    The service was quick and to the point. The food tasted as it should. However, the cost was exorbitant for a burger. I am a small person and I could have eaten two of these burgers for the $14 bill.

    I think I am late to the party, but what a fun little dive bar tucked in NODA. There was plenty of parking near by and we decided to get burgers & fries. The fry basket is plenty to share between two people & the burger literally melted in my mouth - soooo good!! We also got the bbq nuggets, I was also very impressed by these. We will be back to try some other things on the menu, overall a great experience!!!

    Overpriced by delicious. I met a friend here for lunch. I ordered the Cobra Kai burger (everything is served a la carte). It was 12 dollars for a burger about the size of a McDonald's cheeseburger. It was absolutely delicious, but I couldn't quite wrap my head around the cost for such a small burger. I absolutely loved the decor and the vibes of the restaurant. It's a really eclectic place. The service was speedy, but the kitchen was kinda slow. If the prices matched the portion size and everything wasn't individually priced, it would be a 5 star.

    We shared the loaded fries and some wings as apps and they were great. The cowboy burger was yummy as well. Great service.

    Good god these burgers were delicious. Cannot recommend highly enough. I had a Cowboy with cheddar jack and their loaded fires. Got a spicy margarita which was also good. Service was quick and friendly. It is definitely your dive bar atmosphere, but love seeing all the stickers and messages throughout the restaurant. Will definitely be back for the burgers.

    The burger option drew us in to this burger and bar spot in NoDa. It's right next to the Firehouse and 4 firefighters were enjoying lunch at the next table. They have about 10 beers on tap, lots of cans, and liquor at the bar. They have plain burgers, 8 specialty burgers, and daily specials. I really enjoyed the heat from the Kobra Kai burger. We also got a basket of fries and I took the staff's suggestion of dipping them in their delicious sauce of mayo, garlic, and onion - great suggestion! This is a a great spot for a quick and casual burger and beer in NoDa.

    Billy Jack's is one of those NoDa spots that just hits. It's a bar atmosphere, so great if you're just trying to chill, drink & eat good food while hanging out with your friends. If you're looking for a quiet spot to have great conversation with a friend, this isn't the place for you hahaha. It's pretty loud, but I love that kind of environment! The food is also pretty solid! I've had a few things on the menu, but what stands out to me is the waffles with sticky nuggs. A solid combo that will fill you up. Only reason I deducted a star is because it is kind of late night, bar food, not necessarily top notch cuisine. But stop by late at night when you got the munchies and you won't be disappointed in the service or the food!

    Good food and nice bar. Lots of beer and tasty burgers. There is a daily special each day. I'll have to find a way to get there midweek to try some of the other specials.

    We always have the BEST time here! Service by Erik is more than just a server, it's an experience. If you're local or new to town, this the place to be!!

    Stoped into BillJack's Shack for a snack last weekend, and enjoyed some delicious and wildly messy nachos...after all, are nachos and good if they're not messy? They load up a plate of their hose made potato chips with BBQ pork, mac and cheese, white Alabama sauce, onions and bacon! So many delicious flavor all culminating into one. The interior was packed full, but they had some open seating on their covered patio. Fun, eclectic atmosphere. Waitstaff was friendly and quick. Nachos were great, I'd definitely try other items if I'm ever in the area again!

    Cheeseburger and Sweet Fries

    The burger and fries were soooo good! This was my first time stopping in for a quick beer and I decided to grab some food as well. It was a Saturday night, there was a cute little crowd, nothing too crazy. The bartender was so friendly and super fun. We chatted for the time I was there since I sat at the bar. The music was good too. The burger was super juicy and flavorful and the sweet potato fries and special sauce omgggg! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I'll definitely be back!

They have cornhole and ping pong and just a fun atmosphere out there. Our server was warm and attentive. We did not have to wait for refills and she was quick to answer any questions we had. We started with a few apps - the chips and onion dip and the pigs in a blanket. The chips were well salted and the onion dip was DELISH!!! The pigs were wrapped in homemade party dough and came with a honey mustard crème fraiche. They were so good!! For entrees we tried the fried chicken, prime rib dip, and the meatloaf. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and perfectly seasoned. The mashed potatoes were so good too. The only misstep on this dish was the biscuit. Way too dense and not very flavorful. The prime rib dip was tender and came on the most crispy bread. What a great combo! The only thing that wasn't great were the fries, just nothing too special. The meatloaf dish was flavorful and came with those yummy mashed potatoes so great pairing. We didn't have room for dresser on site but we did take the monkey bread to go and enjoyed it later. Good portion size and full of apple and caramel flavor. Did not regret taking that home!! Really looking forward to this spot opening closer to home. Highly recommended

I went and asked what was happening and the staff was dismissive and had no ability to discuss the situation. We saw multiple issues with food orders around us as well as incorrect billing which was concerning. This doesn't seem like an establishment ready to handle the volume of patrons it's built for. Some staff were great while others were far from professional or customer focused. Not a place I will return to.

