The food was absolutely delicious--full of flavor and exactly what you'd hope for from a spot serving Southern cuisine. Every dish felt fresh, well-seasoned, and made with care. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service by the owner, Kyle. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right throughout the visit. It created a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere from start to finish. If you're looking for great Southern food paired with top-notch service, this is definitely a place worth checking out.

The other customers were all friendly and made conversation too. Lots of people grabbing a bite to eat here before heading upstairs to the Attic for live music. Now the food! Damn, that was good.

I was greeted immediately upon entry and was seated in a booth near the kitchen. I was a bit disappointed that there were no games on and it was only a fish display on the TVs but oh well. They were still serving brunch at the time and everything was looking good, but I decided to order from the regular menu. I got a peach mimosa and the shrimp your way (I chose to have mine charbroiled) and got sautéed green beans and yellow rice for my sides. I got the mimosa first and it was outstanding. It was crisp but not overly sweet and had the perfect alcohol ratio. Shortly after my food came and it didn't disappoint. First of all, I couldn't believe the amount of shrimp I got (by no means am I complaining). Everything was perfectly charbroiled and had the right amount of seasoning. The green beans were delicious and the cornbread muffin was probably my favorite. I enjoyed my visit and found both the staff and service to be excellent. The food was incredible as well. I'll def return.

Sides selected fried okra and fries. We shared all the items and I have to say they were all so delicious! The smoked jalapeño sausage was extremely flavorful with just the right amount of heat and Smokey flavor! The smoked beans are some of the best I have had with bits of smoked meat throughout and a deep smoke flavor. Highlights: Boudin balls: crispy outside with soft flavorful centers. Came with a great dipping ranch sauce. Cuban sandwich: perfectly smoked pork and the bread was amazing! Also enjoyed the peach cobbler! Yum... Our waiter was so great with details and descriptions of the special of the day and so attentive. Always a great stop.

As someone who doesn't get the opportunity to have shrimp and grits very often, it's something I always look forward to ordering when I find it on a menu. We were actually debating whether or not to get it when someone else in line recommended it and told us how delicious it was. I'm glad we listened! The grits were creamy and had a lot of Cajun seasoning, which I thought worked really well. They weren't quite as cheesy as I personally would have liked, but the flavor was still delicious, with just a little bit of smokiness. I also appreciated that despite all the seasoning, the dish wasn't too spicy for me. The shrimp was cooked to perfection, and the overall texture of the dish was spot on. We paired the shrimp and grits with a grilled cheese flight from Steve's Meltdown, another vendor at The Foundry, and the two ended up going surprisingly well together. This wasn't quite the best shrimp and grits I've ever had, but I'd easily put it at number two, which is still pretty high praise. If you're at The Foundry and craving shrimp and grits, Four Hens Creole Kitchen is definitely worth a try.

And you're not going to City Foundry's food hall for a cheap meal, but $20 for the portion size, plus an undisclosed 10% service charge just to include a lid seemed a bit much.

It's the rare occasion when I get to visit a restaurant that was featured on the TV show "Diners,…read moreDrive-ins and Dives," and it's a true privilege. I don't take it lightly. I spent a lot of time preparing. My mom even made me a special outfit. Remember, in the movie Goodfellas, when Joe Pesci thought he was about to become a made guy? It was kind of like that. Fortunately, I wasn't led into an empty room where I was promptly shot in the back of the head. (Whew!) I was conscious of the potential for violence at Hwy 61 Roadhouse, because its name--and the overall vibe--calls to mind the classic Patrick Swayze movie from the 1980s, which was in fact set in Missouri. I was ready to punch my way out of there, if necessary. The crowd here skews older, and it occurred to me that I may have been able to take out quite a few of them on my own. There was live music, and the band called to mind something you might see in a circa-'97 Christopher Guest movie, or Marty and Bobbi Culp. It gets loud, to the point where you can't hear what the person across the table from you is saying. You might consider bringing a date here, if you'd prefer not having a conversation. A guy from my running group loves this place and spoke highly of the BBQ Spaghetti. Normally, I wouldn't eat anything like that, but this guy seems like he might know ball when it comes to delicious restaurant meals, if you catch my drift. Turns out, he wasn't wrong. It wasn't just good, this might be the way to eat pulled pork. I'd make it at home, except that store-bought barbecue sauce is disgustingly sweet and processed-tasting, and it wouldn't be worth trying to make my own. I toyed with the idea of getting a burger, which is a safe go-to in restaurants in areas where the spice level is often inquired about, but I've eaten so many of them lately. Then I saw that they carry a Shrimp Po Boy. It seemed like the perfect choice. Shrimp Po Boys are never not good, even the one they used to carry at Popeyes during Lent back in the pre-chicken sandwich era, and this place supposedly specializes in Cajun food. It didn't disappoint... for the most part. It was a bit bread-forward for my liking. Some places hollow out the bread a little bit, to make room for the fillings. Hwy 61 doesn't, and they use a weirdly large roll. I love bread, so this wouldn't necessarily be an issue, but there was nothing particularly special about this bread. They load you up on shrimp, which are fried hard, like chicken wings from a hood Chinese place. It makes for a satisfying crunch. The lettuce and tomatoes provided a fresh, healthy-seeming contrast, and the remoulade is just spicy enough to keep things interesting. I'm definitely curious to try some of the other menu items, including some of the more authentic Cajun selections--the etouffees, gumbos and what have you. If only I could get them to bring me a sampling of everything, "on the arm." I'd show up in backwards sunglasses and tell them I'm there filming a TV show, but alas, they've already been featured on a TV show, and I wouldn't want to run the risk of having to actually fight someone.

That said, the experience can be very inconsistent. The bar drinks are almost always made far too sweet, and we've had several issues with the food over the years. We've received seafood boils that were cold, bread that wasn't served warm, and even boils with the wrong seasoning. Unfortunately, when we've brought these issues to the staff's attention, they have sometimes been argumentative instead of trying to make it right. When everything is prepared correctly, the food is absolutely worth the visit. However, because the quality is so hit-or-miss, it's difficult to know what kind of experience you'll have each time.

The snow crab was so juicy and the mussels were super fresh. We got the mixed seasoning with no spice, and the potatoes were sooo good to balance out. The corn was amazing, and the shrimp was enormous and so juicy, I'm not sure how they got it that good. The sauce leans pretty salty, and I ended up drinking like three cups of water, but eating it with the potatos balances it out. Price point felt fair and I left stuffed!! Would definitely come back.
