The Best Creole & Cajun Restaurants In Atlanta - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"All of Pappadeaux’s four metro Atlanta locations stay packed for a reason (we’re talking hours-long waits). The Louisiana-style seafood restaurant is consistent, and crowd favorites like the crab spinach dip and overflowing fried catfish platters are good enough to justify the eight trips you’ll make around the Marietta parking lot to find an open space. Thankfully, we can hit the bar for a drink, then hang out under the fans on the bayou-meets-Warehouse- District-inspired courtyard until we can be seated." - nina reeder, juli horsford, demarco williams

Our family came to celebrate a birthday, the wait was about 15 min. After we were seated there was a bit of a wait before our server came. I can say the server was so attentive and knowledgeable, and told us about the changes to the menu. The appetizers we chose were the crab cakes and gator bites, and they did not disappoint. The crab cakes were 98% crab and the biggest I’ve ever seen. They weren’t just big and full of meat, but delicious and full of flavor. The gator bites were hot, crispy, tender and full of flavor as well. The entrees ordered were, fried catfish, shrimp, mussels, clams, fries, red beans and rice and pasta primavera. The fish I felt needed a bit more seasoning, however overall everything was hot fresh and delicious. The pasta dish was made to accommodate the vegetarian in our group, and it was amazing. The portions are huge and I felt reasonably priced. Desert was amazing, we ordered key lime pie with whipped cream and sweet potato pecan pie with ice cream. It was truly the cherry on top of a fantastic night. The atmosphere was perfect just so enjoyable. When I visit again I plan on returning to try more from the menu, great job Pappadeaux❤️

I was visiting my cousin for Thanksgiving and one of my close friends recommended that I come to this restaurant while I was there. So we decided to go to lunch the day after Thanksgiving. It was absolutely hustling and bustling. I wish I could have tried everything on the menu, but we decided to split two meals because neither of us had been there. We had the shrimp and grits and the baked sea bass, with a side of garlic bread to sop up the juices. All I can say is, that was one of the greatest meals I've had in a long time. The service was outstanding, but even more so everybody around us were like family. Everyone carried on conversations and wanted to know what something tasted like. It was one of the greatest eating experiences because it felt like you were at home, rather than an individualized, compartmentalized restaurant. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, but Pappadeaux's anything but that. My mouth absolutely flipped over the incredible flavors that were being put into it. The sea bass was perfect in every way, but the shrimp and grits, that was a twist that I didn't expect. It wasn't like your typical, south carolina or traditional shrimp and grits... it was the perfect combination of unexpected flavors. I literally took pictures of the meal and sent them immediately to my friend, who recommended it, and I said, we have to make a day trip down to atlanta, just to eat and then go back home.

The place is fun and festive. The service was good. The salsa was great. The beer was ice cold. I took the recommendations of the server. I had the fajitas, and did not regret it. It came with shrimp, steak, and chicken. The shrimp is bacon wrapped, and it was good. The chicken was excellent, moist and tender. The star of the show was that steak though. It absolutely crushed! I followed it up with the pecan ice cream desert, it was bland and unexciting. I should have gotten the tres leches.

I never been here. Came on a surprise date with my man and absolutely loved everything about this place. It's very busy and loud so not the typical romantic scene. Our waitress was very pleasant and made sure we kept drinks at our table. The food was soooo good. Overall it was a good surprise date here

I drove 5 hours just to eat this meal. It was the best decision I made in 2025. The vibe was festive. The staff was energetic. Drinks were strong. Food was beyond amazing. Made my NYE deliciously memorable!!

Good vibes. Fast service. Fresh and delicious seafood. Did have to remind to bring us cutlery and refill drinks but overall nice place. 4 stars only because it was expensive. Two people date = $150.

Celebrated my birthday here today. They were very accommodating and cautious with my son’s shellfish allergy. If you have a party of 4 or more I recommend making reservations at least a day in advance or be prepared to wait 2 hours or more.

FOOD Delicious. My go-to while in Atlanta and near The Battery for baseball. SERVICE We had a trainee. Wine bottle just placed on our table, no bucket, no ice - he was corrected by his trainer. Trainee was a handsome energetic friendly young man with a lot of potential, our table wishes him success. AMBIANCE Large open space. Huge oval bar. Much needed for the populace clientele. Parking lot was very full.

