The jambalaya has just the right kick, the macaroni is rich and creamy, and the baked beans have that perfect smoky sweetness. Honestly, I could go on and on about the food because everything I've tried has been consistently delicious and made with care. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. The portions are generous, the service is always friendly and welcoming, and the overall experience keeps me coming back. Every penny is absolutely worth it. If you want real, flavorful BBQ and good Southern cooking, this is definitely the spot.

Today I had to go to my follow up from my full knee replacement so afterwards my wife & I decided…read moreto go here. Sweet Daddy's use to be down in Mandeville many, many years ago but they decided to close down the second location. My wife got the chopped brisket sandwich and she truly enjoyed it and she said it was delicious. I had the boneless rib sandwich with corn nuggets and green beans.. Again everything was truly great, with amazing smoke flavor but not too much! It was so good we decided to get The Kick Off Deal for my daughter & her family because she had a Cochlear Implant done today. She and my son-in-law both have called to tell me how good it was since then. We even brought a pound of chopped brisket & a full rack of ribs home for our house. Y'all need to come back to Mandeville!!

My wife and I live in Kenner and have been enjoying lunch once a month for many years with another…read morecouple who live on the North Shore. We have our favorites on both sides of the lake, but I recently read some great reviews somewhere online about Crazy Pig Southern Kitchen with locations in both Mandeville and Covington. After speaking with our friends we decided to dine at the Covington location of Crazy Pig Southern Kitchen. Inside the entrance, the restaurant posts their policy that you will not be seated at a table until all parties have arrived, which is understandable considering the huge amount of business they have. My wife and I arrived before our friends who were running a little late. The Hostess, Jill, asked me how many in our party and I told her four, but the other couple was running late and would be arriving in about 20 minutes. We took a seat in the empty waiting area inside the entrance. The restaurant appeared to have only one or two empty tables available inside when I arrived on a beautiful day. Five to ten minutes later the waiting area was full (approx. ten people). The restaurant was extremely noisy with all their customers enjoying their meals and conversing with friends/family. I noticed that there were approximately ten tables located in front of the restaurant in a beautiful covered patio, so I asked Jill if we could have a table outside once our friends arrived in about five more minutes because one of them was somewhat physically handicapped. There was only one empty table in the patio at the time. Jill explained that since she had a reservation in the patio for a party of eight that would be arriving soon, so she had been holding it for another available outside table to put together to accommodate this party. However, she said she would gladly give us the table. By this time, the waiting room was full of people and overflowing outside the entrance. I had given my seat to a lady and stepped outside to wait for my friends, who I noticed had arrived and parking their car. I told Jill and she seated us at the table in the patio. The four of us ordered different things on the menu, which were fantastic. Although the restaurant was packed, the waitress AND Jill visited our table several times to ensure we were enjoying our meals. Crazy Pig Southern Kitchens' ambiance, service, menu items (along with portion sizes) and prices were absolutely astounding. We were all very impressed and grateful for a beautiful dining experience. Special thanks to Jill who was abundantly pleasant to deal with. Crazy Pig Southern Kitchen certainly placed Jill in the right position.

It was a great October afternoon overlooking the trailhead and the Louisiana ambiance was notable. Service was especially welcoming, with a server who well understood the menu and was eager to share her knowledge. We enjoyed a range of favorites, including specialty sandwiches, crispy Brussels sprouts, bib salad, Caesar salad with chicken, and some frosty brews. Although no one did dessert, there were several tempting ones available. Lots of good things going on here. Spoke & Barrel is highly recommended!
