The fried shrimp and catfish were really fresh. The cafeteria line was a little confusing to figure out.

Felicia was so attentive, always there with more bread just when we needed it. The bread itself was warm and fresh, you could tell it was baked that day. Made the whole meal feel a bit more wholesome.

Been here a few times now. Always get the Old Fashioned. Never had a bad one. Food&#39;s just as reliable. That&#39;s really all I need.

The three meat and cheese panini was a solid choice. Good value for the price, and it&#39;s a bit different from the usual options. Came with a side salad, made for a quick, filling lunch.

The Panang curry with fried catfish was the star. Loved the depth of flavor, and being able to choose the spice level was a nice touch. The catfish stayed crispy in the curry, which isn&#39;t easy to pull off.

The bar seating was really comfortable. The bartender suggested a cocktail that was just right for me. I had the meatball appetizer and the focaccia bread pudding - both were good. It was a nice, relaxed spot for a quiet dinner.

The top shelf fajitas here are next level. Really different from your standard Mexican spot. The meat was super tender and had this great smoky flavor. The margarita I had with it was solid, too.

Solid spot for a post-work drink. Happy hour deals on drinks and apps are good. Sat outside, which was nice on a pleasant evening. Convenient location near the campus.

Great spot to catch the game. The craft beer selection really complemented the wings and nachos.

The cocktails are pretty good, well-balanced and flavorful. They also have a decent bourbon selection, which was a nice surprise. The place gets a bit loud later in the evening, though.

Been coming here for years. The sushi&#39;s always solid, and they sometimes have off-menu stuff like the Candy Cane Roll. It&#39;s got local crawfish in it, which is a nice touch. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

Pete&#39;s is my go-to for a casual night out. The vibe is always fun, and the food hits the spot. I usually get the burger&mdash;it&#39;s solid. Good for grabbing a beer with friends.

The shrimp po&#39;boy is my go-to for a quick lunch. The shrimp are crispy, bread is fresh. Sauces are spot on. Gets me in and out fast. Solid meal.

The duck fat fries are a must-try, so crispy and flavorful. The octopus was also cooked perfectly, tender and not chewy at all. I did notice some of the plates are a bit small for the price, but the quality is always spot-on.

Michelle was a really attentive server. The veal ravioli was delicious, and the ribeye was so tender. It was a nice, comfortable spot for a quiet dinner. The booths were roomy, which I always appreciate.

The roast beef po&#39;boy was solid, but the shrimp and crab gumbo is the real star here. That gumbo had so much flavor, just a classic taste. Definitely coming back for more of that.

Our server was so sweet and really helped us navigate the menu. She had great suggestions for sharing plates, which was perfect for our group. Made picking what to order way less stressful!

The muffaletta pizza is solid. Got the personal size for lunch, and it was packed with toppings. Ended up being enough for two meals. Good for a quick bite downtown.

The hush puppies were a standout. Light, fluffy, and not greasy at all. The tartar sauce had a nice tang, really fresh. It&#39;s the kind of attention to simple sides that makes a difference.

Service was so thoughtful. Our waitress noticed I was picking around the croutons in my chicken and cheese salad, and offered to bring a fresh one without them. The greens were crisp and the chicken tasted really fresh. It&rsquo;s nice when they pay attention to details like that.

The homemade chips and queso are solid. The queso had a nice kick that went well with a cold beer.

The crawfish were a great size and perfectly seasoned. Kaelyn, our server, was fantastic and made the experience even better.

Got the burger combo with fries and side salad. For the price, the portion size is huge. I couldn&#39;t finish it all. Definitely felt like I got my money&#39;s worth.

The Sunday pork BBQ is legit. Got the brunch bowl with smoked sausage too, solid choice. That spicy sauce though, that&#39;s the star of the show. Had to ask for an extra side of it.

The downtown location is convenient, and it&#39;s a nice break from chain spots.

Nice, clean spot with a relaxed vibe. The pasta was pretty good, though the portion was a bit smaller than I expected. Still, a pleasant place for a quiet dinner.
