Delicious tapas style food. Sweet potatoes are a must

Small plates of great tasting and reasonably priced food. Atmosphere is welcoming and the patio is large. Staff is friendly and they are attentive as well.

I actually drove to the place next door. I’m a u er driver ended up in the area needed dinner. The bbq place kitchen was closed annoying . So I came next door. The kitchen was open at 10:11 so I really appreciated getting a quality bite and drink on the late night. Truly makes a difference I’ll always remember this place when I’m on this side of town. Saw the website while I waited, cute vibe cute backstory and I love the soft wine wall and decor for an also home in the wall vibe. Best of all worlds.

Great vegetarian appetizers. Sweet potatoes, mushrooms, and OMG cauliflower. Went there before a concert and enjoyed the patio. Really nice.

Amazing food, amazing service, a vibe to strive for. With a rotating menu that consistently keeps my spouse and I both happy, this has become a regular spot for us. I love the garlic parmesean wings with the chili kick, and the Entree Specials are always a work of art. For a date, or with friends, this place hits the spot. The changing creme Brule is also an absolute delight, yum yum yum.

I've wanted to go to PH for over a decade but for some reason never went. Until now! And I'm so glad I went. The dining arrangement is a bit odd, with only a few tables in the front to go with the long bar and the patio out back. Apart from the weirdness of this, everything was pretty great. According to the website, the owners decided to open a restaurant after visiting Spain, and the menu does feel quite Spanish / tapas-ish. We had the shrimp skewers with some kind of amazing sauce; the chili mushroom skewers packed a punch; the cabbage wedge was deliciously saucy and bacony. The stand-out small plate, though, was the potatoes two ways, all sticky and caramelized. The service was very quick and attentive, and the food comes out fast, so you can really order 2-3 things, eat, and then see if you're still hungry. We continued with the cauliflower version of hot wings (very good) and the lettuce salad (good, needed more of those pickled beans). Finally, I can never resist a creme brulee, and the waiter steered me away from port and towards the amontillado sherry - genius move. A great experience and we'll definitely be back.

Absolutely a gem! We had the fried Brussels, chicken liver pate, grilled cabbage, and white bean soup. 10/10 all around. Logan our server was knowledgeable and funny - gave us some suggestions as we are visiting from out of town. The seating is 1st come, 1st served so I could see how it might be hard to find a spot on a busy night. The music was at the perfect level and was upbeat. Once it was a bit later they turned down the lights and let the string lights shine above the bar. Our drinks - the Figgy smalls and sangria were delicious and very affordable. Parking is easy and the rest of the neighborhood seems very walkable. If I lived in the area I would certainly frequent Poor Hendrix all the time.

I’m giving them a 5 star but if I could I would give it an actual 4.5 star. The staff is amazing and attentive. The drinks I ordered were to perfection. I ordered the tomato soup wich was seasoned wholesome and had a hit of lightness while also being filling. I ordered grilled bread to dip with the tomato soup. The crème brûlée was honestly better than I’ve had in France (good job guys/girls). However, my main dish of steak and frites missed the mark for me on flavor. The frites were perfect but the steak had a gamey taste or a taste that seemed like it was cross contaminated with mussels. The taste of steak was not there for me. That was my only complaint. It was not bad enough to give lower than a 5star (4.5) and I will be visiting again; I’ll just be ordering a different main dish.

Food, service and drinks are always consistently good, highly recommend;)

Chill spot with incredible food.

Zane Maguet

Overall, this is a good and quirky little spot to grab dinner. The food was unique and combined flavors in somewhat unusual ways. Some dishes I thought worked really well (smoked trout dip, broccolini), but others just didn’t quite make sense to me (trout and grits).

We were visiting from Houston and staying up the street. I didn’t expect mind blowing food but the fries were absolutely dope bar fries. Crunchy and well seasoned. They didn’t even need ketchup!

I had the Italian grinder and also really enjoyed it. My wife loves her grilled cheese. Overall wonderful experience. We are picky and I would definitely return and recommend.
