Loved this place! I came here with the BF for a nice anniversary dinner and had a lovely time. We opted for the tasting menu and were not disappointed. Awesome restaurant with cool décor, great music in the background, and not too loud so we could talk without having to shout even with a full house on a Friday night. I thought the tasting menu was well done and I appreciated the progression as we went through the meal. Portions were perfect and I felt satiated but not stuffed by the last course. Some of the highlights were the grouper and sorrel dish (the sorrel was sooo good), the pig skin noodles (never had anything like this, and it was amazing) and the hand's down best course: smoked pork shoulder with peach and eggplant. I can't say enough about the broth, the bread, just....I would come back to just order the broth from that dish and some of that amazing bread to sop it up. Just a perfect dish. The chocolate ice cream sandwich with honeycomb and pecans was my favorite dessert and great end to the meal. The only misstep for us was the duck two ways. Loved the stuffed duck in the shisito pepper, but the breast was...dry and kind of bland. But considering how many courses we had and that being our only real criticism...this restaurant is definitely as good as it gets. We had their house 'soda' with our meal. I liked them, but my BF did not. Service was friendly and attentive, and the timing of the courses was perfect. This is definitely a place you need to make reservations if you are looking for seating on Friday or Saturday. We redeemed a gift certificate for the meal which was very easy. I will be back to see what changes are made to their seasonal menu later in the year.

PROS: Excellent buffet with not one weak item for a reasonable price. My co-worker got the Wiener Schnitzel which was excellent. Wish they had it in the buffet. Oh well! And for people at DSCC/DFAS for training- it's not too far from the base or the airport hotels. I also got the cream puff which was a meal in itself. I will be back here with bells on next trip out here in a month! CONS: Hard to get to despite being near downtown. Parking is tough for Columbus as well.

I love Luby's and I love Luby's chicken fried steak. I lost my job so I'm chilling at home and I'm having beverages (don't judge me). I'm being a responsible adult and deciding not to drive. So I ordered delivery. My typical in-person sides are corn and potatoes with a side salad (additional). However, I couldn't add an additional side salad online. So I placed the request in my "addition information" box. I wanted my two sides to be a twice backed potato and salad with ranch (trying to remember to eat veggies haha) but if they could charge the corn after the order was submitted, then please do so. If not, then those two sides are fine. It got here in 35 minutes AND I was left with this note. My order arrived as wanted. Y'all are now my favorite. Thank you, Justine!

This place hires and fires more people than I've ever seen, therefore the food and atmosphere is never consistent. Bands are way to loud for such a small bar and its freezing in the winter. Seen many fights break out one where the band players never got paid. Not a good place to bring small children. Used to be a nice place but not anymore, we visit many bar grills in Atlanta but would never recommend this one again.

Ehhhh it's OK. The atmosphere wasn't really conducive to interacting with people besides your occasional awkward bump and grind dance move. Drinks were normal bar price and relatively easy to access (definite plus!). Dance floor upstairs was fun except I was concerned that I would wipe out on the wet nasty floor. We got in really early...so we had no problem with going right inside...but when trying to get people to meet up afterwards...the line was SUPER long. And there was a stupid 5$ cover (Saturday).
