“Went here on MLK day when it was freezing outside. Jenna served us at the bar. Food, service, and atmosphere did not disappoint. We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip to start. We ordered were a steak and the Orion Salmon. They offered several draft beers on tap. Loved all the poster art and exposed brick. Bathrooms were clean. We'll be back.“

The comedy was also pretty raunchy. The crowd didn’t seem too interested either. At least the food was good! Once we got it.“

“My 341st 'cue stop in a 35 state odyssey brought me here for lunch. You order your meats first, and once you receive the plate, you move on to load up your chosen sides cafeteria style before finishing at the soda machine (coke products). A 2 meat (sausage, brisket), 2 sides (dirty rice, peach cobbler) plate with a diet coke ran a very reasonable $16.34. The chopped brisket proved lightly seasoned with a strong pink ring. The sausage was serviceable, the dirty rice terrific, and the peach cobbler surprisingly bland. If I was taking it home, I would add a spice to improve the flavor profile. The Texas toast is a nice touch. In sum, if you are in the neighborhood and hungry for 'cue, this is worth a stop.“

“In town for second night and in search of a new place I used YELP. Calla came up with interesting reviews so off to Calla we went. The restaurant is on the second floor of a small French revival styled building in a mixed residential /commercial subdivision. Needless to say it's an attractive community, clean and nicely landscaped with other businesses worth trying Once we arrived by elevator to the second floor we chose outdoor eating. In door looked comfortable but the outdoor is great. The screened in porch keeps away bugs, it's heated with fans also and has soft theme lighting Our server Camille took good care of us. Calla has an excellent lineup of custom cocktails but I went with wine We started with the wedge salad, a nice portion of a head of iceberg lettuce with cherry tomatos, pickled red onion and instead of bacon they do thick cut pork lardons The pickled onions and lardons were a great twist on a wedge salad and the blue cheese dressing had the proper punch to it - definitely homemade. We also had the assortment of house breads a piece of foccaccia , olive rosemary and sourdough with two custom butters . The bread was good but note although it's custom it's not alot and it's considered an appetizer so your gonna pay for it where other restaurants may offer it complimentary For entrees we had the fish of the day, redfish with crab meat and an herb sauce - I thought this was excellent my guest would have preferred it less dressed to appreciate the fish more : tomato/potato to each their own I went with a handheld - the crispy chicken. Sandwich with honey Sriracha sauce, picked red onions, pickles, bacon strips and a sub on the side ...macaroni and cheese instead of fries. DANG. . One of the more memorable sandwiches I've had. Chicken breast was juicy and perfectly fried crispy- piping hot. Sriracha and pickled onions had that sweet and sour punch - this Sandwich size was the FULL PORTION. Mac and cheese side was SO savory. Hot and just cooked to order it too came with lardons - high end custom Mac and cheese for sure Great restaurant with little to pick on I would definitely visit again“

Only issue we had was that he was also our server and had more interest in her customers at the bar than us, so we felt neglected, refills were scarce and we had to get up and wave her over... All great review from me tho I loved the place it was quiet and video poker is a plus.....“

Their potatoes were to die for! Note: no one under 21 allowed. No artificial sweeteners for the coffee. Only sugar. Their service was pretty good for a bar and grill. The decor in the place was nice. Great music by Rusty Abshire!!!“

Asked for an additional napkin and was brought lemons and a warm towel to clean my hands.Usually get the catfish and red beans/sausage. Looks like shrinkflation has hit Landry’s. Food was good but portions seem to have gotten smaller.“

“The atmosphere, band, drinks and servers are great. The food is really lacking.....Went for brunch and the music. The brunch menu is pretty limited. Had the queso dip last time and it was not good. Took forever to come out and tasted awful. This time was going to order the beignets only to find out they aren't actually beignets.... So we ordered the chicken cracklins. They were not seasoned enough. Came out hot in paper bag but were very dry. Will try something different next time.Had the Sterling with cranberry juice added. Tasted good but glass was not filled. Second drink requested a full cup and that's how it came out. Shouldn't have to ask for that.... Server was great and took good care of his customers. Told us about the Friday night specials. Will come back to try that.Heard Brandon Ledet who sounded great and put on a great show! “
