My gf and I finally stopped in yesterday to try Ballyhoo Grill. She's not much on seafood but her coworkers wanted to go. We didn't know they had happy hour so we instantly ordered 2 rounds of Bloody Mary's. $12 for a Bloody Mary on happy hour is not much of a deal if you ask me, but we didn't find that out until we received the check. First bloody came out very thin looking and was very watered down, second came out a little darker but still very watered down....
I LOVED my food. The atmosphere is so cute and the table where I was sat was quiet. Indoor outdoor seating, they ask your preference. Gumbo is DELIGHTFUL, spicy shrimp appetizer is delicious, everything we had was amazing. First time here, but plan on becoming a regular. Plenty of parking spots Our waitress Brooke was very sweet and fast.
Must be a local place, many seemed to know each other & the band members. Smoked scallops were wonderful & shrimp & grits were good. Too many things on the menu we wanted to try. Had a limited beer selection (if you don't drink the commercial brands), wish the staff was more attentive, wanted another beer but was never asked till we were done.
