| - I'm super excited my roomie and I decided to stop in last night for some dinner bites! Born and Raised is located in the corner shopping center of St. Rose Pkwy and Eastern Ave. The neighboring businesses are Wells Fargo, McD's, and a Tide Dry Cleaners. It has a pretty good size parking lot, but I can see how during the day- this place can get business since it's directly adjacent to a big business building.
For our visit yesterday, we were able to find parking in the front and we sat ourselves at a high top table in the bar area. I was curious as to what I was walking into, because the windows were blacked out; it seriously felt like I was walking into a strip club, no lie...lol. My immediate reaction when I walked in was, "oh wow, this place is super cool." The full bar is to the right when you walk in, with a bar top of casino games. There's booths that line the wall. To the left wall houses many, many TVs so I'm guessing this place is cracking during a sporting event! The main dining area is cool in the fact that they have booth like tables and in the center they have a huge seating section for lounging and just straight kickin' it with friends. It's a different setting, I kinda like!
For foods, we tried the fried chicken wings, duh. Total 5 Stars. The crunch is apparent with every bite. Our favorite flavor (so far) is garlic Parmesan. I tried the ghost pepper chili sauce on the side of my naked wings. If you're a spice lover, this sauce is pretty "uncomfortably" spicy! Try it.
We also tried the Best Coast Tots. These taste like a crumbled cheeseburger over tots! So yummy!
All in all this place is awesome, but if you can't take cigarette smoke- this place isn't for you. The smell raked as soon as I walked in and I left coughing cuz I don't do cigarette smoke.
P.S. Jimmy is the best server, ask to sit in his section!
