“I am late writing my review but I had to write it !! I visited provare chicago On july 8th !! From start to finish this restaurant gets 5 starts . The decor was nice and set a perfect atmosphere for a great night . We were greeted immediately upon arrival and seated within 5 minutes of being there . Once seated the wait staff began their introduction's on drinks and popular menu item's. After my party ordered drinks and appetizers a gentleman came over (not sure if he was the manager) and introduce himself and made sure we were having a great experience. Appetizers were amazing!! We couldn't wait for dinner!! Our entrées we just as good if not better ! Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection! When we didn't think the night could get even better the entire wait staff and the gentleman that came over before stopped and recognized my friend for her birthday and brought over a birthday surprise!! I live 307 miles and this place was definitely worth the drive !!!“

“Came in right as they opened on Friday for lunch. Ordered bbq gulf shrimp po boy, half fried chicken, biscuits, Cajun fries, and red beans and rice. Food came out hot, well seasoned, and delicious. Fried chicken was exceptional-- fluffy, light, and flavorful breading.Kid friendly atmosphere for lunch. Our toddler told us the red beans and rice were spicy but he kept going back for more.We'll be back for sure.“

The lamb chop, beignet waffle with fried chicken, and short ribs with red grits were absolutely mouthwatering. Each dish was cooked to perfection and the flavors complemented each other well. I recommend going with people who enjoy new things. Clearly I had an incredible experience and a wonderful time there. Cheers to more delightful brunches in the future at CheSa’s.“

“This place is amazing. I went to NO a few times in my youth. The first time I went I got red beans and rice right on the street and decided I probably never needed to eat anything else ever. This place brought that back to me. Through sausage on it. Might be gilding the lily but maybe some lily’s like it.The rigamaroo was so freaking good. The po boys were spicy and deliciousThe gumbo. Lord the gumbo. The flavor, then”juice” the gravy…whatever it’s called.l. So good…but I want it to have shrimp in it though…or maybe crawfish…but I might die of deliciousnessCountry music makes me very sad so I took one star away for ambiance. It is the old school stuff so only one point taken away.“

It was so good!!!!! Their fried pickles were also a 10/10 with the ranch for the dipping sauce.I took my boil home to enjoy the next day and it was very good. This place did not disappoint.“

We each had dinners, he choosing 1/2 baby back ribs, Mac and cheese, cornbread. I had 1/2 slab brisket, Mac and cheese and collard greens. Side portions were generous and the collard greens were fantastic! Mac and cheese was terrific and the meats were just perfect. Service was great and price was just as great. Washed it all down with classic Margaritas. Great addition to neighborhood in same spot Fat Willy’s left when closed for good.“

“A solid 4.5 experience! It’s crab in a bag, if you’re expecting a fine dining experience then you’re in the wrong place. Highly recommend the Garlic Cajun option. Service was so friendly! $90 total for two pounds of seafood, an app, and two sides. Very much appreciate the hand wash station in the back - it’s a messy (but fun!) dining experience.“

“Went on 4/29/24 for the first time. And when I tell you it was so worth it. There is a $25 entry fee that trust me is so totally worth it. The Band playing that night was from Memphis and they were top notch! And to all our surprise, Buddy Guy himself was there. Towards the half way point he made a appearance and oh boy was we put in for a treat. He did about 4 songs along with the band. Amazing night! I had the catfish tenders with fries they were good but overshadowed by the amazing performance. Drinks were good as well. If I could rate it 10 stars ? I would. I absolutely loved this place“

“YOOOO the gilty pig is insane! They have "popped up" at my farm a few times now, and each time I am amazed by the flavors and complexity they bring to "simple dishes". They take a brat and turn it into a full asian inspired meal. Now if the food wasnt enough, this truck could not be run by two better people. They deserve all of the awesome things that are coming their way. Keep killin it, guys!“
