    Delicious salad
    Jose C.

    This was my second time here, and just like the first, it didn't disappoint. The menu switches up the main dishes often, but they keep a few reliable staples that never miss.

    Fig cocktail
    Carlie M.

    So glad I finally got to try out this spot. It's super chill and a great casual dinner spot. We sat on the patio! Definitely recommend for a nice day. They have a daily menu that changes up every so often. They have a fabulous cocktail menu. I got a fig tequila cocktail that was perfect for fall. For food, we got the lamb skewers, buffalo wings and the grilled cheese with tomato soup. You definitely need to get the grilled cheese - trust me! And with the soup - so cozy. They have rotating daily specials and all their sandwiches look amazing.

    Cocktail

    In the next installation of my Michelin reviews, this cute neighborhood bar was a lovely meal. I sat outside on the patio and was shielded from the rain that briefly came down. I also love the neighborhood, having been a fan of PERC forever. I like that the menu wasn't too extensive so it wasn't hard for me to pick what to order. I got the sweet potatoes, asparagus, and a specialty green goddess chicken with farro entree. I finished with the rice krispy treat (not pictured) and tried a vodka soda based cocktail. Everything tasted great and the servers were friendly/helpful despite managing a busy restaurant. The rice krispy treat definitely tasted home-made and not store bought. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the starters almost tasted too strong in some respects. I would still come back to try other small plates.

    Grilled cheese & fries
    Michelle C.

    Came in super early on a Friday night around 5 before anyone else. By the time we left around 8, it was a packed house! I'm glad we came early, it helped with finding parking too (street parking and there's a lot behind it) We ordered a bunch of small plates for our group of three - chicken, mushroom and shrimp skewers. All yummy with good flavor, just a bit disappointed at the portion size. The peanut noodles were refreshing and spicy. Ricotta dip with bread was a crowd favorite, the bread being grilled added smokiness which I enjoyed. Brussels were fine (par for the course, not phenomenal but not bad by any means). The grilled cheese was delish, the bread it's on was super crusty. We also ordered the fizzy gin carafe to share among the three of us- we each got about two glasses and it only cost us 12$ per person, pretty worth. Service was great- we were there for almost 3 hours and they came and checked on us in reasonable intervals. Will definitely be back!

    Sweet potatoes, lamb skewers, Buffalo cauliflower
    Julie R.

    Love this place! We shared small plates, and the sweet potatoes are to die for! Cute atmosphere, great service, lots of gluten free options, reasonable prices, and free parking. What more can you ask for? This is in the rotation as a "go to" place for a dinner out!

    The bar
    Erica S.

    Bartenders are friendly, food is seasonal and super yummy, and the vibe is super chill. Great spot to hit before a night out or a cool spot to come to when your night is winding down. Just a heads up that they often times run out of their best dishes. For example, the chicken pate - never got to try it because so many people ordered it before I did. Next time! Word to the wise - always get a steak skewer or 2. Delish! Def a neighborhood gem. You won't be disappointed if you check this place out. Do it!

    Peanut cold noodles
    Eddy G.

    Poor Hendrix is a really nice spot for a late night bite to eat. You can get anything from classic Buffalo wings, or something totally different like trout skins and spicy peanut cold noodles. Can't go wrong with either! Definitely will be coming back for more in the near future. Also, the service here is always friendly and attentive. Not to mention, the whole place has a cozy vibe to it in general. Feels like a nice place to just unwind after a long day, and have a bite of amazing food. You don't even need to drink, either. I come in just for the food!

    Fall Bourbon Punch
    Rose A.

    An Open Letter To The Owners: This email could not wait. I stopped into your establishment tonight and I can't say enough how much my cousin and I enjoyed ourselves. From the atmosphere, to the food, to the service. Bravo. We walked away talking about the food and even making a point to note that we must come back tomorrow for dessert and a drink to celebrate my cousins birthday. That grilled cheese is not just any old grilled cheese but an elevated experience, maybe a little dramatic but maybe even tear inducing. I walked away noting that this was comfort food done well and I felt comfortable and welcome. Brandon was a gem and he was extremely attentive. I don't normally give 5 star reviews because well it my first visit and I like to go a second time to make sure it wasn't a fluke. You DESERVE .

    The restaurant is in the same plaza as Iberian Pig and The Deer & The Dove. Parking in this area of…read moreDecatur is very limited. We usually have to circle around to find a spot, and walk to the restaurant. We came by for lunch on a Sunday. I like both the exterior and the interior design of the restaurant. The server was friendly and professional. We ordered drinks and two entrées. There was only one other table besides us, so just two tables total in the restaurant. After our drinks arrived, it took more than 45 minutes for the food to come out. The food itself was delicious. We had the half chicken and the trout. The ingredient quality is high, you can really taste it. However, the wait time was a bit too long, especially considering how empty the restaurant was. Aside from the long wait, everything else was good. I wonder if the delay was because we came shortly after they opened for lunch, but if they're open, the kitchen should be ready. Overall, the food is quite good, though the entree menu is somewhat limited, if excluding the pasta. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth trying. Personally, I'm not sure if I would come back. I'd rather not experience that long wait again, but maybe it was just an off day when I visited.

