“This was my third trip to jailhouse provisions and they have consistently been very good. We went this time as a party of four. I got the chicken sandwich and friends had the fried shrimp. Everyone enjoyed their food and we had great service.
They offer some gluten free options, have had the burger and the chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich is so good, very flavorful.“

Generous helpings, free drink refills, friendly atmosphere. It passed my wife’s scrutiny, so trust me it’s good.“

“I have been a big fan of Mo’s Pizza for years. Today I tried some other menu options and was completely blown away. The pasta and marinara are excellent. The vegetables are well prepared and fresh. They are not heavily sauced but rely on their natural flavor. The roasted potatoes were exceptional. Service was very friendly, prompt and professional. A real plus is being able to get a first rate meal without having to sit in traffic for an hour. Plenty of free parking more bonus points! Highly recommended!“

Food was delicious, brought promptly to our table still hot and fresh out of the kitchen. Due to its size, when all tables were full it was a bit noisy, but well worth the noise for the food and service. Don't skip dessert!“

“There's nothing low about this country boil, it is all high caliber. I ordered a sample of all they offered and everything was fresh. Even the andouille sausage's spicy flavor was a pleasant surprise. Quantities were ample. Condiments were provided. Their boil seasoning is steps above Old Bay, with a slight kick depending on how much you use. I utilized their suggestion to use their signature brew for the boiling. On the subject of brews, I partnered this feast with their popular and equally flavorful Taco Life Mexican style lager. On top of everything mentioned, I now have a souvenir bucket in remembrance of a great meal.“

I think I had 2 little shrimp in my shrimp taco – portions pretty small. Didn’t give us the burrito we ordered. Might try again next year for lunch.“
