Pizza with pepperoni, sausage, Canadian bacon and mushroom
Bee W.

Came back for drinks because the place we were at was not his fav. Grace was working and they were playing song bingo. Fun! Lots of people tonight. It was a friendly atmosphere with people singing. Every Friday is bingo. Head over!

Bob Marley drink. Taste's great.

Cool place to drink with friends and family while you get a great meal and listen to some live karaoke. They dress up for Halloween and even have contests. Their food is awesome the blackened chicken Alfredo is bomb and the smash burger that's a new one is very good. There staff is very prompt and very nice a caring they take good care of all the patrons and they love they people. Great service

Jambalaya & chilli

What a hometown little bar/dinner/hangout spot is suppose to be.. Seems like two different vibes day and night I love it.. It's my goto fo lunch since working from home. Chilli and Jambalya in this insane weather. Everything is great buffet looked solid. Service is top notch probably my favorite place in area.. Cannot wait for my return.

First of all, this isn't a cafe it's really a bar. With that being said, it's a great bar. I ordered a simple pep pizza and lemon pepper wings. The wings were amazing!!! I got there a bit early so I decided to have a drink at the bar. Service was excellent, food was superb. Highly recommended!!!

Blacken Chicken Alfredo pizza

My husband recently picked up Alfredo pizza and it actually has noodles in it which was a surprise but we thought it was great. Also, the wings are A plus we have only ordered delivery but we will definitely go in and see it one of these days. Great food.!

Blackened chicken Alfredo is the best. It's literally a pasta on a pizza. Can't get anything like it anywhere else.

The food was ok. My salad barely had any toppings. Gumbo was too salty. Louisiana plate was pretty…read moregood. Not busy at all during Sunday lunch. We asked for the check, and was told there was a "corporate situation" where we had to leave a review to receive the bill. I couldn't believe it, so I repeated, "we have to leave a review just to get the bill???" The answer was yes. Our bill was being held hostage. We were stunned as our waiter told us we'd "get points for reviewing" (not restaurant points btw, these are Google points) and pressured us to scan the QR code and stood there watching to make sure we had put 5 stars on everything. When he saw I was hesitant to do so, he said just one of us could do the review to get the bill. This is unbelievable business practice and extremely uncomfortable. For this reason alone, I cannot recommend this establishment and will not be returning.

Came here on a weekend, on a game day - I was surprised it wasn't as busy! Really good place to be…read morefor sports, TVs everywhere for any game that's on. There's not a bad seat in the house, where you can't see what's going in so definitely a plus. Food was okay. They hit the mark on their appetizers! We all enjoyed the waffle cheese fries, mozzarella logs, & boudin balls. My friends had the lemon butter chicken, both said the flavor was good but that the chicken was a bit dry, they did enjoy the cheese corn grits. Pasta alfredeaux, my friend thought it could use more seasoning. I had the cajundilla, it's a heavy entree. There's a lot of flavors in there but they needed more than just onions to bring some freshness to it. I did enjoy the red beans & rice that they came with. Seemed like the sides were better than the main part of each entrée. Cleanliness 4/5, nothing is ever going to be perfect but the restroom needed more attention than what it had been given & our seats where kinda "eh" upon being seated. Staff & service, 5/5. Excellent! Shantiva was our waitress. She was attentive, polite, patient, & was knowledgeable about the menu. Great personality! Really any staff member we interacted with was super nice including the hostess & the servers that helped being our food out. Easy to pay by QR code, very convenient. Prices are fair, with lots to choose from on the menu. Overall a good experience!

Buffalo Wild Wings is a restaurant chain that provides a great gameday atmosphere. Honestly, I…read moredon't come here for the food (especially the wings), but if I want to enjoy a game with a crowd BW3 makes my list. My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Return) Atmosphere - Buffalo Wild Wings leans into the sports theme pretty heavily. There are TVs all over the walls. If you're looking to watch a game, there's a 90% chance it will be on TV. If it's not, just ask. I made my visit during the World Cup and NBA Finals, and our section was pretty full. Speaking of which, BW3 appears to have one section with bar height seats and tables and another is standard height. 1 Star. Service - I read many of the 1 Star Reviews, and they all complained about the service, but I've never had bad service here. Upon entering, the host/hostess asked how many were in our party and then directed us to a seat with a perfect view of the game. Then we met our server, who was very friendly, attentive, and always smiling. We felt very welcome and never had any issues with getting help, even as our section was getting crowded due to the NBA Finals on TV. 2 Stars. Food - Ok, I don't like the food here. I come for the atmosphere, the wings are over sauced, and all the appetizers are fried. That being said, their Cheesesteak was decent (cheese + beef always a good combo), and the toasted roll held it all together, but it was the only thing that was good. Even the desserts couldn't wash away the taste from everything else. Wings may be in the name, but I'm not a fan. No Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. I don't come here for the food. BW3's great for watching sports and cheering for (or against) the teams on TV. It's a fun experience and is cheaper than going to the game in person. Playoffs are fun and I'm betting so is the World Cup. 1 Star.

Service was ok but food bad, overcooked and burnt. we returned the an onion rings order twice and…read morecouldn't get it right. Last year good but not anymore.

So happy we stopped by to celebrate National Margarita Day! They had a $10 special for original,…read moremango, and fresa margaritas, which was a great deal. For an appetizer, we enjoyed the ceviche along with the complimentary chips and salsa. One of the best parts of having a cocktail and appetizer here is the authenticity of the flavors. The margaritas were made with fresh ingredients instead of syrupy mixes, which made a huge difference. The Ceviche ($14) was made with pez dorado (mahi-mahi), tomato, lime, jalapeños, onion, and avocado. The lime really enhanced the freshness of the mahi-mahi, making this late lunch one I'd happily have again. I'm excited to try out more of the menu! It was also great to learn that this is a family-owned business that takes pride in providing excellent service and high-quality food. We'll definitely be back!

Pricing is a fabulous bargain, service was spot on helpful. We always enjoy the local casual ambiance.