There was plenty of seating when we were walked in. Parking: This spot is located in downtown Decatur, so there are a variety of paid parking options (street parking, parking decks). Make sure to read the signs as there may be free parking on Sundays. Food: We ordered so much from the menu! Our favorite was the Heirloom Tomatoes, so make sure you grab that. It paired perfectly with the Bread & Butter. We also ordered the Crispy Potatoes, the Cacio e Pepe, and the Rigatoni. We weren't the biggest fans of the Rigatoni. There was what we think were raisins in there, which really threw things off. Drinks: There are so many options from cocktails to wine to beer. We both opted for aperitifs and enjoyed them! Vibe: We really enjoyed the space. It's small and intimate, and the staff is friendly and welcoming.

We snagged an early dinner reservation at 5:15 pm and surprisingly, people were already dining and they just got busier as time went on. We were greeted right away by our wonderful server (forgot her name though) and she asked if it was our first time there and if we were celebrating something. We answered yes to both and they actually brought us complimentary champagne, a sparkling non-alcoholic cider for me because I ordered a zero proof drink. Kimball House is known for their amazing bar program, so my husband ordered a Kimball House served with a side of olives and lemon twist on ice, like what?! I ordered a ginger & honey lime fizz to enjoy. For starters, we also enjoyed Hawaiian rolls, green salad and some oysters for my husband. The rolls and salad came out super fast, but there was quite a wait for our drinks and oysters that I didn't think they were going to come out. The rolls are a must-get here - they're huge and the strawberry preserve it was served with was delicious! The salad was actually split in half, which was a super nice touch and was plenty of serving between two people. We loved the dressing - it was nice and fresh. For our entree, I ordered a trout and my husband ordered the duck breast. I was a bit underwhelmed when I saw my plate because I was thinking it would be a plate full of grits, but what was served was the perfect amount because it was quite heavy. The trout by itself was too salty for my taste, but was best eaten with a bite of collards and grits. My husband enjoyed his meal, but wished the duck was cooked a bit more. For dessert, we both enjoyed a Paris Brest. Our server actually put it in twice so we each got one when she meant to only punch in one, but she ended up taking one off from our bill. I was quite shocked that our whole dinner was only around $190, not including tip, which I thought was quite reasonable. We definitely recommend this place for date night or simply for delicious food.

We visited Voss Lounge on Wednesday, April 1, excited for happy hour after seeing their Instagram flyer advertising $5 drinks, small apps, and hookah. Well...that's not exactly what we got. Once we arrived, we were told those $5 specials were actually for Tuesdays--not Wednesdays--and that detail was not clear on Instagram. I was told it was listed on their website, but let's be real...this is 2026--people are checking IG and TikTok, not websites. If you're promoting on social media, it needs to be accurate. We got there around 4:15 PM (happy hour starts at 4), and the place was empty--music wasn't even on yet. My party of four was seated right away, and we ordered drinks, food, and hookah. The lounge itself was beautiful--decked out in red and black with a really nice vibe. I had lemon drops and wings--both were actually really good. No complaints on the food or drink at all. But just know, the wings were not $5 since that special didn't apply that day. Now...the hookah experience? A complete mess. The hookah wasn't $5 either--it was $25 if I recall correctly. The hookah attendant recommended a flavor that was honestly not good at all. When we told her we didn't like it and asked to switch flavors (which we were willing to pay for), she tried to make us purchase a refill instead of simply fixing the issue. We asked to speak to a manager. She went to the back and spoke with someone who I later found out was the owner--but he never came out to address us. That alone didn't sit right with me. Instead, she came back, grabbed the hookah, and walked off. No explanation, no replacement--nothing. It felt like, "We won't charge you, but you're also not getting another one." That whole situation completely turned us off. Now I will give credit where it's due--our waitress was an absolute sweetheart. Friendly, attentive, and she did her best to take care of us. But overall, between the misleading Instagram promotion, the poor hookah experience, and the lack of management presence...this just wasn't it for me. Giving Voss 2/5 for good food, a beautiful space, and a great waitress Everything else? Needs work. Unfortunately, I won't be back!

Our waitress was pleasant but didn't offer any suggestions -- the valet attendant was nicer and actually did more than the waitress. We started with the $7 truffle french fries (happy hour portion, 4-7pm). They were enough for both of us. Crispy on the outside and soft in the center, but there was only a light dusting of cheese on the top layer of fries. It would be better if it were sprinkled throughout the entire pile. The grilled filet mignon ($52) was not good. It looked like ground hamburger shaped into an oval and had hardly any flavor at all. The lobster ravioli ($42) was just OK and was surrounded by a thin sauce. The flourless chocolate cake ($11) was delicious, and the espresso martini was also good. So the mains weren't great, but the dessert and drinks were. There's plenty of seating inside and outside on the patio. The bathroom was clean. We made reservations, but they didn't seem necessary on a Thursday evening. Highlights: Valet service, dessert, espresso martini, happy hour fries Could be better: Main dishes (filet and lobster ravioli)
