Good food, excellent service. Right in a cute little French quarter. Loved the soup!

The service and the outdoor tables were very good. The food is more like 3.5. The chicken panini was overcooked and on the dry side.

We sat outside with our 13yo, 5yo, & 4yo and got beignets and a smoothie. I was surprised about exceptional the smoothie that my 13yo ordered. Although they were very sweet with our kids, it’s not exactly geared towards kids. Service was good despite them being really busy.

All we’ve heard since moving to the area is that we HAVE to try this place. Honestly the food was super “meh” and service was lacking.
Great place. Love their beignets. Wait staff is always pleasant and helpful. If Pete is there he always stops and chat. Has both indoor and outdoor dining. Outdoor dining is in a quaint garden reminiscent of the French quarters. A must go to on your visit to Fairhope.

Great little French New Orleans style spot back in the cut of a cute little downtown spot. We decided to go because of Diners, Drive-ins and dives. The food was good. I do think it could've been a little more seasoned and wish the sandwich came with a bit more sauce but overall, it was a good experience.
Great burger, hot and fresh. Very tasty! Good service, kept our drinks filled but no obtrusive. Fantastic lunch in a great little spot for enjoying some fine spring weather

I’ve heard so much about this place and the fact that it was featured on a Food Network show made the choice easy for trying out Saturday brunch. The waitress was nice but she was clearly spread thin. I ordered the Monte Cristo breakfast sandwich and my wife got the bacon, egg, and cheese. She said hers was delicious however mine was just ok. It was a weird combo and would have worked better, I believe, had the meat been served warm instead of cold. We also ordered an order of beignets and we both took one bite and put them down. They smelled and tasted like they’d been fried with shrimp! It was so weird. We mentioned this to the waitress and she graciously took them off of our bill and mentioned that another waitress said that someone else had made the same comment.

So good! There's always a line, but the wait isn't bad! And it's worth the wait! We split a muffuletta panini, plenty for two, and so good!
Straight to the point - we didn't think this place was worth the hype. We stopped by around 11:30 and there were a good number of tables available. Returned around 12:45 and waited 20 minutes for a table but by 1:15 several tables had opened. So, go early or late. Just remember they close at 2pm. The paninis we ordered were good but nothing to write home about. I selected the turkey with two sides of the day - white bean salad and lentil soup. My husband ordered the muffuletta and the white bean salad. If you've had a muffuletta in New Orleans this is not the same. Tasty but less much meat. They offer a limited wine and beer menu. The Tuscan white bean salad was such a disappointment. The beans were inedible because they were so hard. You couldn't puncture them with a fork. Because they were so hard they couldn't absorb the dressing they were marinated in. Very disappointing for the special of the day! The soup was not brought out with the meal and we had to remind our server. Again mostly broth and very few lentils. We explained to the server about the beans...I think he knew they weren't edible. He offered a basket of fries in replacement which we accepted. Sadly, they were cold and some fries were soggy others hard. I would have hoped he would have brought us a basket of freshly made fries! On a positive note, we sat on the outside patio, near the fountain under a spectacular old oak tree and it was lovely.

Party of two at lunch time. Server was excellent - full of personality - but the food came out after a 30 minute wait. Tried the Muffuletta as this is, according to one reviewer, a dish to try before you die. Don't agree. It's good but not as good as some of the other stuff they had on the menu like the pulled pork, etc. Go for the atmosphere as it's a cool place to hang out.

Went for the beignets... disappointed! They were more like doughnuts. The burgers were okay. Nothing overly amazing.
