Good southern food but the collard greens were a bit on the salty side. The atmosphere and restaurant is excellent and well kept. I had the birria quesarita burger (not a real burger but more of a large birria taco inside hamburger bun) and I would say that I did like the fried cheese inside that burger but there was just too much of it in my opinion, my son had a cheeseburger that was very good, My wife had the seafood gumbo and was also good. We had some tater tots as well that were quite good as well. Everything was served to us hot and quick. The wait staff was very friendly and I’m guessing who was the manager was also very friendly. I love the atmosphere and decor at this restaurant. You should check it out if you’re in the area If you like some unique and good tasting southern food mainly Southern Louisiana style. We’ll be back to try the jambalaya and the spicy chicken sandwich as well as other dishes to include the desserts.

This restaurant is one of best in Tucson. You won’t see white table clothes here but, the chef is a culinary star. We had the Drunken Angel hair pasta and the Dr. pepper marinated Tri Tip. Both were amazing. The price for two with drinks and an appetizer was in the $$$.$$ range but I assure you you will not be disappointed.

Perfect for date night/ anniversary/ special celebration night. The pasta dish is delish and rich. If you are dairy prone, then I would suggest. (I get this dish often and depends on the chef making it and the day you go)

Great vibe, killer DJ, some of the best decor I’ve seen in a restaurant, and a unique menu that was both playful and delicious! Highly recommend the cherry kool-aid pickles! Also, if they have it, don’t miss the alligator burger – it’s the best I’ve ever had!

Amazing! Everything…the food, the drinks, the service, the decor! Had the delicious hush puppies, queso, pickled vegetables, drunken angel pasta, and the Corpse Reviver absinthe cocktail. Virgina, our hostess was super attentive. Can’t wait to go back!
