"An excellent tap house/restaurant. Marcus was our bartender and made an excellent bloody Mary. Good choice of craft beer on draft. The crab dip with fried bow tie pasta was flat out delicious and hit the spot for a snack."

"Don't listen to that one review from 'emma guin'. This place is great. Boudin egg rolls were not traditional boudin, but very very good. Food cooked to order, the wife ordered the red fish BYO tacos and loved it. Drinks were phenomenal. Looks like "emma" ordered a burger medium rare and got what she ordered and called it 'raw'. All I know is this place is a solid 4.7 out of 5. Would 100% come back."

"First time visiting this location. Ordered the Chicken Thai Lettuce wrap for lunch. The flavor and freshness of the dish was outstanding. Presentation, quantity and price were all reasonable. The restaurant layout was good; decor and use of space were appealing and comfortable. Customer service was good. This seems like a good place for dinner or watching a football game. We will revisit."
