“Had the catfish poboy at uptown night Market! They told me 15 minutes was done in 15 minutes. It was a large fried catfish filet and it was perfectly crispy. I think the tartar sauce may have needed a little more salt but overall great experience. Reminded me of Louisiana“

“What can I say about this amazing restaurant, Bird Dog. Not only was the food absolutely amazing, tasty and presented perfectly, the staff was kind, attentive and extremely friendly. Bird Dog gives very New York vibes with a soft Southern hospitality touch. I’m not only saying this because I’ve known the owner/operator for over 15 years but because the food and experience was great! Recommend to any/all foodies local and visitors to the area.“

“This place is a gem! I was craving Mac and cheese and when I looked at the menu decided to check it out. Incredible food. I got the rib dinner with collards and mac and cheese. The dinner comes with four big St. Louis ribs that had a really nice bark and great sauce. They were tender but had a nice chew (because ribs shouldn't fall off the bone) Collards were well seasoned and not soupy. The mac and cheese was incredible. Creamy and perfectly seasoned. The portion was huge. The banana pudding was fantastic. It actually tastes like banana because it's not just vanilla pudding with cut up bananas. I got two meals out of this dinner.

The service was also fantastic. While I was waiting for my order to be prepared I was given some tastes of other items. The turkey and cobblers were great. The owners are incredibly friendly and we had a lovely conversation. Check this place out! I will definitely be going back.“

Nicolas and Dilson served us wonderfully, you don't need to be behind them because they are always looking out for you. The atmosphere of the place is incredible, its decoration is impeccable and at this Christmas time it smells exquisite. They also have two excellent bars, pool tables and much more, of course we will return next time to dine at this place. Cesar Gasca“

“Chef Monique & her team provide a culinary experience for your soul! The food we catered (Mac & cheese, greens & cabbage mix, along with jerk salmon) were all delicious with the perfect amount of heat. The dishes were beautifully presented for us upon pick-up to warm easily for our gathering with specific warming instructions to prevent drying out. Our family appreciated the hands that prepared our feast. Chef Mo goes out of her way to make sure details are met with a smile! I would highly recommend everything on the menu.
Thanks Chef Mo & your Team! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽“