So good, in fact, that one of my friends got them as the side with her meal because she couldn't get enough of them haha. The birthday girl and I did the Mimosa Bottle Service, which comes with the choice of 3 juice flavors. We picked passion fruit puree, house strawberry and house lavender. Lavender was hands down our favorite! We also decided to split the Chicken & Waffles and Maine-Style Lobster & Shrimp Roll with fries. Our waiter told us that he could tell the kitchen and they'd pre-split the dishes for us, so that was fantastic and made things simpler for us! There were two small cons for me; the first was that my silverware had a little dried food on it, so I asked for plasticware. And the second being, when we asked for straws, the waiter brought them to us loose in his bare hand. I've never had this happen anywhere else, usually loose straws are brought to you in a napkin. Would be great if Catalina made that the standard moving forward. I thought about taking off one star for these two things but everything else was so wonderful, it didn't feel fair to do that. Our waiter was super nice and informative, the food and drinks were incredible, AND they gave the birthday girl a gift certificate to use towards her next visit, plus a complimentary birthday sundae! You really can't beat that. We will absolutely be back!

I'm talking top tier, Veuve Clicquot Brut service...with a little spice...Best! He was so accommodating and keep us laughing the entire time. He went out of his way to make my day special! We started with beignets, oysters on the half shell and cocktails. Espresso Martinis, a Dirty Martini, and a specialty cocktail made to order. It may sound like a weird combination, but it all paired well together. I was in the mood for beef. So, I ordered the Wagyu Brunch Burger- 1/2 lb Wagyu, Over-Easy Egg, Grilled Bacon, Cheddar Cheese, Hollandaise, Avocado Spread, Brioche Bun, Garlic and Herb Fries. The fam had the Veggie Ranchero omelet- Seasonal Beans, Grilled Corn, Pico de Gallo, Poblano, Cheddar, Avocado, Tortilla Strips, Ranchero, Chipotle-Lime Crema, and a Hashbrown Casserole. Fingerling Breakfast potatoes, with a side of bacon and eggs, and another Hashbrown Casserole. Everything was cooked to perfection. I had such a great time and can't wait to return.

They have always had, in my estimation, the best French onion soup around and I was craving it, so off I went. The restaurant off East Boulevard is an eclectic sort of place, and in my memory the interior hasn't ever changed. The wood is dark, the tables a bit worn and packed together to give a slightly claustrophobic feel, and the decor is always vaguely counterculture. For people who like NoDa and Plaza Midwood (before its recent transformation), it's homey as can be. I enjoyed the familiarity of its unpretentious surroundings as I took a seat in a tiny corner booth. Delighted to note that the French onion soup is as delicious as ever, with a richly flavored broth and a generous amount of bread and cheese baked in. While the quality hasn't diminished, thank heavens, the size has gone from a bowl to a cup. As it was my upcharged side I didn't mind terribly but still. Alas. Kudos to the kitchen for letting me have my soup before my sandwich was delivered, but here is where things went a little south. I had ordered The Usual, one of their trademark dishes, a hot open-faced chicken salad sandwich on a baguette topped with asparagus, mushrooms and cheese. It too has been the victim of shrinkflation, about 2/3 as big as once it was. Again, didn't mind terribly much but the toppings themselves were scant: three small strips of jarred or canned asparagus, four slices of mushroom. Okay, everything is expensive these days, but the edges of the sandwich were burned and the filling was cool, meaning the salamander setting was off and no one checked it before sending it out or putting it down. I might have considered sending it back but that's when my server disappeared. My water glass sat empty for half my meal and was never refilled. Even paying the check was sluggish. So I give the current state 300 East a solid three with a disappointed sigh because they seem to be phoning it in. Really great French onion soup, though.

The menu doesn't have a massive selection, which can be easier for me at times. Since I ordered the side of fries, I also grabbed the sauce bundle for a fry party! The sauces were ok, but I don't think I'd purchase them again. The burger patties had good flavor and paired nicely with the fresh onions on the burger. The cheese was melted and layered between the patties bringing it all together. To me, the fries weren't as fresh as I would have preferred, but overall did enjoy the burger from here. Seating can be difficult depending on when you visit but we were able to find a table to enjoy our meals together with no issue.