I always get the same thing... Mississippi Catfish Opelousas - Blackened catfish, oysters, shrimp, jumbo lump crab, lemon garlic butter sauce, dirty rice. Best thing ever. We also had grilled shrimp fettuccine.

Pappadeaux did not disappoint. I ordered the seafood platter, and it was solid--great flavor, generous portions, and definitely something I'd order again. My wife got the salmon with dirty rice, and honestly, the dirty rice stole the show. I'd never had it before, and it was hands down one of the best things I've ever eaten. Another surprise hit? The table crackers. I know it sounds simple, but they were so good I couldn't stop loading up on them. The ambiance felt like stepping into old-style New Orleans--warm, lively, and full of character. On top of that, the staff was incredibly friendly. They didn't just take care of us; they also gave us great recommendations for things to do in Atlanta, which really added to the experience. Overall, this is the kind of place you walk away from already planning your next visit.

We enjoyed a family meet up Christmas Eve who were visiting out of town. It's been years since I had dined at this location. Very pleased with the food and service. I tried the special of sea bass with crab and sautéed spinach. The fried platters that others ordered were definitely enough to share. There are indoor and outdoor dining. Nothing beats great food and fellowship.

Pappadeaux scores again! After indulging in holiday food we opted for seafood and who better to trust with a seafood craving than my beloved Pappadeaux! We had 3:15 pm reservations but there was still about a 15 min wait. It was pretty crowded so not too bad, especially since it's a Sat. Shoutout to our server Vee! She never missed a beat!! The food was absolutely delicious! Fresh and tantalizing as usual! I had my usual, shrimp and crawfish fondeaux for an appetizer & Redfish Pontchartrain for my entree. My husband had the crispy skin redfish with braised collards and butternut squash. My son also had shrimp and crawfish fondue with Crispy Atlantic salmon & jumbo crab for his entree. We all left happy! Pappadeaux is a staple of the Marietta community. If you're ever in the area, don't miss out!

I usually eat at the Jimmy Carter location and I should have done so this recent visit. Alas, I visited this particular Pappadeaux and left feeling pretty disappointed. I live in MD, so I was super excited to eat at Pappadeaux (this is not a chain we have in MD despite being known for seafood). I love Pappadeaux food and eat it when I can (visits to Atlanta, and the Hobby airport in TX). I already knew what I wanted to order when I arrived which was: -A Swamp Thing -Stuffed shrimp with fries subbed out for dirty rice -A side of broccolini The Swamp Thing came out first and immediately I noticed it's level was not the same as my friend's Swamp Thing. It was considerably lower. Then it became even lower than that once I took out the pineapple! I'd taken a few sips, but ultimately decided to send it back and have another one brought to the table WITHOUT pineapple. That drink is almost $20. It needs to be full of the alcohol I am paying for, not watered down and over fruited. While all this was going on, my entree came out, the stuffed shrimp and dirty rice. Everything on the plate was amazing and I ate it all. The "broccolini" came out separately a little after my entree. I went to eat the broccolini and it was thicker than usual (like regular broccoli) and VERY hard. Like, not cooked much at all. So, I sent that back too. The waiter was a nice guy and I tried not to take my dissatisfaction out on him, but he was the one I was sending food and drink back with. Customer service was great, my entree was great...the drink and the side tho? Pass. It's Jimmy Carter from now on.

This was such a good dinner choice. Dined on a Saturday about 1230! Surprisingly there was no wait! We were seated right away! It was a full house but the service was efficient! Our waitress was soft spoken but very nice! She had great recommendations! Our appetizers, entrees and alcoholic beverages were all so good! I hadn't been to pappadeaux in about 6 years and it was just as i remembered it- delicious! The only bad thing is that the bathrooms were nasty. Tissue on the floor, some stalls didn't have tissue at all. Hated that! But other than that, food and service were great! Will def be back when visiting GA

