“Good food, music, and atmosphere to chill. Great service. I will be going back!“

“I visited Daqs & Oxtails for the first time during their Soft Grand Opening on 5/30/24. I love the vibe of the place. There was plenty of parking with indoor and outdoor seating. There was no hot food ready to purchase during my visit but I did buy the in-house banana pudding, hypnotic lemonade, Cake Daddy’s chicken salad, and the “Voodoo” flavor daiquiri. The servers were pleasant and professional, and the items were priced as I expected. Of all the items I purchased, the banana pudding was my favorite. I will definitely be returning to this spot for some oxtails, greens, yams, and cornbread soon! This spot is worth checking out!“

“1000 times, YES. The chicken is delicious--the best chicken I've ever eaten--the portions are huge and the sides, banana pudding, cesar salad, fries. All delicious. The hand-made sauces range in heat and are all in-freaking-credible. 5-stars!“

“AUTHENTIC SOUTHERN SOUL AND WORLD-CLASS SERVICE.

​This place is the real deal. We arrived on a crazy busy night (school spirit night), but the owners' wife and staff managed the floor like absolute pros—attentive, friendly, and always checking on us. Maybe the best service environment I’ve ever experienced.
​The food is just as good:
​Appetizers (Crawfish Dip/Meat Pie): Absolutely inhaled them. The crawfish dip is rich and soupy (in the best way) with buttered toast for dipping. Set the tone immediately.
​The Gumbo: Deeply flavorful, smoky broth with perfectly non-slimy okra.
​Chicken Fried Chicken: Flaky, tender, sweet and peppery crust. Whipped potatoes and creamy comfort gravy. Pure, honest soul food.
​The Cornbread: Dense and sweet—a must-order.
​To top it off, the owner brought us free samples of their cornbread waffles (crispy outside, gooey inside!). This isn't just a meal; it's a generous, authentic experience run by people who genuinely care. Skip the chains and come here. Perfection.“

“Absolutely delicious chicken, great service and atmosphere. I have never been disappointed and I have been coming here for years. Their chicken fried steak is top notch, as is their jumbo tenders and their Mac and cheese. Their Brussels sprouts are delicious and their green beans are perfectly done every time.“
