Our server, Nevaeh was outstanding: attentive, kind, friendly, and super helpful. The host was excellent and walked me to and from my car. I cannot remember his name. I ordered from the secret menu, it was just like the picture I saw on Instagram, delicious, fresh and a generous serving. I met the chef/owner and he was very pleasant professional and greeted me with a smile and a handshake. It was my first time visiting, and I will be back. Everything was done with excellent excellence.

The food and service were excellent! The pork chop is an absolute must. Drinks were very creative and paired very well with the food. The decor, lighting, and mood inside were very mid century inspired, making for a fun dining experience. We will definitely be coming back!

We ordered drinks, which came promptly and were good. Both of us had jambalaya. It was quite tasty. The show started somewhat late, so we had time for another round of drinks. Once the show started, and during and after the show, service was less available. It took us a bit of time to get our check, but we were able to chat with the performers, so it was fun. The parking discount at the Mason-Ellis garage worked out well. We highly recommend Biscuits and Blues for dinner and a show! We'll definitely be back.
