As…read moresomeone who appreciates attention to detail, I was thoroughly impressed by how pristine the entire establishment is--everything from the dining area to the restrooms is maintained to an incredibly high standard. Beyond the cleanliness, the atmosphere is warm and exceptionally welcoming. The staff is genuinely friendly, and the owners go out of their way to ensure every guest feels truly taken care of. It is rare to find a place that balances such professional upkeep with a personal, "home-away-from-home" feel. Highly recommended for anyone in the area looking for a quality experience. The food is great. The plates are small ( which is fine ) but it would have been nice to have a bit of room to cut up my food , and I'd add a second side to anything that's not a sandwich, but even with just one side ( steaks get two ) you don't leave hungry. ( extra sides are 4 a piece) The only other suggestion is a basket of homemade bread would be perfect for this establishment . It's a southern food , steaks and gravy type place. A basket of bread would make it perfect . Great place though . We would go out of our way to stop again.

Went for the biscuits, but our very wise waitress, Adriana, warned us that the biscuits were made with lard. Well that knocked out a bunch or breakfast options. She was so sweet and actually went to the kitchen and marked the menu pointing out lard-free menu choices. On the menu. Using black ink dots. Above and beyond. So we regrouped our breakfast plans and went mainly vegetarian. The Herbivore was absolutely delicious! Antebellum cheese grits topped with garlicky kale, romanesco and a soft boiled egg. We added a second egg. Split with my hubby. So good!! My sister-in-law had the brioche French toast. French toast topped with honey better, fresh berries and pecan granola. Served with maple syrup. Amazing! Added the duck fat breakfast potatoes. Who knew that the flavor would be so enhanced with the onions, peppers and duck fat. Get this side! Not a coffee drinker, but my hubby really enjoyed the coffee that is sourced from Cusco, Peru. Adriana made sure that the cups were always full and hot. Thank you for the VIP service at Fixe Southern House. Resident discount applied. Born from Opelousas, Louisiana, breakfast served with a huge helping of southern hospitality.

We started with the biscuits and cinnamon roll. I would recommend both. The biscuits came with a jam, honey and whipped butter. The cinnamon roll, which may look a bit underwhelming had a such a great crispy texture on the outside while still being fluffy on the inside. The icing wasn't too sweet and complimented the roll nicely. For the table, we had the pollo frito biscuit w/duck fat potatoes, Brisket Benedict w/okra and the Fixe Breakfast entree w/maple sausage and potatoes. The pollo Frito was delicious, the chicken was seasoned well and maintained crunch even within the biscuit. Duck fat potatoes were also good but were even better after adding some salt. The brisket benny was okay, the texture of the brisket was very odd and didn't really hold up to the egg. Although the okra had a great flavor the batter was a bit too thick which made it chewy. The Fixe breakfast was great and the maple sausage was perfect. Our waitress was Adriana, she was great and very helpful. Overall we would definitely come back and look forward to trying dinner one night.

Some of the fried chicken, lobster & crawfish pot pie, and the kale salad.

We saw the menu and were kind of like ok what kind of a chicken place is this. It was her choice so we went. Our waiter(forgot his name) was cool and was very attentive to us. First sign of a good waiter/server is our cups were never empty. Its been a while that my cup has never been empty. For the food it rocked. Your biscuits are addictive. I dont know what you put in them but we ate alot of them. The dressing on the salad was not over powering. Now for the chicken. We had tenders, fired, smoked and even some chicken fried steak. It was all juicy and tender. What had us surprised was there was no oil on the plate when it was served. The breading on all the chicken stayed crunchy. What ever you do to the chicken keep doing it. The corn, green beans and the mashed potatoes were on point. They are their own food group. Im not a green bean person. I had 2 servings. The gravy just made everything taste better. The deserts tasted like they came from grandmas kitchen. Whats the chances you would open a location in Las Vegas Nevada. Its going to get expensive to drive here every time we what fried chicken.

The menu is small with a section for BBQ, burgers, and sides for this then the next page is Asian (Philippines food) with sides for those dishes. I had the baby back rib plate with 4 bone of ribs, toast, and my sides were Pancit (noodle dish) and potato salad. The ribs were perfection; soft with a light pull off the bone, nice level of smoke, flavor was excellent. Sauce in the table was good but the ribs did not need and flavoring as is. They say the potato salad is one of their specialities and they weren't exaggerating. Not a thing in this order wasn't great. My Wife had the smoked cheeseburger.

My coworkers and I prefer to find local eateries whenever possible. For lunch one day, we searched out The Woolf Den, decided that we could all be happy with something on their extensive menu, and had a surprisingly delicious meal here. I got the French Dip sandwich, which can be risky. A lot of times French Dips are dry and boring with a side of jus to moisten it up. Here at Woolf Den the sandwich would have been divine on its own...the jus was just the icing on the cake! The sandwich was closer to a Philly cheesesteak--thinly-sliced, griddled steak, mushrooms, peppers, onions, and gooey melted cheese on a hoagie roll. The jus was flavorful. When I was done dipping my sandwich, I had half a mind to drink the remaining jus...it was that good! However, I'm a civilized human being, so I just dipped everything I could find into it...crackers, mainly. So good! I think I'll dream about that sandwich. My coworkers got the club sandwich and the Philly cheesesteak. Both really enjoyed everything they had. The women behind the counter were sweet, too. It's nice to be greeted when you walk through the door. They also offered good recommendations. I don't think you can go wrong at this place. I'd love to go back and try more of the menu, but I don't know if I'll get the chance. If you need to take food to go, all meals are served in styrofoam boxes. You can also call in orders and pick them up. This seems like a very convenient option in these parts. All in all, I'd definitely go back. I'm actually bummed that I've got to leave tomorrow and most likely won't get the chance.
