But everything else exceeded the high expectations I'd had from reading reviews. Chicken was best ever. Salisbury Steak was even better.

After just a bite to try, I went back for more of cold salads. Staff was courteous and competent. I'll go back for sure.

I'm an out of state visitor so forgive me in advance.... but that fried chicken... gawd dang! Super flavorful, crispy, juicy. I'm not particularly a fan of the surprise menu aspect because I'm greedy and I wanted oxtail and catfish... and fried chicken. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. Plenty of seating. The surprise for me was the cornbread that was more corn-bready and less cakey. Remember my disclosure above about being from another state..but when sopped up with that yam juice... flavor bomb! Honestly can't wait to go back and try their other offerings.

I had really high hopes for Martin's just because I know that sometimes the best food places are…read moreunsuspecting. The place is not the cleanest-- floors needed vacuuming, chairs were held together with duck tape.. but I pressed on hoping the food would redeem the space. Service was friendly. However, it was awkward listening to the waiter/waitresses/hostess/ kitchen staff have a conversation with each other across the entire restaurant. This was especially true after a patron sent something back and the kitchen came out loudly exclaiming that they wanted to see the food that "wasn't good enough." I had the fried chicken, greens, okra, and mashed potatoes. The chicken was fantastic. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and the tastiest fried skin/breading. That's where the goodness stops. The turnip greens were flavorless and complete mush, as though they had been sitting on the heat all day. Mashed potatoes were clearly from a box based on the consistency, color and flavor. Gravy had no flavor as well. There wasn't enough salt on the table to make it all better. The okra came out about 15min after we got our plates. It was fresh, but again, flavorless. My husband had the fried pork chop. It was just okay -- cooked well, zero flavor. Butter beans were good flavor wise, but definitely seemed to have been sitting for a while. It was odd to us that the only things you could get to drink were water, tea, lemonade, milk, and coffee. The second star is only for the chicken. I doubt we'll go back because the above experience for $50 is not worth it.

I could've eaten another piece by itself! The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the yams. They were a little too sweet for my liking. The inside has a cool, laid-back vibe, and the service was great. After struggling to find some good food during our visit, Double Down Bistro definitely came through!

There was a significant fly problem. The bayou classic had potential, but the rice was hard and underdone and also cold. I replaced the bayou classic with salmon pasta. They also were out of almost everything I wanted to try ... oysters, collard greens soup, and banana pudding. I really wish I had more positive to say, but that is my honest opinion. The tea is really good and they did remove the price of the Bayou Classic, but overall I'm disappointed in my experience.

It is run by a husband-and-wife team from catering, food preparation to being the entire waiting staff - just the two of them doing everything. The food - southern cuisine - was already laid out buffet style in the main hall. At the far end of the hall were desserts. Drinks of water, orange juice and sweet tea were in the dining room to the left of the hall. Now the dining room is large enough area to accommodate a party of 40 (there were 28 of us). I don't care for southern cuisine, unless it's seafood. But I did like both fried and baked chickens, spinach and cabbages; had multiple helping of them. I wished rice was included. The abundance of spaces between the tables helped in reducing the noise level. I sat at one of the smaller tables so that helped a lot. The overall decor evokes a pre-1980s feel, and apparently so is the upkeep of the building. The service was good enough that I would have given it at least four stars. Then I went to the men's restroom. When I finished my business, I turned the doorknob to unlock and it came loose. I though: was the door unlocked the entire time? This was shocking. Anyone could have entered. For that, one star is removed. (Had someone entered while I was *ahem* busy, I would have deducted two stars.) The restroom doorknob issue is enough reason for me to not recommend O'Dessa's Blessings. I hope the owners have done something about that.
