Overall the food was pretty good. We came shortly before closing and during the holidays. Service was good as well. The poutine fries a tad spicy but good (we had toppings on the side. The pork belly was really good, nice texture and flavor. The onions really compliment it. Shrimp n grits...the shrimp was not 'fishy' n grits were the right consistency, dish was quite flavorful. . . SO liked it... overall recommended

Great salads and southern fare. Love menu items, wish they had white rice on menu within the entree selections, instead of brown rice. Desserts ate good too.

A cool hang out place. Good service and a nice cocktail menu and several wines by the glass to go along with the beer list. My shrimp and grits was a little cold and our other items were just okay.

Went for the first time this evening. We had reservations but arrived early. We were promptly seated as tables were available. We had excellent service. I have food allergies and all precautions were taken not to cross contaminate my food. We ordered drinks which were excellent. Appetizers which arrived timely and hot, and dinner which also arrived timely and hot. We ordered a bottle of wine which was fairly priced and properly poured. All 4 diners were pleased with their selections. We had the pork chop special, chicken salad, chicken Milanese, and wedge salad and mac and cheese. I saw recent reviews and was a little concerned but our experience was excellent.

Great little place. The service was PHENOMENAL. She was sweet, attentive, and personable. He decor is cute and the prices are reasonable. The burgers were delicious and I can’t wait to go back and try the fried chicken.

Ok here is the info on this place: 1. Cute rustic environment 2. Our server ( sweet young lady with tattoos and get convo can't remember her name) was great. However the tall gent with glasses seemed irritated the day of our visit maybe it was just an off day for him. 3. Long wait for server and food 4. Food- good The burger with the egg was Amazing! The sauce on the bun have mercy I wish I could bottle it up and take home! Shrimp and grits- amazing The fried chicken slaw burger was good yet a bit spicy

Amazing food and Amazing Drinks! They have chicken and waffles all day! Their chicken is CRUNCHY and the waffle is a real fluffy and delicious waffle. I have tried all the chicken and waffles in the proximity of the area and nothing compares to Down House.
