I went with my friend who's…read morebeen coming here for like 20 years because she really wanted their chicken fried steak. our server was Jesse and he's amazing. Actually, everybody working was super friendly. I ordered the chicken fried BLT and she got the chicken fried steak. Our main entrées were great. She ordered sides of broccoli, fried okra and mac & cheese and I got a side of onion rings and then we also had the rolls and cornbread. The fried okra and bread were great. I appreciated that they gave us plenty of butter for the bread! The mac & cheese and onion rings were not very good. I will say she told me that they can be inconsistent with quality, but since they have a newer chef, things are getting better. I will definitely be back and try more things on the menu. as far as the mac & cheese, it was not very flavorful and the pasta was way overcooked. The onion rings were also way overcooked or frozen or something too. It's hard to explain, but they were tough. I did enjoy my sandwich though! I also really wanna try the pie, It looks amazing. I also thought the texas/americana decor was very cute.

Friendly service, solid menu, great food and drinks…read more Craving a burger on a Thursday afternoon, I stopped by PHD's around 2:30pm. The place had a healthy crowd for that time of day, which is always a good sign. The layout is a casual mishmash of outdoor patios, indoor bars, and a mix of tables and high-tops. Located right across from the Kessler Theater, they clearly attract a steady stream of pre- and post-show guests. The overall vibe is a relaxed sports bar with a welcoming neighborhood feel. I went with the classic cheeseburger and swapped fries for onion strings. The burger was delicious, and the onion strings were a great choice, crispy, flavorful, and not overly greasy. Definitely give PHD's a try. I was impressed.

My favorite is probably the sliders, although i wish they came with a side of fries. (Problem solved by ordering a side of fries.) ive also had the lgbtq sandwich- super tasty, loaded waffle fries- yum, individual nachos- yum, onion rings- yum, chicken acapulco in wrap form- pretty tasty, chicken blt- bland, and club- yummy. Pretty much everything is a win. On top of the food, ive realized that the bar feels kind of like home to me. Im not a drinker and dont frequent bars, but heres why. The gm is a sweetheart. He has the sweetest relationship with his staff and you can tell from the way they interact how close they all are. I love going in and recognizing the staff and getting hugs from them. What else is cool- they pack up meals for the homeless twice a month. I think it's connected with the owners church but still using the space for that is awesome. I have come a couple times and plan to keep coming back. Charles always asks me if i want a ginger ale bc he knows thats all I drink. I also love that a couple of my trivia friends have a special beer they like, charles tries to keep it on hand for them. He also knows thats i like to watch the wnba games and is starting to check for them before i get there for trivia on weds nights. All these things make me want to keep coming back.

We were immediately seated. the server was attentive and friendly, not worried about us choosing the most expensive item on the menu. She gave us plenty of time to decide. Food is amazing as always. We started with brussels sprouts. Then a four meat pizza, a pesto pizza, and a burger. All delicious. Against our better judgment, we ordered a chocolate crème brûlée, which was a new dessert for all of us and even though we only planned on having a few bites, we almost finished it. Absolutely amazing if you're a chocolate connoisseur. Teamwork is obvious a waitress we didn't know offered to box up our pizzas. You're truly missing out if you don't hit this spot when you are in the area . Service, food and atmosphere top . Even the patrons are cool, laid-back and friendly. Apparently all the cool kids eat there. Do yourself a favor and make Nova a regular stop when you're in the area.

During our visit, we stumbled upon this charming, quaint restaurant, and I'm so glad we did. It was a Saturday evening, and despite not having a reservation, we were lucky enough to find two seats at the bar. We were immediately welcomed by Logan, who took our drink order and offered several recommendations, including the avocado salad. To die for! As we sat there, I couldn't help but notice how seamlessly the bartending team worked together. Watching them was truly impressive. The space behind the bar was limited, yet they moved in perfect harmony, never bumping into one another, always anticipating what needed to happen next, and effortlessly picking up where the other left off. It was like watching a beautifully choreographed performance. That evening, Logan was working alongside Kevin and Amanda, and together they made the experience exceptional. We ordered the scallops for dinner, and they were absolutely outstanding. Before leaving, I felt compelled to tell Logan how much we had enjoyed our experience and how fascinating it was to watch their teamwork in action. That's when he shared that it was actually the first night the three of them had ever worked together behind the bar. Honestly, I was shocked. They seemed like a team that had been working side by side for years. All I can say is they make the perfect trio. This place will not disappoint. If you're ever in the Bishop Arts District, I highly recommend stopping by. Between the incredible food, outstanding service, and remarkable team atmosphere, it's an experience you won't soon forget.

