    The red beans and rice are outstanding!
    Leslie K.

    I just had a fantastic lunch at Velvet's Big Easy in Parkland. This place is a hidden gem! The owner and chef, Brenda was warm and hospitable and the food was beyond good! I had the red beans and rice with chicken and will be dreaming about it until I come back. My husband had catfish and grits and was instantly in love. He's very particular about catfish because his mother used to make it for him and it's the standard that everything else is held to. This is the first time I've ever seen him completely satisfied with catfish in the PNW. Needless to say, we will be back! We were told that they have live jazz music on some weekends so it will be great to combine an excellent meal with some live jazz. Thank you Brenda for a wonderful lunch!

    Ordered online from Velvet's Big Easy with a 17-minute pickup time. Showed up after 20 minutes and it wasn't ready. The cashier was polite, but the owner came out and loudly scolded him, saying she told him the day before to change online orders to a one-hour wait and "the dasher will have to wait." I wasn't a dasher--I placed my own order. This was my third time trying this place, and it's been disappointing every time. I support Black-owned businesses, but the food is overpriced for the quality and the service was unprofessional. Won't be back.

    Etouffee!

    This might just be our favorite place to eat in Lakewood/Parkland area. They haven't missed once, servers are personable and fun, the live music is great, and Miss Velvet herself is such a sweetheart. We will be back again and again!

    Cute! Very warm greeting from owner and staff. We arrived in time for HH. At the time they were doing a HH promotion for one free piece of fish and fries with purchase of a specialty drink. The fish was good, hot and fresh. Fries were okay too. Dill sauce went well with fish. Tried the hot sauce, on the sweet side. Had several drinks to try the menu and decided to order the red beans and rice which comes with chicken wings. It was decent. The lady tending bar was friendly and worked well with customizing drinks and open on ways to improve cocktails. Decent place, a little pricey. We would return.

    The food was great. Great collard greens and the spicy coleslaw is a great idea. First time seeing it on any menu. The shrimp were also great, maybe too salty for some. The catfish was good too. The Johnny cake was awesome and probably a staple if you come here to eat. Also had live music which sets a great ambiance. Probably would've been to loud if I was in the main dining section but since I was in the bar was perfect. Service was top notch too. Already planning what else to get the next time I come through

    The food was very good. The ambience is amazing and the customer service is decent. The best part of the ambience is that the owner/chef for herself, came out and checked on us and asked what we thought she was very kind. Our server was not very descriptive and good on selling what we Should eat or suggesting I will say I was highly surprised that the pork chop meal was a dollar more than the seafood plate. The sizes of the sides were not big enough. In my opinion I wouldn't have liked to see different options of hot sauce besides just Tabasco now the dessert beignets in both of our opinion they were not cooked enough a little chew deli and overpriced. We won't be ordering those again. We did ask for fried cake or fried pie, but it was not available so I will definitely be back and next time I will try the catfish and a large side of greens conveniently located with an ample amount of parking

    When you walk into Velvet's Big Easy, you were taking back to New Orleans. The walls are beautifully decorated, and you do not feel crowded. Service is very good, you feel like family. The food is amazing. Everybody cleaned up their plates. I would strongly suggest the red beans and rice or the shrimp Poboy.

    This place is a hidden gem. It's right of Pacific and 146th tucked off the main drag. Very clean, great decor, great parking, wonderful service. The food was probably one of the best things I've eaten in a long time. Ordered Red Beans and Rice, Collard greens and the peach dessert. I only have wonderful things to say, food was hot hot hot, presentation was amazing and every flavor was out of this world. The owner and chef came out and greeted us after our meal. This is what dining should be. Drop what you are doing and get in there, you won't be disappointed.

    See all
