Delicious fish tacos! I asked for my Bourbon lemonade to be diluted to cut the sweetness a little & it was perfect!

I ordered the fish tacos to go & the total was 19 bucks with tax & tip. It came with 2 tacos & the fish were overdone in the fryer. The service was great & great vibe but I found the value & quality poor for the price.

truly our kind of place-& we can't believe it took us this long to discover it. A long-standing favorite for many, it now firmly holds that title for us too. The space is intimate & refreshingly straightforward, with great food, great drinks, & prices that feel more than fair. Every part of the experience hit just right.

The brisket sandwich was divine: melt-in-your-mouth tender, perfectly smoky, & deeply satisfying. The shrimp po' boy was phenomenal, & the fish Baja tacos were nothing short of incredible. Add to that drinks that were as fun & well-crafted as the lively atmosphere & music, & you've got a place that knows exactly what it's doing. To top it all off, the service was genuinely lovely. A total win from start to finish.

Amazing across the board!

The service was impeccable, thanks to Zach & his team. I highly recommend the margaritas with your meal. I tried the fish tacos, the fried chicken tacos & the crispy tacos with beef & I was impressed. Everything was delicious, although the fish was overcooked & therefore quite crispy! If you can make it for dollar wings, take advantage of it!!

A cute little place for a bite. The Po' Boy was fantastic, as were the Fish Tacos. They have a great $14 Margarita between 5 & 7pm. Un petit restaurant génial!
