Walked into a dark dive bar which was supposed to be a Cajun New Orleans inspired restaurant. Clearly they were still under construction some paint needed to be done.I did have my mini poodle who was resting quietly as he typically does. We were approached by a gentleman and a t-shirt jean shorts white socks and Nike slides who asked us for our phones. Me and my sister were very confused he then asked me to take my dog outside. The gentleman had yet to even greet us, thank me for my service as a service member, and it is memorial Day weekend, give us a menu or anything. The taste and music was very inappropriate for brunch hours I felt like I was riding in some dope boys car down the boulevard and my server look like he just woke up from playing NBA 2K all night threw on whatever he had on the floor and came to work. It would have been nice to know his name, what the restaurant offer to eat, or even a fleur-de-lis painted on the wall considering it was supposed to be New Orleans inspired. I didn't even see the gentleman in the kitchen with a chef's coat on or any type of covering for his head. I don't know where everyone else has been but it could not have been to the same restaurant that I went to today. As a minority-owned business we have to do a much better job of representing properly. I chose to leave and go to first watch where my experience was remarkable. If you want to go smoke hookah at night dance on tabletops this is the place for you but if you're looking for real New Orleans food customer service and class this is not it.

Went there for the first time last week and Chop is the man! The catfish with the yams and okra was hot and fresh! The guava drink was delicious and we got topped of as soon as the drinks were low. The hospitality was very well received and genuine. Can't wait to check out brunch and to enjoy more great food!! Also looking forward trying out the desserts whenever they come back online!!!

We went here on the day of reopening and the food was amazing! I got the honey maple fried chicken with greens and Mac n'cheese with peach sweet tea. This was one of the best meals I've ever had. I will be going back regularly to try the rest of the menu. Chop was welcoming and a great host.

So it’s pretty small and newly renovating so it’s not enough seats. But they played good music. I think this is more of a lounge vibe. It’s a little much for my vibe they was smoking and rolling inside the restaurant. Sanitation wise it wasn’t up to standards I didn’t see people washing their hands or wearing gloves when coming back into the kitchen. No hair net was worn a guy kept touching his hair and flipping his hair because his Locs kept getting in his face. And when I told the server and the server spoke to him he had I don’t care attitude and didn’t put on gloves or wash his hands.i really wanted to just leave but I also was conflicted because they cooked most of it and I wanted to support a black business.I bought the fried catfish which was good. The fried okra seemed to be prebreaded so I wasn’t big on that. The cabbage was flavored well. The fried deviled eggs was really good. The fried shrimp was salty wasn’t that good. The fried cheesecake was just fried cream cheese because that’s what it taste like. The guys outside assured me and give them another chance and to come to brunch Sunday and they would work on their sanitation. I tried to come back with a friend for brunch to give them another chance and it was worst the second day it was so packed you could barely walk in it smelled like weed and was very loud.No where to sit because they only have two tables and a bar. And the food didn’t look appealing on the bar. We walked right back out.

So upon arrival it took almost 10mins for someone to acknowledge I was standing to be helped. Then I order my food which was the oxtail and the guy said it come with rice and two sides cool fine. I paid $30 for my meal I mean it is oxtail so I wasn’t complaining. I get home to dig in excited to try someone else’s oxtail because I am Jamaican. Three oxtails and I couldn’t find the rice. I lifted one of the oxtail and it was barely any rice. This was so upsetting for $30 I get three oxtails barely any rice and everything tasted very salty like the salt top came off and fell into the pot. The greens salty cabbage salty and oxtail salty. I couldn’t even eat it had to throw it away. I was looking forward to trying this place cause I e never been plus I haven’t eaten all day and it was 8pm when I went just to still not eat. I wish I had something good to say just from my first experience.

I drove from Williamsburg specifically for their shrimp and grits. I was impressed by literally everything from the best shrimp and grits in the 757 to the staff that was absolutely incredible and welcoming. I will be making that drive specifically for this restaurant as much as possible.

The food, drinks, and service were all superb! I definitely recommend! Just go!
Amazing well-seasoned food, and great service. The drinks may seem pricey, but they’re made very well (generous w/ alcohol). The location is small, and each dish is prepared to order so I recommend going during an off peak time for the fastest service. But the food is definitely worth the wait.

The food is definitely worth the wait! Saturday morning, as soon as they open, is prime time to get quick service while everything is fresh. Shot out to my server as well.

Door dash does not work at this time, I waited 40 minutes for a pick up plus another 20 minutes for my food, however everything was delicious. And over all I was satisfied. A very lovely hole in the wall and will definitely be back in the future.

Food was good but was very disappointed upon my delivery the restaurant forgot to put my gumbo in the bag and I basically had to reorder/ repay for gumbo to be delivered again because when you call you get no answer tried calling several times to let them know there was an item missing in my bag but no answer. I know things can be busy .
