“We went here for dinner tonight for the first time and it was fantastic! The food was absolutely amazing. Everything tasted so delicious and the food and drinks came out very promptly despite the restaurant being at almost full capacity since it was the weekend. Our server was super friendly and on top of things. We will definitely be back! (I ordered the black bean cakes)“

“Amazing fresh food! Menu looks a bit confusing but I Googled the location and got a complete breakdown.? Dixie Chick sandwich was delicious full of flavor and they use regular mayo, not the sweet stuff!! Turkey Club had thick pieces of turkey but only one skinny piece of bacon and the end slice of tomato? overall still tasted awesome. Potato soup was delicious as was the Mac and cheese. Both of my entrees included an unexpected fancy sugar cookie. I love when restaurants go above and beyond! This location is a MUST TRY!!!? ?❤️“

“We had a great time and the food was delicious, but parking was a little bit difficult and service was a little slow. However, we did go at a busy brunch hour and had toddlers with us, so I'm sure things seemed slower than they actually were. Overall, we greatly enjoyed scratch kitchen!“

“This place has been my favorite BBQ place for years. We always take friends and family from out of town. The staff is always great and until recently with the menu changes the food was the best.How does a BBQ place not have a chopped BBQ plate?! Also taking away the Mac and cheese is disappointing. Lastly the burnt ends, it was both exciting and top notch on Wednesdays and Saturdays, the bark was crispy and made them. Now having them everyday in the sauce it’s a totally different flavor. Overall disappointed in the changes, I understand things evolve but don’t lose the quality in the process.“

“I went to Danny's yesterday with my 2 kids because my 7 year old loves their smoked turkey. We ordered and sat down. The lady at the counter said she would bring everything over. She brought our drinks. Then we waited and waited. I hate being "one of those customers" but it was like 30 minutes later, my kids were hungry and fighting. So I went up and asked "hey did you guys forget about us?" It was another lady at the counter by then. She couldn't find our order initially. Looked in the computer and found it. Apologizes profusely as the order didn't make it back to the kitchen. Without me asking for anything she immediately refunds the whole meal in cash and our delicious food was on the table within minutes. I know that this was just a miscommunication error somewhere but I was SO appreciative of the way they handled it. What a Nice bunch of people. And delicious brisket and smoked turkey to boot. We have been coming here for a while and will continue to do so. Love Danny's. The smell when you walk in the door immediately makes you hungry and their food doesn't disappoint. Fair prices as well compared to other BBQ places around (ahem City BBQ could take a leaf out of their book). Thank you so much for your kind service yesterday. Great experience as always. We will be back. Highly recommend!!“

“When I heard they were opening a location in Waverly Place I was really looking forward to trying their biscuits - and I was not disappointed when I did! I had the Nashville Hot Chicken biscuit, the biscuit was nice and tender, as was the chicken. The Nashville hot sauce had a nice level of heat with a really good flavor. My first introduction to Nashville Hot chicken was at Hattie-B in Nashville and the Rise version is best I've had outside of Nashville. My wife had the Guacamole Smash and was thoroughly pleased as well. I ordered the night before as I knew I was going to be going by their location about the time they opened and I wanted it ready to go. Their app worked well, and I received a text as I was pulling into the shopping center that my order was ready. Can't beat that! I look forward to working my way through their menu as time goes on. Give it a try yourself, I think you'll be as pleased as I.“

“I ordered the seafood platter that comes with fried catfish, fried oysters, fried shrimp ?, and fries. This dish needs a bit more flavor and seasoning for it to be a Louisiana restaurant but not bad.I enjoyed the red beans and rice ?, the corn ? bread ?, the gumbo, the jambalaya, and the fried alligator ? bites. These were all flavored nicely and seasoned well. I would definitely order this again.I ordered the bourbon Brownie. I didn't like this one. The bourbon sauce was just like eating sugar. The Brownie had a lot of sugar throughout it. The ice cream ? was hood though.Parking: Open parking.Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, there is wheelchair access.“
