    Creamy Guacamole
    Heather B.

    Our server Elizabeth was great. Everything was brought out quickly. Had the Pollo Tulum which was cooked to perfection and hot when it arrived at the table. The margarita was good, but not worth the price. The restaurant was very clean and not overly noisy. I would definitely go back again.

    Steak fajitas

    Phenomenal service, fantastic food, great drinks! We always enjoy our time here. The service is quick and the food and drinks are consistently tasty!! The portions are large. The atmosphere is always nice and inviting, and the bar is a perfect place to watch tv or just sit and talk with the perfect level of music in the background.

    Enchiladas Supreme
    Paul M.

    My standby at any Mexican restaurant is Enchiladas Supreme. Their menu describes it as "Four rolled corn tortillas, one ground beef, one shredded chicken, one cheese and one beans. Topped with enchilada sauce, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream." I asked that the bean one be replaced with another cheese one. I will say it looked different from most of the enchilada dishes I've seen. It looked fresher, maybe because of the greens on top. It was a lot of food, and I wasn't able to finish it all, but it's definitely something I'd order again. The layout of the place is kind of focused on the bar. Booths and tables are mostly off to one side. We were seated by a very large table (at least 10-12 people) so there was a little more of a wait, but the staff was friendly and generally attentive.

    I came in to grab a quick lunch. It took maybe five minutes to get my order ready. Super friendly staff. Looked like a fun bar that they had and plenty of seating inside. The salsa was really yummy. My burrito Loco had chicken and I really enjoyed it. I'll definitely be back to check out more items.

    Beef chimichanga lunch meal
    Alicia P.

    Ate from the lunch menu today. Had a beef chimichanga with cheese sauce. The sides included were refried beans and rice. See picture. All of what is shown along with a drink was around $13. The food, service and atmosphere were very good. Definitely recommend!

    Food had no flavor at all. Everything is over priced. Cheese dip is water, just not good at all.

They no longer have French toast so I did have to pick something different. Our server was Caitlyn and she was very attentive and friendly. There were five of us and we all ordered different things I started off with the pineapple and orange juice mimosa. Once some of us realize that we wanted a second one we ended up getting a bottle of champagne and we were able to get three juices with it. We picked pineapple, orange, and lavender. Lavender was a little too syrupy for my taste. And for $24 you really can't beat that. I got the crabcake Benedict with two hash brown sticks. It was so delicious. I can't wait to go back and get some more. This is a really cool restaurant because it is in an old elementary school that they turned into businesses when you go into the hallway it's like you're at a school which you are. If you go to the bathroom the toilet seats are very low to the floor. They do not take reservations, but when we got there on a Saturday morning at 11, there was no wait. When it's busy, parking can be complicated. I will definitely be back for brunch. If you haven't tried it I highly suggest going.

The food is pretty decent , a four and a half mostly but everything else has gone down in my opinion. The place was so very loud this time that we could barely hear friends sitting right across from you. Besides the noise, the service was pretty bad. Took drink orders right away but we had been there almost 30 minutes and had to beg to get orders taken. Then at the end, waitress disappeared. We finally had to pay up at the bar. Really 20 people should have had a dedicated waiter or at least one not so busy! Last thing was I thought the whole restaurant needs a deep cleaning, from floors, menus, rest rooms to tables. Just not pristine. And required 20% tip for groups was not earned! Highlight was shrimp and grits for $13.99 was delish and hubby enjoyed Shrimp Alfredo. Waiter charged hubby $4,99 for a beer when menu clearly had price at $3,99! Only a dollar but just not great service.

Now let me be honest, when I pulled up and didn't see a line, I got a little nervous. Like is this a hidden gem or am I about to learn a life lesson? But curiosity won. The staff was friendly, no complaints there, but y'all know how sometimes you need that one person to say, "BABY, get THIS!" yeah, I didn't get that kind of guidance. So I went with the fried fish and fries. The fish looked like it was about to change my life. Golden, seasoned, photogenic, all that. Took a bite and it was good but I wanted a little more crunch. That's on me though, because I didn't ask for it extra crispy. Lesson learned: closed mouths don't get crispy fish. Now the fries? Whew. They came through crispy and did NOT play with me. Overall, solid 4/5. I'd definitely go back, just with a special request next time!

I really was looking forward to trying some of their whiting fish, but they were out unfortunately. I tried their catfish with fries, and the dish tasted pretty good. It was seasoned very well and served hot. I really enjoyed their seafood gumbo. This soup definitely reminded me of New Orleans. I would suggest more soup than rice, but it was still delicious nonetheless. All in all, Nawlins Style was pretty good. I'll definitely have to come back when they have some whiting fish. Ohh and just fyi.. they don't have yellow mustard. They only have spicy mustard. So if you want some mustard with your dish, you might want to bring your own.

The first time we waited around 15 minutes at a table before anyone acknowledged us, and the second time was basically the same experience sitting at the bar. Friendly service definitely wasn't the strong point here either. That said, the food honestly saved this review from being much lower. The wings had a fantastic sauce with great flavor, the fried pickles were crispy and addictive, and the fried green tomatoes were genuinely delicious with a really solid batter. Even the beers were ice cold and crisp, which fit the vibe perfectly. The biggest issue is that the pricing feels a little high for the overall experience and environment. If you're charging those kinds of prices, the cleanliness and service really need to match it better. If you're coming strictly for fried bar food and cold beer, you'll probably enjoy it. Just don't expect attentive service or a polished atmosphere.
