Love how everyone was very personable - felt very much like a family atmosphere! Food was great! My wife had the Salmon Market Salad and I had the Chicken and Waffles with Cheese Grits on the side!

Early evening we walked in looking for the ice cream that had been advertised on the road and were seated in their dining room. It was just before the dinner rush so we had the room to ourselves and our waitress was incredibly attentive.

I wish I had bought another to eat at home! For those with a sweet tooth, you have to stop by to try for yourself!

After that she was pretty absent. my beef dip was dry and tough, though the onions and mushrooms were plentiful. My wife's liver and oinion was in a sea of thin juice , not a gravy. the butter portions (for the baked potato) were dropped into the juice, creating a mess to handle. my iced tea sat empty for most of the meal, she never came back. Overall, the claim of the owner's long and exceptional culinary experience was not evident here. He either lost his passion or is not actually here, ever. Basicly an overpriced Diner. Maddingly the waitress held onto the credit card machine and stared at the screen while I tried to pay. Is that intimidation for a higher tip, since the machine starts the suggested options at 20%? one and done, other options nearby.

Service was friendly and excellent. Menu is so tough because there were so many amazing looking options for lunch. They even have rotating daily lunch specials. The theme is New Orleans style cooking and from what I heard about the family, it's legit... From what I tasted, it's most definitely amazing!! I loved the spice and overall flavors in my food. Starting with their BBQ shrimp - this is a large appetizer that was so tasty! The shrimp was perfectly cooked and very fresh. The buttery BBQ sauté was spiced and herbed up perfectly too. It comes with plenty of toast points to dip and sop up that sauce too!! My main dish was their Alpha Girl Po Boy - WOW!!! This was INCREDIBLE! All ingredients were perfectly fresh and perfectly seasoned! The entire sandwich came together amazingly well and was so darn tasty! I even like that they hollowed out a portion of the crown of the baguette to let all that amazing stuffing fit inside without falling out and being a mess. And their homemade, freshly cooked potato chips were incredibly tasty too! I can't wait to return and most definitely will... Highly recommend stopping in!

I've been eyeing New Iberia Kitchen for a while now - as I love Cajun cuisine…read more I finally got to try some of their food on a Sunday. Apparently, currently the only day of the week they offer Brunch is on Sundays. I showed up about 11:00 am. The place was full of diners - so instead of waiting for a table, I sat at the bar. It's not a large bar - I'd say it seats approximately 9-10 people. I ordered the Boudin balls - which come with a tasty dipping sauce called "Swamp Mustard." I also ordered the Cajun Omelette - which is stuffed with "smushed Boudin balls." Comes with a side of rather unexciting breakfast potatoes. The Boudin balls were tasty - and had a nice crispy texture. The Swamp Mustard is really good with the balls. The Cajun Omelette was rather ho-hum - I was expecting and hoping for something with more complexity and heat. The smushed Boudin balls were rather bland. The Omelette was cooked properly. The breakfast potatoes were unseasoned. I'd like to try out some other menu items - I'm hoping for something that will Wow me. Paid with Apple Pay. #NewIberiaKitchen

Serving American classics with high quality and great hospitality…read more Sandwiched between two floors of antique malls, Jack's was the perfect stop in the day to get some no-frills nourishment. Their breakfast is incredibly generous and made with ingredients that were fresh, clean, and meticulous in detail. The design of their menu is just so promising with unique twists that are not unheard of, but just an elevated touch when it comes to American diner food as a whole. Things like truffle infused hollandaise, fried green tomato BLT, pairing balsamic with goat cheese, a blackened pork, even mushrooms on the breakfast menu all hint that people developing their menu are confident in their skills in offering something more when it comes to breakfast plates and sandwiches. Their homemade aiolis (highly recommend their pesto aioli) and hot sauce tie any dish together-- breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Things made to this quality are not to be unremarked. Came in with friends so we can try everything on their menu, and we were pleasantly surprised on all fronts. Presentation, ingredients, preparation all elements that made our meals great and were evident across all dishes ranging from protein to carb. Details like toasted bread with already spread with butter, perfectly poached eggs, and brioche as the bun of choice were things we peeped. We would have left satisfied if these details weren't accounted for, but we were so impressed this became a revisit during our short vacation. Their space is greatly spacious, with an open drinks station so its just not pretentious. There is even a section in the front to pick up goods made by local artisans. This is a great place to dine in, no notes.

The busy manager said they take 10 minutes After 20 minutes my husband came in to find me -the roll appeared soon after. I'm a quiet type person , I took the roll and left . It was very good. Message -order the cinnamon roll prior to meal.

This was pretty close to the park and had ample parking, so we decided to stop in for a drink. The bartender was super friendly and when he learned this was our first time in the brewery, he asked what we liked and even gave me a couple of samples to try. I opted for the the Ramble On IPA and my friend got the Groove Tangerine wheat beer. We sat inside and drank our beers, which we both really liked. You could see where they made the beer and it was a cool place to hang out and enjoy our beverages. It wasn't too crowded when we arrived,but some larger groups started coming in as we were ready to leave. If you're in the area and are thirsty, I'd recommend stopping in.

In the end the food and service were nothing to write home about.

The pizza slice was very large, delicious, filling and I would try it again. The BBQ chicken bowl was tasty, worth $10, would definitely get it again.

I bought sliced mortadella for a dinner party charcuterie board, only to find the deli had sliced it with the plastic casing still left on the meat. This is a major oversight and embarrassing to serve to guests. Furthermore, every piece of produce I bought spoiled completely within 14 hours.To make matters worse, the cheese department staff is unknowledgeable. As a French native, I was shocked when an employee incorrectly insisted that Pave d'Affinois is just called a Brie. Wegmans charges premium prices, but between the rotting produce, negligent deli slicing, and untrained staff, the value is simply not there anymore. Management needs to fix these issues immediately.
