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.

Heaps Pies is the place to go to try New Zealand meat (or veggie) pies. I got the steak and…read moremushroom one, as suggested by the hostess, and it was delicious. The pies are about $12-13 each and they're very filling. The flavors are strong and tasty, and I would gladly go back again to try another one. The place itself is spacious with both indoor and outdoor seating. There's plenty of parking in the lot outside as well. Big shoutout to the girl working there. I wish I knew her name but she is so bubbly and kind and I really appreciated talking to her for the brief moment that we did. Great workers like that are rare to come by!

So I kinda love Heaps…read more Heaps specializes in savory NZ-style pies. Since they really focus on the pie thing, they do it very well. I wish there were more restaurants that did this in America. Limit your menu size to the things you're the best at doing! The pies are incredibly flavorful and deceptively filling. They do rotating special pies that are always fun to try. And the people that work there are pleasant and inviting. Heaps is the spot!

I typically use chocolate chip cookies as a staple to assess the overall quality of ingredients. I actually have to say I DISLIKED the chocolate chip cookie-- shocking. I think they use cheap chocolate (specifically milk) when (call me biased) I think it should be sparing uses of dark chocolate. Lastly, I ordered a DELISH Fig and Brown Butter Muffin. Sooo unique, but I KID YOU NOT there was a quarter-sized pieces of plastic baked into it. I chewed it before realizing and (thank god) spitting it out, but now I have a paranoia that I ate some.

Also love the vibe--laid back, friendly, and easy to just stop in, grab something good, and go. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to.

It did cause some mega bloating shortly after I ate it, but fortunately it was short-lived. The roasted vegetables were fantastic. They came in a little Tupperware cold, but they had a microwave and I hated them up for 45 seconds and they were so good. The broccoli, the beats, the Delicata squash all had the most lovely char. I could eat that every day.
