The staff is amazing and I even got a hug from Mama Carol. Oh, I can't forget the catfish that was my favorite dish. Seasoned to perfection! Her portions are plentiful you will not be disappointed. I would recommend going there to eat when you have time to sit and enjoy your meal it will be worth it!

It's not often I crave bbq, but tonight was the night. I've driven by this little BBQ hut for the…read morepast few weeks and it's intrigued me. While they DO have clam chowder, the bbq is why I was here. We did the family combo which was $37.50 (the website said about $10 cheaper so I was a little surprised) and easily feeds 3-4 people meat and rice wise. It also comes with a slaw, but it is a small portion. I am not a fan of the slaw. We also didn't get the other side advertised. I loved the pulled pork. The chicken was good. The ribs were fall off the bone tender. Great meat portions for the price. Will easily feed my household for two meals. Very friendly staff and it wasn't a long wait for the food.

Delicious, fall-off-the-bone ribs, and great chowder. There was no line at the food stand, and it…read moretook me about 5 minutes to receive the foil pan of the half rack of ribs that came with rice and slaw and a chowder, which comes with two rolls. The chowder was incredible, with huge clam chunks that were tender, not chewy, with celery and other yumminess.

I ordered the rib special (not the lunch one) for $12. The ribs looked amazing and were delicious. The collard green were up there with the best I've ever had. The fried okra was very tasty. The service was a tad spotty but I can overlook that since we were early and the front of the house help was late. The menu has something for every taste. As we were leaving 9 red hat ladies came in. I will definitely say the bbq was very good, I would say better than Johnston's. You can also get pork chops, burgers and much more. Give this place some love. I offered a little advice about taking care of the 9 ladies because many had not been there before. I'll come back again.

I can understand why it's a James Beard Winner! The corn fritters are super yummy! We were given a mixed berry shake and that was so refreshing, creamy and delicious, that I could have drank a gallon of it! The servers were very friendly! The ambiance is family oriented and very comfortable! What a wonderful place and hope to be back soon for more chicken, corn fritters and mixed berry shakes!

We had a blueberry and then a pineapple/ caramel shake... like an upsidedown pineapple cake! I tried the chili fries bc I always want them... and they were exactly what I expected- so much chili and cheese everything was soaked The fried chicken was delicious and seasoned just right. Big juicy pieces. Coleslaw was sweet. I ordered the Sriracha chicken sandwich but I took it home, too much to eat! I would definitely go back. It was a value for the cost and the staff was the best.

Bacon, Ham, Sausage, Reindeer Sausage, Egg, and yes a Hashbrown too! First of all it's stacked! Almost like you gotta dislocate your jaw to get that bad boy in your mouth, but when you do it's like Flavor-Tastic! The creamy chipotle and mayo adds a perfect element to this burger. Everything you want for breakfast is packed and stacked. I ate half and then came back to it an hour later and finished it. If you skipped breakfast like I did that day and it's lunch this just totally hits that Brunch Vibe spot your taste buds crave! I absolutely loved it. Looking forward to seeing them at other events around town.

Major plus: they serve a tasty mushroom and Swiss burger, decent fries and tater tots. Later in the evening, I reheated Mrs. E's chili dog. Very good! Our friends shared their Philly Steak, chili and the famous Boom Ba Laddy (bbq pork, grilled onions, peppers and potatoes covered in cheese). All selections were outstanding and made for an excellent evening. The prices were reasonable, too! Watch for this truck in and around Anchorage and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! 12/22

Here is a gem in a far off place from the basis of its inspiration. I'm on a strict diet and could…read morenot try many things and I don't like wasting money so I got a small dish that I could tolerate eating. The BBQ shrimp it was. Now anyone who knows about this dish understands it's not the same type of BBQ like we do ribs and chicken. This is a butter sauce that's seasoned to creole standards and served with French bread. Typically it's served in shell however these were peeled and served in the sauce. I'm not mad at this as I didn't have to get messy to peel the shrimp and dip the sauce etc. it was nice to eat it with a fork and already doused in the sauce. The bread was easy to dip and it wasn't salty. I'd love for my New Orleans born friends to make the trip in order to check this place out. I went early in the day shortly after opening so it wasn't salty not crowded at all and the host whisked me to a table with a good view for people watching. They were able to handle greeting, serving, and bartending between the 2 of them and not lose any grace or standards of service. I explained my dietary restrictions and the young lady was happy to navigate me through the menu. They have a full bar that I'm interested in delving into but I had to work later that day so water and soda were sufficient.

I will say they are 5/5 for friendliness…read more But for Cajun food they are lacking. What they did good was their French fries and nuggets which their fries are battered. For a kids meal this is a really big portion. For Cajun food it lacked flavor and was kind of just weird. The red beans were bland, Lacked real seasoning, salt and had chunks of carrots. The gumbo was alright but not good or exceptional by any means. I did like that the okra was fresh enough to not be slimy. But it had no spicy appeal, and lacked the holy trinity. It also wasn't oily which was nice. The jambalaya was outright bad. It tasted sour and just really off. It was also like a soup instead of a rice dish. To top it off there were chunks of shredded cheese in it. Crab cakes were alright but the dressing for it was incredibly mustard seed heavy. My husband was a fan of the sauce, but I really wasn't. The buttered bread was good. I can't foresee myself coming back just because it lacked the bold flavor I expect from Cajun food and tasted pretty weird. If I ever gave it another shot I'd probably try a poboy.

It's run by Crush Wine Bistro which is one of the nicer restaurants in town nearby so you're definitely getting a local, nice fare while at the museum. There are a handful of vegetarian options including 2 salads, baked make and cheese, falafel, a grilled cheese sandwich, and a couple of bowls. So a decent amount of things to choose from along with wine, beer, and non-alcoholic drinks galore. My wife and I shared the goat cheese salad which we thought was really fresh, good, and hearty enough for the two of us...especially when I added the grilled cheese sandwich...a very slightly upscale version of a basic grilled cheese with American cheese...no bells or whistles here, possibly a tiny bit saltier than I would have liked it to be...but not over-buttered...it was almost like it was very lightly grilled or baked even so, despite it being a grilled cheese, it felt a little bit healthier. You order at the counter and they bring you your food into the dining area which had plenty of comfortable places to sit. I don't know that we would head to Muse on it's own, but it was a perfect and satisfying place to go while visiting the museum.

I know it gets its tourist price tag at $18, but if you, like me, usually wanders around Hudson Yards, you'd know a $20 salad is kinda the regular... and the salad is much much better than Sweet Green!
