DRUMSTIK BAR-B-Q REVIEWS

This is one of the best fried chicken I've ever had. We had to wait a bit after we ordered but it was definitely worth the wait for some of the freshest, and juiciest chicken ever. The portions were also huge, one wings meal could have easily served two people. Only drawback is they only have two tables so if you want to dine in, pray they're open. Would come here again if I could.

Every thing was fresh and yummy I ORDERED 4pc wing Dinner wit Mac n cheese, Candied yams and added collard greens, & mac salad...I'm happy bout my order, very good and definitely recommended when u want some good ole comfort food....ordered from UberEats delivery was fast and food came fresh and Good..

Have been buying here for over 15 years best food ever.

BRICK & BARREL REVIEWS

The food and service were absolutely amazing! Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Our server, Barbie, was incredible—super chill, friendly, and attentive. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and even arranged for the kitchen to make a homemade honey mustard sauce just for my mother-in-law! That kind of personal touch really made the experience special. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend Brick and Barrel for anyone looking for great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere!

Came tonight with my sister and a friend to get a hot toddy to start the night since it is 5° outside. Was told by one of the bartenders The keddle was not working and that they would see what what they can do. Hannah came out and said that she will make the water hot for the drink in a pot. I just want to thank you for taking the extra mile for making the drink. We appreciate you. Definitely coming back!

All of the food and drinks were more than delicious. Buttermilk fried chicken with fries, jerk chicken with sweet potato fries and hibiscus mule were ALL banging. Highly recommended

WALRUS ALLEY REVIEWS

The food is absolutely delicious and the staff are very friendly. We had the jambalaya, schnitzel, and mac n cheese. All of which we recommend! Jambalaya reminded me of my many days eating my aunt’s jambalaya down in Louisiana.

Delicious! I am gluten sensitive and their Gluten free items are clearly labeled on their menu which is always appreciated. They accommodated me with a bun-less Walrus Burger Smash Burger that was super yummy!

Mocktails are delicious, waiter was incredibly accommodating as well as the chef when we asked for our fries to be cooked in tallow for that great delicious flavor!
