Drink prices are astronomical, especially the wine. I know most restaurants price wine so that after 2 glasses sold they are at least breaking even on the bottle, if not making money, but these guys sell one glass for at least the price of the bottle! Mixed drinks were a little steep too. We had burgers and the catfish; all of the food was good. I had a turkey burger with a tapenade which was good. We had awesomely strange nachos, they had chicken, ham, gravy, cheese, roasted peppers, basically gluttonous-goodness. The place is nice, I'd definitely go back, but yes parking is tough. We parked in a vacant lot down the street, where others were obviously doing the same. Come warmer weather the outside patio with walk-up window to the bar is set to be very popular.

The atmosphere is very cool inside. It was such a beautiful day on Saturday that we walked the puppy over and had a couple of beers on the patio. We ordered "All Aboard" cheese fries, which were OK, and pan fried oysters which were excellent!! I wish they had a veggie burger though. I really liked this place.

My husband had "the best burger ever" blacked blue cheese with a red wine jelly type spread. I had the shrimp po'boy and my dad the salmon BLT. However, the sandwiches were served in red plastic baskets, which seemed to casual for the space. We ate there for lunch on Monday and all enjoyed our food.
