    They should add more pictures of food, the menu, and drinks available. It's a very cool place, especially if you live in ARTAVIA.

The cod fish was fresh, lightly breaded and done just right - chunky with a nice level of flakiness. In the case of these fish tacos, I'd let the pictures do the talking. The avocado tacos were made fresh. Black beans and pickled vegetables went well with this star of a dish. The hummus - jalapeno and crabcakes were mediocre. Roberto and the waitress gave excellent service. Water for refill was provided in a milk bottle which was great. Afterall, we are in this hot heat of summer. Requested seating in a booth and got seated at a booth by the windows. Leg space felt better at the booths by the windows than those by the bar. Roberto recommended other dishes I may like to try next time - cauliflower crusted pizza, local kebab, burgers etc. Glad to have discovered this restaurant that was hidden in the woods. It was also associated with owners of Hungrys whom I have patronized in years gone by at their Dairy Ashford and Rice locations.

It wasn't bad, it just wasn't my preference. I would not get it again. The service at this location was poor today. Since it was pretty empty and all the staff members were surrounding the bar, I sat at the bar. The team was more engaged with their interactions between one another than checking on my party. Each request I made was unnecessarily delayed. When I requested a container which was within eyesight and reach of the staff, I watched the employee stop and check on 2 other guests and make them drinks BEFORE handing me the container. I asked a 2nd person behind the bar and they did a similar thing before passing a container to me. There were 4 people behind the bar and maybe 5 guests, but each time I needed assistance, I had to ask more than once. Also, I could see my food items sitting in the kitchen while the team was continually chatting in the bar. This is my 3rd time at this location, and it will be my last. Although I like some of the menu items, the service today has depleted my tolerance for this location.

We had the Buffalo Dip and it was quite tasty with Buffalo Sauce, Creamy Cheese Blend, Ranch, Green Onions, and Shredded Chicken served with House Made Kettle Chips. It was very good with a little kick to the flavor. We ordered the Chipotle Chicken bowl to split and it was nice that they put it in separate bowls for us. It had Grilled Chicken, Rice, Corn, Black Beans, Mixed Cheese, Tortilla Strips, Sour Cream, Chipotle Ranch and Cilantro. All that sounds amazing together so I was disappointed that it was incredibly bland. I had to put hot sauce on it to have some flavor. I've been to this Woodson's multiple times and it's always been good so I'll be back but I wouldn't recommend that dish.

There was live music playing outside, but we chose to sit indoors that day. The hostess opened the front door right away to show us inside. My wife ordered the blackened flounder with two sides, southern green beans and the sweet potato cakes, because the server recommended it. I also went with the server's suggestions and ordered the Wagyu chicken fried steak with bacon jalapeno mac-n-cheese and jalapeno cream corn. It might not have been the healthiest choice, but I wanted to enjoy the evening. lol My wife really liked the blackened flounder. The green beans were a bit more overcooked than she liked, though. The chicken fried steak was outstanding and very tender. I liked that the delicious gravy came on the side so the steak stayed crispy. The sides were also outstanding. The GM (Glen, sp?) came to say hello because it was our first time there. I told him everything was wonderful and that we would come back. When we left, the hostess opened the door for us again without missing a beat. Great food, great service, and a lively atmosphere.

For the price, I expected something significantly better. Charging $14 for a slice of cake that tastes this average feels like a complete ripoff. I left disappointed and frustrated with the purchase and will not be returning. To make matters worse, they don't even accept tap-to-pay or Apple Pay. In 2026, that's an unnecessary inconvenience and shows a lack of investment in the customer experience. Between the overpriced, mediocre dessert and the outdated payment options, this was a thoroughly disappointing visit.

We got the Strawberry Caprese salad, blackened ahi crudo, bourbon brisket and fries, cornmeal crusted catfish with sweet chili glaze over mushrooms risotto, and pig candy. 5/5 Strawberry caprese salad. Very nice and light salad. The balsamic vignerette is not overpowering which I enjoyed. Would get again. 4.5/5 Blackened ahi crudo. A little bit on the saltier side but still very enjoyable and tasty. Wonton crisp is nice addition. Good presentation. 5/5 Bourbon brisket & fries. Delicious burger. The brisket was delicious and mouthwatering along with the caramelized onions, and bread was mildly sweet and tasty. 5/5 corneal crusted catfish. Definitely one of the best catfish I've tasted. The top is crunchy and the glaze has a fruity flavor which paired well with the fish and risotto. Highly recommend! 3.5/5 Pig candy. I read some good reviews about the candy and decide to try it. It was too salty for me and I felt needed another glaze or salad to pair with. Not bad but just not a favorite. Enjoy!

I got the blacked ahi crudo and the cornmeal catfish with sweet chili glaze over mushroom risotto and wow! The crudo came with wonton chips and absolute perfection. Great flavor of citrus, seared tuna, and the right ratio of crudo to wonton chips. My lunch guest got the crawfish hush puppies which weren't as great as the crudo- dry but came with an amazing gravy so definitely soak them up in that, but was lacking crawfish- had to search for them in each hush puppy- trust me, get the crudo. The catfish dish- wow- large serving I had to take home the leftovers. The crispy cornmeal was perfect, the sweet chili glaze wasn't spicy but more like a sweet and sour sauce which sounds odd with catfish but it works! So delicious. And that bed of mushroom risotto- creamy, and with plenty of mushroom pieces, no skimping there and we're not taking about teeny pieces and sparse mushroom in this risotto, good size pieces and plenty! Although it was lunch we also added dessert- the banana foster egg roll, crispy on the outside, great cinnamon flavor, a delicious buttery sauce, so you can pour on top as much to as you like and a soft, sweet, delicious banana filling. Perfect end to the meal on a sweet note. and then also had the black Aji tuna nachos so good lots of flavor some citrus to it. Mushroom risotto amazing. Service: impeccable. Everybody was super nice very helpful and the ambiance was like a sophisticated, relaxed atmosphere focused on comfort and unhurried conversation. I loved everything about the experience and would definitely go again.
