“We started with the crab dip and it was outstanding. Most of the main dishes were enjoyable, even though one item did not quite meet the same level. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere made the visit relaxing and pleasant. I would still recommend stopping by and plan to return, hoping to explore more of the menu next time.“

“If you’re on the hunt for a unique and cozy spot, The Brakes Bar is a hidden gem you simply must check out. But keep it under wraps—I’d love to keep it our little secret. What truly sets The Brakes Bar apart is their commitment to quality. They source fresh herbs straight from their own garden and even brew tea for some of their cocktails. These thoughtful touches make each visit feel like a special occasion. And get this—live music is a regular occurrence every Thursday and Sunday from 5 to 7 PM. It’s the perfect ambiance to sip on a delicious drink and catch up with friends.“

“Looking for a new place to try on Google maps and came across Pink Agave. A group of friends and I decided to give it a try. When we walked into the restaurant was still decorated with Mardi Gras theme. Looking around there is plenty of seating, indoor and outdoor. The service was great. The food was good and the music wasn’t so loud that you couldn’t have a conversation with the table. Beer area and look at to try something new give the spice a try and I believe they have two more locations in different cities.“

“So I’ve been to Veracruz once before, to meet up with some friends for some chips and drinks. So I was pleased to do a date night at Veracruz. The atmosphere is like an elevated dining experience with the decorations and with a Latin theme. We started off with the corn dip, which is very good. My wife got the shrimp quesadilla and she loved it. I got the chicken and steak fajitas and I use some of the corn dip to make my tacos. Wow the flavors melted together extremely well. All in all a great dining experience.“

“It's actually under a new name, Smoke Bayou. It was very busy but it was worth the wait. The service was solid, and the food was excellent. The beans were rich and flavorful, the slaw was crisp with well blanded dressing, the meat was fall off the bone, and the seasonings were deep with just a bit of bite. Outstanding. Give them a try.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful experience“

“So my experience at City Pork on Highland was amazing. The interior was clean and modern. I believe our servers name was Aisha, and I was honestly having a bad day and she made me feel so much better with her kindness and hospitality. My meal was the Pork Belly Hoagie and I would rate that an 8.5/10. I think if it had some pickled onions on it to balance the richness from the pork belly, it would be even more amazing. Although it did come with a pickle, but I didn’t really care for that, it was too sweet for my liking so I give that a 4/10. I also had a side of coleslaw, and it had this peppery taste, which I actually enjoyed, while it was still sweet (but not too sweet) and crunchy. I’ll give that a 7.5/10. My husband got the smoked chicken and he would give that a 9.5/10, because he wanted even more because it was so good.“

“Absolutely surprised. Great service, great bartenders, appetizer of lamb lollipops was so good we ordered three extra. Redfish was really great. We will be back soon“

“The food was good, but the drinks were better!! Came on a Sunday to celebrate a friend’s birthday. We ordered bottomless mimosas and tried every flavor, lol needless to say we got a lil tipsy. The service however was not that great. I dont know maybe our waitress was going through something and brought it to work with her. But she brought the wrong orders twice and was just kinda spaced out. Anyways we still had a great time.“
