I had an allergic reaction because of Second Line. I have a shellfish allergy and asked if one of the dishes could be served without shellfish and they said yes so I ordered it. After eating a few bites I had an allergic reaction, and at that point we found there were still crawfish in the dish. I had to leave dinner with my friends and seek medical care. The manager offered a brief apology but didn’t comp our food. It was a really scary situation and only happened because of the carelessness of the staff. Also, it had taken us an hour to get our food after ordering it. Our waiter was nowhere to be found during that time.
And apart from this experience, the food is awful. I’m from Louisiana and can tell you the food is not authentic and is actually really bad. I have other friends from Louisiana who live in Memphis and none of us will eat here.

I had the best time here! Thank you to Cam and Sophie for the great conversation and even better service! The drinks come out quick, the food is delectable, and the decor is on point for Halloween. It’s feels comfortable and elevated — the best combination. This is my new go-to spot!

One of my favorite Memphis restaurants. The menu is a great collection of New Orleans/Baton Rouge deliciousness. And it is one of a handful of restaurants nationwide that meet that bar.
Their roast beef po boy is tied as my favorite in the world with Chimes in Baton Rouge. I’ve found close in NO, but not this well executed every time. The rest of the po boys are incredible as well, that’s just the highest bar to hit for me. The bread is Gambinos, but it and everything are better than places that cite that for legitimacy.
The cheese grits are “fancy” but delicious. The right consistency, cheesy, but not enough to be overwhelming. Red beans and rice are great. Shoot, the fries are great.
The cocktails and beers are great, especially with the food.
The service is great. The 1 time it wasn’t was just after the great COVID reopening and Kelley English took over as our waiter, turning it into a great time.
Such a great vibe. It’s the right amount of “bar” without being overwhelming.
I do recommend getting reservations for any time you go. Otherwise, you can end up being lucky to get a seat at the bar… and for good reason.

A local took us there for lunch this past Saturday. The food was well prepared. Flavors were balanced. Everything was served at the same time, even with our large party of eight. Drinks were terrific and the staff seemed very enthused to do a good job and provide a nice atmosphere for our lunch. Not quite five stars but pretty damn good stuff to be honest.

Gator bites, po-boys and shrimp and grits are very good.
Favorite place. Had "smokey and the bandit" to drink ?, great drink!, gator bites app, gumbo, shrimp po-boy, and oyster plate with potato salad. No disappointments!

Hubby had the criminal mushroom ravioli - luscious. I had a great steak, cooked exactly medium rare as I asked. And the potato salad surprised me - red mashed potato with vinegar and scallion, beat I've ever had. Desert and Irish coffe beyond the moon. Highly recommend. Best meal we've had south of the Mason Dixon line.

Service was great, cocktails were decent. But I was very surprised by the food - we ordered etouffee and the bbq shrimp. The etouffee literally didn’t have a roux (??) and was mostly what tasted like canned diced tomatoes. The bbq shrimp was fine, but the shrimp tasted like they were definitely frozen. Wouldn’t recommend if you’re expecting a New Orleans style meal.

Went in on a Monday night for the first time. The website said they closed at 10pm. It was 8:52. They turned us away. I asked “Why, Don’t you close at 10pm? They said “yes but not tonight, we’re doing a deep clean”. SMH. What a waste of time. Very disappointed in how business have no regard for their customers when it comes to stuff like this.