We visited Pappadeaux the Saturday before Mother's Day with a party of five, and despite the restaurant being packed, we were seated right away. They placed us in a private room that had been converted to accommodate larger parties, which honestly made the experience feel even more special. Our server, Lauryn, mentioned she was still fairly new, and while she was unsure about one of the menu items at first, she quickly got confirmation. She was sweet and attentive throughout the meal. I wasn't super hungry, but I did get the crab and crawfish fondue which never misses. It's creamy, flavorful, and served with fresh French bread. The mix of crab, crawfish, shrimp, and mushrooms is always a hit. My table ordered a variety of dishes including the Mardi Gras pasta, the andouille and shrimp gumbo, and the halibut. One person thought they ordered the halibut extravaganza but actually received a simpler version with potatoes. At first they were disappointed, but the dish turned out to be a win because the halibut stood out more without all the extras. Lauryn apologized for the mix-up, but the plate was still a hit. The Mardi Gras pasta was rich and well-seasoned, and the shrimp cocktail--though served on a plate instead of in a glass--was still fresh and tasty. Overall, the food was great, the service was solid, and the vibe was perfect for a weekend meal with family. Definitely recommend.

When overwhelmed with a menu because everything looks and sounds so good, it's always best to ask the server what they think is best. She did not lead us wrong! We wanted fried fish and she said that the pappadeaux platter with sides would be plenty. She was right and we had leftovers. The flavor on the breading was so good! We are usually not the devil crab eaters but this one was meaty and flavorful seasoned better than your regular calabash houses. I think this was also my first time trying crawfish and it was delicious too. & that garlic bread! Wow! No skimping on the butter and herbs-the way it should always be! Looking forward to my next visit to Atlanta so that I can try more here, but I AM a creature of habit so it might be the same order the next time.

first. food was fantastic. I only had the salmon but the other folks that order a few other things raved about theirs. the salmon was cooked perfectly, shrimp seasoned just right and rice was spot on. service was quick and friendly and for a group of 20 of us. I was impressed. the restaurant itself is huge. beautiful dining room and my gauge of how much a restaurant cares - the restrooms were clean and ready to go. a dirty restroom means a dirty kitchen.

Had the pleasure of joining old and new friends at Pappadeaux's Seafood Kitchen this evening and both food and service exceeded expectations! Prompt, friendly, and attentive service complemented a wonderful dining experience. Started off with shrimp gumbo with lots of shrimp and just the right kick. The salad was a Greek Salad with feta cheese and Greek dressing and quite large. For the 3 entrees we had the salmon and shrimp platter with a perfectly executed medium cooked salmon retaining a flavorful moist texture served with cream spinach. The 10 oz filet was served medium with brocolini and mashed potatoes, as good as most steakhouse filets we've tried. Then my favorite fried seafood platter with 2 large catfish filets, crab stuffed shrimp, stuffed crab, and fried shrimp and oysters served on a pile of crispy fries...delightful. Hush puppies would have knocked this one over the top! Dessert included wonderfully presented creme brulee with fresh berries and whipped cream. Key lime pie (not pictured) was quite good with a crispy shell also served with berries and whipped cream. It was quite good even though I am not a big fan of key lime pie. If you haven't been to this Windy Hill location, it is a must try. We typically go to the Alpharetta location, but this was quite the treat! The atmosphere is a nice but relaxed New Orleans feel with pleasurable dining music.

The last time I was at a Papadeaux was in Dallas, TX. This chain chef blows it away. I've been 3 times in Marietta and forgot to write a review. I have had these delicious items: lump crab, lobster bites, roasted oysters with Parmesan cheese with spicy garlic bread, calamari, sautéed spinach and the cream spinach dip and margaritas with Patrón!! I tend to enjoy their appetizers because they are a good shareable size or there's leftovers. Each time we had incredible service. The staff here is constantly friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Twice I sat at the bar and once a booth. At the bar, we could see the entire restaurant. It's a clean place and can be loud in the evening. The restaurants both looked the same. However here in Marietta it was more memorably delicious. Hence, the return 3 times thus far!!

Our party of 15 was not able to make reservations so, I arrived an hour prior to our scheduled time and was informed by the staff that there would be an hour & 30 minute wait time which was great because my party would really only have to wait 30 minutes. Well, of course we waited longer than that but it was worth it. Out server was very profession, responsive, and nice. I wish I could remember her name but the amount of her tips definitely should make up for my memory lapse. The manager was also great! Aside from being very attractive he was very attentive to our party because there was a food allergy. In all honesty I've grown tired of the seafood sampler which I always order but, it was still quit tasty and the customer service was Great!

