The food is supplied by the adjoining restaurant Booker's Restaurant and Bar. With that you should have a great dining experience. The Bayou Jazz Lounge is open Wednesday-Sun 5-11pm.

I was so happy to see that The Wine Garden will still operating amidst COVID-19, replacing their outdoor benches with smaller, socially-distanced tables, and a revamped bar setup.

Went to The Ridley House today and was really disappointed with the service. Our server took a long…read moretime to come over initially, and after that we barely saw her. Our drinks were empty for most of the meal, and we had to ask another server just to find her. One of our drinks was made wrong, and when we finally got her attention, she seemed annoyed she needed to come to our table and actually walked away while we were still talking, which felt really dismissive. What makes it more frustrating is that there's an automatic 18% gratuity even for small tables. I ended up having to tipping $22 total, and for only seeing her a handful of times, it definitely didn't feel deserved. To top it off, when I mentioned to the head bartender (who was acting as the manager) that I wouldn't be coming back, he pulled $40 cash out of his own wallet and offered it to me to "give them another chance." It honestly made me feel so uncomfortable and was not an appropriate way to handle the situation. The food was fine, but the service and overall experience were not. For the prices and the built-in tip, I expected much better. I will not be returning.

I'm not liking the service here. There appears to be one person working the tables in the bar area…read more We were seated at 2:28pm. We placed a drink order approximately 6 minutes in. I ordered the soft serve margarita but they were out of cherry so I settled for one flavor only to hear the server offering cherry flavor to the next table when they arrived maybe 35 minutes after we arrived. We placed our food order at 2:40pm. I received my margarita at 3:09pm. We received our food at 3:16pm. I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was really good. The thick steak like fries were fine. We asked for the bill and it took about 20 minutes and she has to be reminded when we saw her walk by to bring the check.

After popping my food in the microwave for 60 seconds, after a few bites I trashed the whole order. The Beef Tips were overcook, extremely tough, simply inedible. If I could give this order less than 1 star, I would in a heartbeat! The only good thing is, I received a full refund from Grubhub. Presentation: Not Good Taste: Flavorless, Extremely Tough, Inedible Value: Not worth 20.00, A lot of Injera but the portion of Beef Tibs was small (In my Opinion)

Food was plenty and very flavorful. The injera was less sour than prior ones I've had…read more We got 2 combos (Abyssinia 2, meat) and an extra order of lentils (I believe??) for 4 people. Personally I think the veggie bits were better than the meat but that's just preference. I wouldn't order the lamb again bc I thought it was a tad too gamey and tough to eat. There are bones with some of the meat options. Overall, I think it is very hard to go wrong with a pick - just personal preferences would influence what I get next time.

I almost thought it was closed, but nope! There wasn't a big crowd, but it was a Monday at 7pm. A bunch of regulars enjoying the space. It was fairly loud with music. Super friendly folks working here. Our server was very sweet and made some recommendations as well as advised the specials for the night. Small hiccup with the beer I was served, but it was wet, so I drank the beer I was given. Ordered up the baked clam special. BBQ sauce and cheese was an odd combination, but actually quite good. I had the mussels and spaghetti for dinner. I asked for the Diavolo sauce, but not sure I received it. The sauce was not spicy at all, but some added red pepper flakes did the trick. The mussels were fantastic and a ton of them too. Spaghetti was cooked well and swimming in sauce. Small loaf of warmed bread for dipping. My wife had a chicken cutlet sandwich and she found it a bit bland if I'm being honest. She dipped her bread in my sauce to give it a bit more flavor. They put on the home run derby which was appreciated. All in all, a fun stop. Not quite sure I'd return unless I needed a place to hang before that next run to PHL. They were very nice and appreciative of the business and we enjoyed our time dining here.

I found this spot on Uber Eats and I ordered some food there out of the blind because I never heard…read moreof this place or even saw it on Yelp. I ordered 2 entrees, the chicken Alfredo and a wing platter. The chicken Alfredo comes with a choice of broccoli or spinach and the pasta they served was a thick rigatoni with a very thick Alfredo sauce. I chose it with broccoli and a sprinkle of red seeded pepper. The pasta was cooked just right and the sauce was tasty. But I called it chicken 'shadow" Alfredo because I was going blind looking for the chicken. In addition, the dish was sort of small for the price. The second entree was chicken wing dings with a terrific Asian sweet sauce, along with baked mac & cheese and something called Cajun potatoes. The wings were "fried hard" as they say in the 'hood. I'm not fond of any foods cooked so long that they're dried out. The Cajun potatoes were horrible, if someone from Louisiana tried this a fight might break out. The mac & cheese was great, baked to perfection, creamy and cheesy and it was the only reason I didn't give them 1 star.

The inside has the remaining old bar probably from the previous owners and a room full the paneled walls. There are no upgrades but the high top table and chairs are new. But it clean, bright and open. The draw to this place is the food and customer service. We walked in probably looked unfamiliar with the layout and definitely new, so the manager or owner greeted us and cleared off a table that had business paperwork. They have a fairly decent menu, open kitchen that you can see clearly everything going on in the back. I ordered The jerk chicken Alfredo it was absolutely delicious and a good portion. Although we were across the room the one bar server made a point of checking on us making sure we were okay with our drinks. What I return I want to say yes at the very least to order food to go. It's a winner.

Dessert was tiramisu (fresh, light, and tasty) and limoncello cake (seemed slightly hard, maybe too cold?). Overall, an excellent meal. Cocktails: all were great. Art of Life, Angry Bird Margarita, etc. Service: waiter was very attentive and the waters were filled often. Very minor issue was management of utensils.
