Fernando Covas: Great tacos, not too big like at Torchy's. The slow roasted brisket taco is so tender... The shrimp and grits taco is a good one, too.
Lisa K: The shrimp and grits taco is bomb! If you see the holy clucker taco special, get it! The margaritas are pretty good too.
Liz Burling: Great tacos and nice beer selection!

Jenn Bacall: The Bahn Mi sandwich is perfect. The scones are dry and crumbly as they should be. Open late too- great atmosphere.
Regina Panelo: Definitely try the salted caramel macarons, and if you like fries, their fries and homemade ketchup is a must.
Maureen B: Lemon blueberry scone is everything! Adorable decor and delicious coffee & baked goods.

Zach R: The Mint Julep is amazing. Great Old Fashioneds, too.
Catherine A: The food is very good, but it's pricey for the amount that you get.

Travis Jake-Morgan Terrell: Everything. Chilled, god drinks, and great service!!!
Manhunt: This is where you wear your leather. Besides the S&M vibe, it's actually a low-key place to play a game of pool with your pals. And to demonstrate how to successfully paddle someone.
Jason Sechrest: Come see me on Sunday $1 vodka nights and Monday underwater nights with free Pool. 8pm to 2am
