    Tasty AF beer
    Macey M.

    Over the last 3-4 years, I've visited Jive maybe once or twice a month. It used to be a really fun vibe with pretty good drinks/beer and a friendly staff. The last few times I've been, they have been out of nearly every beer or it's been the worst draft pour imaginable. I always get the Saloon Door Tasty AF - it was super flat this time and the previous time. I get Jive is a local dive bar type but the service has gone downhill significantly, to the point that I wouldn't go back. Last time the bartender "jokingly" threw our credit card at my husband's face when we closed out. This time the bartender kept asking us to do stuff that would "Make his job easier" - like leaving our drink on the coasters despite him not even putting our drinks on the coasters. I love a good dive bar and don't think I have high standards but it's not much to want your beer to not be flat or to have a friendly bartender.

    5 star for an amazing dive bar ... yes, they have touch tunes. Tonight (Monday around 8:00-ish was out of ordinary in terms of the kind of music playing: hard hard rock Korn limp bizkit tool etc - I enjoyed it. There were about 10 folks seated around the bar (not bad for a Monday). The venue has darts and pool and a horseshoe bar that seats about 18-ish. They have karoke some nights and most Saturday evenings, it is pretty packed. They do MEASURE their pours, in the for what it is worth column. When I go during the days on weekends, pretty slow, only about 4 or 5 seated. Oh, and they do have food - bar food. Anyway. Dive bar away, you'll like this place if you like dive bars.

    I have been living there in the area for about 10 years now and I've never stopped in to jive bar lounge. I'm really shocked and I'm barely finding out about this place. We really enjoyed our time here. Very smoky, and one of the patrons has their dog all over the place. I mean I love dogs but not everybody loves dogs so if you bring your dog and you need to be a little bit more considerate and don't have your dog begging for food from everybody. That was quite annoying! Nice dog tho. Food: the food is the real winner here! The southwest egg rolls were so dam good! They came out piping hot and we were not given plates so they kept spilling. The wings were very good! Cooked to perfection. Some really amazing wings! The food here is excellent! Service: is quite slow as there is only one lady working this entire place. She definitely tries but needs some help. No way one person can tend to this many folk. They do have pool, darts and shuffle board games. Only drawback was got dam. So much smoke. I feel like I have lung cancer now.

    My first time ever having frito pie and omg I been missing out! The crawfish was flavorful and the sausage on the stick was good! I'm tempted to go back again for the incredible prices.

    Savon is an amazing bartender.

They were playing great R&B music throughout the night. There was only one server for the entire place inside and outdoor patio. He was really great, but extremely busy.

They were all good except the samosas that tasted liked a frozen boxed item. We also ordered a burger, chicken sandwich, wrap, and meat platter. The food was good, but nothing fantastic.

The party was smoking hookah so there was a strong smell in the air. But we were willing to endure it. When the waiter came to take our order, I ordered a Diet Coke. The waiter was not sure if they "still" had Diet Coke. After a cpl or seconds of back and forth he concluded that they did not. NP, I ordered water. The same thing happened to my husband, he tried to order three different types of drinks and settled on water. Then came the food order...I tried to order beef kabobs, which they were out of. The excuse was that because they get busy for lunch, all the kabobs get ordered then. (This was on a Saturday...) I settled on steak kabobs. Then my husband tried to order lamb shank, nope they did not have that either. At this point, we thanked the waiter and informed him that we wld go somewhere else. He said ok. That's it. Kind like ok, don't let the door hit on the rear on the way out.

I called and the guy argued with me, said at first there should have been 8 shrimp in each then after waiting came back and said there should have been 4 in each. All sketchy, no one should ever order or eat there. The absolute worst place and experience I've ever had. Oh, the guy tells me to call door dash to figure it out. The guy clearly doesn't know customer service and how to make things right. I'm not even a complainer, just got ripped off for almost 50 bucks for noodles and sauce, 6 shrimp between 2 meals. It's pathetic and ill blast this place as long as I can because I can't stand being ripped off.

    Quotes just don't know how long I've been waiting for the opportunity to stop in and check them…read moreout. Better late than never, but dang- I wish I had come sooner! It was my birthday but I had a funeral to attend that afternoon. On this particular day, it also was raining, HORRIBLY, so I was really doubting that I would get a chance to do something later, but I decided to see how far Quotes was from the service. Depending on what time we got out, if there wasn't a repase, AND the weather giving me some grace, I would stop by for an early birthday dinner. Thankfully, Mother Nature gave me a break and let me and my Mom enjoy a nice late lunch at Quotes, which not only had delicious food but exceptional customer service. Soon as we came to the front door, it was opened for us to step inside. We were greeted and shown where we could keep our umbrellas if we felt comfortable leaving at the front door. The hostess lead us to a table and asked if the location was okay. Once more, when our servers, Diamond and Ty, came to our table for our drink orders, I was asked if we were celebrating anything. I mentioned my birthday and was later on surprised by a slice of cheesecake. I didn't have the space to even eat it because I was fat full from the food and drinks I had before dessert arrived! First off, we came at a great time because we were able to try their entrees at a discounted price. Even the drinks are discounted during the lunch hour except their signature and customer fav, the lemon drop, with good reason! The flair that it is presented to you is phenomonal, but the taste is exquisite. It was so smooth I had to slow down from drinking it. I'm usually not too big into drinking more than one drink, but it was my birthday and the drink was GOOD, so another round had to be had! I even tasted my Mom's drink to see if there was something else I should try. I ended up sticking with my Lemon drop and the second one did not disappoint. As far as the food, I did ask for suggestions on a few entrees. I ended up getting the fried catfish and grits while Mom ordered the shrimp tacos with a side of asparagus. Although Mom raved about her tacos and even stated she wish she could make them at home, the asparagus was salty to us. We did send it back and in response, Chef Trini came out personally to ensure the second make was to our liking, indicating that the blackened seasoning would be available on the side. Please tell Chef Trini that this was the best asparagus I EVER tasted. It was cooked to perfection and no seasoning what so ever needs to camofluage the fineese that Chef cooked it with. My entree was also delectable and delicious with the marriage of fried catfish and grits smoothered with creole crawfish sauce (say that three times)! I love my catfish fried hard and not salted to death. Quotes presented both and it intermingled with the grits graciously. I couldn't eat the entire entree because 1. It was a big portion and 2. We had enjoyed an appetizer, the spinach dip and cauliflower garlic bread. It is a MUST to have! We are spinach dip fans and Quotes not only has one of the best Spinach Dips I tasted in a long time, but the creativity of making cauiflower garlic bread is chef's kiss. You would not even think you were eating cauliflower. It minds me more of pita bread versus tradional thick garlic bread but the flavor is there and compliments nicely with the spinach dip. Both the appetizer and my entree not only made great evening and next day breakfast meals but tasted even better later and the next day. That's when you KNOW you've eaten some good food- it taste even better later. Even the bday cheesecake was insanely epic the next day. I can't say enough about Quotes. Great service and food as well as beautifully decorated space that truly leaves you inspired. Thank you Quotes- I will be back!

We set at the bar to get quick service, however the food took forever by the time we receive our food, it was very disappointed and the presentation was trash . My chicken look like it has been dip too many times and didn't taste good, the waffle was hard and dry. Plus I don't know who on grist duty in the back, but they need to be replaced because you really can't mess up grist but they did. Cajun fish was alright, but the smother in crawfish saue was more like crawfish pasta. Last but not least Cajun doesn't mean to throw a lot of season all or kanye pepper on the dish, So Please Stop. We had tortilla chip with a crawlfish cheese dip. The chips has so much season all on it that it was ridiculous.
