“Atmosphere was just random furniture that got brought off of amazon. BUUT this was the only “bad” thing about this place. Staff were very friendly and brought our order to us in under 15 minutes.The food was amazing. Perfectly spicy yet crispy chicken and i love the fries. Chess pie was also delicious.5 stars.The food and service makes up for the weird atmosphere.“

“For some reason when you order the 2 piece chicken fried chicken with gravy & mashed potatoes (which is my favorite here) it's like asking for gold to get a small container filled with gravy to take with you to reheat the second patty and mashed potatoes for another meal. They have a small round to go container for it but you have to ask multiple times to attempt to get a full container. It is this way at all 4 locations I have visited. You end up with 1/4 of a container in multiple containers if you request several times. That is the only complaint I have. Really love this dish.This particular waiter never came back to check on us without us turning on the light on the item on the table (so ran out of drinks).“

“Char Bar is a go to BBQ place in Westport. Portion sizes are great, tender, juicy and flavorful meats. Even the few vegetarian options they have taste great.Service can be a bit slow sometimes, but usually good. Staff members are friendly (servers and bartenders) but hosts can be a tad bit curt, not in a rude way though.Their side options are all very good, can't go wrong with Jo Jo potatoes! Cornbread muffins are great too!“

“Lula is a great time. The vibe is fun and lively, service was on point even with the busy crowd. Their brunch and cocktail options are impressive. I had The Beekeeper cocktail which I absolutely loved.I love shrimp & grits and I’ve realized it’s a pretty good barometer for judging the food of the restaurant, so that’s what I went with. Great ingredients, the flavor of the grits was pretty good but they make it a little thicker than my liking. Shrimp was blackened which was decent but a bit on the dry side. My wife loved the chicken with the chicken & waffle and I liked the waffle more than she did so we had somewhat of a mixed review, but overall a great time and this is definitely a fun brunch spot.At least speaking for the weekend, be prepared for a pretty long wait (I recommend Tom’s next door while you wait).“

“The green salad was brought to us 10 minutes "after we had started eating the entree, this was unusual, collards green was fine seasoning but way too salty to enjoy so took home and rinsed with purified water then ate tasty they were indeed, red beans rice was good seasoned but too salty, French fries was a bit mush undercooked (as the cooks prolly rushing I know bcz I've been a line cook) and too salty, frie catfish was good though one or two pieces a bit undercooked mushy instead of krunchy as cooks prolly in a rush to fill orders so I just take home in oven to crisp up, no problem, and fried oysters were very awesome , great dip sauce, servers were very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, presentations of the various food items by altogether 4 different servers was indeed theatrical and admirable, wonder ful atmosphere to dine, great artwork all over.“
