My food was good! I had a bayou burger, fries, mozzarella sticks and fried pickles. 5 adults and 1 child, our ticket was $95, $115 after tip. A little pricey for a wing joint, but what isn't expensive these days.

Our waitress was wonderful and the atmosphere was okay, definitely aimed more towards college kids. The food wasn't very good. I ordered the pulled pork and it was really dry and the cheesy pig tasted okay but it looked terrible. They do have amazing fried pickles though, would recommend them for sure!

Slow, slow, slow. Regrettably, the pace of service was incredibly sluggish during my recent visit. It took a full 12 minutes to receive menus, followed by another 6 minutes to be asked about our drink choices, and a whopping 25 minutes until our food arrived. In total, we spent 43 minutes waiting for service. Despite it being wing night for the guys and me, the restaurant wasn't particularly crowded, suggesting they had adequate staff available. While the traditional wings were as delicious as ever, the overall service fell short and definitely requires a significant improvement.Parking: It's hard to find a spot when dark. The lines are not perfectKid-friendliness: Clean place for childrenWheelchair accessibility: No stairs, and handicap parking is available

If I could put zero stars on this review I would. Went into Shade on a early Friday afternoon, to an almost empty restaurant. We sat on the bar side,where we normally set. Finding all the tables ,save one, used and not bussed, we sat and waited for cleanup. After sitting there for 10 or minutes, a staff member walked by and told us she would help us when she had time. Almost 10 minutes passed we asked if someone could clean the table. I believe the bartender came over angrily and removed the dirty dishes. Someone then wiped the table. After a short time we asked if anyone was coming over to our table, and in a very loud and belligerent voice from the bar staff member, we were told in the beginning we would be served when they to time to do so. To make a long story short, I don't need someone yelling at me. If you don't have time to wait on me, I don't have time to wait on service. We left , and more than likely won't be back. We come in regularly, and you never what your going to get. Sometimes you get great service,and good food. Sometimes it's terrible, like it was then.

Wings were not good. Supposed to be garlic parm but were just regular sauce with a sprinkle of parm. No garlic flavor. Server was good.

My food was not that impressive, I had the pulled pork sandwich and it was as dry as the desert in summer. The fries were greasy and limp. The server was new and not well acquainted with the menu or drink offerings.

Service was decent but food was atrocious and straight from the frozen section at the local grocery store. Sick for the rest of the evening…