Pappadeaux Seafood ATL did not disappoint! I had the salmon topped with crab,scallops,shrimp and mashed potatoes it was absolutely delightful, cooked to perfection and the portion was solid. Our server Glen (pretty sure that was his name) was amazing. He was efficient, attentive, and handled four to five large parties, including ours, like a pro. The food and service were both on point. Just be ready to wait even if you have a reservation, it is worth it. It was loud with people but not overwhelming.

I would recommend the Catfish Waitress service - great Wait time - made reservations but had to wait for my full party to come and then I waited about 10-15mins Food - catfish and pasta shrimp Ambiance- nice spot to grab a quick lunch or have dinner with your significant other or coworker anybody in general. Overall I would come back for the Catfish it was very season something's just two season and that's one of them

I first tried this restaurant in Houston many years ago and I looked forward to trying it again in ATL Metro. I made a reservation for myself and a friend and was seated promptly. When my friend arrived, she provided my name for the reservation and was told there was not one. She was sat separately from me in the back of the dining room. After we had each placed drink orders at our respective tables, my friend texted and described where she was seated. I went and found her and she joined me. We ordered apps, salads and entrees. We were told salads would come out first but they never came. When we asked about them after the entrees arrived, the server said she "forgot". She also took forever to bring out final bill. Food was good. Reached out but have yet to hear back from the owner who replied to this review.

When I found out I was going to Georgia, I knew I'd be stopping at a Papadeaux location for sure! This location did not disappoint. My husband and I shared a bowl of Gumbo which was amazing and full of flavor. I ordered their Crawfish Salad and he had Marci Gras Pasta. Both dishes were YUMMY! Our server was extremely helpful and friendly. The place was festive and packed. Loved to see it. Beautiful location.

My family and I visited and it was super busy which is usually a good sign. We chose to sit at the bar since the wait for a table that we could all sit together at was a 2 hour wait. We ordered drinks and appetizers with the amazing bartenders. They were all very helpful and attentive. I got the grouper which was topped with crab meat and shrimp and had a lemon butter sauce on it. It was delicious and fresh! The restaurant was dimly lit which definitely gave romantic vibes. I ate my food for dinner and woke up the next day and ate my leftovers for lunch. I was so sick after! I will spare you the details. If the food didn't make me sick I would have given it 5 stars for sure!

This used to be my go to spot but it's really declining. I tried to order the oysters they were out, along with the crab fingers and bisque. A family member ordered the gumbo which was watery. We went to celebrate a graduation so it was kind of packed the tables were all bunched together, and the lighting was dim. Our server was very nice and on his job as we had 2 tables. When my food came the sides were both cold and even when they brought out the new one it was still cold. I will say the trout was good though.

I think everyone loves this place. It's always packed. The food and service is always great. There is a lot of seating inside, at the bar, and outside.

The place is a beautiful peaceful restaurant. Very well decorated . We had calamari well seasoned and crispy. Garlic bread very good . I had the Fried catfish with spicy shrimp etoufee and dirty rice . So much food for lunch. The peach cocktail with rum was wonderful I had 2 of those and they had peach gummies in it. The waiter was so charming. The portions were very large and cheap for lunch. 4 people for 200 dollars and my sister had pasta and 3 cocktails the other 2 had fried fish lunches . They were good.

Went after work and sat at the bar which is first come first served. Chill environment although it was freezing inside. Ordered the swamp thing and it was just as delicious as I remembered. I also ordered the Mississippi Catfish dish sub oysters for shrimp. I would eat this weekly if I could it was so good. I will try the salmon alexander even though Im not big on salmon it looks too good not to try.

Me and mommy did a early lunch date. We arrived a little after they opened. The greetings where pleasant as always and we where seated immediately. We received top notch service from our waitress(I forgot her name) and this is why you should do reviews right after while it's all fresh...smh. Mom and I shared oysters and alligator bites and we each had a seafood salad. Everything was great as always. I've not ever been disappointed at this location.

