    Billiards, darts, board games, food, drinks. What more could you ask for? This space is huge! 16 x 7-ft diamond pool tables and 5 x 9-ft diamond pool tables, 6 dart lanes, 3 sets of cornhole boards, 100 board games to choose from, and 20 TVs. I went last Friday for their grand opening and it was PACKED! Which is really saying something because it's a large space. There is also a front patio as well. There is ample free parking in the lot right out front and in the bigger lot below that. This place is also woman-owned, which is super cool to me because there obviously aren't as many women that love the sport like me. Can't wait to be back and really be able to take advantage of everything this new spot has to offer.

    Stopped in today to kick off college football. Ordering was simple with the QR code, and drinks are available at the bar. Plenty of seating and a great overall concept--I hope they stick around for a long time. One note: the sound on the projector side could use improvement. It was tough to hear the game, and while maybe they're aiming for a quieter vibe, it would be great to have the audio up for the main game to really enhance the atmosphere.

    Chicken wings by the lb. OMG Spinach Artichoke w/warm chips. We sat @ the bar & the service was fast & bartender Brent was attentive & friendly. The crowd was playing league pool, darts & lots of football games on the monitors. 1st visit BUT not Last !!!!! Ryan invited us back with his huge smile.

    New pool hall on Covington Hwy and Memorial Drive servicing food out of a dope food truck selling out wings and burgers. The ambience here is on point with a full bar and clean tables.

    Like the sign on the wall says... "I Was Hanging With My Hens"…read more This was my second visit here, and both times I've been completely blown away. The decor is absolutely beautiful -- it honestly felt like stepping into a swanky restaurant tucked away somewhere in Manhattan. I definitely was not expecting that kind of atmosphere. The staff is just as polished as the restaurant itself. Even while busy, they stayed attentive, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. The whole experience from start to finish was top tier. We led with one of the House Favorites, Fried Salmon Bites, they were fried to perfection and served with this delicious dipping sauce that wasn't spicy at all, which I loved. For the main course I ordered Lamb Chops, Mac and cheese and yams. The Lamp Chop dinner is $45. Although it says $39. on the online menu it was no problem at all because those lamb chops were worth every single bite. The lamb chops were seasoned very well and cooked to perfection. The Mac and cheese and the yams fell in well with the dinner. This is a meal I could eat every day. I will dine here for all my lamb chop cravings. The rest of the hens in my party ordered Grilled Shrimp and Grits and Carribean Salmon Pasta. My granddaughter enjoyed her cheese burger and fries. We enjoyed our experience here and will be back soon. There is plenty of easy parking outside.

    I'd heard mixed reviews about Harold's Chicken & Ice Bar, so I wanted to experience it for myself…read more I was excited when a friend invited me for brunch because it's basically her neighborhood "Cheers," and she's there all the time. First impressions: the aesthetics are very nice and modern. They had the cutest Valentine's Day setup, which made the space feel festive and well thought out. Our server was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. We started with sangria, she had red, and I had white, then ordered the smoked salmon dip as an appetizer. For entrées, I chose the Harold's Signature Breakfast, and she went with the salmon croquettes. The smoked salmon dip was definitely my favorite of the meal. Overall, the food was good, and I'd absolutely go back to explore more of the menu. If you're on the east side of town and looking for a cute brunch spot with a lively neighborhood feel, this is a solid option.

That video alone made me follow them on social media, and when I saw they were hosting Soul Food Sunday, I gathered a few of my girlfriends and we decided to stop by. The restaurant was moderately packed, with a steady flow of guests coming in for to go orders. It is a sit yourself setup, and we ended up in Cira''s section. She was prompt, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. She explained items clearly, offered thoughtful suggestions, and checked on us consistently without being overbearing. The space is very spacious with a semi club feel, yet there is still plenty of seating for dining comfortably. The music was a great mix of Southern Soul, hip hop, R and B, and old school classics, which added to the overall vibe without taking away from conversation. I ordered the turkey wings with macaroni and cheese and yams. The turkey wings were flavorful and tender, and I thoroughly enjoyed the sides. I do wish the meal came with a cornbread muffin or something similar to round it out, but overall it was satisfying and well prepared. The only area that could use improvement is the restroom. There was a noticeable sewage smell, and the toilet paper was simply placed on top of the sanitary disposal bin, which was not the best presentation. Aside from that, I would absolutely return, especially to experience Taco Tuesday in person.

