| - Usually when a local joint like this is getting a lot of buzz, it rarely lives up to it. This place is no joke though. A must try for any Las Vegas local. I had a fantastic meal with great service and atmosphere.
For two people w/ 2 entrees, 2 cocktails, and 2 desserts it came out to under $80. We came in for Brunch, but honestly, we didn't even order anything from the Brunch specialties. Here's the rundown of what we ordered:
Entrees:
(1) Biloxi Buttermilk Fried Chicken: everyone raved about this on Yelp so I had to try it. Probably the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. Honey mustard took the already perfectly cooked chicken to another level. My friend also fell in love with the Brioche bun.
(2) New England Fry: Unlike any fried calamari or seafood I've had before. Great texture and flavor in this one. Definitely worth a try.
Drinks:
Their drink menu has one of the best selections of beers and cocktails I've seen at such a reasonable price.
(1) I originally ordered an "Autumn Crisp" (bourbon and pumpkin butter) which sounded amazing, so I was a bit disappointed when they said they were out of pumpkin butter. I switched my order to the "Cherry Wood" which has Woodford Reserve bourbon, cherry jelly, and lime. It comes in a little mason jar that you shake up at the table. Had a great refreshing feel and paired perfectly with the food.
Desserts:
This is what took the meal over the top for me. So many great selections.
(1) "Brookie": This is a cookie baked into a brownie with salted caramel ice cream. Is there any more I need to say about this?
(2) Bourbon Bread Pudding: Again, had to follow the Yelpers and order the bread pudding. Usually when I order more than one dessert there's the issue of one overpowering the other. One is so much more flavorful and enjoyable that you just don't even want to take another bite of your "red-headed stepchild" dessert. This was not the case here. I took a bite of the bread pudding after the phenomenal "brookie" and was still blown away and surprised by the flavors. There was even a hint of pumpkin in it. Not sure if this was added just for the season or if this is standard. I even brought some home and warmed it up in the microwave and added my own ice cream and gave it to my parents (who usually don't like bread pudding) and they were in love.
Don't wait around on this local gem. Take your family, a loved one, or just a good friend to this place and TREAT YO SELF!
