The food was absolutely delicious--full of flavor and exactly what you'd hope for from a spot serving Southern cuisine. Every dish felt fresh, well-seasoned, and made with care. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service by the owner, Kyle. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right throughout the visit. It created a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere from start to finish. If you're looking for great Southern food paired with top-notch service, this is definitely a place worth checking out.

The other customers were all friendly and made conversation too. Lots of people grabbing a bite to eat here before heading upstairs to the Attic for live music. Now the food! Damn, that was good. I had the special, crawfish and shrimp creole. It had a lot of flavor and just the right kick from the spices. The rice was perfectly fluffy, and I couldn't stop eating the hush puppies. If you're here, grab dat hurricane too. I could sip on that all day, especially in the summer.

We got there just in time, there were already lots of people in the dining room eating and after we placed our order at the counter and got seated, a bunch more people came in.

The biscuit was good; I cut off the top because I am a wierdo who doesn't like butter on top. Always on point, great space, food is really good!

Of course the inside is beautiful and spacious. The service was really amazing from my good friends that work there Bri and Jay!! Drinks: *The Cornbread Sermon - My favorite- definitely unique in a sense that actual cornbread was used in Woodford reserve. *Bayou Breeze - this was a NA drink. Floral forward. The thyme and elderflower you can really taste. Food: *Crab Beignets - AMAZING!! I wanted more than 3. Had a nice crunchy crust but soft on the inside. The lemon aioli was really good as well with it. *Lucy Q Big Plate - great way to experience trying all the meats they other. Only complaint was that the brisket was a bit dry. This also come with two sides which had that Mac n cheese and greens. The Mac was cooked right and very cheesy but to me it needed salt and pepper. The greens were really good. Dessert: *Salted Bourbon Caramel Cheesecake - ABSOLUTELY AMAZING - I wanted not a slice but the whole cheesecake! The cheesecake itself was soft and decadent but that salted bourbon caramel drizzle tasted really good. *Caramelized Banana Pudding Cake - this was a good dessert too. Very dense so I know I couldn't eat all of it but definitely tasted really good!!

The vibe was vibing and that helped this 4 star rating. I was so excited to finally dine here and…read morewould give it another try. Shout out immediately to the Drinks Menu which is very creative, tasty and with a kick! We started with the Bread service and Caesar Salad. The menu advises that the dressing is anchovie base and that drew me in but it was light to non existent, still a decent salad though. Next the Gnocchi was Soo rich and creamy and I would definitely order this again, it is reminiscent of Mac n Cheese but elevated. Onto the Crawfish Pie, was not really sure what to expect but it delivered! Handheld flaky crust pie packed with crawfish stuffing and served with a sort of stewed tomatoes on the side. The stewed tomatoes were definitely something I would not have ever selected but nice. Service was very attentive!! The menu is Southern eclectic bordering Tapas which I enjoyed.

The servers are warm and inviting. Tonight was a karaoke night so the vibes were light hearted around the space. I've been here once before but I was outside on the patio. PLEASE check out the patio if you visit during the warmer months. The guests are always diverse and chill. "Your Place" is definitely the best name for this location. Everyone from the owner to the servers truly make you feel comfortable. A Dutchtown gem for sure.

This past Sunday we ordered takeout from Your Place Diner and as always, the food was absolutely…read moredelicious. It never disappoints! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and prepared just right. We haven't had the chance yet to fully enjoy the chill atmosphere inside the bar area and sit down for a drink or two, but every time we pick up our order you can feel the relaxed, welcoming vibe. It looks like the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a laid-back evening. Next time, we're definitely dining in so we can experience the full atmosphere instead of doing takeout. Looking forward to a fun night out there soon!

Well, it had been quite a while since my last visit to Pappy's, and it's safe to say the food is…read morestill incredible! I went with two coworkers last week and we got there around 11:45am. The line wasn't too long, but I did notice it's set up a little differently than I remember. They now use more of the building, so the line runs down the hallway and loops into the restaurant, with two ordering counters available. While you're waiting, they have menus to look at and even a QR code if you'd rather pull it up on your phone. We ended up waiting about 10 minutes before ordering. Once we got to the counter, everything moved quickly. The staff member helped us right away and let us know they'd bring the food out to our table, which I was glad hasn't changed. One thing I did notice is that the original ordering/dining area is no longer open for seating, it looks like it's now used for staff and possibly catering/to-go orders. They have their drink station available for self-service and offer sodas and sweet and unsweet tea options as well as water. Luckily, there's still plenty of seating in the newer dining area, plus a good number of outdoor tables if you want to sit at a picnic table and enjoy the weather. Within a few minutes, we heard our names called and our food came out fast. And honestly, it was just as good as ever. I was especially happy with the sweet potato fries, and even though applesauce isn't anything fancy, it's kind of the perfect side for me at Pappy's. I ended up eating about half of my meal and boxing the rest up for dinner later, which is always a win. Overall, such a great spot, and I'm really glad it's so close to work. Definitely still a fan and will keep going back.

My research brought me here to Pappy's. I'm very glad it did. Ambiance starts with a line out the door, literally. You slowly shuffle down a long hallway full of Pappy's memorabilia. Then you make it to the ordering counter, order, and find a table. The dining room is huge, plenty of tables, with a full complement of sauces on each table. The service people at the counter were friendly, and so were the people delivering the food. The food came out quick and hot and delicious. We had baked beans and potato salad for sides, and they were pretty solid. Nothing show-stealing, but no complaints about them whatsoever. And of course, we got the ribs. Tender, juicy, a nice bite and chew, a decent bark, just a really wonderful rib. Better than any St. Louis style rib I've ever had back home in Florida. Other states, hard to say, the jury's out, but in that moment, I was eating a five-star rib. So good. We also got a 1/4 pound of the Burnt Ends. Usually, burnt ends are the king of meats, but I think we've entered the phase of America, where they're just another variety of meat and not necessarily upper echelon anymore. That being said, these were pretty ok. Should have gotten more ribs. Overall, Pappy's was pretty wow. Great local spot with a lot of pride and history, excellent ribs, I will definitely try to come back next time I'm in town.

