    Red beans and rice with smoked sausage. And an order of ribs. Nice plates.
    Brad R.

    We haven't seen anything like this. Melba's has a menu 20 ft. long...literally! Real soul food. The ribs: perfect. Collards: tender and well seasoned. Red Beans & Rice : creamy and delicious. They were so nice and efficient from the moment we walked in the door. Dining room, patio and service area were all inviting and interesting. 24 HRS Y'all get all the stars

    The food was a 10/10. It was a little bit of a wait at 1:30am but it was worth it. I had the corn grits with a shrimp po'boy. PHENOMENAL. My friends had the shrimp and fish plate and loved it. It was giving a bodega style restaurant but it had daiquiris and book everywhere. I loved it.

    The food is just okay, nothing special about it and they are as high as a giraffe's tail and quite overpriced for the quality and flavor.

    Food was okay. Large portions. Had to wait for someone to just tell us to use kiosk. Flys were everywhere.

    I recently visited Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken on Saturday evening around 7pm, and from the…read moremoment I walked in, the place was absolutely buzzing. The restaurant was packed, and the staff was moving nonstop--but what really stood out was how smoothly everything was handled despite how busy it was. The food? Easily a 10/10. The chicken had that perfect balance--crispy and slightly spicy on the outside, yet unbelievably juicy and tender on the inside. You can tell real care goes into it. The greens were cooked just right with a subtle hint of spice that gave them great flavor, and the slaw had a light sweetness that complemented everything perfectly. Service was just as impressive. My server, Tashena, was attentive, friendly, and kept everything flowing without missing a beat, even in the rush. You could tell she genuinely cared about the experience. I also have to shout out the manager, Whitney. She was incredibly uplifting, constantly cheering on her team and keeping the energy positive and motivated. That kind of leadership really shows in the overall experience. Between the food, the service, and the atmosphere, I can confidently say this is a 1000/10 recommend. I'll definitely be back

Recently, I was craving a roast beef poboy and walked over to try theirs. It was outstanding. It came dressed with pickled purple onions and horseradish cream sauce. That, with some seasoned fries, was a great meal. I love that they partner with Dong Phuong for their bread and they use Blue Plate mayo. I've seen the Dong Phuong truck dropping off bread and king cakes so I know they're 100% keeping it local. Service can be a little slow but everything is made to order.

    I'm so confused about the reviews. Bourrée is... awesome. To enter, you step inside an enchanted…read morecourtyard with industrial wire spools repurposed as smart outdoor tables. There is both covered and exposed seating, however all of the seating is beneath the canopy of an elder oak tree. The landscaping is carefully homegrown with beautiful greenery and pretty flowering shrubs to greet you upon arrival. There's also a stage where you can enjoy live music. Once inside, you're greeted by welcoming staff who are proud of what they serve. The interior is modest, with nice rustic carpentry. Bourrée is to Boucherie as Cochon Butcher is to Cochon. It's a wing and daiquiri spot, but the wings are natural (read: smaller than the hormonal wings we're used to) and the daiquiris are dry, just the way I like them. Mr. Tea is my favorite of their daiquiris because sugar isn't the first thing I taste, instead I'm actually getting that antioxidental brewed tea flavor. Never thought I'd want that from a daiquiri, but as it turns out, I do. Their fries are some of my favorite in the city: shoestringy with crispy ends, the skin still on, salty, and plentiful. We also love their version of fried Brussels sprouts which taste of maple-citrus with bites of Tasso mixed in for good measure. My only gripe was with the jerk wings which didn't taste of jerk, just spicy. And if I'm being honest, the wings aren't the best of what they offer. They make everything in house with quality standards as high as Boucherie.
