It was perfect: the food was exceptional (friends and family from all over the country raved about the delicious food and how it was presented); the wait staff was attentive and no one had to wait for a drink; and working with Paris to set all of this up and choose the food was pleasant, easy, and enjoyable. At the end of the party I turned to my sister, who helped me plan the day, and I said, "We chose the right place." Thank you all very much for being so helpful, friendly, and for your hospitality. We felt at home. Please extend my thanksgiving to everyone who made this beautiful afternoon a happy occasion for us. We moved from the Rocky Mountain region a few months ago: you provided a perfect experience for our out-of-state family and friends to see why it's called Sweet Home Alabama. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.

My final work travel stop this week wrapped up with a mighty fine meal at Prohibition Rooftop Bar &…read moreGrill in Madison, Alabama. The restaurant sits just a stone's throw from the ballpark where the Rocket City Trash Pandas play, so the whole place already has a fun, lively atmosphere before you even sit down. Now given the name "Prohibition," I half expected someone to knock on the door and ask for a secret password like it was 1927. Back in those days, enjoying a drink required secrecy, dim lights, and maybe a jazz band playing in the corner. Today, things are a little easier... though for this non-drinker, my order was simple: water on the rocks, hold the lemon. I prefer my water about 100 proof for maximum flavor. My boss and coworker grabbed seats at the bar while we looked over the menu. We kicked things off with the Pork Belly Burnt Ends and the Pork Bao Buns. Let me tell you, those Pork Belly Burnt Ends were an absolute masterpiece. They came out crisp and seasoned just right with a little spicy kick. Served with raw carrots, homemade pickles, and lettuce wraps to bundle those little jewels together--downright tasty. If food had a Hall of Fame, these would already have a plaque on the wall. The Pork Bao Buns were good as well, but they simply couldn't match the grand slam the Pork Belly Burnt Ends delivered. For my main course, I ordered the Smoked Wangs with the Jala Mango seasoning and a side salad. The wings were delicious--cooked and seasoned to perfection. Every bite was solid. No bootlegging required. Prohibition definitely hit it out of the park today. Between the great food, the great service, and the fun atmosphere near the ballpark, this place is a must-stop for locals or anyone just passing through Madison. Our waitress tried pretty hard to convince us to order dessert, so I'm guessing their sweets are just as flavorful as everything else on the menu. The only problem I had today? I couldn't finish my meal. I was absolutely stuffed. If this had been the 1920s, the only crime committed here would've been leaving food on the plate. Great food. Great service. I'll gladly return--though next time I may need a little more room in the stomach.

They took a long time to take our order at the counter. There seemed to be some confusion with the system. We ordered two margaritas, and they only brought out one. Our food came out shortly after, and I asked for the second margarita. She insisted she only saw a ticket for one, but would bring one out. She never did. The food was bland overall, although the chips, salsa and queso were not bad. I asked about the margarita as we left, and everyone just stood around staring blankly. Spend your time and money elsewhere!

We arrived at 11:30. There were 2 couples inside this recently opened cantina. Dave ordered birria tacos. I ordered a make my own bowl with grilled chicken, lettuce, corn, beans, onions, avocado, sour cream and cilantro with jalapenos on the side. My side item was Mexican corn. The birria tacos were ok. The consommé was tasty but they didn't give much at all. There wasn't as much meat as other restaurants give. Taste wise they were bland. They need to give more meat and more consommé. I didn't see or taste cilantro or onions so the tacos were bland. 3/5 My build a bowl with grilled chicken, lettuce, other toppings and a side of Mexican corn was good. The Mexican corn was authentic and suggested by one of the employees as their favorite. She gave a great suggestion as the grilled corn was very good. I would order this bowl again. 4/5. I didn't give 5 stars because the bed of lettuce wasn't enough lettuce. If I wanted a taco salad type of bowl, I would need more lettuce. But it was good. I saw frozen margaritas were churning away. We didn't get one but will keep that in mind for the next visit. I definitely will return to get a build a bowl. Please try this new cantina out.

We had water all around in only a few minutes and then took some time to peruse the lengthy menus. We started with Cajun fried pickles (nothing special), alligator bites (surprisingly tender and delicious) and Cajun Bourre eggs (good, probably won't order again). One friend tried the crawfish etouffee and absolutely raved over it. He said next time that he will order a bowl and some bread and that will be his meal. I had the Wicked Chicken. The very large portion was delicious though I would have liked some of the balsamic glaze shown in the photo. I added a side of fried squash. Absolutely not needed but very, very good. In fact, the side offerings looked so enticing that I might just order a few sides for my meal on my next visit. My husband ordered the seafood risotto. He said it was bland and really wasn't thrilled with it. One friend ordered the shrimp po-boy. He said it was great. It looked really good - absolutely stuffed full with shrimp. The accompanying fries were almost like a cross between French fries and potato chips. Really, the sandwich was so large, the fries were overkill. There is a pretty large cocktail menu that includes some classic New Orleans drinks (think hurricanes and hand grenades) plus a bunch of drinks that looked interesting. I tried the hurricane. A traditional hurricane is a pretty strong drink. Cajun Roux's version certainly wasn't. I'd skip this next time. There wasn't a chance in the world that I could have eaten a bite of dessert but next time I'll make sure to save a little room for the bread pudding. Overall, service was good though the timing of the arrival of some of our food and drinks was off. Not a big deal. Parking was typical Providence parking. The restaurant has some outdoor seating and is much larger inside than it looks. It's a tad pricey but really about average for the quality and quantity of food that we had. Do be aware that a 20% tip is added for 5 or more diners. It was on the menu though none of us noticed it nor would have guessed that a table of 5 would trigger it. That's totally on us. But we were still handed our receipts with suggested tip amounts and pens to fill in the total. Will we be back? Absolutely!

I had the double bacon burger: two 1/4‑lb smashed patties and several thick strips of bacon. I added lettuce and tomato, and it was a serious meal -- in the best way. I swapped the fries for onion rings, and those deserve their own shout‑out. Thin‑sliced onions, lightly breaded, and absolutely addictive. I also have to mention Vay, our server.

It was loaded with grilled chicken, bacon, red onion, tomatoes, eggs, and lettuce, This salad was delicious! 5/5 Dave ordered Fried Catfish Orleans, deconstructed. He asked for the fried catfish, the fried shrimp, and the crawfish étouffée to be served separately rather than everything piled on top of each other. He said the catfish was very good, the shrimp was very good and he enjoyed the crawfish étouffée, but said it was on the spicy side. I am glad I asked him to get the dish deconstructed. This way he was able to enjoy the catfish and shrimp and not worry about the étouffée being too spicy. He loved his meal. 5/5 I asked for a cup of red beans and rice to go. The red beans were on the spicy side. They were very tasty but definitely had some kick. 5/5 If you like sporting events and going to a sports bar versus sitting at home, please stop by Walk On's. They have great foods and my waitress, Alexis, is more than capable of loading everyone up! We will return. 5/5
