The Smoked Bloody Mary is brilliant, especially on a Sunday morning. Rauchbier in a cocktail? Hell yes.

Kirsten the hostess is a rockstar. Totally on top of the water and menus thing.

Chicken and waffles no longer on the menu - Tuesday night chicken fry only.

If you go anywhere else for Mardi Gras you are stupid.

Took my partner for his BDay and we won't be back. Food poisoning for the both of us! While it could've been that one time, it only leaves one to guess how unclean that kitchen/staff are. #disgust

The square breakfast is the best "boring" breakfast in town. Gumbo is pretty swell too.

Slow service. Free beignets but they're denser than others.

You must try 'Death of St. Germain' cocktail: refreshingly balanced.

Big Jones elevates grits to an art form. Skip 'boring' breakfast and get the eggs romero.

The brunch "country fried steak" is NOT actually country fried, it is just a steak.

Most people say "Beer Me" but here you should say "Beignet Me"

Don't sit by the windows on a cold day. The draft is really bad.
