Service was excellent and I had the ribs and orange shrimp appetizer for dinner. Food came out quickly and was hot. Highly recommend but make reservations as it gets busy.

As always, the food and service at Bluegrass was outstanding. We've never had a bad meal there. The owners, Joni and Jim, make you feel at home and the staff is always very friendly.

We came very early for dinner. The sevice person was very warm and accommodating. The food was served in a timely manner. The table had as a couple of the entrees, a beyond burger and a walleye dish. These 2 dishes were absolutely remarkable. The fish was prepared perfectly. The burger was juicy and flavorful. We will definitely be back.

The food at Bluegrass is always amazing and the service is great! Luke took fantastic care of us last night and is one of their best. You can always count of Bluegrass for an awesome meal, great service, and smiling faces. Of course, when I leave I am always smiling too!

I have loved Bluegrass for years, but the noise level can be difficult to deal with, and the dining area itself is so crowded.... I understand the ownership is trying to accommodate all of the folks who want to eat there, but being literally on-top of fellow diners can take away from the excellent food and service. Consider taking just one table out and spreading customers out a bit.... It would be so appreciated!!

Bluegrass is my favorite restaurant. It is a neighborhood gem with excellent food and excellent service. The owners, Jim and Joannie have created a special place. The menu has a great selection and the specials during Mardi Gras and other special times are always good. I highly recommend Bluegrass.

Made a reservation for 4 to celebrate a birthday, was seated immediately on arrival and the food and service were wonderful. Received a complimentary birthday dessert which was exceptional.

Exceptional food, friendly wait staff, great energy. The lunchtime crawfish etoufee, gumbo, shrimp and grits were all out of this world delicious. And save room for the bananas foster. Served table side, the "taster" size is more than enough for two, at $11. What a treat. We spent less here than we would've for the same old steak and potato, and went home stuffed.
I came into town for the weekend and wanted to eat out. So we decided to give bluegrass a try, there was a little bit of a wait, but the food was well worth it. The gumbo was delicious as was the jambalaya. Everything was great quality and the staff was extremely kind to everyone In our company. We also went around the time of Mardi Gras and they had cool decorations and beads that they handed out to everyone. If you’re in town, I highly recommend going.

Every time we go, the food does not disappoint. The BBQ plater is full of meat and perfectly prepared. I always recommend this place.

Had and enjoyable dinner in a restaurant that offers a good "neighborhood" atmosphere along with great service and food. The noise level was a little much, but Bluegrass is celebrating Mardi Gras this week.

We had a wonderful celebratory dinner at Bluegrass. The host/hostess were very welcoming, and the server who brought around tasting portions of the Hurricane cocktail was exceptionally nice with a good sense of humor. Our server, Luke, was terrific. He was friendly, attentive and very helpful with any menu questions. The menu had many great options and we all enjoyed our shared appetizer and our entrees. A bananas foster dessert that was gratis for our combined birthday and retirement celebration topped off the dinner in a fabulous way. We will definitely return!

Saw on trip advisor and so glad we tried it! Such a neat place- i'd go back! Love the “shots” of gumbo and the calamari looks amazing -blackened grouper with crawfish risotto was to die for! Went for sons 16 birthday - whoop whoop!
