I wished I loved the food at Okra, because this place is cool, drinks are good and the service is amazing. However, I came here twice and unfortunately I wasn't a huge fan of their food. We started out with the fried chicken skins. I can't recall in my lifetime where I have had fried chicken skins and didn't like it...Until I had the fried chicken skins at Okra. It's not bad by any means. It just tasted really bland. I guess I was expecting extremely crispy, salty chicken skins and I ended up being disappointed. The grilled oysters were pretty good. I usually like my oysters raw but those were delicious. The mussels were good too, but the cornbread it came with was ordinary. I had their shrimp and grits and thought it was okay. My boyfriend had the chicken and dumplings and thought it wasn't anything special.
**Don't let my review fool you though. Try this place out. My whole family LOVED this place so you might as well too! I still want to give this place a third try.
