Found Carlotta's online yesterday looking for Fried Fish locally. This establishment is…read moreapproximately 12 minutes from house. It's a local dive bar. It's tucked away in a residential neighborhood. When I walked in it felt comfortable. The vibe was your family friendly neighborhood locals. I sat at the bar to place my order. I like the friendly relaxed vibe, pool tables a live Dj on a Tuesday evening was a nice touch. I ORDERD THE FRIES WHITING PLATTER My sides were Mac n cheese and string beans. I also order 2 single whole Fried wings and a side of sweet potatoes. The fish was crispy not salty nice portion. The flavor was good not salty or greasy or over cooked very pleasant to the taste buds! I like it very much The yams had a lot of nutmeg, it overpowered the actual sweet potatoe taste if you like that.. The string beans, Mac and wings were good I paid $42.00 for the platter 2 wings a side of sweets and 2 drinks. My money went a long way here. I really enjoyed the food. This is a must try !!! You won't be disappointed. You might actually find your self back a second time because it's just that kind of vibe!!!

I told her early in the night that I was driving so I wanted one drink only. And as the night went on, people kept asking to buy me drinks and she said nope, she's driving, no drinks for her! I love a girls girl!! Now on to this good ol southern cooking. LAWD HAVE MERCY! I felt like I was in my nana Alabama kitchen all over again. That whiting was finger-licking good. It was fried just right and the flavor was perfect. Them collards?! I couldn't even wait to get home to eat them with my bra off. They were DELICIOUS. That baked Mac n cheese was old skool with no extra bs in it. The pull was perfect and the consistency was on point. I will DEFINITELY be back... more times than I'd like to admit lmfao. Thank you Carletta's!!!

The food is supplied by the adjoining restaurant Booker's Restaurant and Bar. With that you should have a great dining experience. The Bayou Jazz Lounge is open Wednesday-Sun 5-11pm.

Keep in mind this is a busy are in West Philadelphia so parking is at a premium but free!

Two fully operational restrooms for men and women. The place has an old school vibe to it--not all newly renovated or designed but the antique aspect to it made it fee so much more intimate or home-like. Price was pretty decent too! We had the space for approximately 7+ hours and the building manager Mr. Ernie was very pleasant. I would definitely recommend this place for various functions. Pros: PRICE, location, ample parking, full kitchen and two restrooms. Cons: the place was only made available to view on Tuesdays after 6:30 but that's no deal breaker

The mint tea was delicious and the hookah had great flavors. If you're looking for a nice, chill way to spend your night I highly recommend this place!

First things first: B Que's is MUCH larger inside than it appears from outside. There are 2 rooms: to the left is a room with 3 pool tables (APL league teams shoot out of here on Thursdays, at least), the entrance leads right to a long bar staffed by at least 2 fast and good bartenders. There are tables all around the main room, which is divided from the pool room by low walls and beaded light strings. The atmosphere is comfortable and warm (as in friendly and low-lighting, not temperature) The music was great. It's a jukebox, but the bar serves an older crowd so it's a little more laid back and let's relax than some of the other bars in the circuit. Thursday nights are Karaoke, which was pretty painfully funny. There is an old white guy who comes in every week and messily, ridiculously, slaughters the Temptations (i think it was My Girl) and Sam Cooke's Cupid every week. The Karaoke lady was pretty darn funny and they offered 2 separate $25 prizes for singers (the guy who won really killed Michael Jackson and left him bleeding in the gutter-- he won for the sheer and dominating awfulness of his performance). Before 7 pm you can get 2 for 1 on apparently all drinks, though i only grabbed lagers (2 lagers for $3.50 is a beautiful thing, lemme tell ya'). After that, my lagers were $4, but they did have specials on other selections. They sell bottles of water for $1. Almost everyone there was doing their own thing with their own groups, but bad Karaoke makes for cross-friend-group communication and just about everyone there was pretty friendly. Almost everyone-- there was this miserable old man sitting at a table in the exact center of the bar (by the "doorway" between the two rooms). He was all by himself all night, I didn't see him say a word to anyone, never even saw a crack of a smile. Turns out, he's the owner. By the way, they ring up your drinks by actually SCANNING the barcodes on the bottles. This man is not playing around with his bar. If you shoot pool, you'll probably really like it here. If you like karaoke, you'll love it here on Thursdays. If you just want a relaxing place to have some cheap drinks and listen to some chill music-- BQs is the spot for you.

This was my second time ordering from them & I am pleased again w my food. I ordered the full chicken wing platter w bourbon sauce on the side, potatoes salad, Mac & cheese & yams on the side. I will say this place is like any other the food is always some type of different but good. The yams this time were out of this world, even better than last time. The fried chicken is nice & crispy. The only thing I would say is I feel the chicken needs a bit of salt. But still good. The bourbon sauce was better this time also. The Mac & cheese is good but weird in texture. Idk how to explain it. The potato salad is delicious!!! To wrap this up I will be back it's definitely not a must spot but it is good & hit the spot.

Now this might be because I grew up in the south but the greens were ok not my favorite but I would eat them again. I personally prefer them to be more cooked and soft but they have a pretty decent flavor. Now the Mac was my least favorite. It is basically noodles and pepper. Mine BARELY had cheese. It's mac & CHEESE. Where's the cheese

I had the pleasure of experiencing this cozy, rhythmic lounge on Friday night. I have driven past…read morethis establishment more times than I care to say but I always thought... I'm going to check them out one day. I'm grateful I finally made "one day" happen. I received the weekly email reminder that The Larry Price Quintet was scheduled to perform. I read the bio and really liked that Larry Price had his students accompanying him. The Venue: Intimate and cozy with a fantastic sound system. The Cuisine: Asian fusion with healthy portions that are huge on flavor! What We Njoyed: Deep Fried Wonton Strips - w/sweet and spicy Asian dipping sauce. 5/5 Suyun's Famous Shrimp Fried Rice (mild and medium) the medium has jalapeño heat and it definitely has a little kick. 5/5 Jamey's Special Wild Caught Rock Shrimp Tempura w/garlic chili aioli, broccoli florets and jasmine rice. 5/5 Lemon Drop Martini and Mitchell & Mitchell Cabernet Sauvignon Everything was delicious and I'm not sure what they season their broccoli with but ummmm yummy! The Performance: Superb.... Standing ovation!! As Jamey mentioned when he introduced Larry Price, "He's been around the world more times than Santa Claus"! Mr. Price certainly has Santa Claus energy and magic on the saxophone. He has to be an extraordinary educator as well since the 4 young men that made up the whole of the quintet sounded as if they have been playing for decades. I wish all of them much success in their future endeavors! The Staff: We were greeted by Jamey when we walked in. The gentleman working the bar, the lovely waitress that single handedly worked the entire venue and the Chef's were all delightful and a major part of why I'll return. If you enjoy live music, great food, great people and a cozy lounge atmosphere, treat yourself to a show at Jamey's House of Music.
