After circling around for a while because the sign for okra was out front but the entrance and the restaurant is in the back of the place I finally got here with my girlfriend and sat at the unassuming bar that looked like it was built out of one piece of wood for aesthetic purposes (it's not really wood I don't think). We were greeted by a friendly bartender who gave us two menus, one for okra's awesome drinks and the other for their even better food. I was not sure what I wanted to drink so the bartender asked what type of alcohol I liked and then recommended the dog howl day drink (or something of that nature). It contains bourbon and citrus and mezcal and was amazing.
Now one thing about this place is it is not for people that are calorie counting or on a diet, it's for those of us who love good food. After drinks we proceeded to order food, and let me tell you their food is absolutely delicious, especially their fried chicken skins. I mean they take the best part of the chicken, batter it up, then deep fry it... Mmmmm makes my mouth water just thinking about this heart attack inducing appetizer, seriously a must have. I also had their brocollin with pistachio pesto and egg (one of the healthier things on the menu) and it was delicious, the egg is over easy so once you cut into it it mixes with the crispy brocollini and tastes amazing. Lastly we had the bone marrow with ox tail and biscuit, and as any good foodie place has a bone marrow okra's was divine. The ox tail sauce mixture was a perfect fitting with the bone marrow and biscuit.
Overall this place is delicious and their take on southern style cuisine is a perfect mix of new age foodie hipster and old style delicious unhealthy fair. If you are looking for an awesome meal then go here but don't count calories while eating you may have a heart attack.