    This is a fu. Hang out spot especially for line dancing night. The service is usually pretty good,…read morewings are decent but the drinks are kind weak. I still however recommend.

I read all these reviews about "J" being a good server, and there is no exaggerating about her at all. She greeted me like she knew me when I walked in, and it just continued the whole meal. Lots of seating inside, and a great patio area outside. Comfortable seating for a party of two, and lots of room for larger groups and families. The menu was small but full of really amazing sounding flavors. I'd call it a mixture of Asian-fusion take on some traditional foods. My friend and I shared some Tuna Poke and KFC Bao Buns--yum!! I wanted a sake that wasn't too sweet and asked J for her recommendation. The very unique Matcha Sake was perfect!! Wish I didn't have y buy the bottle, but glad to take it home too. For entrees, my friend ordered the Bibimbap with Beef in the hot stone bowl (+$), and I tried the Garlic Noodles with shrimp (adding mushrooms and spinach for some veggies+$). Both were UH-mazing! The dishes weren't too big, but we still had enough to take home. We'll be back to try some of the other dishes. If you go, tell J ("like the letter") that she's Yelp famous.

    Met here for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Our server J was nice and quick to make sure we…read morehad everything. Ordered pan fried gyoza to start, which were fine. Had a bulgogi bento box (which came with gyoza) so had even more than we thought, and also ordered the Big Kim burger (sauce on the side). Bento box had the usual variety and tasted quite good, and the burger was also very tasty. Thankfully I ordered the kimchi mayo on the side, as I didn't like it. I do feel each entree was a few dollars more than it should have been, so the value wasn't as good as I thought it would be. 3.5 stars

    Ok, first off this is the cutest little set-up. Tons of parking, some in front and lots in the…read moreback. I suggest parking in the back. It's a walk up window spot with the menu and a bell, when you're ready to order, ring the bell. The service is friendly and succinct. Non invasive and just helpful without asking when needed. The seating area is a mix between covered and uncovered, with a small speaker playing contemporary tunes at a respectable level. There are string lights above, and I can only imagine how beautiful this all looks at night. I'd read a LOT about their fish sandwich. That it is a good size helping. That it has a great light fresh vinegar sauce with thinly sliced carrots and other crunchy veg. The fish tasted fresh fried. And I have to say, this is the Best fish sandwich I have ever tasted. I only am upset I hadn't come much sooner. I will have to return, probably on a monthly basis for that fish sandwich. There are enough pictures out there of the sandwich. But I also had the Thai basil lemonade and it was a nice pairing. Not a waste of time, effort or dough. Just go.

    Neighborhood gem tucked away right past the Tudor section of Avondale Estates. I can't believe I…read morehave not reviewed them yet! We bring friends here, and one friend in particular is so obsessed that he was dreaming of their food when he was on a film shoot out of state, and could not wait to get back. You order at the window, and can take it away or eat outside. The place feels like a party when the weather is good. I don't think it is possible to order badly: the owners keep the menu tight, and everything is SO FRESH. When they run out, that's it. (The curried carrot soup will go fast, I've found.) My husband usually gets the vietnamese fried fish sandwich which is delectable with lots of flavor and texture. We rarely eat meat, but I have made an exception to try the Moroccan lamb burger which was worth it. I usually spring for the upgrade to get crispy smashed potatoes instead of chips. And it's worth noting that the drinks are also well above average: I've enjoyed the indulgence of a Bravassi hard Italian soda with my meal on a lazy afternoon, after shopping at the Second Life thrift store. Their drinks are very good, and they serve them up straightaway to savor while you wait for your order to come up. I have not yet ordered a salad but they have an array of excellent / choices, and I know they will not disappoint. I also want to note that although there is not waiter service (which makes it an ideal spot to meet friends) the staff is friendly, and well above average. It's such a great vibe, and a real bonus of living in the area. They also serve breakfast, and I feel confident in their level of quality in recommending them as a stop for anyone.