Host was super friendly, got us seated and let us know Charlotte would be our server. She is great, we have had her before and she is friendly and efficient! New menu has some new options and a lot of returning favorites. We ordered our usual loaded fries as an appetizer. I got the 1/2 smoked chicken with mac and cheese (still the only place I will order mac and cheese!) As the evening progressed the place filled up so glad we go there early. Appetizer and entrees were great, as usual. Charlotte was great! Host was great, nothing but great things to say!

Every dish we tried was great. I really liked my Pulled Pork "Sand"- lots of meat on a nicely toasted bun. The sides may have been the star of the show. Loved their Mac n' Cheese (kinda tasted like Bread Co's but elevated), and the bite I had of my bf's Caramelized Onion Mashed Potatoes was delicious. Service was quicker than we expected after seeing how busy they were- even if it took awhile to get our check.

Fried evenly, seasoned nicely and it had a little kick to it. I enjoyed it. The sides though were a different story. I had the collards and potato salad. Both were seasoned, but not to my liking. Not to say that they were bad, as everyone prepares their sides a little different. But the collards had a hint of sweetness and it just wasn't for me. The potato salad as well was missing a little something, in my opinion. The meal also came with a slice of bread but I didn't use it. Kind of felt like a waste. My order was for pickup so I didn't get the full experience of dining in, but overall I would still say that it's a nice place worth visiting. I would go again but would try some different sides.

I haven't been here in a few years - used to love this place, so we decided to spend Mother's Day…read morehere this year. Advertisements online talked about "rolling out the red carpet" for mom, including receiving a glass of champagne, a hand-selected personal gift from the team, and a special Art Deco Goddess coloring sheet for the kids. However, our Mother's Day experience was not special at all. I went with my husband, 2 young kids, and my mother. When the waitress greeted us, she wasn't very friendly and didn't even say Happy Mother's Day when there was 2 mothers at the table. She didn't mention anything about the free champagne...we had to ask for it. We did not receive a hand-selected personal gift. There was also no special coloring sheet for the kids - we were just coloring on the kids menu. Nothing about our experience was special. Next year, I will pick somewhere else to go for Mother's Day. I felt more like a burden here than someone to be celebrated. The food was still decent. I got the pesto chicken sandwich with the bird seed salad. The bird seed salad was the star. Loved the poppyseed vinaigrette dressing and the bruleed apple slice (never seen that before - how unique and cool!). The pesto sandwich was a bit difficult to eat - while the chicken was moist, the bread was very crusty and dry which made the overall sandwich very dry. It was kinda hard to get through. I ended up taking it home and reheating it in the microwave and it was a little better after doing that because it allowed the pesto to soak into the bread and moisten it up a bit. I ordered a scoop of Zanzibar chocolate ice cream with hot fudge and this was truly amazing. The kids menu could definitely use some work - seems more like an after thought. It isn't even posted online to view in advance. I can't remember all the choices, but it was limited. I remember 2 different peanut butter sandwiches available, Mac and cheese, and a "pizza" on focaccia type bread. I put pizza in quotes because most kids I know are picky and this isn't a traditional pizza so we couldn't order this because our kids probably wouldnt eat it especially if the bread on the pizza was as dry and crusty as it was on my pesto sandwich. We ended up ordering the Mac and cheese, which was actually really good and the kids liked it. Just wish there were more options. What was really disappointing though is they served apple slices on the plate with the core still in it...serving apple core to a child is a safety hazard and just plain lazy.

The chicken was cooked perfectly (not dry at all) and the sauce seasoned and sweetened (but not too much!) the chicken to perfection! The Java rice was also absolutely heavenly, and the cabbage atchara/seasoned cucumbers added a freshness that accentuated every bite. Service was super friendly, and there was also a cute and homey set up with sofas, fun chairs, and a coffee table (dining tables were further inside of the restaurant). Would be a great spot to spend time/study!

The owners are very approachable and could immediately recognize us as Filipinos when we were sitting and eating there. The restaurant reminds me of a "fancier" Filipino style like you see in big tourist spots in Boracay. I do admit, the wait is a bit long as we were waiting for almost 30 minutes for our food to arrive. However, I feel like the complaints about it from other reviews are ridiculous since this place isn't considered fast food, but cooked with love. I mean- when I was living in The Philippines, everyone has patience of a saint, especially when it comes to food so I do not see the wait time as an issue. It's not served immediately like karinderya style. I ordered the Filipino-style chicken BBQ and I'd like to say that it's so delicious and flavorful. However, it doesn't remind me of home. I do want to point out to definitely ask for tuyo kalamansi with chili for the dip if you're not a fan of vinegar. I was told it was homemade by the owner and it did not disappoint. The pork BBQ that my father ordered was a bit too hard for his liking, as Filipino meat tends to be on the softer side. The ube banana pudding is also yummy, however, it is way too sweet for our liking. I'd like to point out that Java rice is so good that I think that it isn't enough for a Filipino like me and I personally don't want to pay for another cup of Java rice. There were more sides than rice tbh. I was also a bit bummed that halo-halo isn't in the menu at all, With that being said, I feel like the food and desserts here are mostly catering the American palette, but it would be good for people who has never tried Filipino food.
