Heavy Woods is a chill spot in the Shwick. It has a projector displaying football on Sundays for all the sportz fans, a full bar, high-top table/bar seating in the front, and additional seating in the back of the bar. Great for brunch, which is what my group and I went for. As soon as we sat we were immediately offered a free Coors pitcher since they were sponsoring the game, um...yes, please! After accepting a refreshing pitcher of Colorado cool-aide we ordered. I got a blood maria (tequila) and the boys got beermosas (oj and miller high life (clever)) we were in lust!
Let's dive in! For starters, we ordered: deviled eggs (2 orders), crispy pork belly cracklin', cheesy crawfish bread, and crawfish mac n' cheese. Well, everything was so yummy, the crawfish bread was so different, not too fishy, it was on the soupy side, which I enjoyed, lots of flavors, not too overpowering you still get that authentic taste; it all went. The cracklin' well that was crack, it's didn't even stand a chance on the table we devoured it (even dipped it in the crawfish sauce - HW make that a dish please). The deviled eggs were standard not out of this world, but still good. The crawfish mac was a slight disappointment, it wasn't too cheesy at all, which is the whole allure of the dish and the herbed breadcrumbs, were just there; it felt a little incomplete. BTW these are all small portions split between 3 people, some of the dishes are pictured.
BRUNCH: I got the dirty hash (potatoes, pork creole sauce, fried eggs, and a biscuit), one person got the crispy catfish po' boy, and another got lucky Lubbock (eggs, chicken fried pork steak, biscuit, sage sausage gravy). My dish was good it had a little bit of everything, but def, not overwhelming, it was actually smaller than I thought, which was fine, since we'd been trying most of the snack menu. The creole sauce was okay not as spicy as I imagined, but overall it was a safe dish. I head the po' boy was delish, but the lucky Lubbock was not enough for my boy, it was the smallest of the three and not the most filling; decent but great. Unfortunately, the biscuits were not hot (temperature) or as flakey as I would have liked. *Overall the portions are smaller than they looked in the pictures, just beware when ordering.
We had a great time, we ordered a few rounds of drinks, tried a good bit of their menu, and didn't feel rushed (drinks were on the slow side to come out). The check was decent for three people; I recommend this spot for sure, I'd like to go back and try dinner one day!