Seasonal food, guaranteed delicious…read more Sourdough bread with vinaigrette was not good - it was probably sitting there for awhile. Had a hard time chewing the outer crust. Beetarita was good, lots of vegetable and fruit flavors. Pork belly was solid, very tender and super easy to stretch - how meat should be. The vegetables were a nice add-on. Grilled salmon fattoush was great - yogurt sumac was a solid touch to mix with the sweet peppers/cucumber and gave a great contrast to the savory, crispy salmon. The crispy layer on the salmon was seared so nicely. And the best dish - the peach cobbler (summer season) was super delicious. Loved how well made this was! A special shout-out to the homemade crispy flat bread in the salmon fattoush! And our server was super amicable, the vibes were warm, elegant, farm-to-table.

For our apps, we got the burrata which was pretty good but I didn't like the vessel it was served in. Hard to cut it up or have it ooze. We also got the bread which had great flavor but should have had some kind of spread with it. For dinner, he got the strozzapetti, which had great flavor to the pasta and sausage, but the greens were exceptionally bitter. We couldn't eat it. There was so much of it that it was overwhelming and we picked around it. I got the agnolotti which was amazing and unlike his dinner, my kale was soooooo good. Really well balanced dish. Service was well done. I would like to come back but wish they had more pasta options.

Reminds me of cafes overseas for sure. I always sit outside since I'm a hookah smoker but the inside is beaaaaautiful, you've gotta go in & take a look around. So dreamy and the aesthetic gives old money. The food for me is always solid. Nothing blows me away, but you'll eat good & enjoy your time there for sure. Service is laid back, they're not too overly attentive bc like I said most people are there to vibe and chill a while - so they're not hounding you to pay/leave, which is nice.. you can easily wave them over when you need service, etc. This is a solid date night spot, weekday or weekend conversation spot, have visitors in from out of town (you can see the skyline but also still close to the bar areas).

Both were delicious and I would definitely recommend trying both! The Katsu came with a spicy mayo that made the sandwich perfect!

After waters were delivered, our drink order wasn't taken for at least 15-20 minutes after getting there. We placed our drink order and then waited, and waited, and waited for our first round of drinks to come. At one point I made the joke that I should be on my second drink by now(this turned into a joke about how I should be on my third). When the drinks finally came, everyone but mine was delivered, the waitress said that she was running back up to grab mine. She came back with my drink 10 minutes later. At this point we just placed our orders for food and I decided to place my next drink order at this point to help with the wait time. The waitress came back with the appetizer and I actually placed another drink order as well before my second drink came because I wanted to stay ahead of the game. 2nd and 3rd drinks actually came at a reasonable time and I started feeling like the night was turning around. Spoiler Alert: It wasn't. Entrees were delivered and surprise surprise, the food that was ordered with mine was delivered but mine was not. Waited for another long period of time and then my food was delivered. Was an apology of any sort ever given, no. Our waitress came to check back on the table very sparingly to the point we were waiting to place a dessert order so long we decided to take it to go. Ordered the monkey bread, got back to eat it and all the dough was raw. $200 bill between food and drinks for my wife and I and an appetizer for the table(there were others and other bills as well), still tipped 20% but there I would never recommend this restaurant for the service or the food. Great atmosphere great views. Service doesn't match the vibe.

My husband took advantage of their Taco Tuesday special and really enjoyed his tacos. While he felt the rice and beans were a bit on the bland side, the tacos more than made up for it.

Our server, Miles, was genuinely friendly and warm, with great suggestions to match. He struck that ideal balance of attentive without hovering, and he made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. We opted for lighter lunches, a few salads and tacos, and everything was excellent. The ingredients are clearly high quality, and you can tell real thought went into building the menu. It's the kind of food that proves "light lunch" doesn't have to mean settling. The atmosphere deserves its own mention. The Southern aesthetic is done beautifully: country music in the background, thoughtful decor, and an easy, inviting energy. Everyone working was friendly, and it showed in the overall experience. Whether you're local or just passing through, this one is worth the stop. Highly recommend.
