy, and definitely kid-approved. The strawberry lemonade was refreshing, flavorful, and the perfect complement to the meal. The restaurant was clean, welcoming, and had a warm, family-friendly atmosphere. Thanks to my sister-in-law and her husband for introducing us to this gem. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town!

When we arrived, the host let us choose where we wanted to sit. I originally spotted a cozy booth by the window, but since we were asked if we'd like to sit where we could watch the TV during the Cup match, we opted for one of the high-top tables instead. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a mistake because there isn't any lighting at the high tables. We could barely see our food. Adding pendant or drop-down lighting above those tables would make a huge difference. If you plan to visit, I'd recommend requesting a regular table or booth for better lighting. The menu is definitely unique, though I found it somewhat limited compared to other seafood restaurants.To start, I ordered the roasted oysters while my friend had a dozen raw oysters with all the traditional fixings. The roasted oysters were delicious, but there was so much topping that it almost took the shine away from the oysters themselves. Next time, I'd ask for lighter toppings and no scallions. For my entrée, I had the Halfshell Grilled Redfish. The fish itself was cooked beautifully--moist, flaky, and perfectly prepared. The only downside was the chermoula, which leaned far too heavily on the citrus. The lemon flavor completely overpowered the fish. As my side, I ordered the Chicken and Andouille Sausage Gumbo. Unfortunately, it had a distinct burnt taste, which made it seem like the roux had been overcooked. A good gumbo should have a deep, rich flavor, but this one was overshadowed by that burnt note. My friend ordered the Jerk Fish Collars, and we both agreed they would have been much better if the fish had been marinated to allow the jerk seasoning to really penetrate. I also ordered a Lemon Drop Martini, and I have to admit I was surprised when it arrived in such a tiny martini glass, especially considering the price. Overall, the quality of the seafood is evident, and the restaurant has a great atmosphere. I think a few adjustments to the lighting, better balance in some of the flavors, and more attention to details like the gumbo and cocktail portions would elevate the experience even further. I'd definitely return to try more of the menu and hope for a more polished experience next time.

We looked at other reviews before going and went with an app we didn't hear much about, but an entree that we did hear amazing things about. Appetizer: everyone talks about the dilly bread but honestly, the puff puff pass sounded better, esp the scotch bonnet aioli. 10/10 loved the flavors together, esp the fried bread with the aioli Entrees: we had the pork belly special and the nono's pasta. Everyone raves about the pasta and rightfully so. The noodles with the right amount of bolognese was such a flavorful comfort food. The pork belly was also delicious but the pasta hit better. Dessert: of course i had to get both! We got the famous olive oil cake and their banana rum cheesecake. We didnt taste much banana unfortunately but the cheesecake was tasty.

I could eat the butter by the pint. The fingerlinging potato dish is also a must have...pretty small for $19 but tastes like heaven. Spicy!

The chicken dinner was definitely the winner--fresh, juicy breast, crispy skin...don't be cute, you won't finish it unless your party has at least 4 in it! The flies were ruthless! Very annoying! They were acting like the geekers that come bother you just outside your favorite fried chicken joint in south Dallas! Our waitress brought out a table fan so that made the experience a little more tolerable. The chocolate peanut butter pie tasted like a salt rock and the lemon chiffon pie had great flavor but not lemony enough for me. All in all this place is a bit pricey but truly a gem!

Want to start by saying I loved the atmosphere. Loved being able to sit at a bar, loved the music, and service was superb. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Catfish was pretty good. It had the perfect crunch and a plentiful portion so no complaints. Sides were good but not something I'd rave about. The étouffée was pretty solid but the Brussels could've been better. Maybe seasoning them a little more, cutting them in halves, and charring them would've done the job. Peach cobbler was so yummy. I loveeeee how they have offer for preferences with the peach cobbler (more crust, more filling, or neutral) because I personally love more crust. Kool aid was good but could stand to be just a tad bit less sweet with more flavor. All in all if you have a catfish craving and want good vibes and service I'd 1000% endorse this spot.
