The food was also a big hit. We had apps and entrees and honestly the appetizers could be meals on their own. The BLT was amazing. Fried green tomatoes with pork belly and tomato jam and pimento cheese had the best flavors. The cornbread!!! Wow. So good. We want and need the recipe. Definitely order this!!! Also try the fried chicken. It's so different than any fried chicken over ever had. Not greasy at all. And it warms up well as leftovers too. The taste is sweet and juicy. My buddy had the meatloaf and it was tasty and different but paired with the mashed potatoes it was a home run!!! The only suggestion I can make is for the old fashioned drink. Used a single large ice cube next time. The loose ice cubes melted quickly watering down the drink.

It's tough to leave without spending $20+/person, and more is easy. This is a neighborhood bistro, if with tough parking. People hover trying to get spots, and it's popular. Why OK and not good? It's gotten tired. It's not quite a caricature of itself, frozen in time. There is nothing bold, only occasionally novel. That's not to say it's flavored badly, doesn't use good ingredients, but it feels somewhat manufactured. Perhaps this review is the contempt bred from familiarity. It's not awful, can seat many, and is clean with good service. It lacks panache, but charges for it.

Food was good, music was fantastic; parking... horrible. I can't give 5 stars due to the parking! The Jazz Kitchen has been here for decades. They need to work out some parking! Honestly, thats the only reason why I think twice about coming to a show here, only due to the parking. The service was Great! I love vibe, just hate the parking.

My eye went to the Bee Sting Burger but I didn't want to waste it because I knew I couldn't eat it all. However my partner talked me into ordered it and I'm so glad I did. This burger is amazing.

Coming in on a Thursday night, we experienced a bit of a rush for seating but we were sat quickly enough and then got our subsequent service fairly quickly as well. This location I think is cozier than others, where it's more sectioned off into a couple different areas with a family friendly area at the front and the bar area a little more separated. We got a nacho to start. It is huge. It can be a whole meal. We accidentally made it most of ours! I got a sweet plum burger as my main dinner. I had about half of it for dinner and saved the rest for later. I didn't think it was anything super special since the sweet plum sauce doesn't really come through in the way I would have hoped. For dessert, we got a strawberry and vanilla ice cream. I wish we could have tried the brownie, but the snow storm of Jan '26 probably made supply chain difficult. Altogether, under devour, starter, 2 mains, and dessert was $40. Pretty good deal if you ask me! I'd certainly come again!

I don't need much, usually I just put salt on before cooking steak. Also asked for medium rare and it came out medium. Not sure if the steak knife I got was dull or because the steak was over cooked but it was hard to cut. Also the sweet potatoes were under cooked. Majority were still hard. Overall disappointed and won't be ordering this again. The only star/positive was bartender and the lovely dirty martini with blue cheese stuffed olives. Service was good per usual sitting at the bar.

The Brussels sprouts are an absolute triumph: perfectly blistered with a caramelized exterior and tender interior, dressed in a harmonious balance of bright acidity and savory depth. Little crunchy bits and a subtle smoky char add texture, while a finishing sprinkle (and a hint of something sweet-salty) elevates them from simple side to a show-stealer. The Korean salmon is equally impressive. The fish arrives flaky and moist with a richly glazed crust that carries sweet, spicy, and umami notes in perfect proportion. Layers of flavor -- gochujang-forward heat, sesame brightness, and a touch of citrus -- play against the salmon's natural richness without overpowering it. It's plated thoughtfully, with complementary sides that keep each bite balanced. If you're at Big Lug Canteen, don't pass up those two dishes -- they demonstrate skilled technique, bold yet nuanced seasoning, and a real sense of care in the kitchen. Great food, relaxed atmosphere, solid value. Highly recommended.