Superbly delicious. Our sweet attentive server Misha provided great commentary on the choices. Grilled trout with the best crab jasmine rice and grilled salmon n shrimp with broccolini as my husband would say " made your tongue do a holy dance " Didn't have space left for dessert Beautiful restaurant. Nice music but lots of conversation

I've been coming to this location for years and it's definitely still one of the best. I'm happy to report that they are serving mashed potatoes again (Manchego potato puree), since they stopped servicing Mash in 2020 for whatever crazy reason haha. The blackened cat fish was amazing 10/10. The flavoring was delicious and the potatoes are heavenly every time. The waiters are always friendly but depending on the day, the greeters might meet you with frantic energy that I'm not fond of. It's always busy for the most part so it's nice when I'm met with a calm & collected approach. There's typically a wait so if you're going on the weekend and potentially any other busy times, so be prepared for about a half hour intermission. They do a pretty good job with the seating. Again it's a busy establishment, so if you're looking for a quiet or intimate dinner, this probably isn't the best place to go. I love it here! The chef has yet to disappoint me in my last 4 visits this year.

I received exactly what I came for today! excellent service and this time they had the crab fingers . It is very seldom to come to Papadeaux's and not have to wait a long time for a seat but today after church, my husband and I were able to be seated within 15 minutes. Shortly after being seated, we were greeted by a waiter who promptly took our drink, orders, and appetizers . I am always pleased with the service here and they did not disappoint today. The number one item that is not on the menu are the crab fingers because sometimes they don't have them. But if you're coming this weekend, they are in although still not listed on the menu. The fried shrimp were excellent, and I even splurged a little and ordered two appetizers(garlic bread, and crab/spinach dip) How do you get seafood to taste this fresh inland in Georgia? I don't know how they do it, but they did and it was worth the unexpected expense to dine in for Sunday lunch. The atmosphere is loud, chatty, but all signs of everyone having a good time and enjoying their meal. Unlike other places that usually have music too loud to be able to hear yourself think, their music is subtle, and in the background, allowing you the opportunity to have a great conversation around good food. you will find yourself waiting at the end to receive your to go box and check however, be patient because there are a lot of people in the servers are doing their best. They're very pleasant and well trained.

Waitress Kendra was very rude. If I had not been with another couple, we would have left immediately. Remarks such as: "Where do you see that on the menu?", are rude. The correct response should be: "We no longer have the boudin and dirty rice." I will limit my exposure to rudeness.

Another disappointing experience. Consistency is lacking, and results are hit or miss. When they first launched in Atlanta, their pricing and service made sense. Now, the cost outweighs the value, and the service has dropped to mediocre at best.

As always walking inside you are greeted as if they want you're business. Not as a chore. We had a nice inside table our server was adequate her personality was blend in my opinion. However the FOOD was full of flavor and delicious. We were celebrating my birthday so receiving a free dessert was also a nice perk. Soft music, and low light providing a smooth atmosphere for excellent dinner and conversation.

My mom had a craving for their bread pudding so we came here to make it a reality. Unfortunately they currently aren't selling the bread pudding so we opted for a nice meal instead. We started off with the Shrimp and Crawfish Fondeaux. We had no clue how massive this dish would be. The bread it came with was warm and buttery which we enjoyed. For my entree I got the Mardi Gras pasta with Alexander sauce instead of the red sauce it automatically comes with. My mom got the shrimp and grits. We both enjoyed our entrees thoroughly. We finished our meal off with the Sweet Potato Pie. It came with this wonderful rum sauce and soft vanilla ice cream. I loved the ambiance of this place. This was my first time coming to this location and it felt like I got transported to the bayou. It was a great feeling. Our server for the evening was Christine. This young lady took great care of us. If you find yourself here in the near future, please take a seat in her section. You won't regret it. My mom and I will be munching on our leftovers for several days to come while dreaming of our grand return. Thank you for a wonderful experience, great service, and delectable food.

Thoroughly enjoyed dinner here tonight! At 6:00pm, we were able to make reservations for 6:30pm on Open Table. To our surprise we arrived shortly before the crowd. Our food came out in a matter of 15 mins, fresh and hot! I was also pleased to see how many graduates were celebrating tonight- full house but the service did not lack!

Pappadeaux is always a good choice no matter where you are. I just wished they remained open past 9:00pm. However I always get the Rasta pasta, side of gumbo, a good Caesar salad, and a strong drink (cognac of course). S/O to their Caesar salad. It was refreshing . One of the best salads I ever had. Our customer service was hospital and timely fashion. The ambiance was exactly what I expected per usual; diverse and busy and everybody eating and drinking good . Pappadeaux is a southern staple that never gets old .

Maybe the best dining experience ever! Went on a tues and place was pretty dead a few other customers so place to ourselves.

Everything was seasoned and cooked perfectly!! Expensive but worth it!!

