It's a popular dish. It's from the old "Pebbles" that they used to own.

We went there Saturday night at 730 --had to wait 15 minutes.

Everything was great --wife had chicken sandwich I had Chicken with pasta --which was excellent.

Service was outstanding---Ordered a Merlot, waiter came back a few minutes later and told me they had run out of Merlot !!! not good ---

Manager came over and asked me what else I would like --I ordered a Black and Tan ---had 2 ---both were deleted from the bill....

We will be back

Give it a try

Hit Honest John's tonight--first class- bar person was attentive to our needs, steak tartare was very good, the puteene was very good- this place is a step up-- its super, but not fabulous--when a a restaurant has a limited menu, it means they're paying attention to details

Noticed a bar person with rather large tattoos on her arms, this is my personal opinion--some people may think tattoos are fine, I would rather not have a server with them

We went there last night and enjoyed it very much. Very crowded as all new places are. Mike was working very hard to make sure his customers were happy and his new venture would succeed. Peter had the Tri tip sandwich and said it was the best he ever had. We had a good time. We got there before five and there was not a seat at the huge 43 seat bar that forms the centerpiece for the restaurant.

This place sounds amazing. We are looking forward to going.

Maybe we can talk the DBussones into going with us.

Another "Thumbs Up" for Honest John's. Went tonight, shared the chicken and biscuits with the wife. She added brussel sprouts and I had a salad. Just had soda to drink. Everything was fresh, hot (except the salad which was nicely chilled), and well prepared. Excellent server (Holly). Total check was $25 before tip.

Stopped in this afternoon. Quiet Sunday. Our first try. Overly enthusiastic waiter who hasn't learned to pace himself. Hardly had time to look through the drink menu as he hovered. I felt very rushed. Ordered an appetizer to enjoy with our drinks... It arrived long after the entres and salad...
The gumbo stew was loaded with grouper but was highly salted. Even my salt loving husband thought so too. Large salad delicious. Appetizer arrived as we were finishing the meal. It was delicious but way out of order.
Three drinks, appetizer, large salad, two stews. $62.00 plus tip... The booze was the killer.
We will be back as I think they can be very successful, but.........

We were there with a group last night. We had good service. Loved the poutine appetizer and apple bread pudding dessert. Friends had burgers. I had the avocado chicken based on TOTV recommendations and it was great. They were packed.
