Horace Hunter Jr.June 24, 2018One of the best racks of ribs I’ve ever had. The meat fell off the bones. Excellent recommendations and service by Denise! Will definitely be back!!
Best place for ribs in the city!!! I'm ashamed to admit that I've never tried anything but the ribs, but they're THAT DAMN GOOD!!!!! I promise to try the rest of the menu...eventually'
Jorge ChavezDecember 31, 2012Filet mignonette is to die for...like butter :). Atmosphere is so chill. Martini, shaken not stir....ever so nice.
Dee MicciOctober 21, 2012Food here is great. Be sure to wear a collared shirt , made the mistake of going in with a t shirt on but they gave me a shirt to wear and let me keep it .
perhaps by the 4th or 5th time you visit, you'll be ready to order something besides the ribs- and you will be pleasantly surprised! Best sides= black bean soup and twice baked potato yumm
Laura NewmanFebruary 24, 2013The grilled calamari, the minestrone, the tomatillo 'n' chicken soup, the ribs and jamablaya, the chicken .....oh my this place is a gem.
Pecan crusted red fish excellent slaw with a little kick perfect. Free dessert priceless.
Andrew WhiteDecember 3, 2014I had the jambalaya and tryed my girlfriend's ribs. Both were excellent. Eat here
Had the pork shop with mash and peas, huge and delicious.
Anthony ZJune 9, 2011Yes we know the ribs are amazing. Get the potato skins appetizer and the bread pudding desert to complete this awesomeness.
Great food, good atmosphere, great live music, bar staff friendly, best ribs in town
Bobby CorrellJanuary 11, 2012Of every restaurant I've e we eaten at, this is my absolute FAVORITE!!!! Amazing!!!!
Marco JimenezJanuary 7, 2017Service was just okay, but the food was great for the price point. A drink an appetizer and dinner for corporate chain prices
The ribs are fall-off-the-bone fantastic! Order the full rack.
Arielle IndiaJuly 16, 2015Typical family restaurant atmosphere with typical italian cuisine. A decent option for a last minute dinner choice. Not all that authentic, but certainly good enough for the price. 7/10