It's been over eight years since I last visited Pappadeaux, but this year I decided it was one of the restaurants I wanted to go to for my birthday. Even better, I got to bring my sister--actually, she treated me for my birthday! If you live in Marietta, you know there isn't a day when this place isn't packed. I mean, never, not even on a Monday (which happened to be a holiday). Despite the busyness, there was plenty of seating, and my sister and I chose a booth. We had a great server named Jevonte--shout out to him for being efficient, informative, and fast. Now, I know you want to hear about the food, so let's get into it. For an appetizer, my sister and I went with the crab and spinach dip. Not going to lie, that dish alone was filling, but we were just getting started. We each ordered a salad: I chose the classic Caesar salad, and my sister opted for the house salad. Honestly, those could have been meals by themselves, but we weren't done yet. For my entrée, I had the fried shrimp platter with red beans and rice, while my sister went for the Jumbo Shrimp Brochette. I loved my food--the shrimp was perfectly cooked with a nice crunch, and the red beans and rice were some of the best I've had, fresh and delicious. Although I'm not a fan of tartar sauce, both the tartar and cocktail sauces were amazing. My sister enjoyed her meal as well, although she mentioned the bacon-wrapped shrimp was a bit salty, but the dirty rice she had as a side was excellent. Overall, I won't let so much time pass before visiting again!

My wife & I as well as our friends have been coming to Pappadeaux's in the Atlanta area for at least the past 20+ years. Each experience has always been very nice. I remember when Pappadeaux's had oyster specials in February for $5 & 7.95 a dozen back in the early 2000's & early 2010's. Those days are long past. Anyway, my wife & I went to the Marietta location and had a nice server by the name of Justin who provided very friendly & timely service. We started out with an Old Fashion with Buffalo Trace & a Creature Comfort draft beer. Both were cold and the Old Fashion per my wife was excellent! We then had a dozen oysters which were served on a tray covered with ice and the oysters nicely displayed with cocktail sauce & 2 varieties of mignonette sauces. For our entrees we each had the Mixed Seafood Grill which is served on a bed or dirty rice. The seafood provided were scallops, shrimp & fish along with grilled peppers, mushrooms & onions. All was good but the scallops were slightly overcooked. The restaurant is always busy which is a good thing and the ambience is comfortable with the seafood type vibe. I would actually rate a little above 4 stars based on our visit yesterday! Always good and always fun!

The Salmon was cooked perfectly. The scallops were top of the line as well. Was a really good meal. Service was good. The music was extremely loud. Too loud.

First time visiting this location. Our reservation was at 8:30pm and we arrived at 8:15. We did not receive our food until 9:26pm. The restaurant wasn't busy at this time, but maybe there were not enough cooks to get the food out in a timely fashion. Our waitress Tishema was EVERYTHING!! She was always present and checked on us. She apologized for the food coming out later than expected and she was just nice overall. Thea the manager came over and also apologized to us for the inconvenience and she made sure our bill was taken care of and gave us gift cards. She did not have to do that for us, but she did and she was very sweet while we were explaining our issues. In the time where customer service lacks, their customer was excellent!! Because Tishema took great care of us, we made sure she was well taken of! The restaurant was nice and clean. The food was ok, definitely could have been seasoned a little more, but overall an ok experience turned into a great experience due to the customer service.

I will NEVER step foot in this Pappadeaux again. I came here excited for seafood, but within hours of eating, I got extremely sick. I spent the next 1.5 days in the emergency room dealing with food poisoning from what I believe was bad seafood. This was one of the worst dining experiences of my life -- completely unacceptable for a restaurant that claims to specialize in fresh seafood. Clearly, something is seriously wrong with their food handling or quality control. I wouldn't wish this experience on anyone. Save yourself the risk and go somewhere that actually values customer safety and cleanliness. Not everything was bad. I did speak with a manager (3rd one) that helped me today. Our conversation was cut off but he was helpful. I'm not sure what will come out of this but please review your seafood handling. This could have been really bad. If you have any questions please contact me directly

I have been coming to this restaurant for over 20 years and this was by far the best experience I've had in a long time!! The food today was amazing but I have to give the credit of my amazing visit today to Jarrod at the bar!!! He was so helpful and such a vibe. I think I kept a smile on my face the entire time!! KEEP HIM!!
