    It's hard to go wrong with biscuits, fried chicken, and greens.
    Andrew R.

    Stopped in here because I was already in Eastman and wanted to eat somewhere I hadn't eaten before. It's an excellent southern food buffet. I went with green beans, brussel sprouts, collards, friend chicken, and biscuits. The fried chicken was great: had plenty of flavor and not too salty. The green beans and collards were absolutely delicious. The brussel sprouts were a bit softer than I'd like: I understand that some of that was the effect of sitting under a lamp, but I figure that to compensate they should initially be cooked to be just a little bit crisp so that the time under the lamp doesn't make them too soft. The biscuits were also great. I always appreciate biscuits that can stay soft while under a heat lamp (especially because I am a bad southerner and don't have them with gravy). So this gets props from me. There wasn't any fried shrimp out this time (which I'd been looking forward to from another review), but that just gives me an excuse to come back again.

    Food was fantastic. The fried chicken may be the best I've ever had. Don't let the buffet style fool you. The food goes fast so its always fresh. Wonderful experience all the way around.

    Great lunch buffet!

    Super Sunday brunch. No wait with tons of seating. Great value. Fried chicken and sides were excellent. We will definitely go back.

    Orleans On Carroll - Fried okra with hot ranch

    Stopped by New Orleans on Carroll Street and had a great meal. The fried chicken over creamy grits…read morewith gravy isn't on the menu, but it was recommended by a former worker and it did not disappoint. Crispy, flavorful chicken with smooth, buttery grits made for a perfect combo. The egg rolls were also solid with the dipping sauces. Overall, good food and a nice vibe. I'd definitely come back.

    We ate here last evening and I want to start with the good first: the restaurant itself is…read morestunning! Very sleek but warm at the same time. The outside is beautiful all lit up at night. It is very upscale! Our server was nice but not intrusive. We received refills on time and requests were honored very promptly. My daughter ordered a mixed drink and it was good, she also ordered the Chicken Avery and she really enjoyed it along with the garlic green beans. The not so good (in my opinion): I ordered shrimp and my husband ordered the ribeye with accompanying mac n cheese and baked potato. The Mac N Cheese was so soupy you needed a spoon to eat it. Soupy in a watery way not a cheesy way. Baked potatoes were just alright. The skin was great with salt & oil. The inside was either overcooked or not fresh. Several of us ordered the potato and we all felt the same. The $50 ribeye was bland and chewy. My shrimp were comparable to Captain D's . I hate to say that but when I tasted of them that's all I could think of. I think it had more to do with the breading than the actual taste of the shrimp themselves. It was my daughter's birthday and she ordered the crème brûlée. She enjoyed it. The top was nice and crunchy but not warm. The entire thing was cold which was odd. All of the food we received wasn't hot it was warm at best. This is probably a one and done for me just bc the price doesn't reflect the quality of the food. We don't mind paying for something really great but when you feel let down after eating it's tough to go back.
